Fit for Office

[_Goya]

its a party thang, correct?

1. John F Kennedy was an adulterer with alleged mob ties.
2. Ted Kennedy left her in the river.
3. Bill Clinton took advantage of a woman in the Oval Office.
4. Obama ran guns to Drug Lords.
5. Obama covertly gave millions to terrorist states.
6. Biden fondles females of all ages.
7. Hillary....'nuff said.
8. John Edwards and his "legit" campaign finances (indicted).
9. Blagojevich selling Senate seat.
10. Anthony Weiner.

Explain how Democrats are qualified to lecture anyone on the standards for political office?

(TIA)

Alternatively, perhaps you'd explain how you are.

If i ever claim to be then it would be appropriate for me to offer an explanation....but...

No one is saying that you're claiming to do anything. I'm writing about what you're actually doing. When you posted your list of ten Democratic reprobates, you were in effect lecturing on 'standards for political office.'

If, as you say, 'the Democrats' aren't qualified to do so, then how are you?

ationalize or even condone the actions of any President. Try to focus and dial down the manufactured outrage over trivial and inconsequential "characteristics". The OP sets forth the very real idiocy that you pretend to measure the "worthiness" of a politician with. The last 24 months of lawfare have been entertaining but inconsequential, they have been the oddest social therapy i have ever witnessed.
Nevertheless, this thread is not about excusing or condemning anyone's actions except those who pretend to be shocked by the behavior of Trump....suddenly you guys having a noble standard for how one is to be considered as "qualified" for political office all but dismisses your criticisms as childish and moronic.

"The ATF in the Obama admin continued a dubious Bush administration program of leaking contraband weapons into the black market in an effort to track them and sting Mexican drug cartel leaders" is quite different than, "Obama ran guns to drug lords." The latter is a dishonest description of the former. The actual scandal is a black mark on the Obama admin's judgment, but it hardly begins to compare to 4th tier level Trump scandals much less the sum total of Trump's negative impact on American governance. Trying to create some false equivalence to get to "Democrats did bad things like run guns to drug lords, so how can you complain about Trump" is layered in its stupidity.

The sad thing is this probably runs quite close to your non-trolling opinion where you think you're above it all for not getting caught up in inconsequential distractions and normal failings of government. That things are not inconsequential and your arrogance is a byproduct of your ignorance is naturally lost on you.

But the OP didn't seek to rationalize or even condone the actions of any President. Try to focus and dial down the manufactured outrage over trivial and inconsequential "characteristics".

Looks like the only 'manufactured outrage' is from the guy still posting about crazy Clinton and Obama conspiracy theories while simultaneously shouting insults on a message board to anyone you don't agree with for posting less-than-complimentary truths about the moron that you voted for. That disqualifies myself from the short list occupied by the two of us.

The OP sets forth the very real idiocy that you pretend to measure the "worthiness" of a politician with.

Oh. Then try harder, because it only looks like another one of the many nonsensical and rambling posts that you make when trying to defend the moron that you voted for.

Nevertheless, this thread is not about excusing or condemning anyone's actions except those who pretend to be shocked by the behavior of Trump...

Damn. It only took you half a paragraph to forget whatever your earlier claim was for the purpose of your thread.

...suddenly you guys having a noble standard for how one is to be considered as "qualified" for political office all but dismisses your criticisms as childish and moronic.

Besides noting your confusion over the difference between judging someone "qualified" for public office versus the concept of examining the actions committed by that same politician, I note that the fellow here accusing folks of childish and moronic criticisms is the same fellow who believes that Hillary Clinton ran a child prostitution ring out of the basement of a pizza parlor because you were told to believe it, by the same set of folks childish and moronic enough to run a half-hour news segment criticizing the last President for using Dijon mustard. ; )
