Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted January 9, 2015 Members Share Posted January 9, 2015 What's wrong with Newsom DRW50? I hear it's either him or Harris-Brown I think.....they both look young, smart, and capable. And they're both Democrats on the rise so I'd support either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 10, 2015 Members Share Posted January 10, 2015 Newsom doesn't seem to have ever actually done much or stood for much. He did fight for gay marriage, but otherwise I don't think I've heard him on any fronts besides the affair scandal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted January 10, 2015 Members Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I don't blame them. Time to go to Israel or the U.S. like yesterday. Not that I think it's easy to leave everything you know, but the writing has been on the wall for awhile now. http://www.haaretz.com/blogs/routine-emergencies/.premium-1.636348?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Edited January 10, 2015 by Juliajms 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 10, 2015 Members Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) I wonder if this will affect any politics in Israel. Sounds like most of them are moving to the UK and Israel, but I guess some are moving to the US. I'd read about how bad this was getting in Europe but I don't think it hit me until the last year or so. http://observer.com/2014/09/wealthy-french-jews-are-fleeing-anti-semitism-and-bringing-their-money/ Edited January 10, 2015 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted January 10, 2015 Members Share Posted January 10, 2015 It got worse with the Palestinian/Israel conflict that happened over the summer. Some people tend to blame all Jews for anything that happens with Israel, as if the average European Jew had any say in the matter (some of the richest people do, in a sense). I don't see it getting better any time soon, since it's just a matter of time before Hamas manages to build up more rockets for the next conflict. It's kind of depressing, but this is an age old battle and I don't see any political solution happening any time soon, but maybe some amazing leaders will emerge on one side or the other and their will be an answer. It's happened in other cases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GMac Posted January 13, 2015 Members Share Posted January 13, 2015 The "liberal" mainstream media continues to hound the White House for not sending a high level administration official to Paris for the march. GMAB. I think it would have been nice to see them there, but I don't understand the controversy. At all. Grasping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 13, 2015 Members Share Posted January 13, 2015 Child, don't get me started. If he'd gone the same people would've bitched about Obama going to France for a vacation. It's even worse when you consider that many of those critics couldn't talk enough trash about France as some kind of "socialist" hellhole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted January 13, 2015 Members Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Oh yes. That idiocy was brought to you by another Ohio Republican: Bob Ney. Last I heard he'd moved into talk radio after his corrupt ass got out of jail. Edited January 14, 2015 by marceline 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted January 14, 2015 Members Share Posted January 14, 2015 http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-georgia-gay-marriage-20150108-story.html Glad that my state is potentially ahead of the learning curve and not being one of the last ones to do it. I hope that this passes. Now if they'll just get to work on that medical marijuana bill.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted January 14, 2015 Members Share Posted January 14, 2015 Every country sent their leader. Even if he didn't want to go, sometimes you gotta. How come Saudi Arabla and Russia can send someone but America can't? This has nothing to do with liberal vs conservative because even liberals like Jon Stewart are pointing this out. The adminstration f-ed up here, not Obama. They probably didn't even tell him it was happening and didn't realize everyone was going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vote4llama Posted January 14, 2015 Members Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Has this been discussed yet? A "terror specialist" being interviewed on Fox News said that Birmingham, ENGLAND is almost all Muslim and non-Muslims don't even visit. The thing I don't mind about Fox News is that is gives conservatives a platform to show their ass to the world. They're really becoming less and less credible by the second. Hopefully if it's successful, Louisiana will follow suit and legalize both. It'll probably be second-to-last, beating only Mississippi Edited January 14, 2015 by vote4llama 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
