Clinton confuses Constitution with Declaration of Independence in gun pitch
Published February 25, 2016 - FoxNews.com

Constitution, Declaration of Independence ... whatever.

That seemed to be Hillary Clinton’s take on the nation’s two most important documents during an interview Wednesday, as she confused the texts in making the case for more gun laws.

The Democratic presidential front-runner mistakenly cited a “constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” during the interview with host Steve Harvey.

“We’ve got to say to the gun lobby, you know what, there is a constitutional right for people to own guns, but there’s also a constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that enables us to have a safe country where we are able to protect our children and others from this senseless gun violence,” she said.

Harvey offered her an approving “absolutely.”

But the famous “life, liberty” line is, of course, from the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. It says: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The Democratic presidential front-runner endured some ribbing on Twitter for the slip.

The video:

Apparently Hillary Clinton is not familiar with the owner’s manual.

Are you planning on posting anything about Trump stating that he was planning on suing any media outlets who speak poorly of him in violation of the First Ammendment? This is the single most dangerous thing that any candidate has said.

There is nothing to post since there is nothing there.

Trump has said that this was his intention numerous times over the last few days. He is not a conservative just ask Cruz.

Donald Trump Threatens To Sue Media Outlets, ‘Open Up’ Libel Laws: ‘With Me, They’re Not Protected’

Donald Trump is going after the media, threatening to sue publications for writing negatively about him.

During a Friday rally in Texas, Trump launched into a monologue about how he felt that the media was treating him unfairly, alleging that the New York Timesand Washington Post, in particular, were not covering him well.

“The New York Times, which is losing a fortune, which is a failing newspaper, which probably won’t be around much longer … but I think the New York Times is one of the most dishonest media outlets I’ve ever seen in my life,” the businessman said. “They have an agenda that you wouldn’t believe.”

“If I become president, oh, do they have problems. They’re gonna have such problems,” Trump said.

He added:

One of the things I’m gonna do, and this is only gonna make it tougher for me, and I’ve never said this before, but one of the things I’m gonna do if I win … is I’m gonna open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money. We’re gonna open up those libel laws.

So that when the New York Timeswrites a hit piece which is a total disgrace, or when the Washington Post… writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money, instead of having no chance of winning because they’re totally protected.

Trump continued his speech, threatening to roll back the media’s First Amendment protections in the Constitution.

“With me, they’re not protected, because I’m not like other people… We’re gonna open up those libel laws, folks, and we’re gonna have people sue you like you never got sued before,” he said.

Apparently you do not understand the legal difference between libel and defamation.

No lawsuit has been filed by Donald Trump against any media organization for libel.

What's wrong with socialism?

__________________________________________

Socialism:

1. High taxes

2. **** ty medical care

3. Crappy automobiles

4. Drab housing

5. Food rationing

These would only happen under absolute socialism. But if incorporated into a select few areas of concentration, it's been well documented to have succeeded in other parts of the world. I agree that absolute socialism over income and employment would lead to devastation to a country, but Bernie is not suggesting that. If your ability to earn is still unlimited in a free enterprise, there's no reason to believe that a higher taxation on the rich would cause a decrease in motivation for innovation. The same incentives would still exist. I can't imagine a true entrepreneur deciding not to start a business simply because he will enter a high tax bracket once he earns millions of dollars per year.

20,000 Massachusetts Democrats switch parties before Super Tuesday
By Anna Giaritelli (@anna_giaritelli) • 2/29/16 10:17 PM

Thousands of Massachusetts Democrats have denounced their party affiliations since January 1 to jump across the aisle and join the ranks of Independent or Republicans.

Nearly 20,000 Bay State Democrats, or 1.3 percent of the party's Masachussetts population, left to vote in the Republican primary Tuesday. More than 16,300 of that group have "unenrolled" or become Independent voters, while 3,500 have joined the GOP.

Mass. Secretary of State William Glavin attributed the switches to the "Trump phenomenon." The billionaire candidate has a significant lead over fellow top contenders Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz in recent state polls.

"The tenor of the Republican campaign has been completely different from what we've seen in prior Republican presidential campaigns," Galvin said. "You have to look no farther than the viewership for some of the televised debates.

If every Massachusetts Independent voted in the GOP primary on Super Tuesday, as many as 700,000 ballots could be cast, with the "unenrolled" making up one-third of the total.

Donald Trump has convinced some Democrats to switch parties.

I voted in the Republican primary when Eric Cantor ran against David Brat for Congress. A lot of my Progressive friends did the same. I even worked a telephone tree to get the vote out. Folks around here knew the only way to get rid of Cantor was in the primary. It was a great strategy and Cantor won.

Not that Brat is any better. It was really just about firing Cantor.

I considered the same strategy today but none of the Republicans have a chance against Trump.

So I figured a vote for Bernie would at least send a message to Hillary to move more to the left.

Bernies fate was sealed when he backed off a legitimate and real concern about the email scandal.

His spineless debate performance to not ruffle Clintons feathers revealed more about his weak character than anything he has done since in the remaining debates.

It didn’t help Bernie Sanders, as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, when he supported the Obama administration’s policy of f*ck the veterans, let ‘em die policy.

Hillary Clinton is still refusing to release the transcripts of her speeches to Goldman Sachs where she was paid more than $600,000.

What is the Hooker of Wall Street hiding?

I hope you are right Keller, but I'm worried. I think there are a lot of people out there that don't know the rules have changed in many States and they might not have the proper documentation to vote. This election could have been a wake up call.

These numbers are driven by Trump, I don't think these high numbers represent traditional Republicans. In fact, I'm sure they don't because Republicans have never had this high of turnout. There are a lot of folks out there who just want a change and he has created a movement. My biggest hope is that the Establishment Republicans pull some shenanigans and put someone else on the ticket.

Until then you can bet I'm doing everything I can to encourage like minded folk to get their crap together and vote.

There is no point in predicting who will win based on a few primaries. Most of the elections have occurred in the south which has never been a bell weather for the country overall. The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Grin

I know a lot of Bernie supporters, and not a single one would consider voting for Trump. One said that if Bernie doesn't win the nomination, he won't vote at all. All of the others will vote for Hillary if Bernie doesn't win the nomination.

I do have a very good friend of mine who has never voted Democrat in his life who said that if Trump wins the nomination he will be voting Democrat for the first time ever. A friend of his in on the same conversation was in the exact same situation and was planning on doing the same (adding that he thought Bernie was the only trustworthy candidate even though his politics were completely opposite of his own).

Don’t Assume Bernie Sanders Supporters Will Back Hillary Clinton If She’s The Nominee

Some of the Vermont senator's fans would rather not vote -- or even vote for Donald Trump -- than vote for Hillary.

Hillary Clinton’s ‘honest’ and ‘trustworthy’ numbers are lower than ever.

In a brand new Washington Post-ABC News national poll, just 37 percent of people believe Hillary Clinton is honest and trustworthy while 57 percent say they don't think she is.

Hey muletroll, considering the 3 Stooges act that breaks out at every GOP debate and the total lack of ideas that come from any of your candidates, maybe you should worry about your own party before throwing stones at any Democrat.

That article didn't mention what the numbers are for the other candidates. Do you really think Americans consider those other candidates to be any more honest or trustworthy? We are talking about politicians here after all. You also didn't mention that the article said that this didn't matter very much and the conclusion of that article was:

"That's certainly true today. If it's true on Nov. 8, Clinton will likely be elected as the nation's 45th president."

That's what the polls say right now. The Republicans have been slinging mud at Clinton for decades now and she is still leading the polls against Trump. I think most people have already made up their minds about her, and she is still leading despite all the attacks. Maybe the Republicans should start looking ahead at 2020 and see if they can find a candidate that won't make the majority of Americans want to vomit.
