Just what are you trying to do here?

For prosperity:

28. i dunno about you but our side needs some pitbulls who may sometimes offend us to get.....

..their (our) message across. Criminey how many times have I had to listen to the 'C' word or the 'B' word...or suffered the indignities of simply being female. Yes he said it was wrong but don't stifle his voice...or HER voice over it, we NEED people like Bill and Kathy and Alan Greyson and hell yes even Anthony Wiener who can and will get in the gutter, when we wont, and fight like hell for us...because we don't want to get our hands dirty. I would rather they be on OUR side than the other.

If we are going to be squeaky clean we are gonna keep losing.

I can't do that. I believe it is correct. gulliver Jun 2017 #13

Not worth it- to YOU. And that seems to be what's lost in these dozens of "hey it doesn't bother me" bettyellen Jun 2017 #51

Apologies do not guarantee forgiveness, and they certainly do not elicit apologies elehhhhna Jun 2017 #14

I've never ever heard this convoluted logic before- but I'm sure I'll find bettyellen Jun 2017 #17

Right? I guess if someone hits me and later apologizes I should apologize for being hurt? elehhhhna Jun 2017 #19

It's a real Trumpian sense of agrievement and entitlement to even suggest bettyellen Jun 2017 #22
