Hillary is a pragmatist who understands the real world. Nitram Jul 2015 #303

"Pragmatism" is why it is getting so hot in this handcart already. hifiguy Jul 2015 #340

Oh fucking please, Glass-Steagall was passed once before, it can be again. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #339

And your ridiculous unqualified absolute reflects poorly on you. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #369

No, absolutes in politics, politics is the art of the possible lewebley3 Jul 2015 #383

And you have asserted, with precisely zero evidence AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #384

If you don't think there is evidence then you need to go back to school lewebley3 Jul 2015 #385

That which can be fairly asserted without evidence, can be fairly dismissed without evidence. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #387

No evidence, HA! HA! Do you ever do any reading yourself lewebley3 Jul 2015 #388

If it's sooooo easy, why have you failed to reference a shred of it? AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #391

I would rather vote for someone that pledged to work towards breaking up the banksters monopoly than rhett o rick Jul 2015 #86

I don't think any US President on their own could do it. mwooldri Jul 2015 #266

Exactly. Bernie does not have the magical power to break up big banks. Nitram Jul 2015 #300
