You think about it. Cha Jun 2019 #7
Nothing like twisting the idea behind the comments and the post. The same holds true... George II Jun 2019 #10
Because Biden said "if you were at was a fancy Washington restaurant" in his story. bluewater Jun 2019 #11
Yes he did. So? There are LOTS of "fancy restaurants" in Washington or any major city.... George II Jun 2019 #12
"that don't necessarily cater to "lobbyists" or "politicians" " bluewater Jun 2019 #14

1. Why does that matter? 2. You just made an asinine assumption wyldwolf Jun 2019 #16
I didn't make any assumptions melman Jun 2019 #21
Yeah, you did, the insinuation was obvious. wyldwolf Jun 2019 #23
No I didn't melman Jun 2019 #25
He doesn't - and as a gay mans this still happens all the time FreeState Jun 2019 #31
Some folks just want to BASH Democrats whenever they can Eliot Rosewater Jul 2019 #66
He didn't say 'I' so I would assume he was just using a blanket example to make a point. Drunken Irishman Jun 2019 #17
It doesn't work as a blanket example melman Jun 2019 #22
Unfortunately, for many, it was okay in 2014. Drunken Irishman Jun 2019 #24
Didn't say it was okay, just said no one would have said anything. Beartracks Jun 2019 #28
Maybe where you are but in many parts of the country it WAS okay, in fact.... George II Jul 2019 #48
He's told this story more than once before melman Jun 2019 #29

Where does he say: "I was at a table with business people 15 years ago ... ." betsuni Jul 2019 #42
How else does he know melman Jul 2019 #44
"It's not good enough for somebody to say, 'Hey, I'm a Latina, vote for me.'" betsuni Jul 2019 #46

Send his campaign an email and ask him. He said it wasn't a joke so.... George II Jun 2019 #33
Give it up, melman.. Cha Jul 2019 #36
Give what up? melman Jul 2019 #38
Biden bashing is quite transparent nt Vegas Roller Jul 2019 #51
"Give what up?" An absurd and failed narrative. LanternWaste Jul 2019 #56
How so? melman Jul 2019 #67
Isn't that speculative innuendo? Vegas Roller Jul 2019 #39
your choice: fabricate a story about Biden, or write a positive thread about your candidates emulatorloo Jul 2019 #53

It was only a few weeks ago there were posts "snickering" about Lindsey Graham supposedly being gay, still_one Jun 2019 #35
As much as I don't like Graham, those posts infuriated me, and thankfully almost all were removed. George II Jul 2019 #60
same here George, but my point was that some people thought it was ok, and that wasn't 5 years ago still_one Jul 2019 #61
Right. Some people (even here) STILL think it's okay to joke about things like that. Sad. George II Jul 2019 #62
Exactly still_one Jul 2019 #63
