I really hope my post was not deleted without discussion of why. This is not good men to silence without discussion. This really is not what good men do. This was evidenced by the heavy debate in the first continental congress. These are times that will bring out passions. Know that this is not personal but intended to draw discussion to learn another point of view to move forward.

I do understand your issue. But we are talking about YOUR children really and I have to think this narrow mindedness is not normally your wrongness. But I think you are going down a very dangerous wormhole.
I meant your being-ness not wrongness as your usual operating status. Spell check doesn’t like colloquial speech.

It appears my concern has merit. And in today’s news, an overwhelmingly majority of Yale students willingly signed a petition, one saying it’s”awesome what you’re doing here today, man”, to repeal the First Amendment, so as to halt labelled hate speech. This is just one of the most prominent schools, especially the school of law. My comment about youth inviting the destruction of the US appears to be not unfounded. Think of all the other campuses around the country. Added in 100,000 Syrians since 2012 of which certainly some are in fact terrorists and what do you think the end… Read more »

And I just loved Hillary’s first ad about the values of mom instilled in her to be the wonderful person she is today. 1 ad. It was not seen again because everybody saw it for the media approach to make her look like something everybody knew she wasn’t. Basically your leftist Ted Cruz advertising of which you speak

Sorry Rob. I was enmeshed with another writer’s article. Same result but wrong author. This really isn’t a one issue campaign. We seriously have a lot of issues. So don’t approve only one part of it without understanding all the baggage their bringing. Both sides.

Ahh Tom. Another bout of optimism dashed. Sigh….it’s like the guy wandering through big box electronic stores forever looking for the camera dept. Only to find after the struggle with optimism to end up in….cellphones. Although I share that optimism I really want at least one of these authors to pop back in and defend their position. Haven’t seen it yet. Lets talk foreign policy a bit. I have no faith in congress at all because not one have stood up out of the foxhole to say anything controversial. They are so scared of being wrong they cannot provide any… Read more »

Soooo… It’s scandalous and horrible that a political candidate’s campaign ads might take a few attempts to perfect? I really don’t understand the point of this article.

PursuitAce and Mark, I thought that’s what the article was about but I thought I’d give the writer the benefit of the doubt and hope there was may have been more to it … I was wrong

Other than what pursuit said I don’t get the point either. They’re ALL fake. Look at good ole Hillary. About as fake as they come. Will be the REAL Hil to this group until a better one comes along. Or if she wants to kiss up to one group she thinks can help her by showing her outrage in support of their cause du jour.

The point is the usual. Don’t vote for Ted Cruz. It’s directed at independent voters and confused liberal voters.

I’m not sure what your point is?
