Democrats: Get your act together on Gov. Northam

[bill718]

Thoughts from an Independent:

I've been hard on Trump and the GOP, and for good reason, but it's time for the Democrats to be called to account:

For 2 years Democrats have pointed their little noses skyward and sought the moral high ground vs the trash talking, racist, disrespectful, bullying Donald Trump. So far, it's worked. The Dem's took back the house in a big way, while only conceding a few senate seats. Now the Democrats have their own little mess to clean up. Governour Northam's racist photo, attitude, and unwillingness to resign should force Democrats to kick him out of the Democratic party, and use every legal means to remove him from office. They should do this now! So far the Dem's have said all the right things, but they've not backed it up. Democrats: Get your act together on Gov. Northam or you'll be just as much the hypocrites as you accuse Trump supporters of being.

I wish the Republicans and all the conservatives nationwide had gotten this worked up over Governor LePage, who was our openly racist shitforbrains Governor for 8 years. Boy, was his timing excellent. Now he and his big fat mouth are off in Florida, enjoying retirement.

That’s funny. I’ve got news for you, the Democrats are every bit the hypocrites that Trump is, regardless of how they handle the racist VA Governor.

Question for you - you say you are independent, I myself am an unaffiliated voter, but I admit I am conservative. Which party do your core beliefs and values most closely align?

Why does that matter? What does it have to do with the price of eggs here?

-Trump going on camera admitting to sexual assaulting woman, followed by 21 separate woman saying he did exactly that..... lets make him president.
-Roy Moore credibly accused of having sex with minors... lets try to get him into congress.
-Kavanaugh credibly accused of sexual assault.... lets appoint him a supreme court justice.
- Northam, have a picture taken while wearing blackface... this man should resign.
Democrats are hypocrites??? This is the Democratic response.
Democrats Are Urging Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to Resign Over Racist Photo
Whom of you is on the record saying the same for Trump?

You don’t think core principles and values matter? It matters because some people claim to be independent while always shilling for one side.

Resign for what?

For doing something REALLY stupid and VERY insensitive BUT LEGAL at a party (while drinking)...34 years ago?

Are people not allowed to make mistakes - in your world?

His voting record as a politician has - apparently - shown ZERO bias against African Americans. He apparently belongs to a church with a 'black' pastor whose congregation is about 60% 'black'.
Does that sound like a man who hates 'blacks'?

The guy fucked up once 34 years ago and he (badly) apologized for it.

That should be good enough for any decent human being - Dem or Rep.

And I am not alone in this thought.



Democrats are quickly becoming the party of zero tolerance...which is deeply concerning.

 

[Kilroy2]

really the willingness to paint someone a racist based on one picture alone

still the guy in the hood should be worried if he ever becomes a politician

So he dresses as MJ

If you got other instances that show a pattern of racism then we can get an accurate picture but this one incident doesn't cut it

He has been criticized by the demos and should be embarrassed but doesn't need to resign

Trump has called a senator Pocahontas

June 2017, Trump said 15,000 recent immigrants from Haiti “all have AIDS” and that 40,000 Nigerians would never “go back to their huts” in Africa.

Trump vulgarly called for less immigration from Haiti and Africa and more from Norway

tweeting with white nationalist

"@WhiteGenocideTM: @realDonaldTrump Poor Jeb. I could've sworn I saw him outside Trump Tower the other day! Twitter / Account Suspended"

That is a pattern and I really didn't scratch the surface

 

[leftwinger]

They got rid of weird Al Franken for a prank. Anythings possible.

I still dont see any wrong here? A costume 35 years ago? Telling nonsense stories? Hello, they are almost all crazy incompetents or they would be working real jobs. Get over it.

The "rapist"? Huh? Do the Cops want him? If not, shut up.

 

[FA_Q2]

-Roy Moore credibly accused of having sex with minors... lets try to get him into congress.

Except that is not what happened and he eneded up losing becuause of it. And in this case, the republicans actually had to lose power over this.

-Kavanaugh credibly accused of sexual assault.... lets appoint him a supreme court justice.

He was not credibly accused of anything. That was the big issue there - there charges were totally unverified and that is not a credible charge.

A better question is if you even want someone that DOESN'T have something like this in their past. Not this specifically this but something controversial and/or moronic.

Seriously, anyone that has any wisdom at all has had to live at some time and learn from that time. I expect that anyone with a free mind has said or done something really stupid before passing out of their early 20s - that is what being young is for.

There are many males who have lost jobs or been destroyed by allegations in your SJW march to oblivion. And that is on all sides of the aisle. Agendas may start out nice but they fester over time. Now it is a runaway train and your side who get protected more is starting to see the affect and since you have many more people who have done things because of your open policy of anything goes, this will increase. Your progressive socialists are a loose confederation of groups that will turn on each other when the wheels are not greased as much.

What have people been calling Trump since he announced his plan to run for President? he is the the equal person around. He calls them names back. You spout wha tyou may, but we just have went through weeks of teenager debating if he had a smirk on his face. This while being pelted with hate crime names from African American Israelite males and a Native American shoving a drum into his face.

well, first, we haven't even established he is either of the two guys in that picture, and he certainly didn't put that picture in the yearbook, someone else did.

So we should force a guy to resign for a picture someone else put in a year book as a joke?

This is like when we forced Al Franken to resign because a Stripper whined he treated her like a stripper.

This reminds me of LBJ's observation that the difference between liberals and cannibals is cannibals don't eat their friends.

Democrats keep having to re-learn the old lesson about 'rocks' and 'glass houses' over and over...

...but they never learn.
