Goldwater (who ranked as a major general in the Air Force) was advocating for the participation of gays and lesbians in the military in the 1980's. After his retirement from the Senate, he worked for gay and lesbian rights groups to help end discrimination in Arizona.
Goldwater was also instrumental in pushing for the desegregation of the armed forces after WW2.
…and the Republican draft-dodger man-child in the other corner:
I wrote ‘The Art of the Deal’ with Trump. His self-sabotage is rooted in his past.
That is unfair to six year olds.
Six year olds have an innate curiosity and understand the difference between right and wrong.
How's that Resistance stuff workin' for ya?
Fresh off their victory in Kansas, Dems send another strong message in Montana.
Deal with it, noodledick. Your dufus dropped 17 points from Trumps average. Tee hee hee!
Same guy lost to the Dem governor last go round. So by that logic he gained 10 points.
Glad to know Montana has a real First Amendment champion representing them.
Did you like him assaulting a reporter like all the other fascists in your party do, Carnholio?
I think most of us here can imagine Buyers Remorse at a fever pitch by mid-terms. Enjoy the ride between now and then.
Most people on Pols can imagine a lot of things.
When they wake up they have a Republican President, Senate and House.
One might think that with that concentration in power we'd be seeing so much winning that even your side would be exhausted some 120-ish days in. We're all exhausted, just not for the reasons we thought we'd be.
I think I'll spend the remainder of the day imagining you in drag.
Michael:
The feature of our government that is underappreciated by everyone is the built in resistance to change, sometimes referred to as gridlock. It was created by the founding fathers to be a check and if you are trying to change things it becomes very difficult. To the extent that the executive has been able to end run it by executive orders they get reversed rather rapidly. The serious stuff takes ages.
Yep … Republican President, Senate and House … who still can't pass a budget with any of the Republican platform priorities, pass "day one" repeal and replace ACA legislation, or have a coherent tax policy to guide implementation.
Just curious … If the Republicans DO pass a budget like Trump proposes and get the tax "reforms" they say they want, do you think the national debt will rise more than or less than $1.5 trillion? And will Republicans be happy by the accomplishment?
Twenty seven leaders of the Free World watched in acute embarrassment Thursday as our minority president rudely shoved others aside before giving a rambling speech during which he forgot to mention, still less affirm, the collective security principle upon which NATO is founded.
Once again, Trump stinks.
Stay upwind, my friends.
So does Giantfarte. Montana is downwind.
If the guy did something serious to the reporter like killed him, drove him into a lake and left him there to drown, he would never be elected, right Ted?
Okay. So violating freedom of the press is fine. Just don't kill anybody (yet). Sayet Carnholio.
Why are you worried about the press? They don't do there job now.
Read the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights.
So?
I'm wondering about Andrew's new infatuation with Ted Kennedy's driving accident back in 1969.
It's either Ted Kennedy or Benghazi for Goebbels boy, CHB
Be aware, our resident lickspittle has utterly run out of ways to defend Trump and his thugs. He is now reduced to arguing that Ted Kennedy had an auto accident 45 years ago, so all Republicans are now entitled to break any law without punishment or criticism. Way to be current, Noodledick! And you still haven't told us how your mom's court hearing turned out.
Now, now. There's nothing in the Constitution that precludes a violent sociopathic ragemonkey from serving in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Then again, there's nothing in the Constitution that precludes the rest of us from expelling from the union a state in which the electorate votes by a fairly comfortable margin to send a violent sociopathic ragemonkey to Congress. From our standpoint, it's just self defense.
Pol to the rescue. Poor unnamed couldn't name the violation the government committed against the man-child rude reporter.
Uhh, Prunie, the government didn't assault the reporter. Your candidate did, a misdemeanor under Montana law.
Correct, unnamed inferred a government violation.
Whatever prunie. I inferred that a candidate for office couldn't answer a fair question and beat up a reporter who did not lay a finger on him. Which can be interpreted as intimidation of the press. Implying he does not respect freedom of the press. Yet he was running for office where upholding the constitution is integral. Also integral, is taking questions from "rude" reporters. Said reporter was doing his job. Like it or not.
Nice try. Not what you said. You said, "read the first amendment….".
That's nice.
…and you said there when you should have said their. I think you're more than even.
No, he didn't. He implied it. You inferred it, P.P.
PP is so good at side-stepping that he is channeling a dance combo of Fred Astaire and Michael Jackson. Moonwalk anyone?
That's because he doesn't know anthing about NATO, V.
I'm Back……
And so is House of Cards next week. Tune in.
