“9/11 changed me. I’m shocked that it didn’t change the whole country, frankly,”

The perceived change did not surprise former Saturday Night Live colleague and Democratic Party Senator Al Franken, however: "People have said to me, ‘What happened to Dennis?’ Nothing happened to Dennis. He's the same Dennis. He's always had a conservative streak on certain issues."

Miller told USA Today in 1995: "I might be profane and opinionated, but underneath all that are some pretty conservative feelings. On most issues, between Clinton and Newt Gingrich, I'd choose Newt in a second, even though he is a bit too exclusionary."

Also, the 1992 election:
On his podcast "The PO'D Cast" with Adam Carolla and Dennis Miller, Miller stated that one of the factors was watching Democrats mock and ridicule former VP candidate James Stockdale. He quips how that Stockdale who "tapped out Morse Code prayers with American POWs so they wouldn't kill themselves, is getting hammered because he isn't good on TV."

It really doesn't after we have seen trump botch his response to the terrorist attacks that have been happening in the US in the last few months or so over and over again.

I could be remembering incorrectly, but hasn't Clinton been repeatedly rated significantly higher than Trump in polls IRT handling domestic terrorist incidents?

Because he already says that cops don't act because of PC. it helps him with the white voters he is basically trying to run up record margins on.

Lol, yeah I see it all the time on my friend's Facebook posts. Most of my friends come from heavily Republican families and whenever they make posts about voting for Johnson their relatives scream at them about casting a vote for Clinton.

We've had far, far worse terrorist attacks in 2016 and unless I'm mistaken not a single one has actually helped Trump. Partially because he's incapable of responding in a way that isn't offensive. I think it's just some thing liberals made up so they have something else to worry about.

Ah OK, HW Bush apparently privately told someone he is voting for Clinton, but it hasn't officially been confirmed. I kind of doubt he says if he is or not publicly.

Reportedly they didn't even want Jeb throwing his hat in the ring as potential contenders for Hillary.

I've never had any doubts that HR would vote Clinton. He's easily the best GOP president of my life time. He dropped trickle down economics like a ton of bricks when he saw it wasn't working, he's not one of the blind faithful.

It's honestly impressive how much Rand Paul has debased himself over the last 12-18 months:

Paul, who has continued as a practicing eye surgeon since his 2010 election to the Senate, says it’s impossible to reach a conclusion about someone’s health without an actual examination.

“I think she has some significant health problems–I don’t know what they are,” he said.

“Her losing consciousness, there, which by all appearances she did lose consciousness, is not something commonly associated with pneumonia,” the surgeon said.

The former first lady had a heat stress incident while attending the Sept. 11 Ground Zero ceremony in New York City. After the incident, the Clinton left the ceremony abruptly, which her campaign ascribed to part of her struggle with a bout of pneumonia. Videos of the Democratic nominee for president appear to show her collapsing and being hauled into a black van.

Paul said he was confused by how Clinton‘s doctor explained her pneumonia.

“The diagnosis as a something being a non-infectious infection is kind of a strange way to describe a pneumonia as well,” he said.

“Her heath is an issue,” he said. “Particularly the fact that she has not been very forthcoming with it.”

This is the opposite of what he'd have you believe happens.

Listen, clearly we should have identified the 8 year old Ahmad as a future terrorist instead of letting him and his apparently quite fucking awesome parents into the country.

CLEARLY.

And I don't know if Clinton is taking the day off totally. She was ok then steve Harvey morning show and talked about the Tulsa shooting.

But it does make sense she's gearing up for the debates. One more rally and then just focus on that this weekend

gotta feel a little bad for them - they were the new hotness in the 80s and 90s and then around the 00s everyone stopped caring.

that'll never happen to the millenials though. we'll be around for at least a thousand years.
Click to expand...

Don't feel bad for us. It's not that "everyone stopped caring", it's that we stopped caring. It's fun to watch the Boomers and the Millenials go at each other at work, while I get my stuff done, go home, and forget about that place while I spend time with my family.

Rand Paul is all the crazy elements of his father rolled into the standard GOP platform whenever his father broke to the left (or at the very least away from standard conservative orthodoxy). He sucks.

I cut my foot and it got infected. So blatantly I must be able to infect other people right? Just by contact or going near them or whatever. It's an infection. That means you are contagious. I AM DOCTOR MAN.

Well, that's a new a one (for me at least):

Clinton and Obama created our failing policy towards North Korea... via Cory Gardner on MSNBC.

I also like how egocentric all this stuff is. It's Obama's fault for literally everything that's happening around the world.

Clinton Maintains Lead; Tight Race for Senate


Most skeptical of Trump birther statement

West Long Branch, NJ - Hillary Clinton holds a 5 point lead over Donald Trump in the crucial swing state of Florida. This is slightly less than the 9 point lead she held in a Monmouth University Poll of Sunshine State voters taken last month. Sen. Marco Rubio is currently locked in a tight race with his Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy, ahead by a statistically insignificant 2 points after leading by 5 in August. The poll also found that voters are skeptical of Trump's recent attempt to draw a line under the Pres. Obama birther controversy.

Among Florida voters likely to participate in November's presidential election, 46% currently support Clinton and 41% back Trump. Another 6% intend to vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 1% support Green Party candidate Jill Stein, with 5% who are undecided. This compares to Monmouth's August poll which had Clinton at 48%, Trump 39%, Johnson 6%, and Stein 1%.

"Yeah but Mark Udall talks too much about abortion. Should we even vote? It's a midterm election, everyone knows those don't count. I mean I know they literally sent us our ballots and all we have to do is mail them back but eh... I wonder what's on Netflix"

Hey, not bad at all! And Murphy's even still in it.
