I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh.
Anyway, seems as though you're looking at what I say and lumping it in with others with whom you have already decided to disagree. Shutting off your ears/eyes to spare your mind the potential cognitive dissonance. Or perhaps you're just tired of hashing the same stuff and you just want what you want and damned be any new evidence regarding it.
Nobody answered my genuine question yet though. How does one rationalize the campaign contributions for Hillary - is it unimportant? Is it possible that she'd have absolutely no interest to repay those who put her where she is?
I'm not a Sanders supporter anymore than I'm a Hillary opposer. I enjoy asking the questions and seeing what shakes out. I'm not a campaign volunteer, and I'm not trying to change any of your minds or belittle your views. If in the process of asking these questions your mind changes, fine. If not, well it wasn't going to anyway so there's no skin off my nuts.
So far, whenever I ask the questions about HRC's political history and her current and former financiers, the issue is dodged. (here and elsewhere) The answers given by her opposition when her supporters refuse to answer make her look awful. Silence can be damning. Yet still I ask, because I want to know both viewpoints.
Whenever I ask the question of Sanders political record and who has (and is) financing him, the answers are immediately apparent and in line with what everyone would expect of a genuine person acting from a sincere position. He believes what he believes and he's always working towards it in the same way. He avoids "owing" anyone anything that would be contrary to his goals. His only debt is to the people who agree with him.
I'd rather talk about the things Sanders wants to talk about. I don't want to listen to HRC talk about the things she claims are important because when she talks it feels so terribly disingenuous. On top of that, I'd personally be embarrassed to have HRC's history. Honestly I would. I am amazed at her ability to stand up on stage with all that baggage behind her. It's either immense strength, or willfull ignorance.
One thing's for sure - humans have always been plagued by an unwillingness (or inability) to consider the motivations and perspective of the people they stand opposed to. I refuse to accept disagreement from someone who won't engage the conversation. As far as I'm concerned, it is as though you never spoke, and I will continue asking the questions.
