Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

That's cause most people still believe in trickle down, and Donald Trump is gonna create more jobs as president.
CLUE: The government doesn't create jobs.

Ask me, ask me. I'm just going to quote one without being asked. " To be or not to be, that is the question" How did I do Cobbler?

Serial child molester and former House Speaker Dennis Hastert begged for leniency before he was sentenced for covering up decades of sexual abuse — but he urged harsh punishment for other offenders like himself more than a decade ago, when he was still a lawmaker.

Hastert was sentenced Wednesday to 15 months in federal prison, followed by two years of supervised release and sex offender treatment, for breaking federal banking rules related to the cover-up.

The longtime Republican lawmaker supported the Child Abuse Prevention and Enforcement Act of 2000 and called for stiffer penalties for sex offenders before his own pattern of abuse was revealed, reported the Chicago Tribune.

“It is important to have a national notification system to help safely recover children kidnapped by child predators,” Hastert said in 2003, after Utah teenager Elizabeth Smart was recovered after a nine-month ordeal of kidnapping and abuse.

“But it is equally important to stop those predators before they strike, to put repeat child molesters into jail for the rest of their lives and to help law enforcement with the tools they need to get the job done,” Hastert said at the time.

The former GOP lawmaker also spoke out against President Bill Clinton’s private conduct during the impeachment proceedings, saying he had abused and violated the public trust.

Hastert pleaded guilty to structuring, or withdrawing large amounts of money in small amounts to avoid detection and then using the cash to pay off one of his victims.

One of his victims, 53-year-old Scott Cross, described during the sentencing hearing how Hastert, his former wrestling coach, had molested him at 17.

Hastert asked the man’s brother—who was his former political protege, Tom Cross—to write a letter of support in hopes of receiving a lighter sentence.

But Cross, the former longtime Illinois House GOP leader, reportedly ignored the request and supported his brother.

“We are very proud of Scott for having the courage to relive this very painful part of his life in order to ensure that justice is done today,” Tom Cross said in a statement. “We hope his testimony will provide courage and strength to other victims of other cases of abuse to speak out and advocate for themselves.

U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Durkin described Hastert as a serial sex abuser and handed down a sentence longer than the zero to six months that federal prosecutors had recommended.

Prosecutors criticized Hastert’s “stunning hypocrisy” for achieving success while his victims struggled, and continued to struggle, with the effects of his abuse.

If you admit that govt doesn't create jobs, then why do you look to the govt to create jobs programs?

Should be a lesson for people to stop using the government to get into private personal business. What an embarrassment.

thanks for the response..

these folks do differ and you know that, but I get getting confused.

Context?

Does it matter?

Well, yes it does. Was this for Halloween? Was it an ironic statement? Was it for effect? I have a "Nixon's the One" bumper sticker on my '73 Jensen Healey bumper purely for shits and giggles. I'd wear that tee or one for Cruz on Jan 20, 2017 when either Hillary or Bernie is sworn just to gig RW idiots. Course I'd tie, reduce and over dye it first. But that's just me.

If that picture signifies anything at all, this one means more, right?

Q: Did Hillary Clinton work for Goldwater?

A: She was a high-school Young Republican and "Goldwater Girl" in 1964 but swung to supporting Democrat Eugene McCarthy’s campaign in 1968 and George McGovern’s in 1972.

Hillary Clinton ("Living History," page 21): I was also an active Young Republican and, later, a Goldwater girl, right down to my cowgirl outfit and straw cowboy hat emblazoned with the slogan "AuH20." … I liked Senator Goldwater because he was a rugged individualist who swam against the political tide.

SCOTT SIMON, HOST:

There's a clip of a Hillary Clinton interview making the rounds on the Internet. Let's hear.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED BROADCAST)

SIMON: I mean, did you ever, back in the '60s, between when, I believe, you were Goldwater Girl and...

HILLARY CLINTON: That's right.

SIMON: ...Whatever you became politically?

CLINTON: That's right. And I feel like my political beliefs are rooted in the conservatism that I was raised with.

SIMON: Hey, I know that interviewer. Hillary Clinton was in the White House, married to President Clinton and promoting her book, "It Takes A Village." That clip's gaining renewed attention because, of course, Barry Goldwater was a Republican known as Mr. Conservative. The Internet is abuzz with people who charge this exchange demonstrates something about Hillary Clinton. NPR's Tamara Keith is covering the entire 2016 presidential campaign. She heard the entire interview this week - bless her - joins us in the studios. Thanks, Tam, that must have been painful.
