  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Biden might be in trouble.

Tthey do bear upon the question of Trump's leadership or ability to function well as the chief executive..
Not really, but my point was that we can see in the choice of subject matter in both of these claims that nothing special is being claimed for Biden or his ability to govern. They both just go at the opponent, which is what a party has to do when its own candidate is weak.

No, the point, which I highlighted for you, concerned the following claim:

"...making sure woman and gays have no rights for the next 4-5 decades."

Nah, I’m sure Trump getting a whole 13% of the LGBT vote shows just how protected and loved by the Republican Party they really are. Just like how we keep hearing that Black voters really do secretly like Republicans despite almost never voting for them.

Not relevant to the issue, which was specifically about the claim that had been made.

So in four years of people on the left calling out people on the right's hypocrisy they not only failed to convince Trump supporters, but failed to convince themselves? It was just a political tool.

OK. At least now third party folks can call out both.
This woman's story has changed drastically over time. It's possible that her current story is accurate and it is possible that it has changed to reflect her own political circumstances.

With Donald, he admitted to grabbing women without their consent and he had I forget how many women over decades come forward to confirm that he did indeed grab them without their consent.

There's a slight difference.

No he doesn't - that is Donald's projection.

Projection is their favorite game. Trump accusing Hillary of being corrupt, the GOP accusing the Democrats of not caring about workers, now the whole sexual predator stuff. The sad thing is it works.

Interesting article about it here, although they don’t cover quite how long the GOP have actually been using this strategy.

Next I suppose I'm going to have to put it in colored font and enlarge the image. ;)

"making sure woman [sic] and gays have no rights" is NOT saying that conservative judges are likely to make rulings that are contrary to what liberals would prefer. What did the ridiculous smear add that was so essential to the point?

Biden has dementia

And that's a good reason why
he does not remember that event
with the young Lady.
Actually, he does not remember her
nor the year in which she worked for him.

But, he still does recognize his wife.

Aren’t Christians supposed to avoid slandering strangers, or is that just talk?

"At least he's not Hillary Clinton."





"I voted for the lesser of two evils."

"I voted for a President, not a pastor."

"Trump's sins are between him and God."

"Christians shouldn't judge Trump for his sins."

"I didn't vote for Trump because he was a choir boy."

"Trump's bragging about sexually groping women was locker room banter."

That was good for a few votes.

And now against Biden
should bring in more votes for Trump.

Because, the Country hasn't slipped that far away yet.

Nope! If you're going to argue the actions of one is wrong and should be addressed FINE. But if you're going to bypass a same alleged act of another then how is it that you're not being hypocritical and inconsistent? Sorry but that's what it is period.

It didn't seem to matter to you few posts back when you scorned my appeal for such a thing to be avoided.

The difference is between a candidate with a questionable accusation (recall how the Senate handled that ?) ... and another with numerous allegations with varying levels of credibility (he's been impeached ... and even Republican Senators had to admit to his misdealings) ... and failing leadership in the current Coronavirus crisis.

That's pretty black and white ...

I don't know if either man is guilty of what they say. I see NO evidence of a lesser degree of potential guilt or innocence between the two. I suggest your bias is merely creating that for you. And as for Trump's failed leadership with the Corona virus....how many even Dem governors have to tell you that the President gave and provided more than they asked. If you're going to nitpick every single detail and DEMAND absolute total perfection then you should consider could anyone have done things any better and not have made mistakes? Sorry but I hardly think so.

That's almost undeniable.

Yes, that seems to have been conveniently forgotten.

It's true, but once the decision has been made to denounce anything and everything that the President does, simply for partisan political reasons, this is the inevitable result.

Take, for example, the Democratic Congresswoman from Michigan who merely thanked the President for information that she believes was timely and accurate, leading to her recovery from the virus. In response, her party began talking about driving her out of office.

Do you think that Trump has lied about what he has done to women? Do you think he has lied about ogling naked teenage girls? Or do you just not consider that to be evidence?

Apparently, more governors than we have.
