  • 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.

You did at first, but then you spoiled it.

Aside from that can it be said Harris is at least half truthful? What about what she's half truthful and untruthful about? How important are those issues?
If you're interested in being accurate, she's more truthful than not.

So it isn't half.

-- A2SG, do the math, if you're so inclined...

Not really. Every president from George Washington on up, has lied at one time or another. The job doesn't require a dictate of total and complete honesty at all times.

If it did, the job would be unfillable.

But, if truth telling is an a important criteria for you in choosing a candidate, then comparing the candidates would seem to be significant.

Wanna do that?

Do you rate mostly and half truthful as truly truthful?
I didn't create the categories, nor have I decided what comments fell into each.

So truthfulness isn't particularly relevant since none of the others are truthful?

No one is 100% truthful.

If truthfulness is important to you, and you were the one to bring it up, then comparing truths to lies, as well as comparing the various candidates based on that criteria would be germane.

I simply noticed you didn't do that, so I helped.

-- A2SG, you're welcome...

Are you saying you don't really have anything to contribute to this topic?
Nope.

I contributed what I contributed. You can place whatever weight on that contribution you wish.

-- A2SG, not that there was much to weigh to begin with....

The more important questions are: 1. Were your groceries cheaper under Trump? YES 2. Were there less wars and world tensions under Trump? YES 3. Were there less illegal border crossings under Trump? YES Keeping a score card on lies when they all have a problem in that area is pointless. The list is even longer on the things better under Trump, but this unnatural hatred for Trump has blinded the vision of many.

While I like and agree with your post, I thought maybe there could be a discussion that's just about Harris.

4. Were there more or fewer attempts to steal an election the incumbent lost under Trump?

Many voters are re-prioritizing this one higher, given that candidate Trump doesn't actually have plans for the questions in the post I quoted while he certainly did for the question I added.

The "fake electors" scheme that Trump and his allies attempted in several states was a plot to steal the election pure and simple.

You must have imagined a lot, because fight like hell is not a literal call to violence anymore when Trump says it or liberals say it. Hopefully one day all the facts will come out about Jan 6 . I assure you there is much more to the story than currently reported by the msm . If you doubt what I say tell us all you know about the bomb found at the DNC where Kamala was on Jan 6.

No it actually is not revisionism it is about facts which you obviously have no knowledge.

I didn’t get information from Alex Jones or anyone a reasonable person could call an idiot. Now I will again ask you to tell us what you know about the pipe bomb found outside the DNC. It’s ok if you know nothing about this since the msm has suppressed or in most cases avoided this story.
