    The Obamas are the epitome of hypocrisy.

    Remember how pally they were with Ted Kennedy?

    Remeber Chappaquiddick?

    THe MSM should ask Ms Obama for a comment on that sordid affair, just
    to put things in perspective. Not only that, but perhaps they could
    also shed a little more light on some of Bill and Hillary's unsavoury
    past, for the sake of balance.

    They won't of course. The traditional media are very biased in favour
    of the Democrat Party. I don't hope so much that Trump wins, I just
    want Clinton to lose. She is as corrupt as it gets, and should have
    been indicted by the FBI under the espionage act.

    Bill.

    I wouldn't be suprised if she has a crack at POTUS next time around.
    She'd drag in the votes.

    Remeber Chappaquiddick?

    It is double standards for Michelle Obama to display phony outrage
    over something that Donald Trump said 11 years ago, when it is well
    known that the Obamas were friends and admirers of the sleazy and
    cowardly Ted Kennedy.

    THe MSM should ask Ms Obama for a comment on that sordid affair, just
    to put things in perspective. Not only that, but perhaps they could
    also shed a little more light on some of Bill and Hillary's unsavoury
    past, for the sake of balance.

    Like what?

    Hillary Clinton boasted about a man she defended who was convicted of
    the rape of a 12 year old girl, and after plea bargaining saw him
    sentenced to time served; a total of two months. She laughingly stated
    that she knew he was guilty, and that she had no faith in the
    polygraph test she had him take, but which she subsequently used as
    part of his defence.

    Bill Clinton lost his license to practise law for five years and paid
    Paula Jones $850,000 in an out of court settlement in preference to
    facing further questions under oath during his impeachment trial. Bill
    Clinton is a sleaze of the most high order. Trump is a gentleman when
    compared with either of the Clintons.

    See the liar squirm.

    They won't of course. The traditional media are very biased in favour
    of the Democrat Party.
    Yes some are but not all.

    By far the majority of the mainstream meda are mouthpieces for leftism
    and the politicians who define it. Fox would likely be the only
    noteworthy exception, not that Fox is any flag bearer for
    conservatism. If they were, they would have been a lot more balanced
    towards Ted Cruz during the run for the Republican nomination. Fox has
    now become the Trump channel, with the rest of the media batting for
    Clinton.

    If any Republican secratary of state were the subject of a select
    committee hearing, and had put on a performance like Ms Clinton's,
    some of the the proceedings would have been megaphoned incessantly
    across the mainstream media all the way up to the election. Not only
    that, but the mainstream media would have been screaming bias and
    corruption over the the failure of the FBI to charge the secratary of
    state under the espionage act under similar circumstances.

    I don't hope so much that Trump wins, I just
    want Clinton to lose. She is as corrupt as it gets, and should have
    been indicted by the FBI under the espionage act.

    Sounds like a hater of the US political left

    I have nothing but contempt for the left irrespective of where they
    operate. I make no apology for that. Leftist agenda is based on false
    promises, outright lies, theft and corruption. Trump is a buffoon, I
    get that. However, if given a choice between a buffoon, and a liar and criminal, I'll take the buffoon for no other reason than to keep the
    lying crook out of the Oval Office. Trump, for all his faults, is not
    a cultural Marxist like the Clintons and the Obamas, and some of his
    policies (not all) make sense. He is also new to politics and has some potential to learn and improve. Clinton, on the other hand, is
    entrenched. She will never change. She is as corrupt now as she ever
    was, and will be worse if she makes it to the White House.

    (which is not at all very left >wing) rather than the Democratic party.

    If you believe that then you have not been paying attention,
    preferring instead to glean information from the mainstream media
    which you are currently parroting.

    Bill.

    Whch makes you probably a classic centrist :— https://www.politicalcompass.org/nz2014

    From what you say you are probably somewhere in the region of NZ First

    Mana too far left. The Green party may be too libertarian for you.

    Tony

    If you read what I said I did not say or imply that you did have any
    party policitcal affiliation. The majority of people in Nw Zealand do
    not have a party olitical affiliation, and indeed most will agree with
    some policies of most parties at different times, but that in no way
    makes them affiliated or even a supporter. You were able to express a preference for Clinton over Trump, but that does not mean you have an affiliation fro the Democrats, or that you may not at other times
    prefer a republican candidate. But many people do have some attitudes
    towards political issues that tend to run along consistent lines - you
    have said that you reject the extremes, which as far as parties in NZ
    would indicate the Mana party and ACT, although individuals within
    parties or outside any party may well have views that are considerable
    more extreme. All I am saying is that a person that generally finds
    themselves taking a centrist view is probably closer to Labour than
    National. but on a different axis possibly close to NZ First or the
    Green party - with Labour neing marginally right of centre, NZ First
    slightly left, and Maori closest to the centre.

    So no you do not have to have a political affiliation, and I
    understand and accept that you do not, but that does not mean that you
    cannot have preferences in relation to policies and underlying
    principles followed by different parties, and by avoiding the extremes
    you may feel more comfortable with policies close to the centre on a
    political spectrum.
    Understand now?

    Yes some are but not all.

    By far the majority of the mainstream meda are mouthpieces for leftism

    If any Republican secratary of state were the subject of a select

    some of the the proceedings would have been megaphoned incessantly

    that, but the mainstream media would have been screaming bias and
    corruption over the the failure of the FBI to charge the secratary of
    state under the espionage act under similar circumstances.

    I don't hope so much that Trump wins, I just

    Tony

    If you read what I said I did not say or imply that you did have any
    party policitcal affiliation. The majority of people in Nw Zealand do
    not have a party olitical affiliation, and indeed most will agree with
    some policies of most parties at different times, but that in no way
    makes them affiliated or even a supporter. You were able to express a
    preference for Clinton over Trump, but that does not mean you have an
    affiliation fro the Democrats, or that you may not at other times
    prefer a republican candidate. But many people do have some attitudes
    towards political issues that tend to run along consistent lines - you
    have said that you reject the extremes, which as far as parties in NZ
    would indicate the Mana party and ACT, although individuals within
    parties or outside any party may well have views that are considerable
    more extreme. All I am saying is that a person that generally finds
    themselves taking a centrist view is probably closer to Labour than
    National. but on a different axis possibly close to NZ First or the
    Green party - with Labour neing marginally right of centre, NZ First
    slightly left, and Maori closest to the centre.
    That is bullshit and not worth the time it took you to scribble it.

    So no you do not have to have a political affiliation, and I
    understand and accept that you do not, but that does not mean that you
    cannot have preferences in relation to policies and underlying
    principles followed by different parties, and by avoiding the extremes
    you may feel more comfortable with policies close to the centre on a
    political spectrum.
    Understand now?
    I do not have affiliations, preferences or any political views of any kind so
    now do you undertsand.

    Tony

    Now you are being silly. Of course you have political preferences -
    you expressed a preference for Clinton over Trump for example on well reasoned political grounds.

    Once again your lack of comprehension skills lets you down Rich. Not
    everyone is as politically brainwashed as you. hell even my current
    antipathy towards Labour is because of it's retreat even further to the
    left than I consider acceptable for a possible government (though
    thankfully due to liddle Andy's own stupidity not next year) of New Zealand.

    The Obamas are the epitome of hypocrisy.

    Remember how pally they were with Ted Kennedy?
    So what? I know someone who was friends with the Muldoon family but he
    is norhing like Muldood.

    Remeber Chappaquiddick?
    Which has exactly what to do with the Obama's?

    It is double standards for Michelle Obama to display phony outrage over something that Donald Trump said 11 years ago, when it is well known
    that the Obamas were friends and admirers of the sleazy and cowardly Ted Kennedy.

    THe MSM should ask Ms Obama for a comment on that sordid affair, just
    to put things in perspective. Not only that, but perhaps they could
    also shed a little more light on some of Bill and Hillary's unsavoury >>>past, for the sake of balance.

    Like what?

    Hillary Clinton boasted about a man she defended who was convicted of
    the rape of a 12 year old girl, and after plea bargaining saw him
    sentenced to time served; a total of two months. She laughingly stated
    that she knew he was guilty, and that she had no faith in the polygraph
    test she had him take, but which she subsequently used as part of his defence.

    Bill Clinton lost his license to practise law for five years and paid
    Paula Jones $850,000 in an out of court settlement in preference to
    facing further questions under oath during his impeachment trial. Bill Clinton is a sleaze of the most high order. Trump is a gentleman when compared with either of the Clintons.

    See the liar squirm.

    They won't of course. The traditional media are very biased in favour
    of the Democrat Party.
    Yes some are but not all.

    By far the majority of the mainstream meda are mouthpieces for leftism
    and the politicians who define it. Fox would likely be the only
    noteworthy exception, not that Fox is any flag bearer for conservatism.
    If they were, they would have been a lot more balanced towards Ted Cruz during the run for the Republican nomination. Fox has now become the
    Trump channel, with the rest of the media batting for Clinton.

    If any Republican secratary of state were the subject of a select
    committee hearing, and had put on a performance like Ms Clinton's, some
    of the the proceedings would have been megaphoned incessantly across the mainstream media all the way up to the election. Not only that, but the mainstream media would have been screaming bias and corruption over the
    the failure of the FBI to charge the secratary of state under the
    espionage act under similar circumstances.

    I don't hope so much that Trump wins, I just
    want Clinton to lose. She is as corrupt as it gets, and should have
    been indicted by the FBI under the espionage act.

    Sounds like a hater of the US political left

    I have nothing but contempt for the left irrespective of where they
    operate. I make no apology for that. Leftist agenda is based on false promises, outright lies, theft and corruption. Trump is a buffoon, I get that. However, if given a choice between a buffoon, and a liar and
    criminal, I'll take the buffoon for no other reason than to keep the
    lying crook out of the Oval Office. Trump, for all his faults, is not a cultural Marxist like the Clintons and the Obamas, and some of his
    policies (not all) make sense. He is also new to politics and has some potential to learn and improve. Clinton, on the other hand, is
    entrenched. She will never change. She is as corrupt now as she ever
    was, and will be worse if she makes it to the White House.

    (which is not at all very left >wing) rather than the Democratic party.

    If you believe that then you have not been paying attention, preferring instead to glean information from the mainstream media which you are currently parroting.

    Bill.

    Aw, c'mon. All politicians lie, at least in having to choose between
    public positions and private positions. Politics is unavoidably about
    marrying together opinions that differ and, not infrequently, are
    downright incompatible. So of course they fib - they have to by
    definition. And that's also why Rich's continued appeal to "reasoned
    argument" is at least unrealistic, and probably irrelevant.

    So, going back to the US Presidential elections, one American commentator
    got it exactly right when he observed that "dishonest trumps crazy any
    time". Also, to the extent that dishonesty is predictable and craziness
    isn't, I know which of those hands I'd prefer to have hovering over the
    nuclear trigger.

    I have nothing but contempt for the left irrespective of where they

    Sure. We may laugh, or be mystified, or criticize, or not understand,
    or deplore (or all of these and more) that a nation of such power and
    such enlightenment in all manner of things can end up with the final
    choice being no better than between dishonest or crazy. But that's
    what has happened. Making the choice is a responsibility that the
    American people must accept, with the reality that rest of us will have
    to make the best of the result. So, that being so, and distasteful
    though it may be, I believe there's nothing more to say than that
    dishonest is to be preferred over crazy.

    In that nearly all presidents have professed a belief in magic and superstitious nonsense, I'd say crazy is par for the course.

    I conclude, then, that you have no answer ..... or at least, no sensible answer.

    By far the majority of the mainstream meda are mouthpieces for leftism

    Talking of double stanhdards!
    Tony

    People sometimes start to take notice of things they had previously
    been ignoring and change their minds as a result. Everyone has done
    that at some time. I don't have too much of a problem with that.

    There is a difference between that, and being a friend and admirer of
    a sleaze and coward feigning outrage at some glib, locker room comment
    made by Trump over a decade ago. Now, Hillary Clinton who is,
    according to Obama, the most qualified person in history to be
    president, is known to have joked about her defence of a man for the
    rape of a 12 year old, essentially saying that she knew in advance
    that he was guilty and that she didn't believe the evidence she
    employed in his defence. Any person of integrity would have felt
    somewhat tacky after doing a job like that and would not have been so cock-a-hoop about it.

    I am not defending Trump in any way for his comments. I merely point
    out the hypocrisy of Michelle Obama, Clinton, and the lengths to which
    the partisan media will go, and the depths of trash into which they
    will burrow into in order to get their candidate elected.

    So if a less than exemplary past was enough to disqualify someone from
    being president, then neither Trump nor Clinton would be eligible.

    What about Clinton's open borders policy, her contempt for the rule of
    law and the constitution, her job killing tax policy and the intent to
    further expand the federal bureaucracy and the debt?

    Does any of that matter?

    You started the thread about Trump's locker room comments. Why does

    Leaving all that aside, Hillary Clinton is for open borders, high

    I think the best election outcome would be for Hillary to win, then get impeached and tossed out, and then have a new election. Second time around I would hope the Dems and GOP would have wised up a little.

    I don't have a solution for this. Clinton would be risky, Trump would be a tragedy.

    You started the thread about Trump's locker room comments. Why does
    that matter, but the Clintons' grubby past not matter?
    I did nothing of the sort. I started the thread by pointing out what I believed
    to be a poignant and accurate address by Michelle Obama.
    The past of both matters and I have said nothing to contradict that.

    So who is the pugnacious sexist elitist?

    Look, trump is not the ideal candidate and I am no special pleader for
    Trump. He may be one to not let the truth get the better of him, but
    Clinton is a compulsive liar. I've watched the congressional
    subcommittee hearings. Putting Clinton in the Oval Office would be
    like having Rich80105 as President of the United States.

    And I do not believe the mainstream media are working agaoinst Trump, that is a
    bow too far.

    I disagree. If any Republican Secretary of State were found to be as
    careless (or worse) with classified information as Clinton has been,
    and admits to, the MSM would be repeating the story over and over
    again all the way to November the 8th and howling for the FBI to
    prosecute.

    His relationship with Russia is ignored by those that are blind to the obvious.

    What relationship with Russia? Even CNN isn't running that one. The
    FBI has turned up nothing. Clinton supporters are fishing.

    No, I don't give a damn about why he has the relationship but he has lied when >he says he has no relationship - in the eyes of some Americans that is >tantamount to treason - if he became President it would be an impeachment >issue.

    Great. Let's hope Trump is impeached. That way Mike Pence becomes
    president. Pence would be a far better candidate than either of the
    current pick, or Tim Kaine or Gary Johnson.

    He is simply too dangerous to be put in the job.

    That same nonsense was trotted out by the liberals during both Ronald
    Reagan's campaigns.

    Clinton publicly burped up how much time it takes for a nuclear weapon
    to be launched after the order is given. No surprises there, given
    Clinton's cavalier attitude to national security.

    And I do not support Clinton either, I am more opposed to Trump than I am to >her - it really is that simple for me.

    Then you would prefer 1.3 trillion in new taxes to tax cuts.
    You would prefer open borders to border control.
    You would prefer government controlled education to freedom of choice.
    You would prefer Obamacare over freedom to choose.
    You would prefer a militarily weak America to a strong America.
    You would prefer a president who intends to appoint activist judges to
    one who favours originalists.
    You would prefer the candidate who has the least respect for the
    constitution.
    You would prefer a candidate who consistently puts politics before
    economics to one who has at least some sense of fiscal responsibility.

    accept immigrants from any country?

    repeal Obamacare,

    Good idea. Obamacare was launched from a platform of lies and
    deception. It's not just Trump who was saying this, it was Ted Cruz
    and Mike Pence, both of whom would have made great presidents.

    Hate to break it to you but there is a wall between the US and Mexico.
    And if you're ever in the area (within 50 miles of the border) there's
    every chance you'll get pulled over and every-one in your car questioned

    Nope - there are sections of fence though. Been there and seen it.

    Naturally. What's that got to do with this wall idea?

    There is a big difference between some fences built around certain points and a 1500 mile wall.

    The cost of the wall has been estimated at between 12 and 25 billion dollars.

    Illegal immigration into the US has been declining since 2000.

    Such a wall would have many horrible environmental and ecological effects.

    Trump's wall is pure stupidity. It is completely and abjectly absurd. It's as well thought out as the rest of Trump's campaign which is as thin as the bumper
    stickers it is expressed through.

    Sigh.
    The fact is that there is an existing wall/fence on the US/Mexican border.
    And there is a border protection zone rigorously policed by the US

    That is misleading. There are many existing fences. It is nothing like the scale of the proposed wall.

    And there is a border protection zone rigorously policed by the US

    Great. No need to waste $12-$25 billion on an idiotic white elephant then.

    Well Mexico may well want to build said wall - but not because Trump
    demands it but because they want to keep all those American illegal
    immigrants out...........
