The Convention of the States will be ignored the the media unless it gains some significant traction. Then it will be derided and attacked.

Its only hope is to go viral.

He once suggested a one-time wealth tax basically taking rich people's shit. The idea that he's in any way an actual conservative is cuckoo.

I didn't watch it, but who were the veterans who allied themselves with the Birther-in-Chief?

He just suggested that Clinton's Secret Service bodyguards "...should drop all weapons. They should disarm immediately." Followed by, "Take their guns away, let's see what happens to her."

It now looks like those "harsh attacks" that Blumenthal spread included birtherism. James Asher, former editor of McClatchy's DC bureau alleged Friday that Blumenthal had in fact directly brought the allegations to the newspaper chain in 2008 and asked them to investigate.

Blumenthal denied that he'd spread the rumor in an email to the Boston Globe. But later in the day, McClatchy itself made it clear that the charge has merit. In fact the chain sent a reporter to Kenya at Blumenthal's urging, to look into what he had to say "and that reporter determined that the allegation was false."

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe accused the Clinton campaign Monday of "shameful offensive fear-mongering" by circulating a photo as an attempted smear.
Plouffe was reacting to a banner headline on the Drudge Report saying that aides to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) had e-mailed a photo calling attention to the African roots of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.)....“On the very day that Senator Clinton is giving a speech about restoring respect for America in the world, her campaign has engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party in this election. This is part of a disturbing pattern that led her county chairs to resign in Iowa, her campaign chairman to resign in New Hampshire, and it’s exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties and diminishes respect for America in the world," said Plouffe.

Are you with Tim Kaine in thinking that Trump was inciting violence against Queen George or did you get the implication that he was making a 2nd amendment related dig at lib hypocrisy when it comes to gun protection?

The news media was in quite a froth this morning about this and the way he played them with the birtherism announcement. Should we call it the Sidney Blumenthal birtherism issue?

She never said said he wasn't American and born in the USA, fired whoever it was who said he was, and then didn't spend 5 years, thousands of tweets, and loud claims of "investigators in Hawaii finding all kinds of shit".

This issue for me is what made Trump fall into the "no fucking way" bucket from the get-go. Everything else just confirmed the stench.

Patti Solis Doyle, Clinton’s campaign manager during part of the 2008 race, told CNN on Friday that an Iowa campaign worker had passed on an email about the birther conspiracy and that Clinton quickly fired him.

Solis Doyle said she’d called Obama campaign official David Plouffe at the time “to apologize and basically say that this was not coming from us. It was a rogue volunteer coordinator.”

Phil Singer, Clinton’s 2008 campaign press secretary, said by email Friday: “The idea that the Hillary Clinton campaign had anything to do with spreading the birther issue has as much credibility as the birther issue itself: none. It didn’t happen.”

Meanwhile, former McClatchy Washington Bureau Chief James Asher tweeted Friday that Blumenthal had “told me in person” that Obama was born in Kenya.

I think that in a rally where the crowd is screaming "Lock her up!" and "Trump that Bitch!" that the implication Trump is making is "Let's see how tough she is without protection." It's the obscene level of anti-Clinton violent rhetoric that puts Trumps words into context for me.

I'm having the hardest time finding any of their commercials online. Can you post a YouTube video or something?

You frothing, libtard piece of shit Islamic dog,” the caller, identified only as “Alan,” is heard saying in the ad, while a transcript of his rant runs along the bottom of the screen. “Vote for the pathological lying criminal you fucking piece of shit … and get out of our country … while you’re at it, got back and get fucked by your dirtbag Islamic terror scum friends. Slut.

Are you going to be OK? Words can be frightening things, especially when chained together into "rhetoric."

You would be accurate in referring to them all as illegal drivers if that was your wont.

I remember someone protesting the reduced speed limit there by getting cars lined up line abreast and actually doing the speed limit. It gridlocked the network.

This analogy doesn't work. Presumably these drivers are licensed and insured. They may be engaged in something illegal but they are legally on the road. All they have to do to comply is slow down. If they are not legally there, they have to vacate the roadway. Likewise, illegal immigrants aren't legally in the country and just doing illegal labor. They have to leave the country to comply, not change jobs.

That said, most of what I've seen does suggest your last line is correct. This is largely beneficial to the country. The laws should reflect this. It should not be the case that the gov't is ignoring its own laws and its responsibilities. Hopefully this would relieve the intense financial burden on the border states. Tax the north and send the money this way.
