Weighing Priorities


Trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005 [More]
WaPo is in full eye-rolling feeding frenzy. And Hillary is shocked, shocked...

I guess everything is going to depend on how potential supporters balance their personal scales. I'm not going to try to make equivalency comparisons or excuses -- I'm sure there will be apologists doing that, but the truth is, even though some will dismiss it as "locker room guy talk," this is idiotic and shameful. And even though it has nothing to do with the crucial issues that distinguish the two platforms, it could prove fatal.

I'm not talking about the usual establishment RINO squish suspects jumping ship  -- I'd fully expect them to go into full, public "I know him not" mode. But there's one guy -- that if he leaves -- could blow this train right off the tracks.

Will Mike Pence stay the course or drop out?

Oh boy. Just in time to take the focus off the Wikileaks Podesta dump.

Boys will be boys. Not too many Republicans could run for president if all their conversations from decades ago were recorded and leaked. Democrats of course have special exemption to do or say anything or anyone.

And a lot of women talk nasty among themselves.

Hypocrites.

But it's not going to help

The only people making a big deal about this are the people who wear masks and lie for a living, and most of those were already not voting for Trump.

Who would you rather have for president: a guy who says “I did not have sex with that woman” but is lying his ass off because he did; or a guy who admits, “I sure wanted to have sex with that woman, and I would have if I could have” and you know he is telling the unvarnished truth?

Just remind the Democrats that when LBJ needed special rhetorical emphasis, he used to pull out his willy. Whadda paragon of couth.

I understand if no one agrees with this but I figured I'd say it. These progressive knobs have spent the last 3 decades cramming the need to separate government from religion/morality up our butts like a suppository. Funny how suddenly they're trying to get everyone to be disgusted by this... My question is, on what grounds? Without morality as a guide post then all Trump was doing was stringing together words. Men and women kiss and touch,etc... Without morality then who cares how it's accomplished? Maybe if Franklin Graham had made this point it would've meant something... But as it is, it's like mud telling us dirt is dirty.

“I am sickened by what I heard today. Women are to be championed and revered, not objectified.” - Paul Ryan ("R", Wisconsin)

"Who made you Pope of this dump?" - Rodney Dangerfield (Caddyshack)

"Boys will be boys... girls will be girls... Trump isn't running for Pope."

Bill or Hillary couldn't run for pope either, like the other hypocrites who feign righteous indignance over Trump's leaked private crude chatter.

Few "Rs" could run for pres if what they thought was every private, crude, but harmless "guy talk" was secretly taped & leaked. Dems have a special exemption.

Here's what righteously indignant Democrats, Hollywood "players", and prissy, faux-conservative NeverTrumps expect you to pretend to believe:

* People like Paul Ryan, Bill & Hill, MeGyn Kelly, Erick E. Erickson, George Will, Bill Kristol, ¡JEB!, Barney Frank, Glenn Beck, Jason Chaffets, Mike Lee, Mitt Romney, Queen Lindsey and her Royal Cabana Boy Marco Rubio, would NEVER dream of f***ing. They don't even have sex. They're far too pure. Some of them make love. Others are too pure even for that:

* Chelsea Clinton was by immaculate conception, as are the children of Mormon politicians and Hollywood "players".

* Bill & Hillary Clinton respect all women at all times.

* Every woman knows the following: No women EVER use foul language or say BAD things about men to each other when they don't think they're being recorded.

* Women champion and revere all men.

* No woman would EVER objectify a man.

* Megyn Kelly hates being objectified. That's why she goes on TV like a spray-painted escort with the outline of her nipples clearly showing.

* Any bubble boy without sin, who claims to be deeply deeply offended that Trump's private locker room talk was recorded and leaked, should cast a stone for Hillary by voting for Gary Johnson or not voting at all.

* Better a corrupt, treasonous, gun-grabbing, America-Last, socialist, unindicted woman gangster with an unindicted rapist-pedophile husband who had an intern perform "oral-anal contact" on him in the Oval Office -- but neither of whom as far as you know ever said a dirty word on tape -- than a blunt America-First alpha-male who got "caught" (secretly recorded) saying something crude in private.

Why, the choice is obvious!

There haven't been so many sin free saints since Jesus Christ.

I'm actually hoping that Trump is the modern day version of the Old testament character, Jehu. Anointed to be King over Israel, his first act was to depose Jezebel by having her staff throw her out of a window. Then dogs ate her. Figuratively speaking, I'd like to see that. One of her own staff giving her up and the lickspittle press tearing her to pieces. Well, enough happy thoughts for today.

Eric, it might happen down the road. If she gets to be Capt. of the 21st century Titanic and the economy goes south her paramours will turn on her. Or there could be another 9/11 only worse than 2001.
