RE: Are There Any Republicunts Who Aren't Crooks?

My dad was convinced to have a kid because of a Republican (no, it's not what you're thinking  ) and my legal guardian (in case something happens to my parents) is also a Republican... I'd say both of them are really nice people who have their heads screwed on well. Then again, they're not politicians, so not really the answer you're looking for, but hey, just responding to the thread title here. 
The word bed actually looks like a bed.

Are they "nice people" who would vote for a corrupt piece of shit because he has an R after his name?
You see, that impacts the "nice" part.

Vet groups being in favor of trying out a treatment is not the same as an elected official steering federal treatment options to their own business interests. He's not on our side..he's on his wallet's side, lol.
Got proof that $$ is his motivation?
Could be that he wants to help vets, who want to try a new therapy.
I don't know. I suspect you don't either. You hating the guy' s political party doesn't make him guilty of something.
The simple act itself puts him under suspicion due to the relevant federal code. That's why we have it in the first place..it's a thing that politicians do regardless of their party affiliation. Am I a cynic? Sure. My cynicism is wholly bipartisan, however, lol. You tell me some official is steering a process towards their bank account, I'm going to be hard pressed to imagine that they're doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.
Regardless, can you see why your analogy failed? There is a law against doing what it very much looks like this guy is doing. There is not a law against vets wanting to try out some treatment. Additionally, an official has leverage over process that a vet group simply doesn't. The cases aren't even remotely equivalent...and because of this..what may be true of one, given x...is not necessarily true of the other, given x.

Of course not. It is his belonging to his political party that makes him guilty of something.

Speaking of which, get a load of this cunt.
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/10/gop-sch...l-assault/
Quote:GOP school board member busted for Facebook plot to accuse the 2020 Dem presidential nominee of sexual assault
Quote:Two groups have called for the immediate resignation of a South Carolina Republican school board member for writing on Facebook that she intends to falsely accuse the eventual 2020 Democratic presidential nominee of sexually assaulting her.
According to WBTW, Horry County School board member Sherrie Todd, a Republican, took to Facebook to comment on sexual assault accusations levied against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh by stating she planned to make a false accusation against a Democrat.
Todd wrote, “I’ve already decided that whoever wins the Democrat nomination in 2020 sexually assaulted me 40 years ago.”
Scum-sucking pigs....from the top to the bottom.

You mean still living?
Because Nixon wasn't a crook.
We know that because he said so.

Nixon wasn't a crook only in comparison to the WLB.

The "everything is politics" bit is just another avenue for alternative facts and a post fact american process.
