A Congressman was recently at my house for a fundraiser. An audience question directed him toward the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, and whether the Congressman would be supporting him. The questioner brought up some statements he found distasteful by Trump. After the Congressman answered the question and we wrapped up the program, I approached the Congressman and asked if he thought any of his colleagues who are Democrats were being queried on their support for Hillary Clinton. The answer is no, because Democrats have no shame.
George Will has decided to abandon the party of which he was a member for 52 years. Though I don’t agree with his rationale, he took a stand because he disagrees with the stances of the Republican nominee. Though he may disagree with Trump on more than a few issues, he disagrees with Clinton on virtually every issue. But it isn’t just issues as much with Clinton as it is her moral standing. Do you see any Democrats leaving their party over their soon-to-be nominee? No, because Democrats have no shame.
Ms. Clinton met the parents of the Benghazi dead on the tarmac. She lied to the faces of those parents, telling them that the cause of the slaughter of their children was an internet video by an obscure individual. She did that despite telling her own daughter the night before it was an organized terrorist attack. But President Obama and her team developed a storyline two months before an election. Clinton carried it out. No Democrat called her on it. No one called out Susan Rice for perpetuating that obvious lie on Sunday morning. She received a promotion. Where are the Democrats protesting the sleazy handling of the death of four Americans and the inept management of the terrorist attack? Democrats, have you no shame?
Hillary Clinton set up her own email operation separate of the State Dept. and against government policy. No one she worked with ever questioned her use of a private email address for critical government information, much of which was top secret. The use of this email address did not come to light until a Congressional committee finally received long-withheld documents two years after she left office. Clinton dumped emails and has been caught in lies about what was in the emails, whether she transferred all relevant emails, and the security of those emails. In fact, her private server caused the State Dept. to shut down their own security procedures because they could not interface with Clinton’s bathroom server.
No Democrat stood up and questioned her abhorrent behavior. No one called her out. In fact, her principal opponent in the Democratic primaries told the world we were “Sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.” Then more lies and revelations came out. But no one called Clinton out whether she was risking national security or not. Democrats, have you no shame?
Clinton and her husband set-up a foundation. While she was Secretary of State the foundation took in millions of dollars from questionable foreign governments who wanted to curry favor with the Secretary of State. Clinton’s husband went out and made speeches for which he was paid fees in amounts that some Americans will not earn in their lifetime. In fact, his fees were raised during the period of time she became Secretary of State. Many of the speeches for which he was ridiculously compensated were for operations that wanted to curry favor with the Secretary of State. Once Clinton’s term was up, she went out and gave about 60 speeches at insanely high fees -- not to mention the laundry list of expensive conditions like designated private planes and special hotel rooms. Has no one told these people that the appearance of impropriety is the same as impropriety? Or how about this: it stinks like a three-day-old fish.
Yet no Democrats called her out for this clearly dubious behavior. Commentator David Gergen after a recent Trump speech bringing her morals into question stated that no quid pro quo has been proven. That is the way it always is with the Clintons – do something that stinks to high-heaven, looks tawdry, lowers the body politic, and then say “well there are no crimes here.” Democrats, have you no shame?
Attorney General Loretta Lynch during the criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton meets with her husband Bill Clinton. I was taught on day one of working for CPA firm that the appearance of a conflict of interest is the same as a conflict of interest. Yet our attorney general held the meeting anyway. Analysts laughed about how someone could tell a past-president no, especially Bill Clinton. It is easy tell your staff “What is he, crazy? Tell him I cannot be in the same room with him -- I should not even be in the same zip code. Under no condition is he allowed on this plane.” When the hidden meeting became public, all people with a modicum of decency questioned what she did. Where were the Democrats?
The Wall Street Journal trumpeted bipartisan criticism. But the only criticism I could find by a Democrat (and was quoted by the WSJ) was from former Obama advisor, David Axelrod. His “strong” condemnation of the meeting amounted to stating “But foolish to create such optics.”
Ms. Lynch in the aftermath of the meeting stated she was not changing her behavior and that she was always going to accept the recommendation of the FBI on charges against Clinton. Additionally, Clinton brazenly compounds the matter by stating she may keep Lynch on as Attorney General once Clinton captures the presidency.
Lynch should have stepped aside from the case instead of saying it was painful for her. Instead she said she “fully expected to the accept the recommendations.” What does that mean? That has the same value as when I would say I fully expect to eat this carton of ice cream and not put on any weight.
Why would she do such a thing when her boss, Barack Obama, endorsed the person under criminal investigation? Because the former “law professor” does not seem to understand that the appearance of conflict of interest is the same as conflict of interest. He flies Clinton on Air Force One to campaign with her. Democrats, have you no shame?
FBI Director James Comey tells the world Clinton lied about her server. Ding. He tells the world she lied about her smartphones. Ding, Ding. She lied about turning over all her work emails. Ding, Ding, Ding. She lied about sending classified emails. Ding, Ding, Ding Ding. She lied about knowing she was not hacked. Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding. She lied about whether emails not marked classified should have been considered as such. Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding.
But as the alarm bells were ringing a deafening sound and the sirens were roaring, did one Democrat stand up and say I have had enough of her lies and her reckless behavior? NO. Democrats, have you no shame?
When the Democrats meet for their national convention, they are about to nominate a woman characterized in 1996 by William Safire of the New York Times as a Congenital Liar. This woman has been swirling in controversy for the past two decades. She was judged by the head of the FBI for being extremely careless which was a tortured attempt to not use the legal definition – gross negligence. She has pocketed millions from major corporations and foreign governments and denied any conflict of interest.
Will there be any protests about her? Will there be any Democrats stating they cannot be there because of her? Will anyone question any of the actions of Clinton?
For a couple months Democrats have asked me what am I doing about Trump. They don’t even blink at the irony of that question. I ask them what are you going to do about Hillary.
Democrats, have you no shame?
The inventor of auto-correct has died.
May he restaurant in peace.
Damn aut-correct
May he restore in peace
DAMMIT. I give up.
The answer is “Yes, Democrats have no shame.”
America's First President, George Washington's Farewell Address provided an ominous warning of the dangers which result from the combination of what he called "the Spirit of Party" and a "cunning," "ambitious," "unprincipled," "artful and enterprising" person. The Democrat Party is now exhibiting that destructive-to-liberty "Spirit" in its allegiance to the Clintons:
“All obstructions to the execution of the Laws, all combinations and Associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the Constituted authorities are destructive of this fundamental principle and of fatal tendency. They serve to Organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force — to put in the place of the delegated will of the Nation, the will of a party; often a small but artful and enterprizing minority of the Community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public Administration the Mirror of the ill concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the Organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common councils and modified by mutual interests. However combinations or Associations of the above description may now & then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the Power of the People, & to usurp for themselves the reins of Government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.====== “This Spirit, unfortunately, is inseperable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human Mind. It exists under different shapes in all Governments, more or less stifled, controuled, or repressed; but in those of the popular form it is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy.

"he disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty."
“It serves always to distract the Public Councils and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill founded Jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot & insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence & corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country, are subjected to the policy and will of another. - Excerpted portions of George Washington's "Farewell Address."
Longer answer: Hell no.
"Ceterum censeo Hillary esse delendam."
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

I thought you were making up a new malady, LOL.
We're not all guilty. Everybody does not all do it. And only a rat would invoke the blood of patriots so casually and mockingly. Leading a life of integrity is where it starts - first of all, it prevents mocking the blood of patriots. It also invokes the Grace of God.
Take a shower, you stink.
Short answer - NO.
Long answer - to have shame, you must have a conscience and a moral code, neither of which a modern Democrat possesses.
Democrats of today hate God, sacrifice the unborn, lie with a straight face, hate America and will walk on broken glass to vote for SWMNBN, the embodiment of all that is evil in this world.
one has to have rational moral principles in the first place to make objective judgments of others
Short answer: NO
Long answer: Hell NO!
BTTT
Shame? The only shame a Democrat feels comes from letting a chump keep his money.
240 years was not a bad run. many other systems lasted longer. Kinda like a big star burning out. When the US goes everybody look out and cover your a@@.
Keyboard on, coward.
I have no idea what that means, but since you're posting about patriot blood to mock conservatives and the rule of law, you really don't matter anyway.
Well, apparently the Democrats HAVE consciencephalitis.
As long as the media “helps” the swing voters see the Democratic side of things, there’s no incentive for them to have any shame.
