“Code Pink supports Trump’s viewpoints on this subject, and have publicly said so. When they praise a candidate for his views on something as important to me as this, it makes me seriously consider whether I can support a candidate,”
So if group A that you don’t like agree with Candidate B statement on anything....then that means you don’t vote for candidate B?
With all due respect, that isn’t even logical. That’s like having Harry Reid support pro gun bills and you becoming anti 2nd amendment because something must be wrong with guns because he agrees with you.
Or when some neo nazi group “endorses” the Republican candidate and that makes them neo nazis by extension.
It isn’t a blanket statement for all people, all groups, and all subjects, and I think you know it, so why don’t we stick to this one statement I have a particular issue with, if possible.
The group is Code Pink (including them in the same post as the word “logic” is problematic) who I have had much closer interaction with than perhaps you have, and it is on this specific issue that I concentrate, though I would be hard pressed to find one, single, solitary position they as a group have taken on any issue that I can agree with.
I don’t believe deranged moonbat chant of “Bush lied people died” which is near and dear to the heart of Code Pink. I believe that, in the immediate shadow of 9/11 the administration did the best they could with the information they could get, which coming out of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, was not 100% dependable no matter how it was sliced.
If you believe Bush knew there was solid proof that no WMD existed in Iraq anywhere, and that even if they did, they would never fall into the hands of any terrorists anywhere, then I would be glad to hear that solid proof, because I haven’t heard it.
And I have heard and seen plenty of solid evidence that there WERE indeed WMD stores in Iraq at some point in time. And that is enough for me. Our military certainly thought there were WMD when they went in.
So, yeah. To question a guy who is spouting nonsense does indeed make me think twice on whether I can hold my nose tightly enough to pull the lever for him.
