In what respect? What, specifically, do you envision that "thing" to be?

I just don't get the government. They must recruit the worst IT employees.

If anyone in our company asked to use personal email accounts I'd tell them to eff off, including the CEO.

I assumed anyone with an IQ above room temperature (which should be at least some on this thread) would understand the original assumption. You understood that assumption well enough to drag the Colin Powell red herring across the path to deflect, get equivalence, or otherwise muddy the pond.

Lol, as though you would have acknowledged that small detail had I not hoisted your latest Obama "conspiracy theory" by its own petard.

Powell had emails on a private email account that were later classified ; Clinton had emails on a private email account that were later classified. I certainly acknowledge there are differences in what each did, but the Powell revalation is hardly a "red herring".

That's what I don't get about all these email revelations... how come no one responsible for security in the State Dept raised a red flag at the time?

I see Condeleeza Rice didn't even use email which may have been the best course of action!

Re: 2016 Election

They're talking about the Hillary death penalty thing on MSNBC. What say everybody? I don't like state sanctioned murder. I don't think it's a deal breaker for my vote though.

You watched the debate so what's your opinion of what they said about the death penalty.

Me?: I'm with Leslie in feeling uncomfortable with state-sanctioned "murder".

It came up in the debate last night - it's not breaking news. Hillary likes the death penalty as long as the Fed is doing it. Bernie says no.

See how easy that was? You asked a question and I answered it.

I see MSNBC is now giving Kasich the "kiss of death" by saying how sensible and reasonable he is.

I have gained a tolerance for politicians "evolving" on issues because I have vacillated over the years, sometimes on profound matters. So, I think that if Hillary pivoted away from the "pro" death penalty position, it would be understandable. Why, at this moment
in history, does she go hard right and continue to support something as barbaric as the death penalty?
