We took it from Mexico. It's called the Mexican-American war because it was a war between Mexico and America. Spain was not involved.Or because of spain, not mexico. Spain is not mexico.
Came for the Hillary debate, and got...
Wait for it...
Geography and history????
Well at least I can say that what I thought I knew about this stuff was confirmed...
anyone can be edited like that, people change views and accounts, its not deceptive, its being human. It would be worrying if people had to form an opinion on everythign early on in life and were not allowed to change it, ever......
12mins? I'd love to see a trump one, but I dont think I have a weekend free to set aside to watch it.

People are of course allowed to change their opinion, people aren't reacting to that.
The thing they're reacting on is that she's constantly denying that she has said any of those things in the past and acting like her stance was the same all the way. Which is blatant lying.

So you see her values are to shift according to whatever is publicly popular.

He means in history. Israel has a long history connection with Egypt, the Sudan, Ethiopia. Which is.
thats what politicians do, if they admit error, which is natural, then the media crucifies them.
This is not an issue about politicians, but about media reporting and about public attitudes. if we crucify people for changing their minds, they will never ever admit to it.
Looks to me like Hilary's views changed over time. But if you look at Trump they change within 5minutes.....

Sorry, Trump evolved? You mean he said something stupid, and his people have to retract it, over and over and over again. He continually flip flops on things, and its not because he "evolves" its because he is someone who is disconnected from reality, one of those people who creates his own reality around himself. I've sene clips where he says something, then 5mins later denies it, and you can tell he really really believes he is right, even when presented with evidence to the contrary.
She is simply not worthy as a candidate. Disgusting human being.
Just saying, if we attack politicians whenever they admit error or change their mind, this is the result, they dont....and we attack them for that.
They are a product of the media and public perceptions and reactions. We can say we hate politicians, but we get the ones we deserve, as they act in the manner which gets them elected.
If we want politicians that tell the truth, we have to be prepared to hear it and vote for it, even if we dont like it. Sadly we as an electorate dont, and so this is what we get.
We've had half the population voting for GWB.
We currently have a top candidate that people are voting for to make "America great again."
And now we have plenty of people that are voting for a woman that believe that she'll push a $15 min wage, is against the TPP, among other things.
So who do you vote for when no one is telling the truth?
So feel free to include yourself. Because apparently you have to believe in something.
o wait, let me guess; you're a GOPer and you don't have a dog in this race except the bare bones of a hope that they're all lying.

I don't understand why people are so up in arms over her changing her opinions on things. You would think people would WANT a politician who is willing to be flexible, who is willing to compromise.
Nobody here can concretely say why her changing her opinions on anything is bad. First of all, you need to point to direct evidence that her changing her opinion was "forced" or "pandering". Second of all, you need to challenge the opinion in the first place. Ok, let's say that her stance on the TPP was bad. Why is it bad? Is the TPP bad? Why? You're throwing out the baby with the bathwater. You guys have no statistics, nothing to back your hatred for Hillary up other than stupid, out of context videos and memes.
And quite frankly, she's been consistent on most things, or at least her values. Policy is one thing. Has their been any indication that Hillary has some sort of vendetta against the poor, minorities, or people of the LGBT community? Far from it I would say.
At the end of the day, the people who hate Clinton so vehemently, to me at least, are a lost cause. You'll hate her no matter what. It doesn't matter what her opinion on anything is. She's forever damned in your minds, because you want to keep that moral pedestal above her and her supporters.
Why do people think she changes opinions? I bet she mostly has the same views and ideas as ever.
The major rule in politics is to never say what you really think, only what people want to hear (at that moment).
