Tell me you have friends that you don't agree with on everything, please!

[jillan]

The reason I ask is because they are going ape that Bernie said he gets along with Inhofe (spelling?) even tho they don't agree with each other on almost anything.

Now *they* are calling them best friends.

One of my favorite people is a die hard republican. I adore her. We have so much fun together being silly, laughing, movies, lunch, dinner. We don't talk about politics, climate change, the election, anything "controversial". Altho she did turn to me when she wanted to sign up with Obamacare
She knows I am a die hard liberal. Doesn't mean that she won't hold my hand when my personal life is in shambles, and vice versa.

Why is it so hard for them to understand??? These men work together. I'm glad that Bernie can find common ground with people that do not see eye to eye with him.

They are now tying Bernie to Inhofe on anything they can. It's so childish.

I guess the idea of being friends with people at work is elusive to some.

Sorry - I needed to vent.

1. It's crazy.

And they're bringing up the disproven auto-bailout lie again here too. Ridiculous stuff.

9. I believe proof or truth doesn't matter, the post has to do with the "Big Lie" Stategy that Brock

and the Clinton campaign are using as a large tool in their dirty tricks box.

His "internet specialists" (legal supposedly, but based on a very loose interpretation on a loop hole)
can be paid by a super-PAC to coordinate directly with her campaign if it is only involved via the internet,

Some of these employees are paid to post an all forms of social media, and often do, especially when it regards the Big Lie tactics when they are used, which rely on repetition of the lie in order to make people believe the lie even when faced with solid facts to the contrary.

Expect this lie to be continuously spread, along with other lies pushed as truth via the Big Lie tactic that they have been employing liberally. (perhaps the only true sentence involving the word liberally in connection with Clinton, a right wing candidate within the Democratic party.)

Joseph Goebbels: On the "Big Lie"

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

2. I have a good friend who is a conservative Republican and we just don't talk

politics. We do work together well.

Sure, Imhoff is an asshole. Absolutely. But that doesn't mean someone can't get along with him.

Here's a thought: People are cutting down Bernie for liking and getting along with Imhoff. Oh, instead of getting along with him, these Clinton supporters are implying that Bernie should treat him like a pariah, maybe even cross to the other side of the street when he's coming...

BUT, this is exactly what the GOP has done to Obama in their ignoble effort to delegitimize not only Obama's presidency but Obama himself. So...we hate it when people do it to us, but when one of us refrains from doing it to 'them' then we take exception???

Just wondering because that seems a little hypocritical to me.

3. And who was it who considered herself to be Justice Antonin Scalia's best friend?

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Justice Antonin Scalia: 'We Were Best Buddies'

by Elisha Fieldstadt and Pete Williams

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Sunday that she and her unlikely friend Justice Antonin Scalia "disagreed now and then" but even so, "we were best buddies."

14. ^^^^ THIS ^^^^^

[snot]

4. good gawd, please; I've never agreed with my SPOUSES on everything

– who has?

[jillan]

13. Happily divorced here, so yeah.

[Cleita]

5. I have friends that are polar opposite to me yet we get along. We avoid

subjects in conversation that could cause friction, but we need each other to help each other out. It's nice to be able to have a conversation with real FDR Democrats and Bernie supporters, but we still have to get along with others whose opinions may not be so agreeable.

[rusty quoin]

6. Well yeah. I try to avoid politics and not get mad. I get sad when they bring it up.

I like them, and feel they are something like brainwashed.

There's a documentary out there now I've been waiting to see...something like "The Brainwashing of My Dad"...

These people are just like me, but I don't really know why they vote against their own interest.

[jillan]

12. I can't wait to see that!

[jillan]

11. I'm sorry about your mom. :( My dad was a true indie, sometimes he voted R, that

was hard.

8. Well picture this scenario.

I ran for a Florida congressional seat in 2004. I went up to DC with my campaign manager for a week, meeting with people from the DNC, DCCC, several Senators, and many Congresspeople.

On the ground floor of the (then) new DNC building is a nice restaurant and bar called the Democratic National Club. White table cloths, vested bar tender (Joseph), etc. A very classy place. I spent a lot of evenings in there drinking and meeting people.

Almost half the patrons were Republican Congressmen. They were drinking and eating with their Democratic counterparts. And acting civilized. That's probably where a lot of legislation was worked out.

But, alas, I never saw Bernie Sanders in there, so I don't know if he was really a congressman or not.

[jillan]

10. Lol - "I never saw Bernie Sanders in there, so I don't know if he was really a congressman or not."

[Fuddnik]

15. Hey, I spent a lot of daytime hours with Dennis Kucinich and Tammy Baldwin.

But I never saw them in the bar either. Do you think they tricked me?

[Scootaloo]

17. 'Course I do

Life does not have a "block user" button.

[ErikJ]

18. Didnt Hillary say she was friends with Kissinger?

and she took his advice?

[Fearless]

19. What about this then... From Nancy Reagan's funeral...

[LittleGirl]

20. I have

a BFF in AZ that I've known for over 20 yrs and is wasn't until I got involved in politics a decade ago that I realized she was a hard core republican. We just didn't discuss politics until then. We still don't. It's hard sometimes because she can be a total racist. I have another school friend that I've known longer and she's a born again Christian and we don't discuss politics either especially after she said she liked Rush limbaugh. ugh. Of course, I haven't spoken to my brother or sister in over 3 yrs either because of the same stuff. Another couple of tea baggers.

[Gene Debs]

21. Bernie has Inhofe, *they* have Henry Kissinger.

[lunamagica]

22. Like Jim Inhofe? NO

That man is NOT a good person

[TM99]

28. I would rather Sanders

'get along' with Inhofe than be BFF's with GW and Kissinger. Those two are far worse people.

24. My best friends are 3 guys I grew up with...

all Republicans - I've know all of them since elementary school or earlier.

[warrprayer]

26. This is America

And we are allowed to be friends with people we disagree with and not hurt each other.

[eridani]

29. And Clinton then says that she can work with Repubs and Cansers can't? WTF? n/t

30. "You want a friend in

in Washington? Get a dog." Harry S. Truman

sadly, he was right. I know from experience

[TexasBushwhacker]

31. Ruth Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia were friends

You couldn't find 2 people more different in their judicial view points, but they had known each other for a long time and shared some interests, like the love of opera.
