78. The connection to watergate

Wed Jun 1, 2016, 01:06 PM

Jun 2016

And Iran contra, and the Iraq War, is how hyper partisans react and get into the denial bunkers. Some never leave them. You are telling me that young people, worst middle age, during watergate, who are going to their graves believing this was the liberal press persecuting the President, who mind you in their minds did nothing, are not dying off? I want to know where they found ever lasting life.

I know, I know, they are Republicans therefore evil, and likely vampires

I get it, why this is hard to understand for you by the way.
