Progressives, part 3...

Oh that's not what those sound bites are.  Pretty clear the Virginia politicians said that anything will be on the table

No anything is not on the table and again what about people in her situation. 

Lol the Virginia Senator is now denying either of them in the picture is him and calling classmates to see if they remember... sure. According to the Kavanaugh hearings, his beer quote should be sketchy enough

Lol, the old: "It wasn't me; I'm just cool with my buddies wearing Klan shit and blackface on my yearbook page!!!" defense. Fuck, regardless of how you feel about the "should his career be over because he was a POS?" part, it DEFINITELY should be over if that's the best attempt at a defense he could come up with. I wouldn't trust someone that stupid to run a lemonade stand, let alone a state.

Lmao, Ralph Northam is disgusted that photo showed up on his yearbook page!

What a joke. I knew he would claim that wasn't him.

LOL.....so how are rose colored glasses?  The House member from Virginia when asked if you can abort a baby when the mother was dialated said "yes, this bill would allow that"

As for racist gov.  said as a physician...."You can keep the baby comforted while deciding to kill it"

Someone on Twitter said: "We'll keep the governor comfortable while we decide what to do with his career." I thought that was funny.

Are you really contending that doctors would kill healthy babies after they were born? Or during birth? Did you not read my example I posted of situations where this might happen? Or can u only make strawman arguments that fit political agendas. There are real people behind legislation like this.

Will someone enlighten Geeblock that he is dead wrong.  Virginia and New York are passing legislation that would allow for an abortion up to 40 weeks.  That is essentially murder.

Doom and gloom nothing is going to change. People that want abortions are going to get them way before 40 weeks and people who have extreme medical conditions will be able to consult with the doctor to make the best choice. Talk about fake outrage news. 

Side note the same people who want these deformed babies to live also don’t want them to have health care or public assistance #irony

as far as the governor he should be asked to moonwalk to prove his story

I'm pretty sure most of us want everyone to have health care, which in fact everyone does. This is somehow confused with health insurance, which most of want everyone to have by paying for it.

posted by SpocThe dems will make him resign.....if they dont, every person running against a Dem will play that card against them

and then the people will decide.

A costume.

35 years ago.

Idiocy for him to have to resign.

I can’t believe this is the hill you want to die on. I don’t know if he’s a racist or not but he can’t be the governor and represent a whole state of people. If he wants to open a private practice then people can decide if they want to go to him for treatment. It’s really very simple. If people don’t want to be treated by him they will choose another doctor 🤷‍♂️

By your same argument then people will make their voices be known by their choices on whom to vote for the next time he is up for election.   If it is good enough for your example, then it should be good enough for this as well.

What? Think people will forget about it and move on by then?   Likely, because..its not a big deal.  Cooler heads should prevail and people realize it was a fucking costume 35 years ago.

There isnt a reason why he should resign today for a costume he wore in college 35 years ago.  That is just plain idiotic.

Just so I can gain some perspective on who I am discussing this topic, is there a person if any that we both could agree is racist? Besides the 50 black people u are thinking of could you pick a white one just for the sake of the discussion. If there are none that is fine as well.

My mother in law and a few of their family friends....extremely racists. I dont know any public people well enough to be able to judge if they are racists are not.   

As far as black people whom I think are racists? Um, I know one and again, you wouldn't know him.

Dont know any public figures well enough to know if they are racists are not.  

With that said, wearing a costume 35 years ago isnt a huge deal and this, nor any person, should be forces to resign over it. 

Let the people decide when he is up for re election.

Just giving you a hard time I wasn’t thinking of like celebrities, but let’s say a person like David duke. We can agree he is a racist correct?

How racist is racist enough to be labeled "racist?"

If we dig down to a level of minutia, we'll all have some level of racism.
