"CJ, I like how you stretch logic all ways."
What stretch?
"With Clinton, the "nuance" between "no interest" and "#1 priority" makes all the difference."
Oh, breaking out your special dictionary, I see. And, shooting for inscrutable. Well, you know, it isn't a binary choice. Realizing that there is a continuum between "no interest" and "#1 priority" does make all the difference.

We will ensure that federal law enforcement agencies have every lawful resource and authority they require to combat international organized crime.
"Mix that with your advocacy of the notion that terrorism should just be tolerated,"
Hey look! Another straw guy!
I never said it should be tolerated. Period. |
