I'm talking about this line from the article:

The questionnaire leaves no stone unturned in its 63-part effort to excavate any personal or professional transgressions in a candidate’s past. Sample indiscretions run the gamut from criminal convictions and tax fraud to text messages or personal diary entries that could be a “possible source of embarrassment” to the President-elect if made public.
no stone unturned eh? plus he had a couple of criminal convictions already. Plus he was investigated by the FBI. lol dude you will do/say anything to carry Obama's water.

sometimes? i can't remember the last time i saw 17sss come up with an argument that was both valid AND substantial. as far as im concerned he is emblematic of everything that is wrong with political discourse in the US (at least at a public level).

Thats what happens when you have no agenda to propose or set.

sorry man it's just weird to hear that when I'm a native to the U.S. and you live on a small island 20,000 miles from here. Political discourse in the U.S., and crazy as it can be, is a lot better and more civil than the vast majority of the alternatives.

So, rampant scare-mongering counts as being civil?

What are those alternatives? North Korea?
Surely we can measure ourselves to a slightly higher standard...

no doubt man. I'm just saying... if you've ever watched a session of even the UK's parlament in session, there are constant shouts and boos and yelling out. And they are supposed to be the upper echelon of civility. As they say, 2 things you never want to witness being made: sausage and laws.

its a little disingenuous to compare question time to an address of this nature by the president to both houses. i believe these kind of addresses are only carried out on the rarest of occasions? hardly the same thing as question time.

And you think this guy put that in his questionnaire? You'r making an issue out of a non-issue, seriously. The news channels have more than moved on with this piece of insignificant news.

I certainly don't know what you're basing this on, but I can't fathom it. I really have to disagree. Dialogue between you and myself as a prime example.
