No, it says nothing about me. I do understand your need to make it about me in order to deflect from the actual topic. The DNC convention at which Walz was nominated to be vice president included the parents as speakers, but when their son is killed and Walz is asked about it at the state fair, he just walks away. I am suggesting that the DNC treated them as props not that I think they are props. I think what Walz did is disgusting. |
He’s definitely not the squeaky clean candidate the Harris campaign would like you to believe:
“I'm not saying that Walz lies, precisely," Parker wrote in an op-ed headlined, "Tim Walz isn't exactly what he seems." "But he tends to gild his résumé for political gain." “Waltz has been forced to defend a number of controversies that have emerged following Vice President Harris' announcement that he would be her running mate. In particular, Walz has had to explain his record in the National Guard and his 2006 congressional campaign's statements on his 1995 drunk driving incident.” Also: “ Walz, then a 31-year-old high school teacher, was clocked at 96 mph in a 55-mph zone in Nebraska," Parker wrote. "He was pulled over by a state trooper, who, upon smelling alcohol, asked Walz to take a field sobriety test, which he failed. Walz then submitted to a hospital for a blood test, which revealed his blood alcohol level to be 0.128, well above the state's legal limit." “While that info is verifiable by police records, Walz's 2006 congressional campaign staff told the press that the candidate was not drinking and actually failed to understand the police officer's directions because of hearing loss, blaming an injury relating to his time in the National Guard.” “Morning show softballs may give comfort to the ill-prepared, but they deny viewers the content they need to be better-informed voters," Parker wrote. "Nothing about the pair's first (taped) interview Thursday night, with CNN's Dana Bash, satisfied that imperative. Although Harris handled the interview relatively well, Walz seemed to be a mixed-up mess." https://www.aol.com/tim-walz-gilded-record-political-161023402.html |
I were they treated as props when they asked to speak and was given an audience. Their speech was powerful and moving, but that does not mean they were a prop. You think they were props, and that speaks not well of your thoughts and motives. What did you want Walz to do and or say, drop another bomb. |
^How were they treated as props |
So 30 years ago the guy got a dui and apparently was so ashamed, he offered the resign. But your guy commits felonies and doesn’t accept responsibility. Got it |
Deflect. Deflect. Why does Tim ignore the reporter and walk away when asked about their son and the other hostages? He only cares when it benefits him? |
This is a thread dedicated to Walz FYI. There are plenty of places for you to post about the other guy. |
Worst possible choice. He looks older than T**** and Biden. He talks about high school football way too much. He's kills animals. She should have gone with Kelly. |
PP here. I'm a vegetarian from NJ, think guns should be banned altogether, and think youth contact sports are dangerous. I just can't relate. Kelly was an astronaut and he supports gun control more strongly than Walz. He would have been perfect. |
It’s an election. You can’t talk about one without comparing the other. At least that’s how we do it in America. |
Hogwash. Y’all would have found something to nitpick Kelly. When he was on the shortlist, DCUM was littered with posters complaining about his relationship with his first wife and how was he going to explain that. And so it began. |
Kelly is/was also a hunter. Walz talks about football because that’s part of his life. Should he be ashamed of it. |
No, but the analogies in his speeches are extremely tacky. Coaching kiddie sports does not remotely compare to running a nation. |
And I am a vegetarian in Florida and think Walz was exactly the right choice. Kelly is great on paper and a total stiff in front of a crowd. Walz is actually a very warm and likable human - and guess what, the VP doesn't need to have every policy align precisely with yours. But if you need perfection, and a complete overlap in positions, then gd help you! And gd help all of us. |
