The FINGER Debate - illustrates difference between dems & GOP
While we democrats are trying to figure out the truth - did he or didn't he, the GOP would just be pushing the story non-stop - regardless of truth. The media would be going non-stop about it.

Shows the difference - we Dems care about getting to the truth - the GOP cares about what they want and pushes their reality no matter how fictitious it is.

(personally, looks like a middle finger to me for MOST of the video - and YES, I've watched it more than once - at one point only does it look like a thumbs up but regardless, this is a great illustration of my point above.)

1. Is this something new or that video from years ago?

2. You're right. If it were the reverse, the GOP would claim what they
wanted it to see and spin it 24 by 7.

5. And if it DOES turn out to be something other than his middle finger.
The Dems will get blasted for carrying on about it this long. And the media will be pegged for its unquestionable bias.... blah blah blah.

I know what you mean.

6. There's no way to prove it either way....
But the GOP wouldn't (and has proven they don't) care about truth.

My morals tell me we should.

Guess that's why we lose so often.
