Khan died in an illegitimate war launched on pretexts and lies, that other than toppling saddam accomplished none of it's stated aims, but instead fulfilled his prophecy that the gates of hell would be opened, and the only beneficiaries of that war in this country were neocons on both sides of the political aisle, and their big business cronies.

I don't care if the Clintons are his best friends. It doesn't change the fact that their son died serving our country.

Seeing as how we know for a fact that the Dem nomination process was indeed rigged it would seem Trump's fears are well founded.
And now, the freaking VFW piles on:
http://www.vfw.org/News-and-Events/Articles/2016-Articles/VFW-Supports-Gold-Star-Families/
WASHINGTON — Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump has a history of lashing out after being attacked, but to ridicule a Gold Star Mother is out-of-bounds, said the new national commander of the near 1.7 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States and its Auxiliary.
“Election year or not, the VFW will not tolerate anyone berating a Gold Star family member for exercising his or her right of speech or expression,†said Brian Duffy, of Louisville, Ky., who was elected July 27 to lead the nation’s oldest and largest major war veterans organization.
“There are certain sacrosanct subjects that no amount of wordsmithing can repair once crossed,†he said. “Giving one’s life to nation is the greatest sacrifice, followed closely by all Gold Star families, who have a right to make their voices heard.â€
Can't wait to see Trump snipe at the VFW. By the end of the week, Hillary could well have a 20 point lead.
All the elites are in the back pocket of the treasonous Neocons who are pulling Hillary's strings.
Lol, you obviously don't know what it means, or tou are being argumentative for the sake of it. It is clear what Pence meant. What institutions are there that change same sex behavior to abstinence?

• "Congress should support the reauthorization of the Ryan White Care Act only after completion of an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus. Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior"
It is obviouz this is not abstinence and safe sex because those don't involve institutions.
"Institution" is not synonymous with "conversion therapy".
"Behavioral change" is not synonymous with "conversion therapy".
LOTS of things fall under these two categories not just conversion therapy. You are wrong. There are institutions that involve safe sex and abstinence. Perhaps you don't know what "institution" means.

I notice you did not answer any of the questions. Sort of like when they asked Trump to list his sacrifices and he started talking about his accomplishments. Typical.
The country is far and away better off now than when Obama took office. Your refusal to acknowledge that loses you independent voters.

a) This isn't a sacrifice contest. Trump should have said "who the hell cares, why are you asking me that?" when he was asked about "sacrificing."
b) Khan's son died because of policies implemented by Hillary Clinton and the establishment rather than anything Donald Trump has ever done. Pure and simple fact.
c) This whole ridiculous topic was set up and driven by the Clinton Election Team (est. ~1995) and the media, and I am disappointed in Trump's response. He could have said "No comment" on each and every question regarding Khan and it would have driven the media nuts.

For the record I think the media's labeling of Trump as "attacking" the gold star mom was an exaggeration. More accurately he did make a snarky comment about her not speaking. He certainly was not respectful to her and comparing his sacrifice with that of parents was one of the dumbest things he said.
As this election process continues, Trump is getting exposed more and more and his comments are showing he can't handle the pressure.
He greatest accomplishment to date is making Hillary look really good. That is amazing.
This particular issue only became big because of Trump's response.
If he said nothing about it, it would have gone away and would have been soon forgotten with all of the other speakers.
Trump was baited into this and took the bait.
If Elizabeth Warren makes a dig at Trump and Trump comes back with something awful about her, it has little impact.
But making the slightest dig at a private citizen, especially grieving parents apparently has a big effect.
The grieving Benghazi mother said some pretty bad things about Hillary at the RNC.
Hillary's response was empathy for the mother.
Trump isn't capable of empathy.
This contrast is why one story got big and the other didn't.
Clinton will win the election by 20 points. Republicans spin their delusional rants over and over again. Trump galvanized the racists, but repels everyone else, including Republicans who were on the fence. Hell, the Houston Chronicle has opted to support Hillary Clinton.
There are also a ton of comments on here listing her corruption. Funny thing is YOUR GOP-led committees cleared her of wrong doing.
Your red herrings are old, tired, weak and false. Buh-bye GOP - your party is on its way out for a long time. I'm sad though, since there will be pockets of red areas and corrupt cities which will be "no-go" zones for most Americans of color, who will cling to their bitter and hateful ideals.

One of Trump's biggest flaws is that he's incapable of taking the high road.

You do understand that Khan was a managing partner in that firm and therefore was most certainly aware that people as important as the Clintons were its clients, and as a partner, he benefitted from that even if first year associates and a team of anonymous paralegals were doing the billable work on the files. Therefore we can raise questions of a "quid pro quo" when trying to understand why he was manipulated by crooked pols into exhuming and displaying the corpse of his long dead son on national tv and letting them milk his grief for political gain in the process. It really is time for some of you folks to wake up and smell the coffee!
Well...at least we know that Hilary pays her taxes. Unlike Donald.
And I don't know why there has to be a big conspiracy theory about how he worked at a law firm that did work for the Clintons WHILE HE WAS EMPLOYED THERE AS A MANAGING PARTNER OH MY GOD THE BLACK HELICOPTERS ARE COMING FOR US.
It's not some big complicated spin you guys. Khan does not like Trump's politics. Pakistani American lawyers probably don't need much financial motivation to dislike Trump. Of course the narrative is being manipulated and blown out of proportion and of course the whole thing is more or less scripted. That's just how the world works. It's not a conspiracy. Trump walked right in to the trap, just like they knew he would.

I hate to break it to you but this is what's getting exposed: the fact even a long-buried soldier's corpse isn't safe from the Clinron re-election machine reveals how desparate, and desparately wicked and those people are!
... and when Democrats trashed the mother of the Benghazi victim they walked right into the trap too, right? Oh, no they didn't. Because the MSM didn't call them on it, because the ones doing the trashing WERE the MSM.
It's a wonderful demonstration of the double standard and how the MSM are just an arm of the Democrat party.
The Islamic State (note that word "State" in their title) has responded to the Pope's assertion that Islam is a religion of peace. The Islamic State (ISIS) says they are NOT peaceful, they intend to convert us, enslave us, or kill us, and that they HATE us! They claim that the Koran requires and justifies all the "senseless" killing we see every day.
http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2016/08/02/islamic-state-answers-pope-francis-religious-war/The fact is, even if you were to stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, vilifying us, and usurping our lands, we would continue to hate you because our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam. Even if you were to pay jizyah [tax for infidels] and live under the authority of Islam in humiliation, we would continue to hate you.
So that's finally settled. Islam is a religion of hatred, intolerance, death, and world domination. Got that Wiggins?
Now why would our leaders try so hard to keep us from seeing the truth?

The Democratic presidential candidate did not "trash the mother of the Benghazi victim". The Republican presidential candidate did trash the parents of speaking about their lost son at the DNC. That's the difference.

Open your eyes, indeed. Iraq is the baby of Republicans and their false reports of WMDs. (There weren't any Trump supporters who voted for Bush, I'm sure. No siree. They weren't shaking their money-makers for the Iraq war and calling liberals traitors for not supporting it, they all voted for Nader!) Putting Iraq on Clinton and some nebulous "establishment" is outrageous.
