keep your friends close but your enemies closer
Published on October 12, 2016 By Anthony R In Politics

What an election season. Democrats are hardly worth the time to write about anymore, but Republicans are proving to be even worse. They have now been exposed as career politicians with absolutely no loyalty to party, only to interests, and money. Need evidence? Look no further than "war hero" John McCain. Most people that I know were so sickened by the idea of him becoming the party nominee in 2008, that they refused to vote for him, but I, as a loyal Republican, held my nose and did the deed. How am I repaid by McCain? with a news conference to announce his intention to not support the Republican nominee, Donald Trump for President. In 2008, McCain embarrassed the Republican party severely by refusing to condemn the use of the racial slur, "gook," but now he is appalled, so appalled by the vulgarity of Donald Trump. Give me a break. Senator McCain has made his intentions perfectly clear as other Republicans have. He is more comfortable with Hillary because she has promised to keep feathering his nest as he has all these years. Same goes for Paul Ryan and all the other so called conservatives who were just punching bags for Obama the last 8 years. And we wondered why. Its because they all have the same interests. So that's it. 2016 was the year that Toto pulled the curtain. Its rigged, and ordinary people are fools to fight with one another believing otherwise to the delight of those who pull the puppet strings.

Not to worry.  Kiefer Sutherland will clean up all the mess.

People are looking for someone to stand up for the
middle class in the US, take the heat and not blow
away in the wind.
The only politician that fits this description is Donald Trump.

He isn't a politician.  Even politicians require a higher order intelligence than Trump possesses.

I will proudly vote for Trump for a myriad of reasons, but this is certainly up there on the list. I really respect Trump for his ability to fight the storm of all he has faced in the election. I don't believe any of the sexual abuse accusers and think they were all paid for. They have thrown the kitchen sink at him and he just keeps going out at 3, or 4 rallies a day to present his case.  The choice is simple for Republicans on the fence... what am I more uncomfortable with? some crude language, or do I find partial birth abortion, corruption, and outright criminality to be worse?  I can't see how anyone even remotely conservative could sit on the sidelines and risk a Supreme Court molded in Clinton's image. It might not even really matter if the new emails harvested from online cockslapper Anthony Weiner's emails turn up damning evidence.

Oh yes....Trump is innocent and everyone else is guilty.

That works.

I never thought this world was actually so populated by the absurdly naive.

The audio of him boasting sexual assault was fabricated too.

He is not fit to lead a country....unless that country is so brain-dead stupid as to deserve him.

Don't like Clinton?  Fine.  But FFS don't vote for a misogynist pig out of spite.  Celebrity is not a determinator of leadership...it is simply a demonstration of bull-shit ego.

The time of choice is coming for us Americans and both candidates are lightning rods for different reasons. I line up more with Donald Trump and his beliefs more than I do with Clinton, period. I would actually find a Trump Presidency to be a relief as opposed to a Clinton presidency which would begin with impeachment hearings as soon as she takes the oath, provided the bible didn't burst into flames upon her resting her hands on it. And all this "misogyny crap is so ridiculous. I have said things with buddies behind closed doors that I don't think would have been greeted with a lot of praise if that private conversation was released to the world on the nightly news with our private jokes becoming public. And women are just as savage about men behind closed doors as well, and they know it. Nothing is off limits with them.. the size of our junk, the amount of money we make... we are truly lucky we don't know everything they say about us men! I respect your opinion of the election Jafo, and don't see any reason to see you any other way just because you think we should have a hardcore criminal in charge of our country.

I am a US born citizen for 52 years and I have
always lived in the US.
I am only looking at the policies of the candidates
this election.
I believe we need to create factory jobs in the US
to grow the middle class or there will be
less and less people at the top income levels,
causing a downward spiral.
I believe Donald Trump has presented the best policies
to get this done.He has also pointed out a wide range
of problems we are facing and policies to address them.
I agree with 98% of Donald Trump's policy statements.

Anthony....you are not intending to be in charge of/responsible for 150 million or so women...[not just the yobbo-mentality men].

I ain't no President wannabe...but as one of the people responsible for protecting/supporting Stardock's 6 million plus registered members I would be dismissed instantly for showing such immature and sexist attitudes towards the several million female members of Stardock's sites.

Of course, an US President doesn't need to be held to the same high standard of conduct obviously.

[BTW...the last is sarcasm]...

 

Tea Leoni for President! ...

Yes, when I listen to Trump I hear one of the most conservative agendas I've ever heard really, with the exception of entitlements and debt. I would vote for him just to save the Supreme Court alone. I can't see how someone can be like, hey, my principals keep me from voting for him, because hey, some course language is far more offensive than partial birth abortions and a liberal Supreme Court executing every liberal wet dream from the bench, which circumvents any further need for Congress. Trump can be weird and abrasive, but I'm willing to see him try. I'm all aboard the Trump train!

Oh....did I mention he's also racist....in a country that [tries to] pride itself in its multiculturalism?

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Just no Muslims or Mexicans, and preferably nothing that's not quite white.......

Australia Wants to Keep Migrants Arriving by Boat Out, Even as Tourists
Proposed law would extend a settlement ban to all visa classes

Nice try, Iben but that's refering to the illegal trafficking of human smuggling.....where many drown attempting to get here...and the smugglers get paid whether they make it or not.

Australia is particularly multi-cultural....great example is that Melbourne has the world's third largest population/city of Greeks....and that includes Greece.

Currently 28% of the population was not born in Australia, which compares to 13.5% of the same for the US.

Nice try, Iben

I guess he could have dredged up the injustice dealt to the aboriginal population of Australia. I wouldn't have dragged that up, but if  I were Iben maybe I would have

No country has totally clean hands.  Not one.  Some have cleaner hands than others, but all are grimy to varying degree.  The 'high horse' is only high relative to the others.

No country has totally clean hands.
Yes, I guess Iben's point was probably that it was unfair to condemn as racist a fair policy such as halting the flow of illegal immigration.

I have known four men who immigrated from the US to Australia legally.
One had a skill Australia wanted and brought a wife with him.
One married an Australian women and that is how he got in.
One was a business man with money and a family who brought in his business.
One had money and was building a house there and married an Australian women.
They told me Australia doesn't just let anybody walk in, they need a good reason to let you in.
That was my personal experience with this subject.
I think Australia has a smart immigration policy we in the US should look at.
And as a side note,
Do we in the US want Tim Kaine as president?
