    She voted for the iraq war as a senator which authorised military action.

    Now maybe you'll understand why I don't want democrats and republicans deciding who gets to spend, and how much, to campaign. Jill would get $0.

    Don't get me wrong, I hated that fucking vote and I totally disagreed with it. But blaming Hillary solely for the war is pretty outrageous. Your first post blamed her entirely and that was Bush's War. Based upon the want to go to war: Bush, Cheney, Donald Rumps etc. Not to mention the war machine: Halliburton, Carlyle Group, Boeing, Lockheed Martin. As well as ALL of those who voted in the House/Senate.

    It passed the House 296-133.
    It passed the Senate 77-23.

    The 296 House votes equal roughly 74 Senate votes (429 total House votes).

    Hillary, while being a regime change favoring war monger, is about 1/151th responsible for Iraq.

    No. The rules would be for equal funding regardless of parties. We'd also need to change to Instant Runoff Voting. With IRV Parties are obsolete.

    Shes more responsible for that muslim dudes son dying in Iraq than Trump, who i believe has long been against intervening in these foreign affairs.

    Her calls on most things have been totally wrong. Her record is abysmal. Yet shes the "most qualified candidate" ever? Clinton is just as tied into special interests, she IS the establishment and i dont think she cares if terrorists attack america as long as "she" wins. You can tell Trump HATES the terrorists and the american people.

    Hillary just seems so insincere.

    Trump Reeling As Clinton Gets 10 Point Democratic Convention Bounce And 15 Point Lead

    A new poll taken after the Democratic convention revealed that Hillary Clinton had erased any gains that Trump made after the Republican convention, with a 10 point convention bounce and a 15 point lead.

    Among likely voters, Clinton garners 46% support to Trump’s 31%. Libertarian Gary Johnson now captures 7% of the vote, while Jill Stein sits at 2%.

    Did the research. Can't support Johnson.

    He supports the TPP, LESS Wall Street regulation, and abolishing the Dept. Of Education....

    Yeah no.

    Jill Stein it is.

    In what Bizarro world do you live in where Donald Trump does not go to war during his presidency?

    Hillary or Trump = Iran War.

    Who makes the rules?

    The same people who make the rules for the presidential debates?

    Jill Stein isn't going to be in those. Neither is Johnson unless he gets a big boost in the polls by then.

    I want to start the Denny Crane party, do I get equal funding?

    It ain't going to happen the way you say.

    His first menace was with our border neighbor Mexico...then he insulted China..praised two horrible dictators..British Parliament almost blocked him from entering England..it was proposed, not passed, now he's pissed off the French wanting to vet any travelers from there...face it, the world hates the guy..even Putin trash talked him after he asked Russia to interfere with our election. Anybody who doesn't see what a blowhard, ill tempered asshole Trump is must be an anarchistic divisionist. He'll divide this nation to Civil War levels. Muslims cannot enter the US? Does that include our own athletes and soldiers? FUCK TRUMP! When swat teams start painting signs on Hispanic doors and the illegal Mexican witchhunt begins...watch what happens to our police force then. Watch the black market organize an army then. Wake up folks....Trump is a disaster of historic proportions.

    Just to add to the dirt bag's record, he applied for 5 military deferments as a student and never served in a time of war...now he wants to be commander and chief of the armed forces and insult decorated generals and war hero vets. It doesn't take a genius to see this guy's con.

    Fuck Trump.

    What a lousy choice we have between the two major parties. One undemocratic and one xenophobic.

    absolutely right...I don't remember them judging military leaders or war vets with a tough guy bluster though....all three of those people have worked with the military and made tough decisions concerning nat'l security but Trump has more of a beauty pageant, University scandal background..he's not even in the same class as the 3 you mention..not even the same universe. Again....fuck Trump. I have no interest in any of his ideas, thoughts or plans. He's a demonstrable asshole.
