Biden just met with Liz Warren. If he's asking her to be VP that would be an interesting ticket, sort of the socialist version of Bush/Cheney.
Why not? Why not vote for the best president available, regardless of political side? I'm only registered republican because I want to vote for the primaries. I will not keep that vote for the presidential election. I voted for Clinton his first term.
Mindless rant aside, you got the bit about PC right. About "anchor babies," too. That's challenging the status quo. He's taken on the Republican Party establishment as well. Latest poll says he's within 5 points of Hillarity in a head to head general election match up. She's going south, he's moving in a positive direction.
It's just the polarity between the two camps and who they're trying to appeal to. It's odd that someone would be receptive to both. Tapping into peoples fear and ignorance isn't challenging the status quo. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump being the frontrunners, basically because they're famous, is pretty shameful and says a lot about us.
I respectfully disagree. I am very conservative with many "big government" ideas, especially at the economic level, but very liberal on social views like The right to choose and Gay marriage. I am very environmental about the world we live in, but I don't buy into global warming. I am against abortion, but I don't think it's the government's job to force people to keep their babies.
I commend you not being rigid, but can I ask how a small government economic conservative conforms their mindset or reconciles voting for Bernie Sanders? ...Or voting for promises of a 2,000 mile long wall, a constitutional change and round-up deportations.
The wall is a great idea, IMO. As for deportation... I am for that as well. I like Trumps idea to expedite their citizenship through the legal channels. As for being "unconstitutional", the argument for the baby citizenship is that it doesn't hold up in court. And Obama and Bush have done their fair share of breaking constitutional laws. All politicians do it. Even Clinton broke the law. As for Bernie... The dude is a "for the best interest of all citizens". I'm open to fed spending, as long as it's for the best interest for the greater good. As long as it's not for the best interest for a political agenda. In the end, I'm still undecided. I want to see the presidential debates first
mags version of Trumpsanity! Sarah Palin had that same 15 minutes if I remember correctly..then she had to talk for a year without looking crazy..couldn't pull it off. I don't think Trump can either. Trump's a salesman..to get power, he'll find the nerve and milk it but once in power..looney tunes baby..if by some weird quirk he were elected, I'd seriously consider going back overseas for the duration.
Building a wall to span the entire southern border so that you can only hope to play wack-a-mole from east Texas to California and spending half a trillion dollars to lose a trillion or so of our GDP forcefully deporting people isn't fiscally conservative. Changing the 14th amendment out of spite isn't small government. You're voting for change at all costs but expect the most corrupt element of a politician to remain? Spending in the interest of a greater good is basically a big government mantra and obviously Bernie would spearhead that quite well...But also isn't fiscally conservative.
Don't know if you paid much attention to what I said. I was pretty clear that I would support spending if it helps the betterment of America. The drug and people smuggling is an epidemic. I want some effort to stop it. I mean Obama spent trillions on healthcare reform that was absolute shit. We could have built 5 walls for the frivolous spending of the Obama administration. No, I am explaining that your argument of Trump being corrupt, yet supporting your party using the same corruption is not a good argument. My vote is not based on "corruption", since all politicians are corrupt. Rather, I am voting on someone that is willing to think outside the box. As I've said again, I support spending money if it makes sense. Every business has to spend money to make money. Where I see shitty spending is on free money to large corporations or welfare recipients. Neither makes economic sense, unless the free money will bring back large amounts of taxable revenue.
Legalization would help stem it more than paying to economically harm ourselves while simultaneously not solving the problem would. Obamacare is the definition of trying to "spend for the greater good". Bernie wants to expand it. Medicare for all. I didn't say Donald Trump is corrupt. I said he's an attention whore, garnering political support by appealing to the fearful, ignorant...and willfully stupid. Corporate and social welfare are both handed out as "the best interest for the greater good". It's sold as either that or a crumbling economy. That or little Jimmy and Gran-Gran sick, starving and homeless in the street.
Economically harm ourselves? Sorry I don't buy that. But it isn't. Such a pompous remark. So you are saying everyone voting for trump is stupid? Oh please... Yep, and it could be good if it wasn't abused. We need someone fiscally responsible enough to manage these funds and who they cater to.
We need TORT reform and national health care My responses somehow got within the quote panes..my screwup
