Mitch Daniels. Moderate Republican. Governor of Indiana with a very successful record - major turnaround after the recession of 2008. Was OMB director thru 2003. Worked in the private sector, too. John Kasich. Moderate Republican. Governor of Ohio with a very successful record as well. He was Chairman of the House Budget Committee that forced Clinton into balanced budgets. He wrote the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, passed by republican House and Senate. Took a -$196B deficit and turned it into a $236B surplus in 5 years. Was in the private sector from 2001-2009. Both governors, which means executive branch experience and they just move their staff to DC and hit the ground running. Both know the tax and spending issues better than almost anyone else. Both know the effects of government on the private sector, so they'll appreciate what signing Bills does to people. I like Governor Moonbeam, but he's really too old.
Someone who has never spent a second of her/his life in any political post or executive corporate position, has raised children to happy, productive adulthood, is still head over heels in love with her/his spouse, has never made more than $100,000 in a single year, did not spend more than 4 years in college, is successfully self-employed and loved and respected by their community. I'm not expecting to ever be presented with the option, but that's who I would be happy to vote for. As for Buffett, he and his partners in crime are already President by proxy.
There are more than 2 parties to vote for and if you don't like any candidate, I might suggest what I've had to do most of my adult life, vote against the worst candidate in your opinion. If you don't vote, apathy has no grounds for complaint
Daniels' net worth is $15.7M. Kasich's net worth is $1.4M. Jeb Bush's net worth is $2.4M. Rand Paul's net worth is $1.1M Marco Rubio's net worth is $1M Scott Walker's net worth is $200K Source: http://www.leonardpierce.com/blog/2012/08/28/worth-it/
Ha! Yeah, perhaps we had better get back to some proven stock. Giving these rabble from the outlands a shot isn't working out so good.
Denny, which person, if elected the next president, will generate the most posts and make you the most money? I am undecided, so I might as well help you.
Maybe 5 out of 100 Americans can find Libya on a globe, and none of them care what happens there. Americans want to feed their families and get healthcare for their families and provide a decent home for their families. They really don't have the time or incentive to care about a CIA agent spying on a third world country for big oil and big pharma.
things taken out of context make for a great political ad, you are correct. But like I said, I hope they foolishly run those kinds of ads. They'll end up being foolish and insulting to the average voter. Benghazi was made into a huge scandal, when it actually isn't one. If I was running the R's, I'd just run ads about how there has been a Clinton in office in 12 of the last 20 years...although the first 8 were good, so maybe I wouldn't. Maybe run an add about what your guy WOULD do instead of bringing up some catch phrase/cliche/chain email type shit? It's not a wonder why the republicans have lost 4 of the last 6 presidencies AND 5 out of the last 6 in terms of popular vote.
The ads write themselves. Why didn't Hillary run ads saying what she would do instead of the 3AM ad? Pot. Kettle. Black.
"What difference does it make" is exactly the thoughts of Democrats and fair-minded Republicans. When right-wingers think they score points by repeating her common sense question, the vast majority of voters are befuddled that warmongers think that it helps their side. Instead, you just look like juvenile wannabe trouble-maker brats and it costs you votes.
The real egg on your smirking face is that your side never tries to answer her question because you have no answer.
