You cannot rely on a designated driver in the voting booth. The level of personal animus directed at the major party nominees will not prevent one from being elected, and it may be in the interest of Americans to stop regarding elections as personal popularity contests. When it comes to the introspective analysis of some voters asking themselves which candidate they would rather have a beer with, I always opt for quaffing my Guinness alone. All of them are (or are impersonating) politicians, an automatic disqualifier for prospects of cordial imbibing. Promises, promises. Ideological entertainment media will supply scary stories of consummate depravity aplenty in preaching to their discordant choir, but pragmatists will assess such matters as experience, acumen, stability, and the realistic capacity to further the interests of an increasingly diverse nation domestically and internationally. Don't be looking for a drinking buddy when you pick a politician. That would be akin to choosing your cardiologist based upon a last-man-standing, caged Texas booze fest. If a political candidate is likable enough, that's enough. It's a job assignment, not a BFF commitment.
this is true. Judge everythign for yourselves. Is the current system working for you? Are you working multiple jobs and not getting ahead while people who put in far less work seem far more prosperous? Then yes you may need to vote for the system to change. If you are fine and prospering where you are then leave it as is.
As a Republican, I don't want to drink a beer with my fav candidate. I want a candidate that will pull the wings off flies. I want to salt snails. GWB liked to put firecrackers up cats and light them. I want a candidate that we can discuss topics like the best torture. How best to make the lives of the poor and ill miserable. I want an empathy challenged candidate.
"Seems" and "is" are often disparate matters, but discontent is a poor substitute for dispassionately considering realistic prospects. "Candidate X's whining gives voice to my personal grievances" redresses them in no substantive, realistic manner. Coherent, consistent, practicable details are demanded. .
really boils down to two things. Are you happy where your at? Then vote status quo. Are you not happy? Then do something about it. Really you guys should be making the case about how everything is better now than where its at after all your running the status quo candidate.
I'll take a pass on quaffing, imbibing, fisting or whatever else it is you'd like to do with your favorite fantasy political match up, to include any future use of the term BFF because that acronym could mean many things. My advise is don't vote for Crooked Hillary Clinton or if you feel the urge to do so then do us all a favor and stay home, don't vote, please. Thank you.
YES! Its all about everyone and whether or not they feel the current system is working for them. Everyone votes for what they feel is in their best interest.
I don't. That is what brought down this system. The rich, who hire lobbyists, seek to nullify all restraints on themselves. Then, when the system collapses, they seek to be made whole by the voters. Rinse lather repeat.
Well I really don't care about who Republicans want to have a drink with, I care more about the misinformation they have and continue to be fed by Republican entertainers like Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, and Fox News. They are being misinformed and misled, and when the ideology doesn't work out, as it inevitably doesn't, they make up new people to blame. They never blame themselves. They never take responsibility for their actions. Demagogues play to our biases and our ignorance. As for your sadistic ideations, perhaps a shrink can help with that.
Why? Because you don't want America to be great again? Ho hum. I guess some people love corruption over free market capitalism. I guess some people love massive immigration of muslim terrorists over jobs for Americans. Lefties Try To Crash Fourth Of July With ‘AmericaWasNeverGreat’ Hashtag
Polls show that Americans would elect President Obama to a third term rather than vote for either of the 2016 probable nominees, but even that would not mean it is a vote for your "status quo" because it's always a work in progress. Certainly, supporting McNasty in 2008 or Willard in 2012 did not mean that those who did were yearning for a restoration of the waning days of the last Republican administration. For some, it's like being so dissatisfied with plumbers that they suddenly hire a performer who specializes in card tricks instead because they've decided that they rather opt for an entertaining novelty act than take a chance with a different plumber fixing their blocked toilet. To whichever "you guys" actually think that way, I blithely say, "Good luck."
You've got to marvel at any show business performer whose political campaign consists of calling opponents names and getting his cult to parrot them.
sounds good to me.... but you know Obama can't run again, he will leave on his own when his term is complete
Yep, it looks great. http://www.city-data.com/forum/atta...076753-looking-waterfront-slum-shirt1-011.jpg
Yes, and one must also marvel at two hicks from that backwoods of Arkansas who like the Clampet family struck political gold and have been capitalizing on it breaking every law along the way and getting away with it because the democratic sycophants who pretend to hate white trailer trash redneck hillbillies from the back woods just love the Clinton's even if he is a bastard and a pervert. Yeee haw Billy! Move up the truck with the astro turf in the back and head to Washington!
