I'll vote, the polling place is only a 2 block walk.

Instead of worrying which fool will be president I'm focusing on learning more about my local races as "all politics is local". Tip O'Neill

 

Correct, your vote will mean more on the local level and you'll see more effect from it..

 

One is a chronic and habitual liar and the other is an idiot who only sprews hatred.

I'm voting for neither, but will focus on the rest of the REPUBLICAN ticket.

 

Yeah remember that Obama voters. You currently see what "Change" and "Hope" got you in the last 8 years. JackS h I t. :lol:


I want a Man in the Oval office that is not afraid of the Middle east and will fire the rockets. ( Not Nukes )

We can bomb those stupid countries back to the stone age without putting any US Troops on the ground and put Russia back in its place.

They "Russia" will not attack us and we will not attack them, the Middle East is both countries battlefield. It has been this way for ever.

 

Yup they are the best that American people voted for and Corporation for Hillary donated money for. She has been bought and paid for.

I don't want to hear people crying because they did not vote in the Primaries or voted 3rd party that was just stupid.

All the other 3 party guys could not raise the cash or did not have a clue what Aleppo was.

Face it we are a 2 party system and all the other little parties are a waste of every ones time and money.

 

Might be away from prying eyes and be an off-off-off topic area yet do not let this denigrate to Fox News level shouting. It'll be stopped.

This is an escape. Keep it that way.

 

Another thing I find telling... George H Bush is voting for Hillary (someone I have a ton of respect for. George, not Hillary).

George W Bush isn't endorsing Trump (Someone I don't have quite as bit of respect for, but as a former president, still deserves respect).

 

Oh stop already. This thread is the most traffic M\A has had in a while if you don't count the word assoc thread and the BS MF feeds.

It's open, leave it open, don't wuss out.

 

I agree voting is important, it's a civic duty bought and payed for by people far braver than me.

I can't vote lesser of two evils; evil is still evil.

It's why I'm voting 3rd party for president, straight republican for everything else....Yes, a third party candidate will not win, but enough 3rd party votes will have an impact; both parties will try to win them back. It's my only hope for genuine progress--for the republicans, who have lost touch with a substantial portion of various subgroups in our population, and for the democrats, who are subservient to a political machine that controls the party.

It's really low tide for both parties.

In a side note, this is one of the most civil discussions I've come across on the elections; who'd of thunk it would be on MA. In other words, if there was ever a thread that should remain open, this one would get my vote.

 

Except that you wouldn't want him to run the country the way he has run his businesses. A sleazy history of enriching himself at others expense, and so proud about "using the laws of the country to my benefit" (which are of course rigged in his favor):

Maybe I should write in Warren Buffett for president: http://fortune.com/2016/10/10/presidential-debate-donald-trump-warren-buffett/

 

Damn, reading your first statement made me realize that he is more of a politician than I thought. :frown2:

A couple of thoughts

War on women? The left started this 8 years ago to get women to vote for Obama. It seems to be centered on 2 things abortion and free contraception. The equal pay thing isn't valid as there are ready laws that say that has to happen. With a few exceptions I haven't heard any politician say they want abortion gone just limit the time. It is the number killer in some racial communities. I don't think my tax dollars should pay for either.

The republicans didn't give us Trump the people did. As already pointed out the Bushs aren't supporting him. He was crammed down the weak republican establishment's throut because a lot of us are tired of the donothings that run things. Time for a shake up.

Unstable or unpredictable. In business this is a good trait so the competition doesn't know what your going to do. In government it can be beneficial also so the enemy doesn't know what your going to do. With what's going on now we wouldn't have won WWII. Yes, it's not beneficial for wall street but then they have been doing their own thing for a while now anyway.

Hilary as pres and a republican congress make some people think at least things won't change. But they will, she has stated that the court should make laws not interpret them. She must have not paid attention during school house rock. Congress won't stop her for fear of being called names by the media.

The country is more divided now than 8 years ago. This was by design. A divided country is not a strong one and is easier to control the people. Create hate between groups and turn them against each other. It's not a new tactic. Trump has two elements he is against illegal aliens and terrorists. Not hispanics, not blacks, not women, not legal immigrants, not muslims.

My hat's off to the people on M/A and here on this thread we can have a political discussion with it dropping to name calling and personal attacks and at the end of the day share a beer together.

 

I too support the Constitution as well as the Declaration of Independence. Probably not as well versed as you but I would have to say no to your question. The difference between the time these two documents were penned and now is just that, time. Obviously things have changed, the country has grown, found success, bottomed out and at times been a voice of reason for other countries to emulate. IMO the real difference is that individuals like those that built this country are missing in our time. I'll rephrase that, they are not the ones serving the people or the interests of the United States. Our fore fathers had a purpose, IMO that purpose has been lost amongst those that lead this country. Yea the phrase "taking care of Americans" is usually in all of their speeches, everyone gets a worm and fuzzy, until those individuals get into office. Why is the United States giving away millions in aid to other countries when it has it's own problems? We as a country need to find our way.

The Clintons are no different. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewater_controversy People keep voting them into office:mad2:

 

Every day there shines a new light. This morning I flipped on a news channel thinking to myself 'let's see what's new on the political front today'. Low and behold there now appears to be a line-up of women who are waiting to tell their experiences with the Donald and his small groping little hands. I can't wait to find out what new discoveries there will be tomorrow morning.
