So, now the conservatives are getting their panties in a wad because liberals are not getting their panties in a wad about Hillary's arms dealing connections.


Who cares!  This is what our country was founded on.  The Clintons are better at it, and more supportive of it.  Bush was not a dealmaker.  He was not a business man. He was too simple.   Get over it.

When Bill was in office, there was more trade, more energy, and less poverty, because the Clinton doctrine is one of commerce above all.  Commerce that requires dealmaking, compromise, and yes, sometimes favorism.

Even though Hillary hasn't driven a car, been to a grocery store, or paid for a meal in almost 30 years, her (and Bill's) understanding of capitalism is still intact.  The Clintons are not liberal ideologues.  They need power, and understand that the best way to power is through the promotion of commerce. 

When asked, even liberals have a hard time listing any accomplishments she is responsible for as Secretary of State.  Bullshit!  As this report shows, she pumped $165 billion dollars DIRECTLY into the US economy in 3 years.  Now that deserves a bumpersticker.

After George W Bush giving the German Chancellor a massage while he was drunk at a state dinner a few years ago, I kinda thought we had reached a "peak" of sorts....

But no, the son of a Communist revolutionary whose daddy fought with Castro in Cuba - against the US - now thinks it is appropriate to take a cheesy cheap shot at Biden during his time of mourning.  Well, at least it is consistent with the MurdochianWorld psycho-babble BS nonsense....  He might just make a good President after all....he will at least be in alignment for the way half the country is.

The clown car is running amok!

However, while insisting he doesn't advocate "nation-building," Rubio seemed to define his policy as exactly that.

"It's not nation-building. We are assisting them in building their nation," Rubio said of his vision for Iraq.

Derp.

The term: "Big lump of maggot sh!t" comes to mind when I look at the bulk of the GOP field.

The whole quote "It's not nation-building.  We are assisting them in building their nation".  I was dumbfounded.

[heironymouspasparagus]

Well, Baby Bush declared it was already done - "Mission Accomplished".

Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney both assured us that the 450,000 man Iraqi army that we spent over a trillion dollars training and outfitting would the the "star" of the middle-east.

Colin Powell was ashamed to have been associated with the clown show.  He is the only one who was both right and honest about the situation once he got free of the "entanglements".

And now the recent clowns are making the mouthing sounds of how bad "low wages" are for the middle class.  And we need to get back into Iraq, since just a little bit more effort can only end in success!!  Half the people in this country believe these dipsticks.  There is no hope...all is lost...despair and ruination is at hand!!

So why is it there is so much effort to disenfranchise people in this country??  Well, that's the Republicontin thing.

I think Hillary just stepped it up a notch - make it so people are automatically registered to vote.  Unless they opt out.  Who woulda thought that a politician would advocate something that makes sense.  Kind of like how you don't have to opt in to have 'free speech'.  Or freedom of religion.  You can opt out of those if you choose - just don't exercise them.  Why would voting be any different??

If you are over 18 and a citizen you are registered.  Brilliant.

Even FOX news is looking at the GOP runners like they're retarded.

Has anyone read anything about any GOP candidate lately and thought, "That's our next president."?

I may not agree with them policy wise or want to vote for them, but Kasich, Rubio, and to a lesser extent Bush seem like intelligent, serious and honest candidates that want the best for the country. Christy too, but his temperament is all wrong. He's just an old school street bully from Jersey. Maybe Paul as well, but his father is such a class A loon and so plainly stupid that I always will be very wary of Rand. And really anyone named "Rand".

The rest, who are the ones leading in the polls, are freaken loons and liars. It's downright scary.

So were any of them "That's our next President."?

I certainly hope not.  There are some that I could understand being elected. There are others that would get me wanting to check into my Canadian citizenship options. See my grandfather was born there and was still a citizen when my dad was born. I may need to be outta here suckas!

I'm not overly thrilled with any of the "leading" options from either side so far.

I do have to ask, is "Gentle Ben" a loon or liar in your books?  Thus far, I've not seen anything which confirms him as a liar.  As far as some of his fundamentalist views, I wouldn't go so far as "loon".  My issue with Carson is the same problem I had with Obama: he has very limited leadership experience.  The crazy part is, I can't figure out the cult of personality surrounding this guy with the conservatives.  He's not as charismatic as Obama came off in '08.  Let's face it, everyone overlooked any limited leadership experience for a guy who was: "so well spoken, such a great orator".

I have to give Cruz credit for sticking to his guns and following through with campaign promises while pissing off the Republican establishment.  I admire him for that.  There is simply something really creepy about the guy I just can't stand.  It's like he's got a trunk load of bound and gagged cheerleaders.  Just cannot explain what is not right about that guy.

Hillary is no Bill when it comes to campaigning.  I honestly see no way she can win the general election as she is just too polarizing.  She does not exude excitement and she's got the "No more Bush or Clintons!" thing working against her.

Bernie?  Even less charisma.
