I'm a recovering republican for a few years now. Since Rand dropped out, I'll be voting Libertarian this year. First time I've voted against the party since Ross Perot. I'm not going to feel guilty about the outcome this time.
Although I did vote in the TN primary the other day. I voted Rand.
Welcome, hope you stock around.
I've read his book, it's as empty as his speeches.
I will not, and can not vote for "President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho"
I am in the ' I-am-in-love-with-being-in love' phase of this political cycle. I can cool off fast enough.
As for the Federal level a blank spot with no write ins leaves no vote to be given to the winner take all fascists and strengthens the 46% in the so called available voter pool who are in the disenfranchised party ...and leads to a counter revolution. Completely legal.
But that is the only reason and if my local state rules still allow the left to get my vote then I don't register at all.
And buld the 46% to 56% and 66% and higher until the sound of no taxation without representation and Republicans and Democrats are no representation is heard once again.
Until there is no one in line at the recruiters door and the draft is activated and then destroyed once and for all.
Until the truly wealthy are denied the write to cast their vote and yours with their check books claiming it is free speech when they have stolen yours.
Until the ACLU is listed as a subversive organization along with their bought and paid for judges. who change the Constitution without Amendment.
Until the supporters of the left are all that is left to pay the bills and find themselves under attack.
Or perhaps until the military remembers their oath of office and starts by purging their own ranks of bought and paid for careerists.
Not much to ask for..And not one word violates any law...if you are a Constitutionalist. Of course under the Patriot Act anything is a violation. The Economy size one size fits all final solution so why worry about it when you are already convicted and just awaiting your turn.
Ross Perot quit his presidential-run because a tabloid paper was going to run an article suggesting his daughter was a lover of Madonna's. Mr. Perot didn't want his family smeared.
It's hard to believe such nonsense once matter.
That sort of thing wouldn't phase Trump in the least. He has no shame.
When Trump mentioned Steve Wyn was at his rally last night, that sealed the deal for me. When Steve Wynn appeared on FOX a couple years ago, Mr. Wynn made quite an impression on me. I fell in love with the guy on the spot for voicing all my complaints with the current administration so perfectly.
I'm absolutely loving Trump. Let's kill the PC narrative before it kills capitalism. We can fight over policy later.
I haven't heard him say he is in favor of seizing federal land for the sake of seizing federal land. That, as far as a know, is what Cruz keeps saying. I don't think Donald believes in seizing anything without an insatiable desire to make something from it. I'm willing to read any link you may have that suggests he is in favor of this land-grabbing for the heck of it.
The issue of federal lands in the west is completely different. Cruz is not saying that they will be "seized" under any kind of eminent domain, but that they properly belong to the States within which they lay.
I think the ride is over anyway. It was fun while it lasted but his Trump University troubles are going to derail him. Rightly so, I think.
My problem will be that Ted Cruz nor Rubio will get my vote if Trump turns out to be unsuitable. Actually, it's their problem not mine.
Instinct was replaced by reason for humankind and possibly some forms of animals.
Who says I can't use the tactics of the left to demonstrate points?
Instinct is a euphemism for emotion. we don't deal with emotion in addressing reality. That's for TV shows
Rational?
Fascism as political party is left of center also known as National Socialism.
fascism as a tool of the left means complete control by any and all means
State Economics AKA Fascist Economics is defined as Marxist Economics with a very thin patina of Capitalism
Complete fascism is common with National and International Socialists. It's there primary tool for existence. All leftist
What's the difference in degree?
Income Tax versus Gas Chambers?
That works.
The Center of the left was proclaimed by Socialists but even national socialism is to the left of that center. RINOS and socialist corporatist looters are left of their center.
The Center of of political discourse in the USA used to be The Constitution until Socialism moved it and began re training and re defining
Now it's the part of the Patriot Act which says arrest for suspicion of or suspicion of contributing to terrorism. with complete suspension of civil rights is OK. Not quite concentration camps though they have been talked about but a lot worse than income tax.
if you are a bit of a fascist you are a leftist...
the rest is as Nuremberg Defense.
none of that is emotiion, instinct or insulting prose...depending on how you see yourself
it's just facts
Nuremberg Defense is voluntary admission of guilt with a request for clemency
Class is out for the day which means Trumpeters and Clintonites
PS the attitude expressed defended Bubba Cute Butt Clinton and turned agains their violated sisters. by who...NOW for one.
It was more of a tongue and cheek remark because I do like the concept of 'the trains running on time'. but Lordy, Lordy, hallelujah -- without the PC police involved.
I may not vote for Trump; I like the idea of voting for him...I'm heading in that direction but there isn't anyone else that can get my vote if I reevaluate all the negatives going forward.
This is properly the first time in history that a former Presidential candidate who lost his race led to the defeat of the front-runner for his party in a following election. That is if Mitt Romney has his way.
We should all do that. It's the way we can actually better evaluate our thoughts and premises
1. Higher taxes. Trump openly has called for higher taxes on those in higher tax brackets.
2. Government-run healthcare. Trump speaks out both sides of his mouth when he rails on Obamacare because his next statement is that he still supports socialized-medicine - just not the same way as Obamacare. That's the liberal's typical MO: "well HIS version of it of course was never going to work but MINE will." It's narcissism.
3. Government taking lands from individuals for crony supporters. It's how Trump has built several of his casinos. Trump LOVES eminent domain abuse and has stated that he would absolutely use it as President.
4. Increased government spending. You won't hear a thing from Trump about balancing the budget or about trimming welfare programs.
Yes, Trump talks big on the Second Amendment and on the Border, but I can't support someone on the basis of those two ideas alone.
At least sanders is right out there telling us he will change the laws to enable him to steal more from us and funds his Venezuelan wacko programs
Cruz is a religious zealot into dirty tricks to win votes
Rubio is just too fast talking and slick for me. I bet there is something hidden in his religious zealotry we haven't heard about yet
The others aren't electable at sll
And I keep asking... has Trump BROKEN ANY laws that the Congress has enacted? Likely not, unlike the Clintons.
I STILL have a self-identifying conservative libertarian friend who admits to working the minimal amount of time to qualify for government benefits, insurance, pension, etc... working 3-4 months of the year at the IRS!
The rules are clear and he's taking advantage of 'em.
Seig me no heils comrade i do not serve the party
I will also support Cruz, if nominated.
GOD is not a bad thing, since our Constitution was based alot on the Bible.
No underlying principles other than do what ever it takes to succeed, no matter the consequence, no matter what or whom it harms.
That is the exact opposite of a creator of Value.
The Dems are in the process of anointing His chosen successor to King Oblameya (of course, criminally tied into the holy dynasty of slime)... And I hear from some people they will NEVER vote for Trump, no matter what...
Knowing that, given half a chance, the PTB will skew whatever they can hard enough to get Hellary in no matter what, and given the growing possibility of a primary between Trump & Voldemort, er, Clinkton, would you...
(a) Vote for Clinkton because you want to see Trump burn in hell...
(b) Vote for Trump because if you don't, we're guaranteed a Hellary/Sanders/Obama dynastic end to America
(c) Vote for a 3rd party candidate because, even tho they can't win, it is a vote for principle (or it looks good), or
(d) Shrug the election, and move to Fiji, er, never mind, Vanuat... nope, how about Haiti... er... Shrug somewhere?
