Very true. You can polish a turd all you want, but it's still a turd. When I last updated my voter registration, I also removed my registration with the Republican Party. I wouldn't want to be seen in the same room with 95% of them anymore.Quote:

It also really bothers me when people complain about their elected officials, but then follow it up by saying they didn't vote.
BY the people, OF the people, FOR the people.
Don't feel bad for voting for the candidate you feel will do the best job. I voted for Ross Pero when he ran for president. He made a lot of sense. His prediction of the "sucking sound" as our jobs left the US became VERY TRUE!!Quote:

My generation is killing this world in the name of political correctness, "open mindedness," and their desperate desire to take a stand for anything, even if it has adverse effects and goes against their core ideology. They want to be popular, not right.
Politicians nowdays promise one group one thing and another group the exact opposite! Then, so as not to piss off either group...they do NOTHIG!!!!
So Trump commits a gaffe with his asinine comment about John McCain, and now the other GOP candidates are calling for him to drop out. Of course they are. He's leading in the polls. Tell ya what...Rick Perry, allow voters to decide.
Trump needs to keep talking, but he doesn't need to be POTUS. The other candidates need to learn from Trump that Americans want to hear Hillary called a loser. Obama needs to be called a Marxist. Quit being so nice to these creeps. It doesn't turn people off like the media says it does.
Yes, the media consultants for each candidate are all from the same school except they coach liberals in a different way than conservatives. Trump is his own consultant.Quote:

For the most part, I agree; however, it does turn off people. Maybe not those on the right who will vote for a Republican no matter what, but people who vote for a person rather than a party.Quote:

Republicans need a black guy who plays basketball smokes cigarettes, has some swag and talks like Trump. Charles Barkley or somebody like that. The special interests will still run the country.Quote:
