Another reason I'm not buying into his candidacy.
He hasn't planned for this-- I'm surprised how little has been aired
about him... I'm sure he's done far worse than what we've heard.
(God knows they both have).

And kudos to a very thoughtful thread about politics. You guys didn't even call each other nazi cows or commie scum. There's hope in this world and I'm proud of you. ❤

Black socks and all! 😆
Posted by GetMistedI usually vote third party. I'm just afraid that this time around it'll bite me in the ass.
The majority (not all) of Republicans (especially those I know which is a lot, surprisingly).. Do not even realize there are other candidates running besides Trump and Clinton. All the while, myself, and many other registered Dems are struggling with who to vote for between Hillary and 3rd parties.
It's frustrating to me because I enjoy discussing policy and the majority of my conversations with Republicans come down to character issues with Trump and Hillary.
Better the devil you know...
Registered Green Party, ftw
Yeah I only have Trump supporters mostly and they look at me sideways when I want us to actually be a free state. "We're not?"
My Hillary friends would rather say "cuz she's cool and girl power."
I need an island to move to before these folks start WW3 and another civil war. Sigh.

This is why these type of topics were always better kept secret from other people. Older generations didn't discuss these topics with random ass people. The system failed when people started debating their own stupid opinions when really no opinion is actually correct anymore. That's the fault of the media and the internet. It gives too much information. So much to grasp even one thing is like a fragment from whole picture. It tries to completely masks the fact its all fucked. You can only patch and tape something for so long till its all broken and on the floor.
So your not gonna tell us your success rate at asking women if you can photograph dat ass while at the beach? Give me a number? How many times out of 10 for example.

If you look at US policy since probably HW Bush, there's been little or no difference between presidents besides the occasional random social program. There's no difference between the two parties any longer.
I truly believe the Affordable Health Care Act is a huge motivator in voting for Trump. It's a program that should have been flushed. The outrage over it alone are enough to push some to more "conservative" ways...
Overall I see a lot of similarities too!
Biased media, lies, scandals, personal profit, public agenda, feeding of parasitic lobbyists. Total optimist can you tell? I have no faith in either.
I haven't read anything past this.
I don't have the stamina to read through all these pages.

Posted by HareNot in California.Posted by sultrykittyAgain... Federal law prohibits federal funds to be used for abortions. PP abortion services operate under a completely separate budget than the rest of their operations and rely on patient payments and donations from private corporations.Posted by HareAh.. Of the many Evangelicals I know, none actually support the bills you speak of. I don't dispute they exist.Posted by sultrykittyFederal law already prohibits federal funds from being used to fund abortions, so that argument falls flat as well. Evangelical attempts to overturn Rowe Vs Wade or limit access to contraception or force abstinence only sex education is simply a push to enforce their religious views on others through the government.Posted by HareRights? Are you talking abortion? Yeah, I'm pro-life. If a woman wants to kill her baby, it's not a "right", but she can make that choice. Just don't make me pay for it, or pay for the doctor who performs it, or the agency that provides it. IME, abortion hurts the woman as well.Posted by sultrykittyThat argument falls flat when they continuously fight to strip women of their rights.Posted by HareThe people I know *are* Evangelicals. I'm not. From their perspective, they honestly don't care what people do with their bodies, or with God. They just would rather not be forced to agree with it (by government fiat).Posted by sultrykittyThe Republicans have had plenty of opportunities to nominate a Libertarian leaning candidate. However they made a pact with devil (ironically... Evangelicals) for votes and without those votes they don't stand a chance in a country with a rapidly changing electoral demographics.Posted by Hare
Your friend is describing a policy closer to a Libertarian policy.
I would gather that a lot of Republicans actually leam much more libertarian than is believed, if you don't listen to media spin.
Everyone I know who is a staunch patriot has "R" as their registration but would vote "L" of someone who could win would run.
But they would still be for strict border control, and probably more conservative socially (in belief, not necessarily policy).
Meh.
PP is the largest provider of abortions (among other things , I know), and receives federal funds.
Even The Grand Imam of the Christian Republic of Indiana Mike Pence came up empty when he investigated PP for using federal funding for abortions in my state. The assumption that PP is running a shell game and shifting funds around has been proven false time and time again.

I agree with her on the individual rights which are the MOST important to me ...
so you said that you work for an insurance company? me too! soooo you really don't believe there was ANY benefits to the aca? not even one ...
we had a meeting today about how we will be limiting our exposure in the market place b/c we aren't getting the subsidies that the government promised us ...the reason we aren't getting those subsidies is cause the senate (majority republican) at the time sued obama and said that he didn't have the authority to say that the government would help pay subsidies (even though) he filed the motion and it was approved by the senate -_-
why do you like trump ...or better yet pick an issue of the website and lets talk about it 🙂

okay ...so here the deal...I was talking to my capricorn friend ...and even though she supported trump in the beginning she is fearful that trump will destroy their whole party ...specifically with the last scandal of the tweets of well respected republican Paul Ryan and John McCain ...
In a couple of Tuesday morning tweets, Donald Trump attacked Paul Ryan and the Republicans who have abandoned him. In one he tacitly acknowledged his slip in polls, saying that “it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support.” The other referred to “ineffective and weak leader Ryan,” who “had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty.”
Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll), it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support!

Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 11, 2016
The very foul mouthed Sen. John McCain begged for my support during his primary (I gave, he won), then dropped me over locker room remarks!
-Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 11, 2016
do you guys feel as though donald trump is well with in his rights to air the party dirty laundry on twitter, if the party isn't loyal?
Wouldn't you?
No, there's some good evidence that a consultant to Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney (Dan Senor, I think his name is) is the one who leakedd the Access Hollywood video. It isn't that it was leaked that pissed him off, I'm sure it's *who* leaked it.
Republican establishment types are as crooked as the rest, and they don't want Trump. Believe me, it's not because they're outraged at his behavior. He's never been "one of them". The Republican party has been abysmal as far as being effective for the last 8 years and where most conservatives are concerned, the party is already dead.
so can I ask you question ...what do you think could revive the republican party?
There isn't really an R or a D anymore. Some are calling it the Uniparty. Public talk of difference, but none on actual policymaking. There are rumblings of the Republicans going the way of the Whig party (has been for decades, but this may be the tipping point).
At this point in our history, I think it's going to basically end up being the statists/globalists (regardless of party affiliation) vs the independents/nationalists (not as in "socialist nationalism", but those who are wanting to retain national sovereignty and to preserve the Constitution's original intent).
personally I feel like the republican party has a IMAGE problem ...there is an undercurrent (unspoken) that the party is a party for white, middle class/and or rich,straight, christian, educated individuals
truthfully the republican party needs to focus on the VALUES and also make an deep effort to include people of color, gay people, the poor ...these groups of people can relate to the VALUES just like anyone else ...
the democratic party makes sure that everyone feels accepted in the party ...
No offense, at all. I just know from a long time online how these things usually deteriorate. 🙂
There's a LOT of conditioning that creates a perception, and it starts really early. I grew up in a conservative family, and went to public schools. This was in the '70s and '80s, and we got the earliest versions of anti-conservative values taught to us either directly or indirectly starting in grade school.
I know that it has gotten progressively moreso since I left.
Unless you have other influences questioning what you're being told, it's very easy to have perceptions permanently formed.
Let me ask you, why do YOU think there's a perception that Republicans are mostly old rich, white men? Were you aware that for much of American history, blacks were overwhelmingly republican?
Yes it was overwhelmingly black, before the parties switched platforms. Why do people always leave this historical fact out. The Republican party of today, is the democratic party of before 1960.

Sure, you can name one or two people who switched parties over the years, but there's nothing in the historical record to suggest the assertion is a "fact".
"As a result of unrelenting efforts by Democrats to shift their racist past onto the backs of Republicans, using the mantra: "the parties switched sides", a lot of people have requested an article addressing this issue.
It does not make sense to believe that racist Democrats suddenly rushed into the Republican Party, especially after Republicans spent nearly 150 years fighting for black civil rights. In fact, the racist Democrats declared they would rather vote for a "yellow dog" than a Republican because the Republican Party was known as the party for blacks."

Posted by LadyNeptuneI'd say if I honestly tried, none. Only because who the fuck goes around asking people if they can have an ass shot? Maybe as a joke with a camera recording for cringe/shock value. I'm actually surprised you're still going on about this. I mean fuck this isn't the 90's. If I wanted to creep on women and their ass shots I'd hit up dating sites and Facebook where that stuff is effortless to find and free. You just want to make me look like a loser, which is totally fine. Your opinion on me or what I like matters little to me. In reality though the men who are honest about their sexual attraction will find more sex in their life. Lots of women like a honest man that isn't afraid to take risky moves for what he wants.
So your not gonna tell us your success rate at asking women if you can photograph dat ass while at the beach? Give me a number? How many times out of 10 for example.
Curious minds want to know.

Posted by GetMistedPosted by sultrykittyWhat about cooperate bailouts?Posted by HareNot in California.Posted by sultrykittyAgain... Federal law prohibits federal funds to be used for abortions. PP abortion services operate under a completely separate budget than the rest of their operations and rely on patient payments and donations from private corporations.Posted by HareAh.. Of the many Evangelicals I know, none actually support the bills you speak of. I don't dispute they exist.Posted by sultrykittyFederal law already prohibits federal funds from being used to fund abortions, so that argument falls flat as well. Evangelical attempts to overturn Rowe Vs Wade or limit access to contraception or force abstinence only sex education is simply a push to enforce their religious views on others through the government.Posted by HareRights? Are you talking abortion? Yeah, I'm pro-life. If a woman wants to kill her baby, it's not a "right", but she can make that choice. Just don't make me pay for it, or pay for the doctor who performs it, or the agency that provides it. IME, abortion hurts the woman as well.Posted by sultrykittyThat argument falls flat when they continuously fight to strip women of their rights.Posted by HareThe people I know *are* Evangelicals. I'm not. From their perspective, they honestly don't care what people do with their bodies, or with God. They just would rather not be forced to agree with it (by government fiat).Posted by sultrykittyThe Republicans have had plenty of opportunities to nominate a Libertarian leaning candidate. However they made a pact with devil (ironically... Evangelicals) for votes and without those votes they don't stand a chance in a country with a rapidly changing electoral demographics.Posted by Hare
Your friend is describing a policy closer to a Libertarian policy.
I would gather that a lot of Republicans actually leam much more libertarian than is believed, if you don't listen to media spin.
Everyone I know who is a staunch patriot has "R" as their registration but would vote "L" of someone who could win would run.
But they would still be for strict border control, and probably more conservative socially (in belief, not necessarily policy).
Meh.
PP is the largest provider of abortions (among other things , I know), and receives federal funds.
Even The Grand Imam of the Christian Republic of Indiana Mike Pence came up empty when he investigated PP for using federal funding for abortions in my state. The assumption that PP is running a shell game and shifting funds around has been proven false time and time again.
But really, as you mentioned today, this isn't a pivotal issue for me. The principle is the same whatever the topic, as far as I'm concerned.
Do whatever you want with your life, and I'll do with mine. Just don't come to me picking my pockets for a bailout when you fuck up.

I mean what I say. 😉 The markets being propped up by government is the absolute antithesis of a free market and all it does is delay the inevitable, which means a BIGGER fail that hurts more people when (not if) it goes.
Let em fail, and 10 more companies will fill the gap, and that's how growth happens.
Posted by GetMisted^^^^^thisPosted by RosaknowsyaTrumps so called aspirations to bring businesses back to the US goes against everything he's learned as a businessman.Posted by Cancan26Posted by Rosaknowsyaokay so here is a website that is netural about the candidates (which was really hard to find lol)
@cancan26 why do you like her? I forget her policies.
http://presidential-candidates.insidegov.com/compare/40-70/Hillary-Clinton-vs-Donald-Trump
I agree with her on the individual rights which are the MOST important to me ...
so you said that you work for an insurance company? me too! soooo you really don't believe there was ANY benefits to the aca? not even one ...
we had a meeting today about how we will be limiting our exposure in the market place b/c we aren't getting the subsidies that the government promised us ...the reason we aren't getting those subsidies is cause the senate (majority republican) at the time sued obama and said that he didn't have the authority to say that the government would help pay subsidies (even though) he filed the motion and it was approved by the senate -_-
why do you like trump ...or better yet pick an issue of the website and lets talk about it 🙂
Ok!! Lol I like games.
I don't work for an insurance company, @getmisted does. I work in healthcare at a small private office.
President Obama did have an appetite for talking up the ACA and a lot of his claims fell threw. "If you like your insurance you can keep it."
And I don't like Trump or Hillary btw. Lol.
But what I do like about Trump is his so called aspirations about building businesses and big corporations HERE in the USA by lowering corporate taxes. Ford is leaving, didn't Nabisco (the Oreo peeps) relocate to Mexico? Point is, small businesses are the heart of servitude in communities.
I'll check the site out now.

http://factmyth.com/factoids/democrats-and-republicans-switched-platforms/
The American political parties, now called Democrats and Republicans, switched platforms, ideologies, and members many times in American history. These switches were typically spurred on by major legislative changes and events, such as the Civil War in the 1860’s, and Civil Rights in the 1960's.
http://us-presidents.insidegov.com/stories/3613/republicans-democrats-switch-platform
So when did the switch happen, and why?
According to Dr. Eric Rauchway , an American History professor at UC Davis, the switch happened somewhere between 1872 and 1936.
One of the largest shifts in voting patterns occurred in 1964, during what many scholars call the Southern realignment–when white Southern voters, likely motivated by race, abandoned the Democrats to vote for Republican Barry Goldwater. Other scholars say that it wasn’t race, but an up-and-coming generation of Southern voters joining the Republican party who shifted the tides.From the linked article:click to expand
"Democrats condemn Republican President Richard Nixon for his so-called "Southern Strategy." These same Democrats expressed no concern when the racially segregated South voted solidly for Democrats for over 100 years, while deriding Republicans because of the thirty-year odyssey of the South switching to the Republican Party.
The "Southern Strategy" that began in the 1970's was an effort by Nixon to get fair-minded people in the South to stop voting for Democrats who did not share their values and were discriminating against blacks. Georgia did not switch until 2004, and Louisiana was controlled by Democrats until the election of Republican Bobby Jindal, a person of color, as governor in 2007."

I'm not calling the Republican party racist, both parties are guilty of that. My point is blacks left the Republican party because the ideology and platform switched. So when people say...republican was the party of blacks, I'm like yeah when we agreed with their ideology.
Once they started acting like dixiecrats we left. And when we joined the democratic party, the dixiecrats went to the republican party. That's what caused the shift.
And the part you quoted still doesn't change the fact that the parties switched platforms. Republican party used to be progressive, and the Democratic party conservative. Now it's vice versa.click to expand
The first question is really more relevant to your point (rather, the professor's point). I'm not surprised that you aren't answering.
"Progressive" and "Conservative" have little meaning in the conversation because their modern connotations imply particular values, and what they "mean" is completely dependent on the speaker's perspectives.
