Pence is almost as awful but not as public about it.


Well you can disagree with him on policy and what he did in Indiana. And I don't agree with him on every issue either.

But between Pence, Kaine, Hillary, and Trump, Pence is the only one that has the makings of a "US President."


What does that even mean?

It means that he's the only one of the 4 that appears "presidential."

Well you asked me "What does that even mean?"

So I assumed that you were referring to the part where I said "he's the only one that has the makings of a US President."

I don't understand the confusion over this...

That's a real conundrum for those who can't see it in themselves to vote for either because Johnson is really poor in too many areas to be taken seriously IMO and he has really fallen to pieces recently and looked truly awful. I can find areas of agreement with him and Stein, but I can't take them seriously as credible leaders.

Next time there will be better alternatives perhaps


I am voting for Jill Stein. I don't take her seriously as a credible leader either, but I want to use my vote to promote a third party and her positions are closest to mine (very liberal).

CharlesOakley wrote:If Hillary's emails bother you but the 22 million deleted emails during the Bush/Cheney administration – also on a private server - don't, I can't argue with that.

If Benghazi bothers you, and the 13 embassy attacks during Bush (where 60 people were killed) doesn't bother you, I have no argument for that.

If you think the Clinton's running their charity (a charity with an “A” rating with CharityWatch.org, that has 88% of its contributions going out to charity and not overhead and has a higher rating than the Red Cross and United Way) is a conflict of interest, while having no desire to know where Trump's money comes from – which is now from all foreign sources, because no US bank will loan him money anymore – AND if you had no problem with the conflict of interest with Dick Cheney running Halliburton and making BILLIONS during the war in Iraq, then I have no argument for that.

If you have women and girls in your life who you want treated with respect and don't have a problem with Trump's rampant misogyny, I have no argument for that.

If you don't find Trump's praising of Putin and Kim Jong-un alarming, I have no argument for that.

If you're OK with voting for someone who is against LGBT rights and has stated that his supreme court pick(s) could overturn marriage equality, I have no argument for that.

If you have no problem with someone who has gone on and on and on about Bill Clinton's infidelity while he has cheated on his first wife with his second and his second wife with his third, then I have no argument for that. ALSO, BILL CLINTON ISN'T RUNNING FOR OFFICE, HIS WIFE IS.

If the list of proposed Supreme Court nominees that Trump put forth doesn't scare you enough to crap your pants, I have no argument for that.

If Trumps history of racial inequality doesn't bother you. I have no argument for that.

If you have no problem when you hear Trump go on about how companies are shipping their jobs overseas and how he will stop this, while his suits are made in Mexico and his ties in China, I have no argument for that.

If Trump's use of his charity's funds to pay personal debts and buy paintings of himself don't give you pause, then I have no argument for that.

If you think that Trump's a good businessman and will be good for our county's economics, when knowing about how many of his companies failed, I have no argument for that.

If the charges of fraud on Trump University and the scandal of his “donation” of $25,000 to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, after which she stopped her investigation into Trump University don't bother you, then I have no argument for that.

If you buy into the smear campaign against Hillary and don't get that so many on the right have - and have HAD - a hardon to get Clinton for what... 30 years now? And have spent MILLIONS of tax dollars to get her on something and have gotten NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH, ZERO. 30 years of half truths, lies and some bat **** crazy lies (my favorite being the one where she has killed so many people that it would make Hannibal Lector seem lazy!) repeated incessantly until the gullible and uneducated take it as truth, then I have no argument for that.

If you aren't concerned to have a climate change denier in the White House, then I have no argument for that.

And if you think Trump is the better candidate, I have no argument for that either.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

I could not put it any better. Bravo.

It is bizarro time because I think there are people who enter politics now in their 20s or 30s who have almost no historical knowledge or grasp of basic civics. That is the only way I can account for that craziness.

Only other interpretations is it is like some version of being punk'd and the politician doesn't know it. Otherwise that guy would be trolling Harlem outright when the reality is they probably thought it was a good idea.

The country is becoming less intelligent and the kind of politicians we're getting shows it. There were always really dumb ones, but they seem to be multiplying now.

I totally understand and have no problem with that. Of the two I'd say she is certainly preferable to Johnson.

Well last I heard, neither Lincoln nor Washington were in the race.

So I guess I'm speaking in "relative terms" here.

You really seem more angry and hateful than Trump esp. with anyone that has a different opinion than you. I try to look past your posting BS but unfortunately, its hard to get by your annoying posts because you have a weird addiction to post so damn much on these political and social topics until they eventually get shut down with your help. But while you are on your Trump pedophile thing, you may want to consider changing your avatar since you hero Wyman is one of the more famous pedo's in the rock world. He was 47 years old when he started dating the 13 year old, who he married when she turned 18. She said they starting **** when she was 14 - which is 2 years under the low statutory rape laws of 16 in Britain. Not that we don't expect hypocrisy from people like you. At least obsessive erratic messengers like you help kill the message. Maybe you can find a nice avatar of some needy latinos.

It's cool. I'm not rooting for either Trump or Hillary. But the way I see it, this country is engaged in a "giant food fight."

Trump is a part of it. And Hillary is a part of it too. We need a president that acts like a grown up. That's all I'm saying.

Thanks for this, been looking for alternatives.

Cause right now is voting for what is worse, one for thier domestic views or the other for their global and past history.

Of the four on the ballot, I only see one who is behaving like a toddler. I still don't really know what you mean by "presidential" but if you're saying Clinton doesn't know how to behave like a grown up in adult company I'd have to say she does and she meets that particular criteria. Trump does not.

The BIG TIME republican donors are PISSED! They say that the GOP leadership should've cut ties with Trump long ago. The quotes are pretty scathing. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out on both sides of the fence.
