Moderators lazarus Posted December 20, 2015 Moderators Posted December 20, 2015 Ok. Is there someone who is NOT running that you think you would vote for if they threw their hat in?

CoAspen Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Politics is a series of compromises. The person running for President or any other office is supposed to represent a very large diversity of people, not exactly a possibility. Therefore as a voting public we have to make a decision on the candidate we feel/think/hope will do the best for the country as a whole, not special interests or just follow the party line. That is very difficult, but it is our only choice. To not vote for someone is to give in to hopelessness. The problem I see as of late is the losing party doing everything they can to stop the elected Presidents actions. The concern is to get their party back in power. Happens with both sides. Ideology is becoming the rule of the country rather than what is best for the country. pierrepaul 1 Quote
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted December 21, 2015 Members Posted December 21, 2015 I didn't say I won't vote. I've voted in every election for the past 40+ years. I'm saying at this point in time, *nobody* on either side has my vote. (I love and support my family, but I just can't see Jeb as President..) I also don't see a dark horse candidate in the wings who I'd vote for. I vote for who I think is the lesser of two evils. The main issue, in general, that I see with the Republican candidates is a "shoot from the hip" attitude on a lot of things, including immigration and terrorism. The main issue, in general, that I see with the Democratic candidates is a lack integrity. I don't trust people who have a "shoot from the hip" attitude, nor do I trust people who speak "with forked tongue".... Just my opinion....

CoAspen Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 We are in agreement, wasn't suggesting you wouldn't vote. A statement in general because people do give up and don't vote. What percent of the population actually vote? and then it only takes 51% of that vote to win. Only 25-30 % voted for the person who wins? That is a tough job. rudywoofs (Pam) 1 Quote
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted December 21, 2015 Members Posted December 21, 2015 Agreed, CoA! People need to vote!

Moderators lazarus Posted December 22, 2015 Moderators Posted December 22, 2015 I feel like Trump is working to elect Hilary. Maybe Trump and Bill did do a deal.

CoAspen Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 For all the hue and cry about telling the truth.......why is Trump failing the "truth test". Takeing a look at the political truth checking sites, he fails miserably! I guess the truth for his followers is what ever he says it to be...talk about dysfunctional! Quote

Aliensanctuary Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Throughout the ages, political candidates, and kings, have made empty promises that they cannot keep. Quote The Parable of the Lamb and the Pigpen https://www.createspace.com/3401451
Members phkrause Posted December 23, 2015 Members Posted December 23, 2015 I don't see them making empty promises, what I see is most if not all make promises that people want to hear and than they get voted into office and run up against the other party that is not willing to help, even if it is the best course of action. I don't see this changing any time soon, only getting worse, and more and more lies being thrown out about there opponents. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Moderators Bravus Posted December 23, 2015 Moderators Posted December 23, 2015 To some extent, although there are an awful lot of 'we will cut taxes to zero but build the mightiest army the world has ever seen and wipe out the budget deficit' promises, for example, that are simply not compatible with reality. In that situation, it's not the opposing parties, but that politicians promise what no-one can deliver. Tom Wetmore 1 Quote Truth is important
