There is no room for bigotry and racism in the party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, Eisenhower and Reagan.
How much bigotry and racism is going on these days in the party of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Harry Reid?
Remember when Reid said that Obama could gain acceptance because he didn't speak with a "negro dialect"?
Remember when Hillary Clinton said that Gandi used to own a gas station?
Remember when Al Sharpton said that white people were cave dwellers, and Socrates was a " homo"?
Lol, there's a lot of selective memory going on when it comes to prejudice in this country.
COMMENT (and maybe a question for Abba):
The Third Party "solution" always mystifies me. I cannot understand why people would think that candidates and movers in a "third party" will be any less influenced by money that WILL attempt to influence anyone and everyone.
To suppose that the candidates of "third parties" are more honest, or less subject or influence, or less inclined to think first of self, family, and ambition...and secondly to "the people" than the folk involved with the major parties...
...seems incredibly naive.
What am I missing here?
That's fine, but your statement was still false.
The third party hope is that they will be different. That's all they have! Ask any one of their groups and they all think it's better than any other group. Ask any people running super pacs and they say their super pac is better than any other. Ask anybody looking to change the country and they say their change is better than anybody else's. Heck Trump said in his speech that his change WILL BE better than Obama's!!!! He actually went out and said that. After Obama, I learned to be very weary of any politician promising that type of all around change... It ain't going to happen!
In fact, if you look into it, whether it's due to low funding or desperation, third parties or their candidates are usually the ones who get into trouble. They are just lucky enough to not have a huge media presence that will make their stories known and their supporters are definitely not going to bring up how their guys constantly break campaign finance laws...
Why do we need a new party? The American people have proven they are too ****ing stupid to handle two parties, we need "The Party" with various candidates competing to see which can offer the masses the most free ****. The "conservative" party just nominated a big government, self identifying democrat... and the masses of stupid cheered.
Trump has offered to deport a bunch of people and built wall, and make Mexico pay for it. That would actually be free stuff.
Trump has offered that Ted Cruz's dad helped kill Kennedy too, you really think his word means anything?
No he didn't.
Donald Trump's Pants on Fire claim linking Ted Cruz's father and JFK assassination | PolitiFact"(Cruz’s) father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald being, you know, shot. I mean the whole thing is ridiculous. What is this, right, prior to his being shot? And nobody even brings it up," Trump said on Fox and Friends on the morning of the critical Indiana primary. "What was he doing — what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting? It’s horrible."
Doh!
Doh!
Yes, you have pawned yourself.
He clearly did not say or even intimate what you said he did."Trump has offered that Ted Cruz's dad helped kill Kennedy too,"
No where did he say he helped kill him.
So you pawned yourself and showed you like to spin reality.
No he didn't.He clearly did.
Should Republican leadership set aside all primary and caucus results, set aside Donald Trump, and start fresh at the Cleveland convention to select a Presidential and a Vice Presidential nominee? This could quite possibly split the GOP and make a Democrat Presidential victory more probable, but it would at least spare the Republicans the dishonor of nominating Trump. And yes, it would be possible within the party's rules. If Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell were to decide on such a course of action, a Presidential campaign season already the strangest in my experience would enter more uncharted territory. Your thoughts?
We agree there, Mod.
Most third party presidential wanna-be's get almost no scrutiny. No use giving them any extra publicity challenging them.
After the Goldwater disaster there was a purge of the nutty Bircher conservatives in the GOP and the only hope the GOP has is that happening again. This nation is less and less conservative by the day. We tried your way for 40 years and the results are not acceptable
Since I have no party affiliation, "my" way has never been tried.
If you mean anarchy (or Libertarian), I think Somalia is a pretty good approximation.
why do so many people assume libertarian = anarchy. anarcho libertarians are a small fringe subset of libertarian.
If you mean anarchy (or Libertarian), I think Somalia is a pretty good approximation. You strike me as more of a neocon though. You are certainly a corporatist in your denial of AGW..
Really? What governmental measures do you favor then? The only difference is connotation, with libertarian sounding far more positive than anarchy. Otherwise they are the same.
Because the electoral system we use requires a 51% of electoral votes to win or the election is void and more than 2 parties make that difficult. We need to change it to a straight majority vote before we can have more than 2 parties.
And that's why I'm opposed to the electoral college.
Would you consider the congressional district method of allocating EVs, as we still have in NE and ME, which was much more predominate before the Civil War.
GOPs in Pennsylvania toyed with this idea after taking over PA in 2010 to split the EVs that DEMs took in 2008 in winner-take-all. They backed off under National House pressure that feared the potential of losing House seats .
