@Lash,
Lash, you are wasting your time. I am not ready to become hysterical over a candidate. It's clear you have a hate-jones going on for the Clintons, good for you. Personally, I don't like to let sheer emotion guide me, some do and they think of themselves as passionate about the issues. Just not my style, especially about an election that won't even happen until Nov 2016. We might be hit by a meteor so save your energy.

@glitterbag,
That was a really awkward leap to weirdness by you.

You limited your challenge to people who distrust Hillary to only the questionable issues that have cropped up around her. I reminded you and others of the legitimate and undeniable facts that prove she's untrustworthy - at least on issues voters care about in this election cycle.

What you do with that is up to you.

@Lash,
I'm sorry kid, I don't accept your certainty, not yet. I'm not advocating a candidate, and all I hope is that you and everyone else actually votes. It's unfortunate that you find different opinions weird, but at the end of the day, I still don't lose money or sleep.

I didn't limit myself to Hillary, but thats who you brought up. Just don't vote for Hillary. Just vote .

@glitterbag,
The chance of getting hit by a car is pretty high on the list of ways to end up with injuries or to get killed. Far greater than flying in an airplane.

@glitterbag,
Let's at least speak clearly. I'm not asking you to be certain about anything but what's documented as fact by several reputable news sources.

Nobody asked you to make a decision about who you'll vote for, but you neglect your duty as an informed citizen to pretend you don't know her publicized views and when they switched.

Why don't you settle down, stop attempting to hyperbolize my straightforward comments, and speak plainly - without the backhanded baseless insinuations.

Things are in flux. It's ok. Nobody's trying to pin you down. If you feel pressure to decide, it's coming from somewhere besides me.

Different opinions aren't weird. Wild, baseless accusations are.

CI - How lovely. I think I'll go to Hawaii. Never wanted to before. Suddenly, it sounds nice. Are you on Oahu?

Here's something that's quoted by several reputable sources:
Number of Full Time jobs gained while in office:
Bill Clinton......................................16 Million
Bush 43, (successor to Clinton)....... 2 Million

I expect that Hillary and Bill are on the same page on how to run the country, and that is just fine with me. I'm absolutely looking forward to another Clinton Presidency, because the first one worked out nicely.

People see things differently, it's apparent how you feel about the Clintons. That's you, and it doesn't affect me, I'm a little more complicated.

I think I was clear how I view the candidates, I think its clear you've made your pick. I don't want to engage you over anybody's pro's or con's. It's just not important to me this particular day. It's not clear to me why you think I'm accusing you of anything.

Oh, and your straightforward comments are your opinion. Be satisfied with your opinion and stop stressing that somebody else doesn't see things exactly as you do.

Are we done, please.

I had noted that earlier. It was just a wisecrack about his comment on the relative ridsks of flying of being hit by a car.

I didn't know many people had been hit by a car while flying.

Yes, we're in Oahu at my nephew's condo. It's on the 40th floor not far from the beach. The dining area windows looks out at the water.

@georgeob1,
That reminds me of a line from Bill Engvall's standup. (I have satellite radio in the cars) He told a story about landing on a runway in a small plane traveling to a gig (I forgot where) as the plane taxied down the runway a deer ran out and was struck by the plane. He relates it was such a surprise and shock that as things settled in, he called his wife to tell her he arrived safly, and excitedly tells her that the plane struck a deer. He said there was a pause, then his wife asks "Were you on the ground???" Now thats not dumb because airplanes and deer aren't usually mentioned in the same sentence. But, he's a comic, so he took advantage of a great straight line.

Another day, I think, to complete editing my daughter's manuscript (thank god I like it). I'll take a bit of time to toss in a few items I find in my morning reading. Then, tomorrow, as a true patriot, I will return in my leased red white and blue pickup truck with big guns and occupy this thread for the people. God bless A2K.

An oil refinery for the Nazis

As a political reporter for the New Yorker in Washington in 2010, Mayer knew a bit about David Koch and saw that the Kochs were beginning to fund the libertarian Tea Party movement. She set out to find out what was going on and contacted a Koch spokesperson, who denied any connection of the businessman to the Tea Party.

Mayer then turned up at a conference the Koch group was sponsoring, and discovered that they were giving seminars to the Tea Party people on how to become effective activists.

“I realized that there was a contradiction between what the party line was from the company and what they were doing politically.

“That piqued my curiosity, and I just kept digging.”

What Mayer found was, as she describes it, just the tip of the iceberg. She’d stumbled into the astonishing network of interlocking, nonprofit groups now known as the Kochtopus. Mayer said the brothers poured money into those groups to create “huge opposition to anything that was remotely progressive in America."

“It became a subterranean network that I was unearthing.”

And this is interesting. Haven't had time to do a thorough read yet. From The American Spectator (support conservative journalism, I do)

Quote:
Then again, a governmental take-over of the American health care system is a long time goal of American liberals, as it was of Harry Truman when he addressed Congress on the issue as he advocated a single payer health care system in 1945:

Quote:
Our new Economic Bill of Rights should mean health security for all, regardless of residence, station, or race — everywhere in the United States.

We should resolve now that the health of this Nation is a national concern; that financial barriers in the way of attaining health shall be removed; that the health of all its citizens deserves the help of all the Nation.


Truman’s 1945 speech on this came three years before he won the endorsement of someone named Ronald Reagan, who gave this speech enthusiastically endorsing Truman’s “principles” on radio in 1948, wonderfully preserving on audio tape Reagan as Bernie Sanders railing against corporations and a big oil company etc., etc., etc. I guess things changed. But like Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan too once believed in a single payer health care system.

@glitterbag,
No, we're not done, but I can see your MO is make some very broad complaint that Hillary Clknton is being unfairly maligned; list the complaints that are considered most unreasonable; and ignore the proven, documented and linked examples of why she's roundly considered untrustworthy because it doesn't fit with your tidy narrative.

In this case, you were right when you said talking to you is a waste of time.

Yesterday or the day before, Trump said something important. I know, I know. But he did. Re appearing on the Fox News debate and his influence on ratings, he asked rhetorically, "Why should I make money for them?"

And he does. It's why they've had him on Fox far, far more than any other candidate or any other political figure. But that's true beyond the Fox network.

What is important here is very important. The US has now evolved an election industry that makes billions of dollars every cycle, probably every year. If you'd like your representative to spend his/her time working for the citizens of that jurisdiction, you're mostly out of luck because of the time and manpower he/she has to spend on gathering money and involving themselves in the demands of this election industry. If you want election reform, then you're really out of luck because those billions are spread so broadly through the economy that continuation of this madness is incentivized so strongly.

Frankly, I don't see a way out. I think you guys are screwed.
