Rand Paul was one of the few Republican candidates that I had a small amount of tolerance for, and I mean very small. He lost that when he jumped on the "let's kill Planned Parenthood" hysteria which started due to an edited video.
Republicans seem easily fooled by fake videos. They killed ACORN over a fake video too. ACORN advocated on behalf of low and moderate income families. To Republicans, this meant poor black urban Obama voters so they destroyed the organization even though it never broke the law and the video of them "helping" prostitutes evade taxes was bullshit. So, repulsive Republicans are once again crusading based on lies. Can we just hold an election between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders? Winner becomes President, loser becomes Vice President. Republicans have proven they are not mature enough to govern.
I can understand that Edgar, I tasted a little vomit as I typed that post
Taste any different than other bodily fluids? The lack of respect you have reflects badly on your character. Just saying.

I recall the way the Liberals tried to pretend that the US Army was committing war crimes when Wikileaks did the same sort of editing hatchet job with the video from some helicopter gunsights.

Of all Republican hopefuls, John Kasich, who announced his bid yesterday, is the best of a bad lot. Kasich has as much experience and an equal or better record than the other governors running, and more experience in government than the rest of the field combined. During his governorship he moved Ohio from 48th in job creation to eighth (second in the Midwest), halved unemployment to 5.2 percent and increased income by 9.8 percent. Poverty fell three times faster than the national rate, helped by a Kasich initiative to adopt a version of the earned income tax credit, which makes work worthwhile for fast-food employees and hotel maids.
I dealt with Kasich when he was a congressman from Ohio and headed the Budget Committee, and found him to be honest, forthright, and willing to listen and change his mind if the arguments were against him. Although a social conservative, against abortion and for the death penalty, Kasich has accused his party of waging a war on the poor, and has spoken up for immigrants. He has argued against repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and has taken Medicaid expansion dollars. According to Bloomberg, when Randy Kendrick, a major contributor and wife of the owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks, objected to Kasich's moral defense of aid to the poor, Kasich fired back, "I don't know about you, lady, but when I get to the pearly gates, I'm going to have an answer for what I've done for the poor." He hasn't been invited to a Koch brothers meet-and-greet since.
In other words, he doesn’t have a chance of getting the Republican nomination.
Marco Rubio clearly doesn't understand irony. He said President Obama lacks class. He made these comments on Fox & Friends, a show seemingly hosted by 3 paint huffers.
He actually pointed out that Obama took a selfie stick video as if we should all be disgusted that our president used a camera attached to a stick and didn't this jackass chug from a water bottle on camera at a weird moment? He shouldn't be giving class lessons.
Our political campaigns are a farce. I'm so sick of that bloated moron Trump I have a vein throbbing in the middle of my forehead, and concealer and makeup can't cover it. That self-important asshole gave out a senator's private cell phone because he couldn't handle being called a jackass. Wow, a great temperament for a President.
He always reminds me of the kid in high school drama class, pathetically, obviously over-acting.

@edgarblythe,
Of all those running for the Republican nomination, I like Kasich Best, but it is kind of like saying, which body part would you like to have amputated.
No, I'm not going to run down your links for you. Either defend your allegation yourself or you can't and it's of no significance. If I'm having a debate, I cannot allege something and then refer my debating opponent to the library to see the truth of my words.

I guess that's the kind of thing one says when one doesn't have an actual argument.

I am not required to pore over links to support your claims. You are required to support your claims. You implied that America has rigged elections. Support your argument yourself in your own words or you can't and you lose.
