Not unless Trump wins.


Republicans whined that Obama would destroy America and he never even came close to that. Sure, the ACA isnt working great, but it hasnt destroyed America.

I suspect their claims Hillary will destroy America are just as bogus. She's far from perfect, but she wont destroy us. She'll just lie, cheat, and steal.


It's death by a thousand paper cuts by one party that isn't a Democrat party of your parents anymore. It's more like a Quasi-Socialist party. If Hillary does get in there, kiss the 2nd Amendment goodby with her Supreme court picks. Kiss a lot of shit goodbye.

How does that math work? Obama let Bush tax cuts expire, that's trillions of dollars in improvement to the debt that would not have happened under a Republican. Is it some sort of tax cuts paying for themselves magical thinking?
Because Democrats spend a LOT more new money, and new taxes never bring in what you guys think they will.

Fiscally, the best situation is a Democrat President and a Republican Congress. Under Clinton I, the Republican Congress did an excellent job of not growing government. Yet as soon as Bush II was in power, those same Pubbies spent like drunken sailors. Part of that is that D.C. corrupts, so after a few years they all believe that they really are smarter and better and therefore the solution to all problems. But most of it is not wanting the other team to get credit for any new programs. Because Hell, they might work this time.

So are you voting for Clinton, given that the House has been Gerrymandered to the GOP?

Nope. For one thing, both the main party candidates are too loathsome for me to vote for, and neither is quite loathsome enough to make me vote against them, given the choice. For another, I usually vote Libertarian anyway, and I actually like the pothead.

I thought you were endorsing the idea of a Clinton with a Republican Congress, and the House is virtually guaranteed to be Republican.

He let them expire? Obama made 99% of the bush tax cuts permanent. I know the GoP walked away from that deal defeated with their heads held low like they lost when in fact 99% of Americans got to keep the "temporary" Bush tax cut forever. I'd chalk that up to a win. Unless of course the 1% that missed out are the only chunk of the population your party cares about anyways.

Okay, "dude." what ever you say. http://bfy.tw/8a2V

conner, conner, conner... you simple, little chump.
ISIS was born out of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. You won't believe this because it falls outside of your bubble. but most reputable sites agree with that timeline. Have another pizza, open another mountain dew, wipe the cheeto dust off your fingers and do some research.

And lets throw in the one of Jesus giving us the constitution for good measure.

Lest we forget they're the same party that gave us the Patriot Act which trampled the Constitution more so than any other Act in our history. Lets trade out due process for swift and wrongful action - Check!

Yes it is. You have no idea of the big F.U. that is coming to you. America has had enough of the parasites and are pissed.
You really are brain damaged.

Y'all have a great class action suit against the right-wing media demagogues who have been shitting directly into your skulls for the past 30 years.

I had to laugh when I saw that the Crazification factor has been proven again in this poll...lol! I would laugh like a hyena if Trump were to lose having garnered only 27% of the vote.

Look, I like him. We have to move on. There will be lots of afterglow. The Trump fascination will fade fast. Two months down the line, the Trump stories will be maybe 25% of what they are now. A year from now, maybe 5%. But there's no getting around the fact that this POTUS election has been a disgrace on the Republican side. There will be no erasing that from history.

As much as I dislike Obama's politics and I think he was a pretty awful president overall, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat over the two pieces of crap we're choosing from this time around. I'll miss having someone actually articulate and intelligent in the White House. Hopefully Hillary or Trump will just be a 4 year placeholder until we can get someone better.
