Because its a show to keep people entertained, it like a reality show. But behind the scenes they all pat each others back and take care of each other.

Big bank donations show Bush and Clinton are Wall Street’s favorites


It will be BUSH III/CLINTON II for 2016 and status quo for the next 8 years.

So are you going to vote? If it's same status quo, why waste your time?

In the immortal words of every 6yo girl everywhere: Let it go.

Let the facts go? and be like every other American ostrich who treats politics like religion and worships at the alter of the false left-right paradigm. No Danks.

There's more power in information than in votes anyway, unless you vote with your money and have barrelfuls of reserve currency.

So are you going to vote? If it's same status quo, why waste your time?

I won't be wasting my time voting in US elections any longer. But I will watch this election with much greater interest than year's past.

Having nothing intelligent to say, you post a picture to (I guess?) support your fellow partisan who is wrong?

Bravo. Further evidence of your stupidity is duly noted.

The picture said it all.

Like I care about your opinion.

Go get a room with michal1980, you guys would probably love each other.

Anyone think Romney could easily come in and look like the only sane and viable Repub candidate right now?

No I am not going to vote. Pointless when it is going to be BUSH III vs CLINTON II served on a cold dish.

They are just two sides of the same coin.

Clinton is not going to win unless Trump comes totally unglued. I estimate there are about 40 million Americans who didnt even vote in the last few presidential elections who will actually go and vote for Trump. It will be a total and complete landslide that will make people question wtf were these predictors smoking?

Rick Perry WILL be your next president.

Hugo still thinks Bush has a shot at the nomination.

He won it due to a timely message, an extremely motivated base, and increasingly favorable electoral college demographics.

Looks like in the end he turned out to be pretty great at making sound political decisions though, so we lucked out huh?

Those are good reasons and in addition, at the end of the Bush/Cheney admin even Repubs were looking for a change. Interesting that Bush is now polling very high among Repubs. Short memories.

Yes, it's perfectly clear that Sarah Palin will flip flop to the Democrats and then be elected the first Queen of America and family values.

Quoted for hilarity. Trump has a ceiling of what, 25%? No chance in the general.

If you think we've had a dysfunction in congress under Obama, you haven't seen anything yet. Hillary has already declared Republicans as her enemy. It doesn't work like that. It takes both parties to run congress. And Bill is back in the White House again, if she wins. That in itself is a quasi third term and should be illegal.

He just can't be her VP. ;)

I heard they're selling it OTC at most drug stores at hugely discounted prices.

The word is out that the FDA is calling it a hoax homeopathic salve that's supposed to relieve depression and panic attacks, but instead have proven to have deleterious side effects that mimic visions of grandeur, false hope and arrogance-induced dementia. ;)

That's because they keep applying it by using it as fap lube while watching the hearings on Fox.

They're overdosing on it. :biggrin:

#TRUTH. Unfortunately.

But I'm voting for Hillary because I'm against the actual Republicans.

And I'd rather have Hillary picking the next 3-4 Supreme Court justices and continuing to assure the ACA will survive.

Unless Bernie can pull off a miracle, it's just us & Hillary against the Republican 1%ers.

Sigh.


And this is exactly how corporate America is winning, by telling Americans they only have two choices the gutter or the sewer, and of course those in the gutter must be better because they haven't gone down the sewer yet.

This is the same way they destroyed the unions and now everything else.

That's all you've got? Hopefully the gop would be able to create at least eight or nine different investigations to ensure that doesn't happen.

The country is under attack. It is sad to say it, but those old fogies who were all ruffled over a commie invasion happened to be right all along. This is the red scare commie invasion everyone was so frantic about 60 years ago. 10% of my paycheck literally goes to immigrant welfare. And that number increases every year. 15% of my paycheck goes to buy frickin democrat votes. That is frickin outrageous. Immigrants do not assimilate like they used to. They come here, get on welfare, stay on it for life, and bleed honest working folks dry. And you idiot democrats support it. The facts speak for themselves.

You are sorely mistaken if you think the american people (the real americans, not the anchor babies of the commie invaders) are going to stand by and let a bunch of mexican immigrants flood into this country and bankrupt it in perpetuity. And since the commie invaders on welfare almost all exclusively vote democrat, that makes the democrat party the enemy. It is really the only issue of substance that separates these two parties ideologically. Before Trump, there was no differentiation between the two parties because the republican establishment is pro illegal immigration as well, for very stupid and shortsighted reasons. All you stupid braindead bloodsucking liberals are on the god damn wrong side. Click on the link provided unless you want to remain ignorant of the facts.

So what is your legal basis for claiming that is illegal? Or is this just more GOP bat-shit crazy lies you are mindlessly repeating?

And you have the enemy thing backwards. GOP has been gunning for both Clintons for like 20 years. IF there is a war, the GOP declared it a long time ago. May I point you to Benghazi!!!!!!!!! , how even the GOP admits all the committees are just to make her look bad?

Talk about alpha-level trolling. Pathetic.

Hillary being proud of Republicans being her enemy was not a wise statement. This 3rd term Bill Clinton talk is silly. Was it a 3rd Bush term upon his reelection? Would it be a 4th Bush term if Jeb wins?
