@Leo:

Just listened to Chelsea at the DNC. There has been a long questioned concern as to whether Mr. Hubble is her real father.

After this speech, I wonder if HRC is her real mother.

Lee, hold on to your hat!!! Hilary doesn’t have the election yet! you might be surprised!
Sarah Palin was as qualified as any one else, just what are the qualifying credentials? Having classified documents on a unsecure server a qualification? telling lies to FBI a qualification? Making her election about children… cause she cant talk about anything else…cause she has bungled everything else up. Is that a qualification?
Gotta do better than that Lee!

it wouldn’t be safe to have Every position in our government Democrats in our Republic. Too much power on one side. Just good common sense. We can prevent that from happening and should.

To Nora: Flags??? You’re worried about flags? Does standing in front of a flag make Trump qualified to run this country? The GOP gave up this election when they allowed Trump to bully his way into being their candidate, just like they gave up the election when pairing McCain with a completely unqualified candidate like Sarah Palin. The reason the GOP will lose this election is because they are so busy with turmoil within their party that they have lost focus.

I’ve watched all of both conventions so far. I think the GOP bombed with their message of doom and gloom, wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth. Their slate of speakers was anemic, though I imagine it was slim pickins’ considering there are many Republicans who declined to speak (or even attend). Trump missed his chance to clearly define what he’s said he will do, instead continuing with vague pronouncements that he has the answers, his changes will be huge, he’s the best at x, y, z, blah, blah, blah. In stark contrast, the opening night of the Democrats’ convention was uplifting, uniting, and positive. The following nights continued to bring home the message that we are ALL stakeholders in this country, that our principles are what make us great, and that the world still views ours as the greatest country that has EVER existed. Trump’s convention (and I really believe it was HIS convention, not the party’s) focused on bashing Hillary. The Democrats’ convention took the high road and focused on issues that affect all of us. Trump has had plenty of time to clean up his act if he’s serious about leading this country. If he were in school today he’d have already been expelled for bullying. Many employers would have fired him for inappropriate comments. If he were a college student, he’d fail because he exhibits such a poor understanding of our system of government. He seems intent on alienating people. He assumes that being rich (even if not to the extent he claims) qualifies him for whatever he wants, including becoming a dictator like the ones he so admires. Trump is trying to divide people even more because it is easier to divide and conquer than unite. The GOP is being destroyed by this goon.

Its a shame that republicans have to see a flag to be reminded of their freedom in America. Democats don’t need visual signs to know where they live.

REGARDING:
“The Soviet Union, much more unified as a nation than we are at present, fell apart when their Debt to GDP ratio was around 35%.”

The USSR, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, fell apart when its citizens realized it could not protect them from our military but that we weren’t a threat in the first place and that life as non-socialists was better than life in The People’s Paradise, socialism.

It began to accept dictators again only after President Clinton One presented us as a threat to them.

REGARDING:
” Citizen’s United must be overturned.”

It may be but it shouldn’t be.

Citizens United versus Federal Election Commission was correctly decided by the Supreme Court. They pointed out that governmental restrictions on political speech violates the First Amendment.

Those who want it overturned are trying to silence or at least limit speech on the part of those who disagree with them. This is wrong even though the biggest beneficiaries of it have been President Obama and Hillary Clinton. (Which is ironic since it came up in response to attempts to silence Hillary’s critics.)

Nobody should have to receive the permission of the government to disagree with the government — especially since Hillary will soon be running the government if she can stay out of jail and I have faith in her in that regard.

David for limited government
(at least until I become dictator)

Kate and Leo are not going to be happy, I’m pretty sure, come November. America has been thrashed by eight years of liberalism/leftism and the country is barely recognizable, let alone financially solvent. For those who don’t do their homework: The Soviet Union, much more unified as a nation than we are at present, fell apart when their Debt to GDP ratio was around 35%. Ours is over 100%. We’ve been SCREWED under the lib dems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes Facetious Bob, I agree 110%.
