There will be no taunting when Hillary goes down
If she goes down she goes down. Will Powell and Rice go with her? With multiple embassy attacks and deaths and classified e-mails sent to their private accounts during their SOS tenures some of us are curious why Republicans suddenly feel the need to hold multiple hearings when it was previously a non-issue. Of course we all know the answer.

Are you talking about Condoleeza Rice, the Republican who was head of the National Security Agency when the 9-11 attack occurred, and Colin Powell, the Republican Secretary of State, who lied about WMDs to the United Nations, to "validate" the Iraq War. I just to make sure we are talking about the size and magnitude of Republican mistakes and Democrat mistakes. Got to watch out for "taint".

@Andy A - I figured it was because they were too embarrassed by their candidates, and/or have no sense of humor.

I would ask you which republican to vote for but I find "the lesser of 17 evils" exercise to be tiring.

I would consider a reverse trolley in this case. Kill 17 to save 1.

Never mind the taunting, what about the tainting? If she gets off Scott free, will you quit it with the tainting? Can you at least agree to that?

I was disappointed to see Rand Paul leave the race - someone I can respect if not completely agree with.
Me too. Rand could have captured the Ron Paul very diverse base, but he tried to distance himself and in the very end brought his dad back in. It was too late.

I campaigned for Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012, not because he was a Republican, but because he was/is a Libertarian trying to work with in the one party system.

Both parties are the Big Spender party; one spends on the war machine, one spends domestically to create government dependency. They are both spending us into currency collapse and a third world existence, but in the short term there will be deflation (gas prices for one).

For my politically interested friends, this first of a three part film is available free until Monday. It is called "A Very Heavy Agenda". It shows how the neocon influencers in DC shape policy in both Bush and Obama's administrations. With the Bush era it was under PNAC, Project for a New American Century. Under Obama it has been the Foreign Policy Initiative.

PLEASE watch this. It's not pro right or left, but you will more enlightened after watching it: A Very Heavy Agenda Part 1: A Catalyzing Event (2015)

I don't...I see no one worthy. The only guy I could lukewarmly get behind is Kasich and he's tainted as well.
I don't support any one candidate either. I know I will vote non-Republican as I do in all Presidential elections. If there was ever any doubt my decision is the correct one last night's GOP debate erased it. Watching the highlights I thought SNL had come on early. These clowns looked like first graders entering the stage and Rubio, my gosh, pathetic. Was there a pull string hanging from his back? The clear winner last night was Obama. Isn't it time for someone to tell these bozos he's not a candidate?

The Clintons have been persecuted for decades for political reasons. The other side will continue to try and get mud to stick to her. I would vote for Bernie and I'm glad he is getting serious consideration. Even if he is crushed by the right wing machine his message needs to be heard. Win or lose he will be remembered as an American hero. One day there will be a revolution. One day the moneyed elite will wish they had allowed political reform instead of facing the violence of a real revolution. Living behind walls counting your money is no way to live.

The erosion of America could continue for centuries without real revolution. But I believe we'll face such crises in the next 5 decades that will cause serious upheaval - disease, economic division, famine, poverty, sea level rise, natural disasters, terrorism - these are things that can cripple a nation and cause violence.

The circus that is this primary season reminds me of rats fighting on a sinking ship. The ship is steered by the corrupt system of our corporate-owned political system and has crashed into the rocks. Greed wins and we all lose.
Oh pity the poor Clintons! I am assuming you understand that Hillary is being investigated by the Obama administration? The real story about Hillary is her using her position as Sec of State to garner tens of millions of dollars from foreign entities for the Clinton Slush Fund. Oops, I meant Foundation.
