crapshooter - 2016-01-23 5:18 PM Obviously no one wants the job considering the jokers that are running.  Seriously this is like the movie Idiocracy, and the rest of the world isn't any better.  I'm glad I'm old.   

You and me both. We got to live our younger lifes when America was great. I feel sorry for the younger generation that they will never get to experience it.

Trump is the only candidate with a chance at beating Billary.  And if the GOP splits off there goes that chance, and we'll be stuck with her.  Palin's endorsement will hurt, not help Trump - he needs to not align himself with her.  The evangical and tea candidates ARE NOT ELECTABLE, so those factions need to vote for Trump or force us to endure 4 or 8 more years of garbage. 

killary.

The GOP will throw Trump under the bus just to get Hillary elected. They know she will play politics with them throughout her term and Trump will not. She might be Dem but they would rather have that than Trump.

The only thing left for the citizens to do is NULLIFY federal laws that aren't constitutional. That way it doesn't really matter who the president is or which party controls congress & it doesn't allow the supreme court to legislate from the bench! It puts the power back into our hands...through our sovereign states as intended.

crapshooter - 2016-01-23 4:55 PM I think both parties need to die.  And some sick part of me wants to see Trump in the white house with Congress trying to contain him.   
At least he would give us some good laughs..LOL



Right now we don't have a good candidate on either side. Actually, what normal human being would want this job?


 

I certainly agree with that, especially wealthy people past retirement age loaded with big bucks.  When I see that sick smile on Hillary Clinton's face, that "deer in the headlights" look I wonder why the heck are you doing this to yourself.

The basic problem in today's politics boils down to the "producers" and the "takers". The takers are interested in one basic, fundamental thing.....freebies. They are essentially united in that basic cause. Free money for not working, more free money for more children, free money for food, free money for healthcare, free money for childcare, free money for disabilities like depression and back pain, etc..... Meanwhile, the producers are the 50% who pay income tax. They are not united.
Too many people in this country are attracted to a system that can reward them, with benefits that exceed the rewards of working. The "takers" enjoy a standard of living that exceeds that of many "producers". The numbers of producers is on the decline, and the number of "takers" is on the rise. The only way to reverse this trend is to make being a "producer" so attractive that everyone is going to want to get in the game. It can be done, but the problem is our dysfunctional government and the career politicians who fight each other on camera, and hug in the back rooms. We need term limits to get rid of these career Republicrats.

One glaring example of how we can make being a producer very attractive is Social Security reform. A privatized SS system would virtually guarantee real retirement security to all participants.

How is today's politics any different than it was 100 years ago?  

Where there is power, there is corruption.  I see both parties as being so full of BS, that it is a complete joke.  Look at all the pork barrel spending on both sides, it is absolutely ridiculous.  Free market?  With all the government programs out there from farmers to energy companies, there is no free market.  Subsidies, grants, tax breaks, etc. etc. It's a shell game.   

Trump has no censure on his mouth, so you never know what the heck is going to come out. Palin keeps Trump in the news.  Though not sure why he needs her help, he's managed to keep himself  front and center with his constant off the wall comments.  He is his best advertisement!  Bloomberg joining as a 3rd party candidate will add a whole new dimension to the already crazy political season.  If you have a billion dollars, you can run for president?  How does that help the average American? How can he even begin to relate?

Hillary and Sanders?  Both are beyond poor choices for the Democrats and it boogles the mind that either/both are even running.  Dem party owed the Clinton's big, otherwise they would have actual viable candidates. 

And, when was the last time anyone in Congress departed as less than a multi-millionaire?  It's all about the $$ and power. Freshman congresspeople are immediately introduced to "rules" and comply like good little sheep.  It is no longer about what is good for America or her citizens and it hasn't been for a long long time.  

Anyone else think that the parties keep the masses arguing with each other to avoid the scrunity of their own actions?  It's a con game and it's worked for decades....

Though term limits sounds good, it won't work either.  Hasn't in CA, they just move to another government job and we are stuck with the same idiots.  And don't even mention Moonbeam, he was a disaster before, what were they thinking?  Nevermind, the voting masses don't think.  

You want jobs?  Not going to happen no matter who gets in office. Technology advancements are taking away 10's of thousand of jobs daily.  Heck, you can order a happy meal through a kiosk now.  They only need a human to cook the food.  Soon, that will go away too... 
Machines answer phones, money is handled all through electronic transfers, Iphones can do everything but ride your horse for you. and cars are driving themselves.  You want change? You got it! 

Back to Trump/Palin...  reality TV must be slowing down for her, maybe she needs a government job and is throwing her hat in the ring.  I wonder which cabinet position she will be appointed to?  

The entire process has turned into a circus and they are not my monkeys!

Politics itself hasn't changed a whole lot over the past century, but how government affects our lives certainly has.....tons. For one thing, the federal income tax rate was 1% on everything up to $20K, and the top marginal rate was 7% on everything over $500K, in 1915.
I'm not sure I would use any experiences in California to argue for or against term limits. The fact that 75% of Americans is in favor of term limits is encouraging to me. I can't think of a reason to oppose term limits. We have several members in congress who haven't seen a private sector job in decades. They don't even remember what it's like to live in the real world, away from their world of special privilege, where they needn't be concerned with ObamaCare or Social Security.
Your example of Bloomberg is proof that money alone can't win a presidency. Bloomberg's net worth is nearly 10 times that of Trump, but he is a liberal blithering idiot......and former Republican.
People keep squawking about how Trump is some liberal wolf in sheep's clothing. People don't give a dam. Trump's populist appeal lies in the fact that he is openly espousing ideas that make sense to most people, often times cutting across party lines and other divisions in this country. The last time congress was dominated by true conservatives was over 20 years ago when we had the "Contract With America". All these so-called "great conservatives" called upon by the GOP establishment to band together against Trump don't seem to be making any difference, because conservative citizens are fed up.
It's not just Republicans who are fed up. I think a lot of Democrats are disgusted as well. Democrats and Republicans fight during the day, and sip martinis after 5. They are like divorce attorneys who provoke fights between plaintiff and defendant....with a wink and a nod.

Plus the tariff rate was drastically reduced.  How many people made 20K in 1915?  Not many,  The modern tax system was born....http://www.taxhistory.org/www/website.nsf/Web/THM1901?OpenDocument



I'm not sure I would use any experiences in California to argue for or against term limits. The fact that 75% of Americans is in favor of term limits is encouraging to me. I can't think of a reason to oppose term limits. Unfortunately, CA is the only experience I have with term limits and it doesn't work here.  The politicians made sure there were loop holes and they just job hop. Same crap will happen at the Federal level, so I don't see this as an option that "works".



We have several members in congress who haven't seen a private sector job in decades. They don't even remember what it's like to live in the real world, away from their world of special privilege, where they needn't be concerned with ObamaCare or Social Security. Your example of Bloomberg is proof that money alone can't win a presidency. Bloomberg's net worth is nearly 10 times that of Trump, but he is a liberal blithering idiot......and former Republican. I mentioned Bloomberg as someone else brought him up.  If he enters the race as a third party, he'll get free advertising because of his wealth, just like Trump.  He's a different type of personality though. IF he decides to spend 1 bilion $, it changes the dynamics of the entire race, and then it becomes the battle of the billionaires.



People keep squawking about how Trump is some liberal wolf in sheep's clothing. People don't give a dam. Trump's populist appeal lies in the fact that he is openly espousing ideas that make sense to most people, often times cutting across party lines and other divisions in this country. Agreed! 



The last time congress was dominated by true conservatives was over 20 years ago when we had the "Contract With America". All these so-called "great conservatives" called upon by the GOP establishment to band together against Trump don't seem to be making any difference, because conservative citizens are fed up.  Agreed, the establishment - meaning those who hold the real power in the GOP party, have been caught off guard by Trump and his popularity. Even the democratic establishment is caught off guard. 



It's not just Republicans who are fed up. I think a lot of Democrats are disgusted as well. Democrats and Republicans fight during the day, and sip martinis after 5. They are like divorce attorneys who provoke fights between plaintiff and defendant....with a wink and a nod. Agree again. 



The establishment, regardless of party, love it when the populace argues amongst themselves. Democrates vs. Republicans.  It creates a division among the people, allowing the Establishment to set what ever course they desire.  The process no longer works for "The People" and truly hasn't worked for decades and decades.  It's all one big arse shell game... IMHO.

Term limits is one of the few highly popular proposed reforms that cuts across party lines. 75% of Americans want term limits. In fact, term limits for the Presidency is part of our Constitution, since FDR. The mere fact that congress has managed to avoid serious reforms regarding term limits tells me it's a good thing, just like their avoidance of serious Social Security reform is proof positive that it's a good thing. Just because the experience in California hasn't been good doesn't mean much to me. California is like a different planet, as far as I'm concerned.....weird, dysfunctional, and socialist.

The only way Bloomberg could effect the election would be to siphon off a couple percent from the Democrats. I don't care if he spent $10 Billion. He doesn't have enough savvy to attract free advertising. Trump would love it if he entered as a third party candidate. That's the only change in dynamics that we'd see.

Overall, I think Trump's entry into the GOP primaries has been a positive thing, even if he isn't my first choice. Even if he wins the nomination and loses to Hillary, it might be a good thing, because we will all get the ass kicking we asked for, should that happen.

My only concern with term limits are the pensions...on the other hand, maybe it would force the issue that we cannot afford it.
Some of you on here know that I'm a 'bit' of a 'rebel' against the mainstream due to the fact that I LOVE our Constitution. I've had to eat crow a lot when finding that what I thought was the rule of law wasn't...learning has been a constant!
The 'big mind bend' lately has been the realization that states have not only the right, but,the duty, to nullify laws that are not constitutional when the scotus fails to do so. I think many of us have blindly jumped over the power of the states. Me included. Until recently. We've come to believe that the Constitution is a 'federal thingy', that the scotus has the ultimate say. This is not correct. The national government was created by the original 13 states...the Republic is non-partisan, non-feeling. There are the 3 branches of government that exist to insure that the other branches continue to protect the rights of the people and the states.
The scotus is there to prevent congress and the president from breaking the rule of law. It was NOT created to 'interpret' the Constitution nor was it meant to legislate from the bench as is often done.
The Bill of Rights allows for states to make law in a democratic manner...that old 'mob rule' mentality that is so important! The real voice of the people. Especially when you consider that our Founders very cleverly instituted the 'commerce clause', which has been so horribly misconstrued! The commerce clause is very simple: It gave congress the power to regulate commerce "with foreign nations and among the several states and with the Indian Tribes"...but, when you look into the discussions and the intent concerning the states it very strictly prohibited the states from prohibiting 'competition' and taxing state to state, thereby encouraging states to be decent to the populance.
People were to control the states from getting out of line...through our direct vote and the fact that those elected are 'close' to us...(we know where they live!), and our courts were meant to be the venue where the people judge the 'intent' of our neighbors, our officials...etc.
The Tenth Amendment gives states the right and duty to nullify any law, rule or regulation that is not Constitutional. It is being used as it should be...why else does Colorado & Washington allow marijuana when there's a federal law banning it???? Because the states rule, as they should.
Please, look into it. There's an awesome website and an amazing young man who is so very 'up' on this, he's a patriot...and a very respectful one!
Get involved! Share with your friends...get it to your elected officials!!! All the way to our governors. You know, those officials we've been letting slide for waaaaay too long!

musikmaker - 2016-01-24 8:48 PM My only concern with term limits are the pensions...on the other hand, maybe it would force the issue that we cannot afford it.

Some of you on here know that I'm a 'bit' of a 'rebel' against the mainstream due to the fact that I LOVE our Constitution. I've had to eat crow a lot when finding that what I thought was the rule of law wasn't...learning has been a constant!

The 'big mind bend' lately has been the realization that states have not only the right, but,the duty, to nullify laws that are not constitutional when the scotus fails to do so. I think many of us have blindly jumped over the power of the states. Me included. Until recently. We've come to believe that the Constitution is a 'federal thingy', that the scotus has the ultimate say. This is not correct. The national government was created by the original 13 states...the Republic is non-partisan, non-feeling. There are the 3 branches of government that exist to insure that the other branches continue to protect the rights of the people and the states.

 I started following their FB page after you posted it a few weeks ago.  I half expected it to be some nutty dumbass deal like a lot of the patriot sites turn out to be, but I have been impressed.   Tara Ross is another one I love to read.  For anyone who doesn't know who she is, she posts stories from American history that are kind of like "the rest of the story" and delve deeper into what happened and why than the standard school text books. It's fascinating.  She is non-partisan, and when you read this stuff you get a new appreciation for what our govt was meant to be and how much we've been lied to.

I've been wondering why Fox hates Trump and once again there is a reason and it's because Rupert Murdoch (Fox News) and Bloomberg are for open borders and immigration and are involved in this organization and if you google it the website is a joke and states some real false hoods.

Partnership for a New American Economy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
Jump to: navigation, search
The Partnership for a New American Economy is a coalition of business leaders and mayors launched by Michael Bloomberg and Rupert Murdoch to influence public opinion and policymakers toward comprehensive immigration reform. "The partnership will enable Mayors and CEOs to demonstrate to policymakers the vital role that immigration plays in our economy by publishing studies, conducting polls, convening forums, and sponsoring public education campaigns."[1] Among other goals, the partnership will pursue Congress and the White House to enact legislation which will create "a path to legal status for all undocumented immigrants now in the United States".[2] The partnership will seek to influence "by publishing studies, conducting polls, convening forums, and sponsoring public education campaigns".[1]

And Breitbart just exposed something even more sinister: Murdoch is the co-chair of the most powerful immigration lobbying firms in country, the Partnership for a New American Economy (PNAE), which spent tens of millions of dollars pushing Marco Rubio and Chuck Schumer’s ‘Gang of 8’ amnesty bill in 2013. And guess who else helps fund that group? Leftist billionaire Georgew Soros, the principal funder of Barack Obama in 2008.

Something is truly rotten at FoxNews, and a viewer revolt may be just beginning.

I said this just over the weekend this was the GOP's with the help of the establishment media aka Fox News last stand against Trump to take him down.
