Idiot logic.
Are you even literate, moron? I didn't say Ossoff is wonderful. I said he, even as this young man, is superior to these horrid turds holding elected office, and probably would even have been 10 even younger.

It is ok. We know you pray at the alter of Ossoff.

Did you know that he let the world know that 'sex slavery is not good?' What a hero! Get that man to Washington!

I agree, I think if someone came nationally and basically forced a system that automatically cut up every state evenly in sections, they would have a strong base behind them. Sure, many would lose their seats, but I don't know any other entity that could do it that wouldn't be bias in some way. I think this is something everyone can agree on, no one wants completely gerrymandered states and regions as it is now, it creates ideological extremism in regions of the country even when most states are 50/50 or within a few points. It also forces bipartisan efforts and makes sure probably many more seats aren't completely safe.

A different step I actually have felt is that the ballots shouldn't have the party affiliation next to the name. They should just have the names to keep the political bias out of the ballot, and force the people to learn something about their reps who they plan to vote for.

Instead of these bizarre comments that make you sound like you're 12, are there specific policies that Ossoff supports that you do not, or specific policies that the top ranking GOP candidate in the race holds? I haven't actually seen you discuss that. Do you vote based on who has the most entertaining TV ads?

I posted every policy stance of Karen Handel, which you've ignored. Do you support her policies? Or are you just a partisan cheerleader you keep accusing others of?

And Donald Duck would have been a better president than obama. It's all relative.

You want an independent entity when a republican is in charge but gerrymandering and changing the rules is fine when Dems are in charge. We get it.

Or derrick Watson - a liberal judge appointed by obama who thinks he has jurisdiction over everyone. Or the liberal judges trying to make the 1964 civil rights extend to LGBT. Judges don't amend laws congress does but liberal judges think they can update any statute oh how they please.

If you live in crime-ridden Honduras and you want to come to the U.S. in order to work hard as a roofer for a few months in order to feed and clothe your children, the way it should work is that you just drive up to the border, we do a quick Interpol-type check on you (maybe a couple hours of processing), then if it appears you're not a criminal, we hand you a work visa right then and there, and you go on about your business, and voila, you're now in the country legally. If you break any laws here, we kick you right out and you can't come back. And obviously citizenship would be a much longer process. But that also should be a lot easier than it is now.

And then as far as the not paying income taxes thing, there are different strategies we could take on that. One would be to try to collect some form of income taxes from them somehow or other (perhaps at the border when leaving, or some other way). And the other, probably better strategy, would be for us to just get rid of the income tax entirely, and have our tax system be based on around consumption/national sales tax. And road tolls and whatnot. Then everybody physically here would be physically forced to contribute their share of taxes.

And as far as fear of terrorists coming in, almost all of the terrorism in this country has been perpetrated by American natural-born citizens, or in some cases by legal immigrants. 99% of the people coming in from Mexico and Central America are just here to make money and not hurt anybody.
Says the delusional liberal. As long as we have foolish democrats promoting free rides and sanctuary city the option they will always choose is illegal. Why pay taxes when the dumb Americans will foot the bill? Why pay for healthcare when you can get it free? It doesn't work the way you think - you don't feed the ducks at the pond because they become dependent on human food and lazy yet that theory doesn't seem to apply to liberals. You give people a free ridge they are going to take it. Look at the government work force.
Why become a citizen when you can breed and let your offspring reap the benefits? My guess is you haven't seen reality.
Lastly it's not my problem if someone lived in crime ridden Honduras it's Honduras problem. The US isn't the motel 6 for every poor immigrant. We used to attract people who wanted careers and contributed but thanks to liberals we now are home to illegal roofers.

Obama is just barely out of office, and is already widely ranked the 12th best president of all time, out of 44. And since historians tend to have a bias for distant history, plus nostalgia factor, that rank will only be rising with the years and decades.

Kennedy is currently #8, and Reagan is at #9.

So, no, fictional Donald Duck would not have been a better president.
