I'm saying that if I don't like the candidates of both parties, I don't vote like the majority of the electorate....that's a protest vote.


you sound like you vote for whoever your party tells you to vote for like a good sheep.

not once has Obama supported ALL of America...but damned the torpedoes if a white cop kills a black thug, he will send his AG and say "it could have been my son"

It matters far more on the GOP side than it does for the Dem's. It's obvious HRC can say anything and the base will vote for her.

oh please...the lie of a Clinton surplus has been debunked a million times

Clinton/newt never had any surpluses.....they had PROJECTED surpluses...but the country SPENT the surpluses...if you project a surplus, then spend more than that surplus... you have a deficit

budgets are best guesses...projections

ie you can say we EXPECT/PROJECT the revenue to be 2 trillion and EXPECT the spending to be 3 trillion...a 1 trillion PROJECTED deficit

or you can say we EXPECT/PROJECT the revenue to be 2 trillion and EXPECT the spending to be 2 trillion...a PROJECTED balanced budget

ie you can say we EXPECT/PROJECT the revenue to be 2.1 trillion and EXPECT the spending to be 1.9 trillion...a 200 billion PROJECTED surplus

and the end of the year all the pluses and minuses are counted.... you can have

ie you can say we EXPECT/PROJECT the revenue to be 2 trillion and the spending to be 3 trillion...a 1 trillion PROJECTED deficit...but revenue rose to 2.2 trillion and we only spent 2.8 trillion...still a deficit but instead of a 1 trillion deficit, now its a 600 billion deficit


you can project a surplus..and have emergencies show up (ie the Mississippi valley flooding...911... etc) and completely blow the surplus to where it becomes a deficit



sorry, but the PROJECTED surpluses of clinton/newt never happened...the debt never got paid, and the debt infact INCREASED


the simple fact is if there had been a surplus, then the debt would have gone down...it didn't


was the BUDGET balanced.....yes

was there a PROJECTED SURPLUS.....yes

was there an actual surplus , once all in's and out's were counted.....NO

here is the 4 years that they claim had a surplus
Fiscal
Year........ YearEnding.... ..National Debt........Annual budget Deficit

FY1998..... 09/30/1998.... $5.526193 trillion...... $113.05 billion
FY1999..... 09/30/1999.... $5.656270 trillion...... $130.08 billion
FY2000..... 09/29/2000.... $5.674178 trillion...... $17.91 billion
FY2001..... 09/28/2001.... $5.877463 trillion...... $133.29 billion


so endeth the myth of the Clinton surplus

a spent projected surplus is not a surplus

Here's one instance, but don't expect me to do your leg work for you. Spend more time reading or listening to a wider variety of news coverage.

you sound like you vote for whoever your party tells you to vote for like a good sheep.
Then why do you care who the parties pick? Why are you even commenting on an election forum if you have no interest in it? That is the real question here....as for the "sheep" personal attack that you weakly displayed, I vote for who I think the best candidate is, and I have already told you who I will be voting for.

no shiat!!!!.....just on the part that she chased the Chinese against their will into a room and made them sign an agreement has got to be up there with the biggest LIE in a debate.

She is amazing, getting deals done with the Chinese!.....just chase them down, lock the door and talk to them against their best economic interest to sign a deal about high taxation on fuel.....

but she will clean the dirty money in the campaigns, she said it in the debate and Sanders deaf on that ear let her with the B.S.


and the whole room starting clapping, makes you wonder about the I.Q. in that hotel in Vegas.

You'd advocate that people who have endured great hardships to get to the land of promise because their lives are at risk where they live should be turned away? We didn't turn away the Italians, Greeks, Jews, Irish...and all have made great contributions to this country.
President Obama has repeatedly spoken out about black on black crime, but apparently that wasn't covered on Fox or Rush.
As for hate...it seems to be evident exactly which posts advocate and exhibit hatred.
Btw, since so many readers apparently missed it: Reagan insider: 'GOP destroyed U.S. economy' - MarketWatch
they walked over the border and most likely came over in nafta trucks.. the mexican truck drivers can now drive all over the United States.

They can come over 5 or 6 times so they can go back and stay there.. many years ago Cities refused to rent or hire illegals and Obama fought for them.

I know first hand here in NJ the freebees they get, welfare , food stamps housing all for having kids born here and the men work under the table making $1000 a week under the table in the housing industry. The illegal women drive dump trucks here.. they are running amuck working under the table and fleecing taxpayers.. get free college while Americans have their property taxes going through the roof.. NJ has the highest property taxes because our dear Christie spends 234 thousand for each illegal to go to grade school here and then they also get free college on the taxpayers dime.. People in NJ are moving out or losing their homes because the cost of living here is so high because the tax burden is enormous. So tell me how illegals are good for the country.
