Once again by popular demand another poll for you.

Crooked Hillary is getting clobbered in my polls.

Lets see how she does with this fair and balanced one.

I designed this poll so you can't vote that seems to be what the left wanted.

Your comment is your vote to be fair and balanced.
Neither. To the extent that I'll celebrate at all, it will be to celebrate the courage, the wisdom, and the character of the Founding Fathers, who risked their lives to give us this country that we have so thoroughly ****ed up since that day.

And I'll send them both a silent "thank you" and an embarrassed "I'm sorry" to those Founders, as they sit up there covering their faces with their hands and shaking their heads back and forth as they ask one another how in the world we could have gotten something so special so completely, disastrously wrong. I wonder if they would have gone to the trouble had they known how it was all going to turn out.

- Trump has no experience at politics of any level. His many insane rants about "what he's going to do if he's elected" make it clear that he has no idea what the role of the president is; he seems to think it's the same as being a dictator in a banana-republic or the unquestioned head of his own ego-corporation. We don't need a nut like that in charge; at least Hillary understands the office and the role of the job.

Trump is grossly dishonest. Sure, Hillary's not honest, but he can't even reveal his tax records? I mean, come on!

Trump is staggeringly ignorant. While neither candidate is a genius, his lack of factual grounding in his rants is astounding. Everything from the birther idiocy to claiming that "thousands of Muslims in NJ were rioting in celebration of 9-11" - he wouldn't know a fact if it ran him over.

- Trump is a bigot. This goes back way before his hate-filled rants about Muslims, Mexicans, etc. Heck, in the mid 1970's, he had a policy to design rent to blacks, and he pretended he was Swedish (not German) to "get loans from (insert racist term here) Jews." We don't need a bigot for any office, and certainly not for an office that involves regular negotiations with people of other faiths and skin colors. Hillary may be a bigot - who knows - but she doesn't spoke off bigotry or use it to gain votes.

In 1973, the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) Civil Rights Division filed a civil rights suit against the Trump organization... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tr...on#Controversy

- Trump cannot handle criticism and will gladly alter the laws to protect his position: This goes beyond the usual political mudslinging; heck, he's even promised to basically revoke the First Amendment so wealthy people can sue if anyone dares speak out against them. That's the stuff of 3rd world banana republics, not America.

Promising to gut the 1st Amendment: Trump threatens to weaken First Amendment protections for reporters | PBS NewsHour

Revoking the press credentials of anyone who dares challenge him: Donald Trump revokes Washington Post press credentials - Jun. 13, 2016

Again, that's 3rd world tyrant behavior, and thus not acceptable in this nation.

Just some points to consider; objectively, he is the inferior choice from an admittedly lousy selection.
actually, Trump is more than 1000% better than hilary.

who cares if he does not have experience in politics? I sure as hell do not, and the last thing I want in washington dc is another political ***** and insider out for themself, and that is what hilary is.

lets see, who truly cares about his tax records at this point? if he becomes the nominee, then he is required to release them, but he is not the nominee yet. but he is sure a hell of a lot more honest than hilary is.
hilary is more dishonest than Richard Nixon, and at least he resigned.

bigot? really, ever take a look at the current sitting president called obama? he is more of a racist than any past president.

maybe if the media would stop only focusing on Trump and start doing news stories on hilary and the crap that she has done, then he wont feel like he is being singled out like he is.

guess what, someone threatens to weaken the 1st Amendment protections with reporters and you scream, but have the president scream for more gun control and that Americans do not really need firearms and you liberals are ok with that. how hypocritical can anyone be.

revoking press credentials? hilary and obama have both been not allowing certain news media to be at political rallies and the like. in fact, hilary would not even allow any recorders of any type in to record what she had to say at a political dinner for democratic elites.

as an end note, yes we do not know what Trump will do if he gets elected, but we sure as hell know what hilary will do, and hilary will screw over the USA as much as she can.

if given the choice of an unknown outcome and the known outcome, and the known outcome is worse than the unknown outcome, I would choose the unknown outcome, as nobody truly knows what the unknown outcome will be, and hilary is the known outcome that nobody in the USA wants or needs.

You just finished saying you don:t care about the deaths of the blue helmets -- which is it? And whether you wish or do not wish to exit the UN, you have no vote, you have no influence to affect that change, none at all.



The Korean War was fought under the auspices of the UN, with Matt Ridgeway in command. The International War Crimes Tribunal is an appendage of the UN and it was given this authority by the US Congress.

I am not going to argue with a creature who is so detached from the conventions of society that they:d advocate head shots. That utterly removes you from the active gene pool of non-sociopathic humanity and tags you as a person with deeply seated disorders of the psychological kind. Must be so proud!
The UN from 1950 is far different than the UN of today. Their agenda is clear, as is the depths of their crimes.

PLEASE show me where anyone is advocating head shots.

I spent my day with my daughters shooting at blue helmets, most at ranges of 600 meters or more.

There was a good reason we never joined the League of Nations, the predecessor to the UN.
