Greetings, Montecresto. :2wave:

You're probably correct, but why does it have to be that way? It almost appears as if our elected leaders have opted over the years to go out in a blaze of "we know best, so up yours" to the rest of the world! However, being a history buff, I have learned that every civilization that has ever existed has first decayed from within, and then finally imploded and died when they tried the same thing we're doing, but we're going to be the exception? I don't think so, but this is one time when I hope I'm wrong because our creditors will demand to be repaid one day, as is their right, and we will be unable to do so. What new rules will be forced to live under then? :shock:

So I think of it as musical chairs and everybody thinks (hopes) that such collapse comes after their time or that they have a chair when the music stops. But more importantly, if people would just look at what actually happens one administration to another, there's very little difference in the end in what's done. IOW, both parties are kicking the can down the same road, if on opposite sides. Which is why you've seen me so often decrying both parties and advocating for the independents, that actually outnumber those registered in either party, to unite behind and actually put an independent in the White House and let the republicans and democrats both sit one out and perhaps they'd get the message. But keeping a republican or democrat in office, election after election will ensure amongst a host of other problems, a continually growing national debt.

I said it over a year ago -- the country has "Bush-fatigue". Jeb Bush could be Mr. Wonderful, and he'd still have a very hard time getting much support from mainstream conservatives. Worse, Jeb is just another projection of the Bush Machine, and we don't need any more of that.

They're tired of cowardly neocons. That's why Pontius Bush will never be elected.
 
Trump -- a faux populist RINO without any policy specifics.

No specifics?

Border control to stop illegals and getting rid of illegals aliens currently in the country.

Two things most Americans want and are eager to have accomplished.

He'll win... as he's not a professional politician, isn't beholden to donors... and the professionals time of PC-Speek has met with language everyone can understand. Nobody is perfect, but his faults melt away because of his refreshing bluntness.

The other is... Hillary Clinton is a disease ridden corruption machine.
There isn't much to like there... even by many in her party. I'm glad she's yours.

I'd have to say Bush, followed closely by Rubio. When Bush the 3rd speaks, he shows those famous Bush mannerisms. And it reminds people of a family that's better left in the past.

Rubio is the GOP's version of obama, no doubt about it. He is young, inexperienced, extremely well spoken, and fits nicely into a minority demographic. He is a freshman Senator, and I believe obama was a junior Senator.

Rubio is a jr senator, but otherwise i agree with you on him.

Bush sounds nothing like gwb

Trump is pretty vague on economics.

Whats cowardly about them? Take a breath and step back from the ledge. If you are a person of above average intelligence you judge a man on his record of success not his familial relationships. Bush was successful in florida and as a business man.

He isnt my fav. But i think he isnt getting a fair shake due to his brother. Ill vote for him should he win the nomination

Hey, whatever it takes to keep people like you from deciding national elections.

I'll make a prediction, none of the candidates fielded by either party will do anything to arrest our growing national debt.

A well-known playwright once said that's what's past is prologue. Judging by the past thirty-five years, it looks to me like if you want the debt to grow at more than ten percent annually, vote for a Republican. If you want it to diminish, vote for a Democrat.

Those are populist generalities ... not the specifics (the nuts and bolts) of such policies.

His brother was greater than he.

You may recall a woman by the name of Terry Schiavo. She was condemned to death by an unjust judge, who feared neither God nor any man. At the time, Jeb was governor of Judea Florida and said he would have her rescued from this fate. But a few days before the execution commenced, he reneged, and washed his hand of her.

He's a consummate coward, which is why I call him "Pontius Bush".

Ok, you focus on that ill focus on jobs, debt, taxes, immigration, foreign policy. To each his own

"I do not see what use a man can be put to, whose word cannot be trusted" - Confucius

If he can't be trusted to do as he says in that matter, he can't be trusted to do anything else he says.

And to address something you said earlier, I dislike him in spite of his brother, not because of his brother.

His position was that he would turn over the innocent to death, and concede to the murderer Greer. He is a coward.
