That's it in a nutshell!!
All this Clinton bashing is by the empirical data, out of place. Bill Clinton for all his social misbehavior and schemes and deals was on a policy level the most conservative/republican acting president we've had in the last four.
you prefer the shit that comes out the hags mouth?????
First, Hillary is a criminal and let's not forget she got Americans KILLED then covered it up and lied about it giving a lame ass excuse of some video protest nonsense.Guys, this is just one of those can't wins / won't persuades we've got here. It appears almost everyone responding is going to vote for Trump. Can't that be enough? Even though the majority are going to plug their nose and do it, it appears that we need to be overjoyed and spectacularly appreciative of this noble fellow instead of just having the Trumpletons be happy. He gets my vote, not my loyalty.
As an aside: I think so much of conservatism my firstborn is named after our 40th president so I'm not your garden variety RINO either. Nonetheless , as a conservative I find it fascinating how skewed reality has become.
All this Clinton bashing is by the empirical data, out of place. Bill Clinton for all his social misbehavior and schemes and deals was on a policy level the most conservative/republican acting president we've had in the last four. Certainly a friend to the tax code. The economy was doing pretty well (even if we discount the computer revolution). The deficit was certainly in better shape. The welfare reform was positive. Even if you say all of that was due to outside pressures upon him, he still gets the medal for the least damaging president as of recently.
If you were to draw a line on a spectrum of conservatism Clinton's policies were on the average to the right of McCain, to the right of Romney, to the right of Paul Ryan, to the right of Bob Dole, to the right of Bush 43, and roughly tied with the conservatism of Bush 41. Therefore, I object to the doom and gloom talk that if I don't vote for another shill pseudo false conservative the world will come to an end as we know it. Did Bush 41 appoint a liberal to the SCOTUS? Yes. Did Bush 43 appoint a moderate? Yes. So electing republicans isn't a guarantee for the bench to be conservative either.
The republican neocon east coast liberal types (and McCain as their surrogate) get backed, funded and supported by the same globalists that supported Bill and now support Hillary. Many of the big corporations were funding both equally so as to not appear to have a favorite. Nothing about the last 20+ years of politics has been conservative and Trump does not appear to be a unique fiscal, military, or moral differentiator than the dozen men that have tried to get the job before him.
In conclusion: I believe that since 1988 we've elected opportunistic, non-conservative politicians. Four years into Bush 43 we still had a gun ban. We had Gale Norton at Interior and numerous infringements on import. Obama appears to be equally lousy at protecting conservation issues. What's the difference? They want power and control and they will log-roll on core issues to maintain the majority influence they need to get things done for their cronies. There is no evidence that any party or nominee is more or less likely to send sportsman down the river via leftist policies towards conservation.
Agree whole heartedly.I am a Ted Cruz supporter, unfortunately he is out of the race. I still have my doubts about Trump, but I will always vote for the lesser of two evils.
The one thing that could cost us this election, is the civil war within the GOP. The RINO's are a huge problem. We need to get rid of them. Specifically, Mitch McConnell, and Paul Ryan, to start with.
Bill and Hillary are" corrupt subhuman slime", and should be kicked off this planet. Take Obama, and George Soros with you!
Trump is like broccoli..... you may not like it but its good for you.....When are people going to figure out this is NOT ABOUT TRUMP!!!!!!! It's about preventing the United States of Anerica from becoming the former USSR or at absolute best Europe, which would be a discrace to our ancestors and our future generations.
Only 2 President's have ever been impeached. Andrew Jackson, and Bill Clinton. Neither were convicted.
There is talk coming out of the Oklahoma senate, about impeaching Obama over the transgender bathroom initiative. It will never happen.
If Hillary was a Republican, she would be behind bars already. The corrupt administration is blocking reality.
Sorry, but I don't agree with you on Ryan. He is an ,establishment, and special interest, sellout. He will be a failure as house speaker, just like Boehner was.I am sure Jackson's impeachment will come as a surprise to most historians. Assume you meant Johnson? And I doubt that guidance with respect to bathrooms will meet the standard of high crimes and misdemeanors - even in Oklahoma - though what the Oklahoma Senate would have to do with articles of impeachment I can't imagine. I keep hoping common sense will eventually win out, but the millennials seem to be embracing this nonsense (no doubt from their safe places).
Look, I think this guy has done terrible damage to the very fabric of our country. But dumping principled conservatives with a brain like Paul Ryan is self destructive. The government has to function. Ryan understands that and is at least forcing normal budgetary action. Moreover, he is dealing with a president whose favorability rating is well over 50% - much much higher than the Republican led house.
We also sound a little unbalanced when we credit all Bill's economic success to Regan but blame only Obama for everything that happened after W's market collapse (which, of course, we naturally blame on Bill). I just find it almost impossible to believe that the country worked itself into a position where the choice is Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Only in America.
