We sure agree on Jeb....and i can agree, or relate, to many things on your list too. There are many cases where the party lines are blurred, and that's why so many folks have problems identifying with one or the other most times. The exception might be race relations, with immigration included in there, as well as our President.

Discussing politics breeds animosities like rabbits. Going back to the Civil War it even split families. This thread was made separate to enable discussion in a more confined area, rather than sprinkled throughout the  boards. My initial hope was to have a place for folks to vent on the subject in lively discussion, and in jest at the absurdities in the political arena........and not to make it personal....so rant..rave..criticize..laugh..chuckle...then leave it here and move on back to the fish we all love and enjoy....remembering that the world would be a boring place if we were all made from the same mold.

When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

I really can't recall anything he's done that has helped the American situation is all. And he doesn't love this country and all that it is.

And don't forget he's a UNDER COVER MUSLIM,one of his parents was black,  and he's likely the antichrist too.

QuoteBill, I don't intend to call you anything except a friend. This thread is politics. I'd like to think we have more in common than this argument. Like fish. Maybe fishing too.

I also think we can agree neither one of us would ever vote for Jeb.

I can pretty much say that from the little I know of the folks here (face it except for those that have personally met we really don't know each other at all) if anyone here ever needed something I could help with I surely would. I tend to think though that I am no different than anyone else here.

G:
In many ways I think you are mostly likely an OK guy.
However, when anything touches upon your political and religious beliefs, you display intolerance and close mindedness.
On those subjects, your have a strong tendency to be completely dismissive of other views and facts based upon what seem to me to be surrilious grounds (making or spreading scandalous claims about someone with the intention of damaging their reputation), rather than any rational discussion of pros and cons of a particular idea.

To me, this behavior seems troll-like. Calling names, disparaging whole groups of people (for reasons you don't make clear- just hate?). And generally trashing ongoing discussions.

...well, so much for letting it go, I guess...???

Meanwhile, how about Biden....I like Joe...he calls em like he sees them, even with an occasional foot in the mouth by doing so.... |^|

He's met with Elizabeth Warren now.....could they be a viable team??....I think so....unless Hillary can plug the dike ..??

I like Joe too. Foot in mouth is not hurting Trump so far. ::)

Other than  she keeps saying she is not interested in running for president, I think Elisabeth Warren would be the best candidate.
Better as a veep than nothing though.

Who knows ??...he might have been looking for just her backing??

By today's definition of the parties JFK would be a  republican. He understood how lowering taxes increased government revenue.
