Some GOP, conservatives, and liberty lovers this election season have convinced themselves that they can simply opt out
by throwing their vote to some 3rd party or writing in their preferred primary candidate who lost to salve their wounded egos.
They say that they don't like Clinton or Trump and that even if Clinton is corrupt that Trump is more dangerous because he
soils the virginity of conservatism or some such fanciful thing as if we have not supported many candidates that were far from
conservative purists. I've personally supported every Republican candidate for President since I was voting age save one and
that was before I considered myself a Republican. I voted for businessman Ross Perot in the 1992 election. This election has
stakes far greater than those that manifested in 1992. We also now have seen the results of not heeding the warnings of Perot
on trade, on our national debt, and the size of government.

Franklin Roosevelt was re elected for his fourth term when he was a foot in the grave — but at least Roosevelt was President! We’re supposed to be electing Hillary with her brain damage, grave sickness, and sociopathy? What makes that bitch so entitled?
These folks have wounded egos because they fail to take a rational look at Trump. There is no contest between Hillary and the Donald. Trump is by far the preferred candidate for POTUS.
I have failed to vote for a Democrat since 1974. How can you vote for a party that supports the killing of babies?
I totally agree. The Democrats are experts at shifting people’s attention from the true core of evil represented by their party. Its why they scream and throw fits in mock outrage when focus comes to issues like abortion or nasty sexual practices. They can’t allow people to be exposed to the true unvarnished baby killing and nastiness.
...had George HW Bush not broken his word to conservatives. Had George not broken his word, he would have stomped Clinton, and the world would have turned out a better place.
George HW wrecked the United States.
We ended up with one great judge from GHW Bush. If Bush had just stuck with Reagan’s policies and took seriously the national debt and trade issues he’d have totally stolen Perot’s thunder. It wasn’t till Newt and his contract with America did the GOP begin to get on a better track with welfare reform and a balance budget amendment.
She is the corruption they know and are comfortable with. They would be completely happy if she was their perfect puppet because those that fund her don’t want anything move. Just a puppet. Look see her smile when I pull a string.
GHWB lost because of the recession.
The recession was caused by the globalists, who NEEDED a COMPLIANT DEMOCRAP in the White House in order to get NAFTA and WTO through the Crap-controlled Senate.
Yup. But had George HW just kept his word, much of the subsequent tragedies which occurred would not have happened. We would not have queers in the military, we would not have the possibility of a nuclear Iran.
I dare say that before the repercussions are done, we will see much bloodshed just because George HW wanted to be buddies with Democrats. (Who immediately stabbed him in the back.)
When George HW came out with that "Kinder, Gentler" crap, I immediately knew he didn't believe in Reagan's policies or philosophies. He always was a north eastern Limousine Liberal from Connecticut.
The guy related to Neil Bush of Savings & Loans debacle fame?
No he didn't. He lost first, because he didn't keep his word. (and therefore could not point out what a habitual and pathological *LIAR* Clinton was.)
He lost Second, because those vile bastards that control the broadcasting system in America created the illusion that the economy was terrible.
I mean it. They f***ing lied every chance they got. I closely watched the news in those days, and those F**ing vermin kept showing every scrap of economic news they could twist into looking bad. Every news broadcast led with pictures of closed factories or people standing in employment lines.
The Liberal Democrat Union Members of New York City who run the media, created the illusion of a bad economy. We know it was an illusion because data released after the election demonstrated what little recession we had, was over in march of that Year, but day after day, Peter Jennings, Sam Donaldson, Dan Rather, and other vermin of the left, kept reporting horrible news.
I saw what they were doing when they were doing it, and I constantly screamed at my television that we ought not let those bastards get away with that underhanded tactic.
The recession was caused by the globalists, who NEEDED a COMPLIANT DEMOCRAP in the White House in order to get NAFTA and WTO through the Crap-controlled Senate.
Well who do you think owns the media?
The housing collapse started with Jimmy Carter and his stupid CRA. (Community Reinvestment Act.) It collected racial data for housing loans.
Bill Clinton gets into office and immediately asserted that the racial disparity in loans indicates institutional racism in our banking industry, and he immediately applies pressure to force the issue of loans to people who were previously regarded as bad credit risks.
These people were heavily represented by minorities. Clinton had help from his congressional allies like Barney Frank.
The point is, without Clinton forcing the fedgov to demand banks issue these loans, and if the Clinton infested fedgov had not indicated they would back up these bad loans, the vast bulk of these loans would never have happened, and thus the Housing caused financial crises would also never have happened.
So we owe the financial collapse to the fact that George HW Bush lied to America.
Giving Killary control over SCOTUS just cannot happen. The country will not survive 30-40 years of liberalism. It has barely survived the last eight.
This is the best reason why Trump must be the next POTUS. Period, end of story, full stop.
"If you are willing to do that you might as well be one of those burning the flag, spitting on our soldiers, or ambushing our cops because you are turning them over to her and her barbarians and then looking the other way snickering in your "told you so" corner counting your pieces of silver hammered out of your own sanctimony."
It was Clinton, on November 12, 1999, whe signed the passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act which repealed parts of the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act. Specifically, provisions in the 1933 Glass-Steagall act that prohibit a bank holding company from owning other financial companies were repealed. Economists Robert Ekelund and Mark Thornton have criticized the Act as contributing to the 2007 subprime mortgage financial crisis.
There are only a few explanations for the #NeverTrump movement:——too much MSM propaganda, RINO status, bought off by globalist money, diminished brain cell function......
Who in their right mind would minimize the threat a Hillary Clinton Administration poses to the future of the United States....?
Bump
No doubt it did, but it was the issuance of bad loans in the first place that is the primary underlying cause.
My question is did the Democrats conspire to push these minority loans to set the stage for a collapse?
No, they are just collectively too stupid to consider the consequences of their foolish ideas. That, and they were too busy making a *LOT* of money administering idiot government programs.
You may or may not have noticed this, but the Democrats suck heavily on the taxpayers teat. The bulk of people employed by government (80%) are Democrats. The bulk of people administering government programs are Democrats. The bulk of people RECEIVING government money are Democrats.
The only thing they know is that it is IMPERATIVE to keep that sweet sweet government money flowing to their friends and allies, of which the loaners and the loaniees make up the bulk.
That it would ever run out? Perish the thought!
No, they are just stupid.
