Is it just me?... Presidential candidates really a smokescreen?

" Hillary Clinton is just as bad as Donald. " WRONG!

IMHO, MEN have fucked this country up enough, and that includes the senate and congress. They don’t want change; they don’t want to pass a bill for change.

The problem with the senate and CONGRESS is: there is too much RED in it. We are going to fix that in 20 days from now. We are going to ADD some BLUE to that mix. lol (TRUE BLUE)

Re: Term limits.

We already have them, they're called elections.

And they're a terrible idea, anyway.

Hey there! Now I'm not trying to start a riot, however I've got an opinion is like to express and it happens to be on presidential candidates being a smokescreen! Is it just me, or does it seem a little more important to worry about the 30+Yr terms of our congressmen, rather than the outrageously difficult decision were faced with picking presidential candidates? To me it seems like a big smokescreen to get the attention away from the real ruling powers.... But like I said.. Maybe it's just me!! Originally Posted by Sensational Stacey


I agree and I am more concerned with with the career politicians. It is the main reason I will go vote is to vote down the ballot and get some new people in.

Julian Assange is looking more and more like a national hero.

So far as Hilary, I didn't know Hitler had a sister.

Trump is a braying jackass but at least he's a competent jackass.

ijs - if we had a national lottery system to choose Congress and maybe even President we might just be as well off (or better, certainly not worse!).

Everyone over age XYZ with a Social Security account would be eligible; "winners" would go to WDC for two years, live in a common dormitory, paid a decent salary and benefits and then retired from that system for life.

Otherwise, we are always stuck with everyone in politics -- and they all share the one common goal:

Re-election!
The bookies still have Hilary a 90% favorite. Election is over....
