I'd vote for Hillary if assured she would vote as I wish....and no better option So, if a candidate was a literal Nazi but anti abortion you'd vote for them over a pro choice candidate if that was your only option? Someone better page Richard Spencer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I will only vote for the people who vote the way I wish. Here's the process by which I determine how it is I wish them to vote. 1. Really rich people decide what's in their best interest and tell the GOP to make it happen. 2. The GOP crafts its policies based on that or on issues that they know they can use to influence a vulnerable population that is easily misled. 3. They tell me how I want them to vote and then I do want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if he made it illegal and then encouraged it there would be a serious problem. I would look for a better option to vote for .....still better than someone that supports it for all. OK. So, on this day, twa: 1) Defended a anti-abortion politician who pressured people into having abortions, by arguing that abortion isn;t murder if it's lecal. 2) And argued that supporting banning abortion, but not for himself, is better than letting less important people have them.

A private segregationist that keeps it to themselves is acceptable to me if they do as I wish. I'm electing a representative, not a role model. It is like musicians....I overlook most things for a great tune....since I'm there for the tunes. Just now, Larry said: I quoted your entire post.

I think that question will be what dooms it. Whoever is at the top has SCOTUS pick power, agency appointment power, etc. et.c. Unless they can somehow overcome that hurdle, I don't think it could actually go anywhere and govern. One would have to, by design, be subservient. I suppose I could envision a sort of co-Presidency strategy, where the top of the ticket was Pres but all decisions were joint, but you can't really enforce something like that if it goes south.

All very good points. I was stuck on the subservience aspect, as you said. I was leaning toward Biden at the top. No matter, that ticket really would make for some dynamic discussion, realignments, and gridlocks...but we would have leadership and integrity in the White House.

He gets zero credit. He was exposed as a scam artist. Taking money from people of certain beliefs he didn't share to help get elected. I don't feel bad the anti-choice crowd got shafted there. I'd still sue him for that money they "donated". Also, he should resign immediately. Not in a few weeks when he's had time to arrange a softer landing for himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with just about all of that, though I will say I'm glad we don't have another David Vitter on our hands. That guy was a joke played on the Senate for a dang decade.

Gallen5862 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/10/06/new-hampshire-shea-porter-retire/xvzxPWFLhElkpkzeMECTRI/story.html N.H. Representative Carol Shea-Porter unexpectedly announces she’ll retire New Hampshire US Representative Carol Shea-Porter announced Friday she will not seek re-election in 2018, saying that “the time has come in my life to pause and decide on a different path.” Over the course of the past decade, Shea-Porter, 64, has served four times in the House of Representatives, winning, then losing, then reclaiming her seat. Her decision is a political bombshell with national implications. At a time when Democrats are looking to win back a majority in the House, Shea-Porter is one of the few Democrats holding office in a district that Republican Donald Trump won last year. New Hampshire’s First Congressional District, which includes Manchester and the state’s Seacoast and Lakes Region, is the most hotly contested in all of New England.
