I hate the following types of voters:
Undecided voters. Seriously? You can't decide...you're just gonna keep it hanging until you get to the polls. You just can't make the effort to be informed? Go have sex with yourself at your earliest convenience.
Single-issue voters. Seriously? It's all about you and your idiotic pet-project ideology. You can't expand your thinking to include other issues which may affect those around you? Go have sex with yourself at your earliest convenience.
First-time voters. Seriously? Unless you are 18, you better get your ass down to the polling place at vote. Don't give me that "don't have time" crap. If you have some excuse for not voting, I invite you to go have sex with yourself at your earliest convenience.
Non-voters. Seriously? People have died trying to get the right to vote. Save your canned wikipedia-derived speech about "it doesn't matter" or "corporations control the world" for your next Ralph Nader fan club meeting. And...go have sex with yourself at your earliest convenience.

I've only ever voted once. Leona Lewis 2006.
My qualification of "Unless you are 18" excludes these voters (at least in the USA)
Hope Trump gets it. Think Cameron and Trump could do a lot of good together.

I think the context was what he can do to make himself look more Presidential. To me he looks like he's doing Will Ferrell doing Jeb Bush (and he's good at it, too.) He was probably a good Governor (@mezzrow?) and he'd probably be a good Cabinet member, but I can't see him being a world leader. I think it's the complete lack of personality in most legitimate candidates that has people gravitating to Trump; The Donald lacks no personality.
No; The President.
I think that sums it up. The word has evolved into a Proper Noun
The test being when you think of the word 1 picture or concept pops in your head.
The President...Robert Mugabe does not come to mind
The World Cup...nor does the recent rugby world cup
The Queen...or some woman from spain or Holland with a crown on her head
I think if Trump were elected, he would definitely prefer Prezza. That is if he gives up The Donald (he could always switch to Mr Donald...)
That's pretty close to it. He was a good Governor, but it was easy to be a good Governor when he had the job, kind of like when Clinton was President. I've never understood why he ran this time, except that he had lots of ready money available via the establishment sources. There is a strain of thinking in the institutional party that is always looking for the the next guy in line (hence Romney) and people managed to convince poor Jeb that he was the answer. In another America his bilingual ease with Anglos and Hispanics would be just the ticket for success, but not this year. Rubio is the newer fitter model, and he's much better on TV. Plus, Rubio's actually Hispanic, not just by marriage. And then there's the last name. Americans have a limit on any dynastic strain, and this one has been reached.
Here's your analogy for the Republican base as they see themselves. Picture a herd of sheep that no will longer follow their shepherd because they've been lied to for so long. There's never anything to graze on as promised when you get to the destination, but you go from field to field putting the same shepherd in charge. You just get eaten by wolves a bit less quickly than you might have without any shepherd at all. Lots of folks are asking "what's the definition of insanity again? Maybe we really go for what we want and screw the ones who say you have to hold to the middle course and keep following this jarg shepherd. (old guys pitch in) Yep, this sounds like the same crap they told before we finally elected Reagan..."
Trump's top limit has been reached IMHO, and you'll see him sag week by week. How he deals with that will be something to witness. He's the only one that polls under Hillary in current polling, for what that's worth and it's not much... What does that leave? Stay tuned. Don't mind Dr. Carson, the media will run some "he's a religious nutcase" version of the Herman Cain sexual harassment purge which should cut the Carson surge unless we see something completely different this time. I wouldn't be surprised to see something completely different this time. I have no idea what it might be, though.
Which explains why so much campaign effort, year after year, is directed specifically at those who follow the path of Onan. Explains a lot when you see them rolling out the steaming pile of appetites, ambition, and promises that they call a campaign. All flavo(u)rs of them.
he would being a total bad hair blert.
you're on the ground, given people vote parties out, is the floating voter ( do you have them ) going to go with a woman after Obama, will they just want change for the sake of not having a 3rd Dem. term...even if it means Trump
and is it nailed on Clinton Vs Trump or is it too early to tell and plenty of time for either or to blow it, plenty of questions, any answers or should I toss a coin.
Ben Carson’s Presidential campaign came clean on Friday, in response to inquiries from the site Politico, admitting that Carson had fabricated his application and acceptance to the seminal U.S. Military Academy at West Point. This contradicts key details Carson laid out in his book, Gifted Hands, namely, that he had been granted a full scholarship to West Point after dining with General William Westmoreland as a high school senior in 1969.
“Dr. Carson was the top ROTC student in the City of Detroit,” Carson’s campaign manager Barry Bennett explained to Politico via email. “In that role he was invited to meet General Westmoreland. He believes it was at a banquet. He can’t remember with specificity their brief conversation but it centered around Dr. Carson’s performance as ROTC City Executive Officer.” Bennett concedes that “[Carson] was introduced to folks from West Point by his ROTC Supervisors…. They told him they could help him get an appointment based on his grades and performance in ROTC. He considered it but in the end did not seek admission.”
Theresa Brinkerhoff, West Point spokeswoman, stated the Academy has no record that Carson even initiated the application process: “If he chose to pursue (the application process) then we would have records indicating such.”
Not only did Carson apparently fabricate his admission to West Point, but now even his meeting with Gen. William Westmoreland is in doubt. POLITICO reports that “according to records of Westmoreland’s schedule that were provided by the U.S. Army, the general did not visit Detroit around Memorial Day in 1969 or have dinner with Carson. In fact, the general’s records suggest he was in Washington that day and played tennis at 6:45 p.m.”
The presidential hopeful’s revelation has spurred greater speculation into Carson’s past, particularly his attempt to stab a peer as a teen.
