|
|
Can you believe we are facing another Bush vs Clinton election again in 2016?
Yet neither one will represent our interests. Nothing changes. I was reading about this today and thought I'd post it.
What a depressing country to be from, although we criticize other nations as being undemocratic. |

Being a legal resident of Florida, some of my interests revolve around not having Jeb Bush elected even dogcatcher anywhere within 12 parsecs of where I live ......
We've broken the barrier on a Catholic president, if only once so far. We've broken the barrier on a black president, too early to tell about the "only once so far aspect". If we want to break the female president barrier, I think Hillary would be a good choice. After all, if she needs advice, who would be a better consigliere than her husband?  |

Oh?... who do you think was giving the advice when Bill Clinton was president? |

If the next Clinton could marry the next Bush, they could stop having elections. |

There's a new world order. Come on, you guys don't really think that it makes any difference whether it's Bush or Clinton who get elected, do you?
They both represent the same powerful interests. And, as George Carlin would say, You and I are not in that club. |

Apart from turning your stomach, this idea almost makes you yearn for a Kennedy again! |

A friend of mine is big on Elizabeth Warren. I don't know much about her. I will learn if it becomes a more serious issue. |
