POLITICAL THREAD

[fuzz77]

I played the numbers because blacks abort babies 4x the rate as whites do. That is a statistical fact that blacks have the most abortions.

Professors at Howard University said that without abortion, the black population would have increased by 36 percent would be over 52 million blacks in the U.S. That would piss me off if I was in that community especially when you consider the racist original intent of Planned Parenthood.

Why do you assume that blacks would be happier if there were more of them? Why should they be "pissed off"? Just who would they be mad at? Did anyone ever force any of them to seek abortions?
And just think...the GOP would never win another election if it weren't for abortion.

Damned liberals and their evil ways of forcing abortions on minorities without free will.

If abortion is the penultimate issue, what then is the ultimate issue? Or did you use the wrong word there?

The ultimate issue, imo, is the individual being responsible for the individual versus society or the state being responsible for the individual.

Oh Q. You never disappoint.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Obviously choosing to terminate a pregnancy is how the zygote is taking full responsibility for being fertilized

I get it, you believe it's a woman's duty to deliver a child once impregnated and her own body is forfeit.

But even if she elects to terminate the pregnancy, she is still dealing with the consequences of her "actions", so your original absolute, if not parochial, proclamation is false.

I know, abortion was so 3 pages ago.

To any woman who doesnt think its killing a child, no theres no consequences other than money; assuming the government isnt paying. Its just a medical procedure.

If they think it IS killing a child, id wager they dont have it done. But who knows for sure.

Youre trying to reframe the issue as one of womans right to do what she wishes with her body. This is essentially a strawman, and a way to emotionally rationalize killing babies; because noone really cares what she does with her body. She can tattoo her entire body. She can have endless amounts of plastic surgery. Chop off a hand. Noone cares.

The issue is the right of the unborn child and the ending of its life by the mother.

Now, if you want to argue society is better off on the whole because of the lessened burden; Ill listen and agree because thats a valid argument and one that really cant be refuted on the societal level.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Hilary thinks Obama would be a great pick for the SCOTUS. She has been doing a lot of sucking up to Barry lately. Wonder if she knows more than she is letting on and is needing backup from that whole cast of criminals in Obama's administration.

She definitely has. Id say its her partial penance for getting the release of those emails delayed, or prosecution delayed; or both.

Ha ha sorry man. Was spouting off in general, no particular person on here.

[jamo0001]

only four times since WWII has the Republican nominee failed to win the New Hampshire primary. And no nominee has ever finished worse than 2nd:

2000: GWB 30.36% (McCain 48.53%)
1996: Dole 26.22% (Buchanan 27.25%)
1964: Goldwater (HCL Jr)
1948: Dewey (Stassen)


FiveThirtyEight's current weighted poll average for New Hampshire:
30.8% Trump
12.3% Kasich
12.2% Cruz
10.2% Rubio
10.0% Bush

 

[jamo0001]

Meanwhile, the Iowa caucuses are notoriously awful at predicting the eventual nominee:

2012: Santorum (Romney 2nd)
2008: Huckabee (McCain 4th)
2004: --incumbent--
2000: GWB
1996: Dole (barely) beat Buchanan
1992: --incumbent--
1988: Dole (GHWB 3rd)
1984: --incumbent--
1980: GHWB (Reagan 2nd)
1976: Ford


FiveThirtyEight's current weighted poll average for Iowa:
30.7% Trump
25.3% Cruz
14.0% Rubio
8.4% Carson

We're getting ready to see which of the "establishment 4"will have enough money to compete beyond what looks likely to be certain defeat to Trump in Iowa and New Hampshire.

At what point does it become obvious to her supporters that being Bill Clintons wife doesn't make her Presidential material?

 

[krazykats]

Never, this is a conspiracy created by republicans to stop socialism

 

[From-the-stands]

Yeah, but there have been enough phony accusations by the right to make people skeptical. Looks like they got it right this time.

 

[KingOfBBN]

Hillary and Biden were the only threats to the Republicans. If Bernie wins the nomination, you're probably looking at President Donald Trump. Swing states are not voting for a socialist.

 

[DaBossIsBack]

I don't think Trump beats anyone on the blue team. In my opinion a Kasich and Rubio ticket is the only winning ticket for the right.

 

[warrior-cat]

Yeah, but there have been enough phony accusations by the right to make people skeptical. Looks like they got it right this time.

One mans phony (liberal view) is another mans truth. You guys have been defending her at every turn even knowing she was dirty and now have to finally own up to it. Will it do her in? Hard to say, you guys are so corrupt that it might not matter.

 

[KingOfBBN]

DaBoss, so two RINOs for the Republican ticket? Sounds about right.

Bernie Sanders isn't beating anyone on the right regardless if it's Trump or Rubio.

Also, want to throw this out there to the other conservatives on the board. You think it's odd that there's a specific account that has been way more active since Dee became a moderator while Dee is never heard from anymore? That's interesting to me.

 

[KingOfBBN]

the racist original intent of Planned Parenthood? Do you get all of your news from Facebook?

Damned liberals and their evil ways of forcing abortions on minorities without free will.

Are you saying Margaret Sanger didn't say the things she did? Are you also ignoring that 78 percent of these clinics are in minority neighborhoods?

No one makes you get an abortion just like no one forces you to make terrible life decisions, be lazy, refuse to work yet still has someone to blame for it.

I just find it comical that Dems have these voting blocks that are completely conflicting ideologies and have the worst history of the two parties yet still exploits minorities for votes.

Not talking about Clinton exactly, although 40 Benghazi investigations later there still is no evidence of wrongdoing - only the revelation of an illegal server that had nothing to do with the original investigation. It's the birther accusations, the Obama is a Muslim accusations, things like that which strain credulity and make most people who are not dyed in the wool Republicans yawn.

I'm just saying that's the only ticket I think can win for the right. Cruz and Trump will both lose regardless. You may hate Sanders but he is the kind of candidate that can win. He is saying a lot of things people want to here. His campaign will be similar to Barry's.

Are you saying Margaret Sanger didn't say the things she did? Are you also ignoring that 78 percent of these clinics are in minority neighborhoods?

I just find it comical that Dems have these voting blocks that are completely conflicting ideologies and have the worst history of the two parties yet still exploits minorities for votes.

The right has similar voting blocks. A large portion of the rural south depend on social welfare programs yet they still vote Republican. People are dumb. They vote for who sounds the best, who looks the best, who is against or for abortion, who is against or for amnesty. A lot of single issue voters. Then you have folks that are just completely blinded by their ideology or loyalty. The my family has always been democrats/republicans. They vote for who Fox News tells them or who msnbc tells them. People don't even know who the eff they are anymore. So much lack of awareness.

That will hurt Rubio in New Hampshire. Is there a path to the nomination for Rubio if he can't crack the top 2 in Iowa, NH, or SC?

If you think Kasich/Rubio would win, please stick to your side. Those two couldn't beat Jimmy Carter! I get why you'd think it, but your wrong.

And I wouldn't sell Bernie short. The majority of people I talk to under 35 are all seemingly liking him more and more. Pretty f'n scary honestly!

Trump with the right person will absolutely win, but if he is t smart enough to get away from Cruz then he too will have a big hurdle. Republicans honestly just need someone that won't keep voters home because we are clearly ready to vote in record numbers to stop the liberal movement.

 

[Willy4UK]

No one should feel happy with any of the current candidates. Shame on you all. At this point it's pure rationalizing. Go ahead. Lie to yourself.

Look at this garbage. Sanders , Rubio, etc these people get to power based on Shitty ass Americans. I hate you all, and I hope you die a painful death.

I wish I could get cancer and die. Too chicken for suicide, just wish a disease would just kill me dead so I don't have to live with you plebs. Jesus Goddamn Christ. Death can't come soon enough

I know you don't believe that.

 

[krazykats]

Actually what it is basically the people that would vote liberal stay home because they don't believe their candidate will ever help them anyway. Obama was promising too but he has made it worse on the borderline poor/middle class. I'm talking about the ones paying bills but are about a month behind and always playing catch up.

I do believe in Rand Paul, and I genuinely think he is by far the best candidate we could hire. Sadly we won't.

As a nation we truly need to get away from income taxation, at least to a degree. There is simply too much money floating around that wasn't taxes and it puts the working class behind those that evade income taxes.

Where do you think Sanders $18 trillion in new spending is coming from?

 

[fuzz77]

Maybe they realize whats best for them isnt whats best for the national.

Isn't "what's best" for someone/anyone rather subjective? Best for them in what way? Best for the nation in what way?
How are policies that concentrate more and more wealth in fewer and fewer hands better for them or the nation?
If it was settled science about what was best for people then there would be no need for discussion or debate about how people should vote and how people should be governed.

Do not think this gets talked about enough. There is a huge number of folks who are going to show up to the polls with nothing else in mind other than stopping the progressive/socialist movement.

Based upon what? The difference between the voters of 2012 and 2016 are those who have died of and those who have become eligible to vote. There are many more in that second group than in the first and that is the group that is most solidly behind Sanders. If you live in a red state or a blue state for that matter then you've really got little perspective of what really matters when it comes to presidential politics. Already red state voters coming out in record numbers won't affect the overall outcome. What happens in the swing states is pretty much the only thing that matters.

Meanwhile, more huge US companies keep avoiding paying their fair share of taxes by using the tax inversion scheme in which they merge with a smaller foreign country. People may remember Pfizer did this. Johnson controls is the latest, and they will avoid paying 150 billion in tax. This, after we bailed them out in 2008.

It happens all the time, there is a huge wave of companies running to this tax dodge.

Congress refuses to do a damn thing about it.
