Magicboyd25 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I do think Hilary's experience in the Secretary of State position will help if she is elected. I dont have much to add on the other candidates though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adama Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Vermin Supreme will give us all ponies I support his national dental plan. It's time we bridge that gap. 3 Quote If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a roll. There is one you will follow. One who is the shining star, and he will lead you to beautiful places in the search of his own vanity. And when there is no more vanity to be found, he will leave you in darkness, as a fading memory of his own creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Puns Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Actually, I am going for Martin Joseph O'Malley. He's the governor of Maryland a champion for equal rights. O'Malley's great, and he;s obviously been planning to run considering how he acts in office, unless the democrats can pull together a solid candidate I think he could easily gain a majority democratic endorsement. Only problem is that if Hillary goes for it (which I actually don't believe she will) O'Malley would abandon any thoughts of running. But he'd pose as a formidable opponent to lesser known democratic nominees, his name recognition will push him a long ways. I mean, he's a very well known governor and he's got the Aristocats connection to Thomas O'Malley.

Jaime Lannister Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Have to go with Elizabeth Warren, someone who would actually hold Wall Street accountable for their crimes, at least their inevitable future ones. Which of course is why she will never be elected. Quote There are no men like me, there is only me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 So you can be punished for committing a crime before you commit it? I expect Jaime Lannister is alluding to the idea that you generally pass a law with the expectation that there's a good chance that someone will break it. In the case of those who work on Wall Street, I'm absolutely certain their impeccable consciences would prevent that happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Lannister Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) So you can be punished for committing a crime before you commit it? Also, please give me some examples of their crimes. I meant that Wall Street being Wall Street committing fraud is what they do and when they can't help but steal more money she might actually jail them instead of bailing them out. Not some kind of Minority Report pre-crime nonsense. One measly example is the banks outright lying to their customers about the investments they were buying about the risks involved and then betting against those very investments. Selling oragano and calling it weed as Matt Taibbi, my favorite reporter on the financial crimes called it. Or you could look at HSBC who outright laundered money for drug cartels, admitted it and got a slap on the wrist for it. It isn't hard to find wrongdoing after all.

Jaime Lannister Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Stop punishing a whole for only a few. Who said anything about punishing the whole? Its about punishing the guilty and actually providing enforcement so that the guilty are arrested and prosecuted. Unless you are saying that actually policing Wall Street is somehow wrong?

Democrats are the closest thing to a left-wing we as Americans have. I know Democrats are more moderate than Left, but you have to realize in America, you vote either Democrat, or Republican. Sadly, none of the other parties will ever win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meskarune Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 If Hilary runs, she's going to get the democratic party spot on the ballot. People are already fund raising for her campaign and she hasn't even announced candidacy yet. There isn't any other candidate with the name recognition and federal government experience who could gain similar voter support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually funny because Bush's foreign and domestic policies are nearly identical to those of Barrack Obama's.

Aisha Greyjoy Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I don't want to see anymore family dynasties in the white house. I'll always vote against a clinton, kennedy or bush. Its part of my American tradition of being anti-aristocratic. I picked Elizabeth Warren in the poll. I don't think she can beat Hillary Clinton in the primary or a moderate Republican in the general(say, mittens or christie), but she could beat a stark-raving mad teabagger(perry, jindai, santorum, palin). 1 Quote Duke of House Greyjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
