Clinton in a nutshell: Forced with evidence of the truth only to continue to lie, after pushing lies for years to steal a primary from Obama, blames someone else, steals a primary from Sanders.

Well if and when he leads all the polls come election day, then I look forward to that response.

Now admit, aren't you having a lot of fun!

I mean I guess it's fun. I do literally laugh out loud almost every time he opens his mouth. I hardly care for Hillary and I don't recall ever coming out and openly supporting her. I may have said that I will vote for her just because the other option is a bigot and a racist and a psychopath. It does honestly sadden me that there are a lot of people in this country that do literally agree with the things that Trump says.

The notion that conservatives don't care about the less fortunate is a myth.
I believe studies have shown conservatives are actually more charitable than others.
The main difference is that conservatives are more concerned as to what/who their taken tax dollars are being spent on.
I have no problem spending money on good causes.
I do have a problem spending money on those who choose an unsustainable lifestyle.
I see it this way, if every dollar that was spent on those who milk the system (s) was actually spent on those who are doing there best to survive there would actually be a chance said people could indeed work their way out of poverty.
There are too many who choose to do things like claim a disability but often times work for cash under the table and not pay taxes, thus screwing others twice over.
Or those that are capable of working but find it much more convenient to not work and still collect a check.
What's so wrong with wanting to hold those folks accountable?
The anger directed towards people like myself is misguided, that anger should be directed to those who choose to take money from those who actually need it.
People who are living in poverty should be upset with the moochers more so than the rest of us who are actually working our asses off to take care of our own and also helping those in need.
We need to quit being enablers.

What things?

And by a lot of people do you mean 50% of America?

You racist, homophobic, privileged white elitist. How dare you try to justify your thoughts on personal responsibility when you have no idea the struggle the other half lives!

Now that I got that out of the way... Sincerely, this is an awesome post. I agree with every single word.

I agree. Everyone who is able bodied needs to work. Insurance needs to be available to all at a cost that is compatible with their income.

[houdini]

If you have to make that many posts in a row and can't figure out multi-quote, this is not the place for you to be posting.

[houdini]

This is not the place to increase your post count - nor is it the place for insults.

I have no problem suspending anyone until after the election.

If you can't post civilly, stay out until you grow up.

Well your comprehension skills are clearly in good working order seeing as I already said that. Well done!

Also, while I've not researched this, someone on this thread stated that it actually costs more to execute someone than keep them locked up. So the absence of capital punishment is apparently saving me money. Cha-ching.

Finally, while the comment wasn't directed at me, I'm pissing myself laughing at the thought of the US being the worlds saviour. (BTW, Australia has a population of 23 million, compared to the USA's 320 million. You're in a much better position to absorb a few hundred thousand refugees than they are.)

Edit: Before someone pulls me up on it, I'm well aware that we are all indebted to the USA for its intervention in both world wars, even if they joined reluctantly on both occasions.

Why are people that live in other countries even in this thread.

[VeedonFleece]

Because nowhere does it say we're not allowed.

So because we have 320 million, that automatically qualifies us to "absorb" a few hundred thousand more people? $20 trillion in debt, 11 million illegals here already, and 90 million unemployed, yet you think because we have so many people, we should be able to do this? Cool story bro

When you put it like that, it makes you wonder why even a refugee would want to live there.

Your 'cool story bro' comment makes you look big and clever though. Chapeau!

Edit: 90 million unemployed, huh?

Because America is part of global society and our politics have repercussions that affect the rest of the world.

Maybe so they can blow something up?

[Astros19]

I don't care that those outside the U.S. post here in this thread.
Hell, some of you are funny.
With that said, if they don't live in the U.S. I really don't care what they say either.
No offense intended, but if one doesn't live here and experience what's happening here, I don't put a lot of stock in their opinions.
