Political Nonsense
« on: June 30, 2015, 03:10:30 pm »
It is getting ready to start, all  political antics for the upcoming election for president. Are you ready, i'm not I will be glad when it's over and it has not really began yet.

Gag me.  :-X All you see on television during the campaign season are people lying about one another to make them look bad, while never saying what they will actually do to change things. Wouldn't it be refreshing if they did.

I will personally be getting 20 or so automated phone calls per day which only serve to annoy. 

I would absolutely love it if the candidates would actually do REAL debates again. I'd like to hear ALL potential candidates stating their TRUE positions without 2-minute time limits and without a moderator giving his/her own slant on things during the debate.

It seems ludicrous to me that the candidates all know the questions beforehand and answer like robots. It might be more fun if they just used robots to give out the answers. I suppose everyone is afraid to make a slip-up on camera. Heaven forbid!

I'm already sick of it, especially Donald Trump's bs he keeps spewing.

It's a headache for all involved: The candidates struggle to get attention; voters are .....confused

It can get pretty ugly but I do try to pay attention as the election gets closer.  I don't feel I have the right to crab about what goes on with our politicians if I don't vote and I don't want to vote without being informed.

Yeah I already know who I'm voting for so I just ignore all the other bs.

Political ads mean nothing to me.  I only care about the facts which, sadly, can be difficult to discern.
I'm already sick of the verbal attacks on Hillary simply because she's female.

Hillary will just bring a bubble of hope only to burst it. Rand Paul is a decent candidate who will help us get rid of the unnecessary government agencies and control we have. It will take some time to unravel all the damage Obama has done.

I frankly think it is impossible for one man or woman to fix the USA. I don't think our current President or future can fix it quickly. I appreciate all who try but I don't think fussing and fighting in a debate is really necessary to help the USA. Keep it professional Pres candidates

I think Trump, should lead now. Change the rules like he does. The greater question should be, would Donald Trump be willing to support the winner, even if it is Carly Fiorina.
