Politics in this country has become a joke. It's no longer about the
issues of what's right or wrong. It IS about how much money a candidate
can raise/spend. The offices of power are bought and sold to the highest
bidder. Office holders are bribed every day by the power brokers. It has
gotten so bad that less that half the people in this country even try to
vote.
There's nothing new about that.
Historically, only a small percentage of the population
voted -- a primary reason being that until the federal
government got into the business of wealth transfer,

in who was in charge of the federal government because
the federal government wasn't trying to play mommy
and daddy and rich uncle and demented step-sister
all at the same time.

was elected, let alone ran for president.
It's not the Muslim that's going to take over our country so no need to
worry about what size towel to wrap around your head. It's the religious
far right.
Ask your friends over in London and Paris about
that... neighborhoods where if you're not the
right RELIGION will get you killed (regardless
of what race you are). In the UK, they're
called "no-go zones"

carry around our Bible's. Non Christians will no longer be allowed to
live here. No other religion other than the state approved religion will
be allowed.
Uhhhh....yeah...riiiiight.
Actually, I think I would prefer the Muslim's to what's happening now.
I'll choose Quakers and Amish over the Muslims any day...
I never miss a chance to vote my conscience. I'm a registered voter and
I do it every chance I get. I'm a Viet Nam era veteran. I ENLISTED to

Same here....except I did two stints in the desert war
