    Republicans are nowhere near as racist as Democrats. All one has to do is look at 1) their support for Affirmative Action, by far, the largest amount of racist discrimination against the largest number of victims (Whites), for 51 years now. And 2) the Obama/Sharpton campaign to bully cities into anti-cop policies, promoting Black anger (and sometimes riots) to boost votes for Democrats.

    What you call warmongering , may be simply the result of being starved for information by liberal OMISSION media, which doesn't report many things. Ar eyou aware that Pakistan has 100+ nuclear warheads and millions of jihadists striving to get a hold of them. why do you think US troops need to be nearby in Afghanistan ? For nothing ? Are you aware that ISIS is striving to purchase nukes with the wealth they now have,? and getting richer every day.

    And do you think there is any way other than war, to insure the Iranians don't annihilate the USA with a nuclear bombardment ? I don't think there is, and if you have any idea how, let's hear it.

    I've BEEN answering that all through this thread, and frankly, I'm a bit worn out from it now. I'd say read my posts, and you have lots of answers.

    Almost everything you mentioned the republican candidates promised last year during the elections; to date nothing has changed. All America got was an empty bag from the republicans. Perhaps this is why people are going to vote democrat.

    Both Bush's killed hundreds of thousands with the Gulf Wars, murderers. What did these wars accomplish? nothing. The first gulf war birthed Bin Laden and Al Qaeda's quest to kill Americans. Bin Laden himself always stated that the US occupation in sacred land (Saudi Arabia) during gulf war was the main reason he turned against US (he was an ally before then).

    1st gulf war - hundreds of thousands killed, thousands of innocent people, Saddam stayed in power, thousands of americans killed and the rise of Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. This war ultimately led to 09/11

    2nd gulf war - under false pretenses, Americans lied to about Saddam have weapons of mass destruction. Thousands killed, including Americans and innocent civilians. What do we have now? ISIS.. 100 times worse than Saddam Hussein.

    Not to mention, trillions in costs, adding to debt.

    Now you are talking about going to war with Iran under false pretenses again, claiming Iran will have nuclear weapons and use them. #1, part of these negotiations is to ensure Iran doesn't get nuclear weapons and they won't. #2 Iran may be devious but they are not dumb. Iran is more modern than many westerners think, many people there are very western and educated. The leaders are controversial and the worship of Islamic primitive beliefs is backwards but these guys are not stupid, they are smart. To think that Iran will use a nuclear weapon against Israel is insane. They know that this will be their end, Israel will annihilate Iran and nuke them out of the map, not to mention the US will join in and destroy Iran. So... who the f is stupid enough to think Iran has this grand plan to destroy themselves? A nuke attack on Israel will ensure the absolute end of Iran, millions killed and Iran reduced to a desert of corpses.

    Stop being so f dumb...

    Where did I state that I am a Hillary supporter? Assuming only makes you look ignorant of my stand on the candidates and Political Parties. So, which Repub clowns have shown they can govern, the leader of the clown college has never even held public office and among the entire group only two have shown they have a clue when it comes to actual governing? You might want to swallow your pride and rant less the odds are Jeb will be your only choice, the GOP leadership will make sure of that. Just think Bush verses Clinton, one more time, a huge number of voters will pass on the election, after all what would be the point. Enjoy

    I see you fall for rhetoric and complete BS. Most partisan nutters do that. Both sides. When it comes to nuts and bolts, both parties will agree.
    You claim the R policy on immigration beats the D's. Have you ever seen any action done by R's different than D's. NO. Me either. So words ring hollow. Actions is what you need to go by. And those actions are the same. Why? Because the campaign donors want it that way. They want that foreign labor. They lobby, secretly, for lax foreign labor.

    As for tax policies, they are tilted towards the top of the rung. When the likes of Romney only have to pay less than 15% of their income as tax, that is titled in their favor. It is why the wage gap has been increasing from top to bottom.
    So go by the actions, not by hollow words.
    And if you're a minority, look to policies that want to discriminate. Gay marriage being the latest example.

    Because they are often the lesser of two evils and the two-party system is an unfortunate reality. I don't vote straight ticket, but I do vote for Democrats more often than Republicans. I vote for whoever I believe the best candidate is. When I'm feeling idealistic, that sometimes means voting for someone that I know won't win. When I'm feeling practical, it depends on the office, the issues and stake and the candidates.

    I hope you are wrong. Clinton v bush will keep me away. We don't need anymore lifers of multiple generation politicians destroying the country. But I fear you are correct, the leadership of both parties will do all in their power to get the 2 candidates they want in the run for prez.
    Real voters have very little say. Money and pressure of party leaders will weed them out for us and the people have virtually no say.

    Is it not the mark of effective propaganda that you believe everything else is propaganda except for what you're being told because what you're being told sounds good?

    But FOX news is only reporting from their perspective of things. They choose what to report and how to report it just like the liberal stations you mention. There is literally no difference in the quality and reliability of a FOX news broadcast compared to those other channels. The only difference is that they report the news with a right-leaning slant instead of a left-leaning slant. You watch FOX news because you like what you hear and the views and tone expressed there match your own. It makes you feel comfortable to hear things that appear to confirm your biases.

    Yes I've seen some of the token liberals on FOX news. If they aren't meek little lambs who bow to the conservatives after putting forth a pathetic argument, they are big scary monsters that the conservatives can point to and tell you to be afraid. It's a show, a performance, a production. It's not news. If you think the liberals you see on FOX news are representative of actual liberals, they've got you more hooked than I thought.

    I asked you to cite the sources you used to make the blanket statements about people that you made in post #40, which was the post I quoted in my initial reply to you. Just so you're aware, I know you don't have sources or a basis for those blanket statements other than fully buying into the stereotypes you've been told to believe, I just wanted to see which of the cliched arguments you'd use to support making ignorant statements like that.

    After years of listening to repub lies and distortions and researching their claims, a more accurate question is why would anyone honest or sane vote for a repub.

    Republicans controlled Congress and the Presidency under Bush, why did they not fix immigration?

    republicans believe in smaller government that does nothing.... they believe corps will fix the worlds woes if we just give them bigger tax cuts.. tax cuts for the rich is their answer to every problem

    You ask a simple question. OK, here is a simple answer. People vote Democrat because they want to get free stuff from the government and never have to work again. For a lot of the last six and a half years they have been getting exactly what they want.

    Congressmen can't make promises when there is a Democratic president.;

    That's been refuted dozens of times in the thread.

    >>>MOD EDIT Flamebait Removed<<<
    You're talking about fundamental Muslim loonies. They value death more than life, didn't you know ?

    Didn't you also know that US troops are in Afghanistan to ward off nuclear attack against the US ? And don't you know that they are needed in Iraq/Syria for the same reason ? And as I've been saying repeatedly through this thread, guesses about what Iran will or won't do, are GAMBLES. I don't gamble with the nuclear annihilation of the US. Apparently you do. Looks like we have a difference in perspective. Oh well.

    Where did I say that I said you were a Hillary supporter ? Take your own advice and not be so assuming. Am I not allowed to talk about Hillary Clinton in general, without you thinking it pertains to you ?

    Well, you got the "what would be the point ?" part right. Jeb and Hillary. Both immigrationists. More destruction of America either way. I doubt that Jeb will be the candidate though. He doesn't seem to have the fire in his belly. He's almost as dull as Hillary.

    Those who say that there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats on immigration are making a laughingstock out of themselves. Is this what liberal media is programming you guys to come out here and say ? Just because your liberal media doesn't utter a word about all the anti-immigration legislation Republicans have been proposing and fighting for, and you have no idea about it, doesn't mean it hasn't been there. It would take me days to list even half of it, so let's do this. We can use the research done by NumbersUSA to evaluate the candidates on immigration, their grading scores,

    Here's the scores >>>

    Democrats

    Hillary - F......Bernie -F-.........Biden - F-....... O'Malley - F-......Webb - D+........Chafee - F

    Republicans

    Bush - D+........Trump - C+........Walker - B-........Rubio - D.........Carson - C-.........Santorum - A...........Cruz - C.........Perry - C.........Cristie - C-........Jindal - C-........

    Fiorina - C-.........Huckabee -C-..........Paul - D+.........Kasich - D.........Graham - F

    www.NumbersUSA.com/2016

    And the policy I see that wants to discriminate is Affirmative Action, supported by Democrats.

    What I said, flew right over your head.
    I said they talk the good talk, but actions is what you need to go by.
    Never has the R's did anything about immigration. Why? The lobbying world, representing the corporate world, wants the cheap labor.

    R's didn't even bring the subject up from 2000-2006. When they could do most things they wanted.
    Until you understand the difference between BS talk to get sheeple riled up and actions, when they have power, you will always be misinformed. And continue to make a laughing stock of oneself.
