    Some people believe if its good for wall street, it is good for average americans. LOL They still believe in trickle down, even when the utter failure of it is undeniable. Some people cannot change their ideological beliefs only because they cannot admit they were stupid to think it would have worked in the first place For it would make them look stupid, and who wants to admit they were wrong? The GOP has banked on this and are still banking on it.

    So, a bit of humility is in order, for the very future of working people and the middle class depends on it.

    It tells me that America want a monarchy again.

    The Bush family and now the Clintons, the daughter is already being groomed for a run.

    It also suggests a very small talent pool for the to job, the contenders are all professional politicians with a long record of lies and such.

    The US has for decades needed a third party, but they err in coughing up popular but wack job candidates to make a solo run for the presidency. The way to be effective it to start small, go after local seats, then congress.

    People should look at other countries, specifically here in North America and Canada and the rise of the "Reform" which morphed into our conservative government today.

    Frankly I cannot see Hilary bringing anything new to the table, she has no issue and her resume is blood stained. She has more baggage than Samsonite and for some reason she is a shoe in.

    On the other side you have Bush V3.0 and a cadre of also rans, with a carnival act of The Donald in second place.

    God help you all

    Neither should be electable. Hillary because of her record. Bush simply because of his name if nothing else.

    If we can't find better we might as well shut the doors and turn off the lights. We're close to it anyways.

    It's going to be difficult to find much humility among 2016 presidential aspirants. With the exception of Bernie Sanders, the other candidates appear to support the same brand of creditor finance capitalism that's pillaging the Greek population right now. Should the economy crater next year the way it did in '08, maybe US voters will stop "choosing" between Democrat OR Republican in the voting booth?

    "The darkest secret in the big money world of the Republican coastal elite is that the most palatable alternative to a nominee such as Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas or Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky would be Clinton, a familiar face on Wall Street following her tenure as a New York senator with relatively moderate views on taxation and financial regulation.

    “'If it turns out to be Jeb versus Hillary we would love that and either outcome would be fine,' one top Republican-leaning Wall Street lawyer said over lunch in midtown Manhattan last week. 'We could live with either one. Jeb versus Joe Biden would also be fine. It’s Rand Paul or Ted Cruz versus someone like Elizabeth Warren that would be everybody’s worst nightmare.'”

    The nightmare of the 1% might be where the American dream has been hiding? How to convince millions of Americans to start voting their class interests might begin with giving US workers a greater ownership stake in their workplaces

    So because of his last name you are saying that there is an automatic way he will govern?

    Please share with the rest of us what that is exactly.

    No, I'm saying the majority of the populace will not vote for him because of his last name. Life isn't fair, I know that you know that.

    Since 1988: Bush, Bush, Bush, Romney, Hillary, Chafee.

    Sad state of affairs for US politics. Can we officially apply for banana republic status now?

    Actually the opposite is true. Many voters cast their vote by name recognition.

    The left are not going to vote for Bush anyways and the right does not have the issues with Bush that the liberals do.

    So it is most likely that Bush's name will help him, not hurt him.

    Yes, lets vote for the man that wants to let the UN create population control policies.

    Your wife is pregnant again, well sorry but the UN says you have to abort that baby or we will do it for you.

    It says nothing of the sort.

    What it says: Bernie Sanders respects the woman's right to choose thus keeping big GOP government out of our bedrooms.

    Whereas Jeb loves big government in our bedrooms and more intrusion in our personal lives.

    Jeb Bush defaulted on a $4.56 million loan from Broward Federal Savings in Sunrise, Florida. After federal regulators closed the S&L, the office building that Jeb used the $4.56 million to finance was reappraised by the regulators at $500,000, which Bush and his partners paid. The taxpayers had to pay back the remaining 4 million plus dollars.

    The S&L scandal is by no means the only incident of questionable, and actually illegal, financial activity that the Bush family has been involved in. The line of questionable, illegal, and unethical businesses practices goes back at least to Prescott Bush Sr., George Bush Sr.’s father. Prescott Bush was a Senator from 1952 – 1963. Previous to his time as a Senator Prescott was a banker and businessman.

    Prior to the American entry into WWII Prescott Bush was director of Union Banking Corporation. Union Banking Corporation helped to finance Hitler’s regime. The Concentration Camps of Nazi Germany were labor camps that the Nazis used to make products for their regime as well as for sale to raise money. Prescott profited directly from the Auschwitz labor camp.

    In 1942, after Hitler declared war on America the United States government seized the Union Banking Corporation under the Trading with the Enemy Act as a front operation that was supporting the Nazis. Much of the profits from the operation were already pocketed by Prescott however, and $1.5 million was put in a trust fund for George Bush Sr.

    For more on Prescott Bush's ties to the Nazis see:

    Sorry but it doesn't work that way.

    If you give the UN authority to decide how many babies a woman can have then you are taking away that woman's choice to do with her body as she wishes.

    The UN does not have that authority.

    I'm more concerned about the corrupt,arrogant and reckless ways of Jeb.

    They may not have that authority but not because of Sanders.

    He voted to keep funding their efforts to force lower populations.

    Do you really want a president that is willing to turn our sovereignty over to the UN?

    Honestly ... it is not only the name, but many do maybe forget that it is a full clan of several persons which will be elected with him and several of them are for many people a nightmare and personal enemies ... mostly well reasoned. Look only who all had a come back with George W. Bush jun. from his father and even Ronald Reagan time! Look who all and mostly disliked persons of weapon industries and oil industries had suddenly political power and saying in Washington ... not to mention those people which are called to be "financial locusts" in economies and banks who had more power as under Clinton. Many people fear this and the most likely come back of this dark area of the USA!
