So the old lesser of two evils. That's your choice to make. However that game is why we have what we have today and I refuse to play it anymore.This same criticism about money and power can be leveled at Trump's feet, as well. So this argument is a zero sum game. What it comes down to is intelligence and demeanor. IMO, Clinton wins both categories with ease. Do I wish I had better choices from both parties? Certainly. But I don't so I will opt with the candidate with more knowledge and experience.
Yes, that is the choice I am making. The last time we had anyone as simple-minded and unexperienced as Trump in the oval office he left us with the worst terrorist attack in our history, a rise in radical islamic movement, two wars and the worst economy since the depression. So yes, I will take the person with more experience.So the old lesser of two evils. That's your choice to make. However that game is why we have what we have today and I refuse to play it anymore.
Two kind of important points I feel I should make here:https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6008
Podesta discussing "wet works" (KGB slang for assassination) 3 days before Scalia died. Saying "we better buckle up and double down" while the person he's discussing with says the "bedwetters" are nervous about it.![]()

Whoa. One of the conspiracy theories at the time related to Scalia murdered because of upcoming rulings that would adversely affect Monsanto. (I vaguely remember reading this).
Podesta was emailing with...
Steve Elmendorf (who said "I am all in" in the email) is a lobbyist for Monsanto

Big Campaign Cash for Clinton From Monsanto Lobbyist http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34688-big-campaign-cash-for-clinton-from-monsanto-lobbyist
Wait a minute. Both Reddit AND 4chan said it's "Undeniable Proof." You seem less sure than that, so I'm going with them.Two kind of important points I feel I should make here:
1. February 9, 2016 was the night of the New Hampshire primaries, won handily by Bernie Sanders. Do you honestly think when two Clinton supporters are saying that "it will be a bad nite" and "we need to buckle up and double down" they're talking about a planned assassination four days later and not a loss in the first primary of the campaign that same night?
2. You really should consider staying away from reddit and conspiracy theory blogs. Just my![]()
It's going to be a fun 8 yearsHere's one thing I find absolutely amazing- there's a huge parade of dip####s in that reddit thread and all over the internet spouting that nonsense about the Podesta/Ehlendorf "wet works" email and stretching to guess it applies to something that happened a few days later. Literally dozens upon dozens of people who spend a ton of time internet sleuthing to put this sort of thing together.
Yet NOT ONE of them thought to themselves "hey, maybe I should google 'February 9 2016 Clinton' to see if maybe they're talking about something way more obvious." Because that's literally all I did to solve this great mystery. It took me ten seconds.
Clinton is going to take us into more wars. She has made it pretty clear. Expect a further rise in radical Isalm.Yes, that is the choice I am making.

Looks like they are also combing google maps for vineyards near the Texas ranch or something with Scalia. How can not one see something referred to the Vineyard and not just assume it's Martha's Vineyard and just a reference to saying basically this week is not going to be like a fun vacation.Here's one thing I find absolutely amazing- there's a huge parade of dip####s in that reddit thread and all over the internet spouting that nonsense about the Podesta/Ehlendorf "wet works" email and stretching to guess it applies to something that happened a few days later.

TBogg Michelle Obama is absolutely the best Clinton surrogate right now. Killing it on the stump.
Disagree. She has said no more ground troops. This means no escalation of current policy, which seems to be working. (You will obviously take issue with that because it doesn't fit your narrative, but Mosul will fall soon and recruiting numbers for ISISare almost non existent)Clinton is going to take us into more wars. She has made it pretty clear. Expect a further rise in radical Isalm.
Can't establish no fly and safe zones without boots on the ground and massive civilian casualties. She has called for both as recently as a few days ago. She is a Neocon we will be in more wars.Disagree. She has said no more ground troops. This means no escalation of current policy, which seems to be working. (You will obvious take issue with that because it doesn't fit your narrative, but Mosul will fall soon and recruiting numbers for ISISare almost non existent) I believe an intelligent person can learn from their mistakes. An unintelligent person--like Trump--can't even admit he has made a mistake blames everyone else.
I think Barack and Michelle are 1a and 1b right now. Michelle definitely has the presence and smarts to run after Hilldog's terms.Michelle Obama is absolutely the best Clinton surrogate right now. Killing it on the stump.
Boom...it has just come out why they targeted Scalia and it has to do with an oil tycoon named Victor Mattiece. He was looking to drill on Louisiana marshland which is a major habitat of an endangered species of pelican.https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6008

A no fly zone without ground troops accomplishes nothing in the end. ISIS doesn't have planes. They will still be killing people on the ground. To create a no fly zone will take massive civilian casualties as Syria placed their AA batteries in neighborhoods.NOPE. Ground troops are not a requirement for a no fly zone: http://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2015/05/everything-you-need-know-about-no-fly-zones/111898/
Enforcing a no-fly zone usually requires a large amount of military forces, including aircraft, the operators who fly them, and support personnel to protect and maintain them. Unless the no-fly zone is relatively small, it will take multiple flying units operating different kinds of aircraft.
NC Commish is consistent. I don't agree with him on Hillary, but I would never accuse him of hypocrisy. Of course he was opposed to Iraq.Good grief. Really? The no fly zone isn't directed at ISIS, rather it is directed at the Russians.
You keep painting this issue with "massive casualties" to try and win this point. It is not valid here. And, if you main concern "massive casualties" I assume you were just as indignant when Bush decided to invade Iraq, or just as indignant over the mounting casualties in Aleppo.
He was.Good grief. Really? The no fly zone isn't directed at ISIS, rather it is directed at the Russians.

Yeah I was and am, you must be new here. I was one of the lone voices against the invasion of Iraq.Good grief. Really? The no fly zone isn't directed at ISIS, rather it is directed at the Russians.

I'm going to need a brief.Boom...it has just come out why they targeted Scalia and it has to do with an oil tycoon named Victor Mattiece. He was looking to drill on Louisiana marshland which is a major habitat of an endangered species of pelican.
you weren't completely alone GBYeah I was and am, you must be new here. I was one of the lone voices against the invasion of Iraq.
And what do you think happens when we shoot down a Russian plane? And even Hillary acknowledged there would be large scale civilian casualties with establishing a no fly zone in 2011.
True but we were seriously outnumbered.you weren't completely alone GB![]()
It will never be over until Assad steps down. We need to keep supporting the Syrian people until that happens.And what is the exit strategy? What is a win? How do we keep Syria from being Iraq 2.0? Haven't heard much on that.
We enforced no fly zones over north and south Iraq for ~10 years, with 0 ground troops.A no fly zone without ground troops accomplishes nothing in the end. ISIS doesn't have planes. They will still be killing people on the ground. To create a no fly zone will take massive civilian casualties as Syria placed their AA batteries in neighborhoods.
These are all good questions that should have before asked by the Bush administration before they foolishly decided to invade Iraq. At this point it is about damage control and limiting massive casualties, as was your main objection to a no fly zone.And what is the exit strategy? What is a win? How do we keep Syria from being Iraq 2.0? Haven't heard much on that.
Were they safe zones? You know preventing casualties on the ground that have nothing to do with planes. You guys keep forgetting that part.We enforced no fly zones over north and south Iraq for ~10 years, with 0 ground troops.
Why would we ask questions of the Bush administration about Iraq to determine the answers for those same questions with regard to Syria? Incidentally, NCC is asking these questions AGAIN like he and a few others did with Iraq. My guess is, the government won't ask those questions of themselves with Syria just like they didn't with Iraq.....SSDD.These are all good questions that should have before asked by the Bush administration before they foolishly decided to invade Iraq.

What do you mean "won't"? They already didn't - and with Clinton, have no intention of worrying about the aftermath.Why would we ask questions of the Bush administration about Iraq to determine the answers for those same questions with regard to Syria?

They were set up to protect the Shia and Kurds from Saddam's warplanes, and after a downed Sukhoi or two they worked beautifullyWere they safe zones? You know preventing casualties on the ground that have nothing to do with planes. You guys keep forgetting that part.
Yeah NCC, Clinton's plan to put the ISIS air force in check is brilliant.They were set up to protect the Shia and Kurds from Saddam's warplanes, and after a downed Sukhoi or two they worked beautifully
You doing OK, amnesia maybe?
Who said anything about ISIS?Yeah NCC, Clinton's plan to put the ISIS air force in check is brilliant.
Right I am completely irrational. She has said she wants a more muscular foreign policy. That means more military interventions. She has said Obama's foreign policy is silly. Obama is also against the no fly zones by the way. And if you read the first post before you jumped in we were talking about both no fly zones and safe zones which Hillary has said she wants. BTW you don't need planes to kill people on the ground. As ISIS proves daily.They were set up to protect the Shia and Kurds from Saddam's warplanes, and after a downed Sukhoi or two they worked beautifully
You said specifically a no fly zone won't work without troops. You're talking out your ### about this stuff. Your guesswork about what HC will do with these situations is no better than anybody else's. But your concerns strike me as completely irrational. And if you prefer Trump, you're off your rocker.
