You clearly don’t know what the words ‘socialist’ and ‘communist’ actually mean. I suggest you go find out and stop trolling here please.

I’d could with equal accuracy equally offer the counter-argument that Genghis Khan won the Republican debate but in reality he’d be far too left-wing and compassionate for them. I could say that England’s Hannoverian dynasty mad King George III won the republican debate but then he’d be more sane and nice than their actual candidates too!

Call me cynical here but isn’t that true of all politicians?

Also the paid internet followers thing isn’t new and has been done by others globe wide for a while I think.

Eg. our (& how I love to be able to say this now!) former Rightwing climate denier “Captain Catholic”” whackjob PM Tony Abbott here :

Not that it makes doing so right of course. If Hilary Clinton did this it would be wrong of her and also, sadly, predictable typical cynical politics.

“Most of the candidates had the “right” answer — that climate change is real, and important.”

So I take it that means Jim Webb was the one exception there? What’s his problem?

FWIW I like Hillary Clinton. I also like Bernie Sanders. I think Hillary has come in for some pretty unfair treatment from a lot of the media and is more realistically electable than Sanders and I think its time for a woman POTUS. I’m kinda looking forward to seeing how much that makes Republican heads explode and get the are they more sexist than racist or about equally so comparison over the next decade or so!

I also think Bernie Sanders is a good man with a lot of good ideas and would also make a good POTUS. If he helps defuse the word “socialist”as an insult and make it more popular in the USA then that’s a great thing.

I wonder if a unity ticket of Clinton & Sanders would be possible or workable?

I do know that who the US President is affects the whole planet especially our Aussie client kingdom that tends to ask “How high” when the USA says to “Jump!” so, please Americans, please choose wisely!

“I don’t trust Hillary at all. I don’t think she is sincere, but instead says what she thinks will get her elected this time.”

There appears to be evidence that shows Ms. Clinton has paid for “social media” spammers to inflate her twitter and facebook followers, in an attempt to make her appear more popular than she is. That reason alone is enough for me to not only vote against her, but to censure her and her behavior.

“The drug war began it, certainly, but the stake through the heart of police procedure in Baltimore was MARTIN O’MALLEY. He destroyed police work in some real respects. Whatever was left of it when he took over the police department, if there were two bricks together that were the suggestion of an edifice that you could have called meaningful police work, he found a way to pull them apart.”

It’s just that the process of how someone becomes totally FUBAR and spreads the contagion is clinically fascinating. However, don’t confuse the process with the resulting idiot.
