KSB2424 3,173 Posted March 5, 2016 Gocolts has told us a handful of time that his candidate is Cruz.Who is 'us'? You guys act like we all sit around in one big circle and talk to one another taking notes. I'm sure at some Timmy Smith or a Mike Honcho prolly said so too in a thread, maybe several times. But I dont recall if they did, hopefully if someone was to ask they would merely just answer. Not everybody reads the same threads, let alone posts. I didn't recall him ever really saying, only noticed he apologized for both Cruz and Trump in the threads I have read. So I asked a simple question. One that could have been answered and met with one word. Instead we got a barrage of manic posts. Over asking a question. It's weird, dumb and rather mental. Sorry.

Voltaire 5,471 Posted March 5, 2016 I've seen him post his preference at least on three occasions maybe more. As for why he's being coy now, that's for him to explain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 15,911 Posted March 5, 2016 as opposed to everyone else we see up there? This is the funniest part about it. People acting like there is some sort of great alternative. Sanders is an honest man, but he sealed his fate years ago calling himself a socialist. It's just never going to fly in America. He would be better off if he were gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Kasich was in a heated race for Govener in 2010. His opponent pulled out all the stops. And he still won after being vetted. Also he has years and years of experience to look at. A persons history and resume and voting history is.....what it is. There is actual substance to look at and rely upon. You're pulling the 'he's the biggest con man of them all' out of your arse.

I wonder how he voted all those years about Wall Sreeet oversight and regulation? He did the bidding of the biggest crooks on the planet and was rewarded handsomely for his efforts. And we got to pay for a lot of his bounty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a General Election there are two things and pretty much two things only a Hillary Machine could hit Kasich on. 1. He is a Pro Life Conservative. Absolutely, and the left will bring this topic up in November no matter what. But so is Cruz and Rubio. I would say Trump but he changes stances daily so who knows. 2. Kasich held a Director position for a local Lehmens Brothers Bank in Ohio. That name automatically gives an opponent something to bring up. However his opponent for Govener ran that rabbit hole all the way to the bottom. And it didn't stick. Because Kasich wasn't on the board of directors, wasn't in the 'mortgage' wing of the company and didn't make high level decisions that rooned that company. Kasich also has released all his tax returns those years which is how everybody knows his salary and compensation while there. It's a negative based on association, yes, and it gives the tin foil hat conspiracy folks (see post above) ammo. But he's been vetted extensively on it and there was nothing more than what we know already. Other than that his record speaks for itself. And it's impressive.

MDC 7,859 Posted March 5, 2016 Kasich as the nominee with Rubio as his running mate is to me the most viable GE ticket the Reps have. Trump has no shot at all and frankly I don't think Cruz is much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're not seeing what his job with Lehamn was all about. He wasn't given that job for what he would do for them, he was given that job because of what he had done for them as a member of congress. It was a reward. Wall Street and the banks and many corporations do it all the time. Sure, it's not money in a briefcase for his support and votes, but it has the same affect. So saying what he did while at Lehamn misses the mark. His work was already done. But it's not like Hillary is going to be able to tag him with it. She's just as bad.

You have fun thinking and imagining stuff in your head. I didnt say it was nefarious. No laws were broken, but he is part of, and had a great benefit from, our broken system. Of course nothing he did was illegal, how could it be when the ones that benefit from it wrote that laws? This is the same system that brought about an economic collapse, and the ones who designed it and ultimately benefited from it have never been held accountable. And they want to do it again. Kasich said the other night that he wants to do away with regulations. What do you think he's talking about? Do you think he's talking about some zoning law? He's talking about getting rid of the capital requirements for borrowing, which is what got us in the mess in the first place, but made his masters rich. Where do I sign up? I telling you, the guy is way more dangerous than people see. Aw shucks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's been in the middle of business-politics and that marraige for over 40 years. He brags about paying off politicians for his own gain. Trump isnt the anti-crony capitalism. He IS the crony capitalism. That's the irony of this whole election cycle. Look, the point is that Kasichs few years in the public sector has been vetted. I'm sure people will use it against him. Fine, it should be vetted. But that's pretty much all they got, and that well is damn near dry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno, you're kind of losing me on #2. I mean I just don't buy that he was some low level regional peon guy. Not after being a US Congressman. And if he was, well then why is he good enough to be president if he couldn't land a big gig at Lehman? Yeah that issue could sink him for me but I'd have to know more. Also presumably he'd be going against Hillary and she's probably just as much of a shill if not even moreso, so I guess it wouldn't matter so much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 4,275 Posted March 7, 2016 The Republicans need to nip this now, and stop this nonsense... infighting and bickering allows someone like Trump to gain steam and momentum, banding together is the best way to head this off. In March 1933 17,264,296 German people voted for the National Socialist party, 20,680,000 others split their votes between democrats, communists etc....a lack of unity allows the people with the biggest voice, based on anger, who make tons of claims and promises in....and that is not all the great....

KSB2424 3,173 Posted March 7, 2016 And y'all thought it was cool that one of our own, ~stick, was in politics. Well, RLLD may have just been outed as the President of Mexico. Mexico's president has said his country will not pay for White House hopeful Donald Trump's proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, and likened his "strident tone" to the ascent of dictators like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. President Enrique Pena Nieto's comments, published in Monday's Excelsior newspaper, were among the most critical public comments yet by a foreign leader of the New York billionaire. Asked by Excelsior whether there was a "scenario" under which Mexico would pay if Trump won the presidency, Pena Nieto was clear. "There is no scenario," he said. "I have to say that I regret (the plan), and of course, I can't agree with this American politician's position." Trump, who has also aroused concern among many in his own party with his proposals, has accused Mexico of sending rapists and drug runners across the border and vowed to increase fees on some Mexican visas and all border crossing cards to help make Mexico pay for the wall. Pena Nieto attacked the "populism" of the Trump campaign, which he said sought to put forward "very easy, simple solutions to problems that are obviously not that easy to solve." "And there have been episodes in human history, unfortunately, where these expressions of this strident rhetoric have only led to very ominous situations in the history of humanity," the Mexican president added. "That's how Mussolini got in, that's how Hitler got in, they took advantage of a situation, a problem perhaps, which humanity was going through at the time, after an economic crisis.
