So agree. A Clinton/Bush election is a win for Wall Street.

Warren would need large corporate donors to win. Obama started as a "never going to take money from corporations" candidate then changed when Hillary was kicking his ass. To win the nod she'd need to lose her populist street cred or ...lose. I think she'll refuse it and it will be Hillary this time, her the next.

For Rand to win he'd have to back down from his anti-DOD budget comments and I'm not sure he'll do that or he'll lose credibility and Hillary would win anyway.

We're looking at Bush-Clinton.

Jeb and Hillary could beat each other up over this:

As Obamacare Boosts Tenet Healthcare, Jeb Bush And Hillary Clinton Win (http://www.forbes.com/sites/brucejapsen/2014/12/21/as-obamacare-boosts-tenet-healthcare-jeb-bush-and-hillary-clinton-win/)


Just five days before Tenet Healthcare THC -0.29% board member and former Florida governor Jeb Bush said last week he would form an exploratory committee to run for President of the United States, the giant hospital operator said it would sponsor a major event with ties to Hillary Clinton near Palm Springs in January.

If the polls are correct, it means Tenet, a big benefactor of the Affordable Care Act, has close relationships with the front-runners for the 2016 presidential nominations of the nation’s two political parties. And the for-profit hospital chain isn’t shy about hyping its ties to either presidential hopeful.

In a corporate announcement Dec. 11, Tenet touted its “presenting” sponsorship of the “Clinton Health Matters Activation Summit,” which is put on by the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

...Tenet, which operates two of its 80 hospitals in the affluent Coachella Valley where the summit will take place, has been a strong supporter of the Affordable Care Act. The law has helped Tenet increase admissions and revenue growth not seen in years.

Jeb Bush has been a Tenet board member since 2007. As speculation increases about a Jeb Bush candidacy for the GOP nomination, more coverage has emerged with at least one report saying he has an “Obamacare problem.” Bush, the son of and brother of presidents, has criticized the health law but has made more than $2 million as a Tenet board member, the New York Times reported earlier this year. Other more recent reports have cited Bush along with Tenet’s string of health care fraud probes and settlements with regulators.

They were told this of that Bush policy was a mistake. Whatever they're told to do, they'll do. It's a herd mentality you see displayed time and again in here.

I voted for him twice..and am still proud of that fact. And of course Bush made mistakes, those that make no mistakes...aren't f'n trying. The media and Democrats in a most disingenuous manner retold the Bush Presidency, the sheep that listened did so wanting to her what they were being told. You'll find most when starting to harp off about the Bush Presidency, the Iraq War, or any Bush policy initiatives, they've no clue what they're yawning on about.

False dichotomy. As is the case with all partisan argument, it lacks facts or logic or both.

The problem is the corrupt cronyism of the system. This was demonstrated several posts above exposing both Bush and Clinton ties to a corporate donor. Voting is not part of the solution since is lends support and gives sanction to the system, the corrupt cronyism.

Nonsense, people like you walk away. Others realize the ship doesn't turn with a mere whiff of breeze nor to suit your personal liking. Change must come from within. There are stark differences between parties now I can easily point out. Stark differences highlighted by recent events and elections. Establishment candidates have been defeated, Tea Party or other 'independent' Republican interests getting creamed as well. The Republican Party itself had undergone changes just within the last 8 years, I cannot see a Rand Paul being a serious candidate even 8 years ago.

But look to your post there, Pete. If someone else comes in and votes the 'Establishment' out....yourself an other Independents will return to the polls? Why not return...get active...change the process from within...get involved rather than standing there biitching and moaning?

Just for Sage! :cool:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQqHzPzQsMg Also the guillotine-fodder Preppies get privileged positions in politics and business. Hereditary power is the secret malignant tumor that has destroyed all civilizations. But historians and social analysts are palace guards trained at that obsolete aristocratic institution, the university. Their main job is to hide the truth under elaborate disguises.

The establishment of both parties is the same coin. Two different sides. Most people fall for it. And the rest fall for the Libretardians and the Greenie eco-eunuchs.

But look to your post there, Pete. If someone else comes in and votes the 'Establishment' out....yourself an other Independents will return to the polls? Why not return...get active...change the process from within...get involved rather than standing there biitching and moaning?


My my point too.

Peter wants everything he wants.

And he wants us to serve it to him on a silver platter.

i think the fence sitters do not want to ever be on the winning team because then they will be on the hook along with us if something goes wrong, as it always does.

If we manage to kick the establishment out while you sit on your ass then don't bother showing up for your unearned reward.

Because the sidelines will be your permanent home.

But I think the elites are too entrenched to defeat without the help of everyone.

Even you. Representativism is elitist and should be replaced by frequent national referenda. We should elect an official to judge which bills should be ratified by the people.

"Wise stewards" has obviously been a continuous unrealistic hope we've been stuck on far too long. The ruling class has had its chance to give us some. Because of its failure to do so, that whole concept should be judged as a deceptive and self-serving fantasy allowing them to re-package their mercenary political merchandise. Those who support this collapsing elitist theory of an oligarchic republic should quit offering us more of it by suggesting more pre-owned candidates and deceptive alternative parties.

I'll stick with the wisdom of the Founding Fathers who knew what they were doing.

But the current system isn't running very smoothly at the moment, is it?

Incorrect.

It is very simple. I won't vote for the establishment. It is simply impossible to express my self any clearer.


Has humanity suddenly gone stupid? Don't nominate establishment, and then ask for my vote.

I don't think you are going to affect the establishment wandering around in the bushes waiting for your ideal candidate to descend from the heavens.

The GOP establishment will bend to pressure but only if you make the effort.

Fence sitters are not persuadable.

They hate repubs (mostly over the social issues I suspect) and prefer democrat party rule if they can't get everything they want from the GOP.

Then get off the fence, mac.

I see you're back to making things up. Hate Reps? Prefer Dems? Why do you need to lie? Why would I vote for Reps when you represent yourself as one but lie like that?

In the old days, the only people who were preaching, "This is a republic, not a democracy" were the Kochist wackos of the John Birch Society. Drifting without a paddle, now such fringe ideas on the Right and the Left are mainstream, which has carried us up Sh**t's Creek.
