like I said.....don't matter....sit back and watch the corrupted circus clowns.....ALL OF THEM....dem or rep!

Why does Bumbler care about the 2016 elections...
He doesn't even vote, and says it doesn't matter who wins.

Yet he keeps posting on an issue that he doesn't believe in.

Conservatives Are Furious That Trump Is Distracting From Planned Parenthood

Quoted Text
Republican presidential candidate and noted abortion flip-flopper Donald Trump
has yet to make a statement on a pair of sting videos that allege Planned Parenthood
affiliates are selling tissue from aborted fetuses for profit.

His silence on the issue enraged conservative commentators and right-leaning political
observers on two levels. On one hand, they blasted the mainstream media for
conveniently glomming onto the latest Trump sound bite instead of substantively
covering the sting videos. On the other hand, they suggested Trump
was missing an opportunity to use his high profile to draw further attention to the
Planned Parenthood controversy.

Quoted Text
“Trump will lose, and Trump supporters will wake up with a combination I call
‘herpes and a hangover.’ They may have had fun the night before, but they’ll regret
the hangover for a day. However, if Trump’s games in this campaign lead to the election
of Hillary Clinton, they’ll regret the herpes a lot longer.”

Trump threatens third-party run

Quoted Text
Donald Trump says the chances that he will launch a third-party White House run
will “absolutely” increase if the Republican National Committee is unfair to him during
the 2016 primary season.


WOO HOO!!!  Hillary Wins!!!

"Dump MEDICARE",  Jeb Bush

Quoted Text
Jeb Bush, who is being sold to America as the moderate from the almost twenty
Republicans now running to be the GOP's presidential nominee, told an audience
at a Koch Brothers event in New Hampshire, he's squarely with those that
want to dismantle Medicare, one of America's most important safety net programs
for the elderly.

(No surprise there.  Why would anyone who actually works for a living ever vote
for a Republican? )

It's always those politicians that are financially secure and receive lifetime benefits paid for by taxpayers,
that want to attack the benefits intended for
the average working individual...which is likely 98% of the population

the so called 'dumping medicare/Medicaid/social security' or any other government program has been floated around for decades.
this really is nothing new.
two things need to be taken into consideration here....
ONE - if medicare/Medicaid/social security were to be abolished....it would be generational.
it would be phased out over generations and replaced with another system, be it another government program or private.
SECOND- medicare/Medicaid have already been downsized, so to say.
the re-imbursements from the government have been cut drastically over the last decade or so.
it's becoming too costly.
but in any case....when any politician floats the idea about 'dumping medicare/Medicaid or even social security....it would take a few generations before another system was in place.
My question to any politician that suggests this would be.....'what private of government system will replace it if any at all'?
then you go from there.....

When the Republicans voted (54 times) to abolish ObamaCare, they had no alternative
to replace it.

My question to any politician would be, WILL YOU FOREGO YOUR LIFETIME BENEFITS YOU
GET AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE AND THEN UTUILIZE THE SAME SYSTEM YOU PUT IN PLACE FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON?

ANSWER IS LIKELY - NO (but given as a runaround response, never direct)

I agree. but you know and I know and everyone else knows that's not gonna happen.
unfortunately, folks don't care what the politico's get.....folks want a piece of the taxpayer's pie too.
Politico's as well as all levels of government employees... would go down kicking and screaming if someone tried to take their taxpaid handouts/benefits away...and so would the medicare/Medicaid/social security recipients.
THE TRUTH IS....WE CAN'T AFFORD IT ANYMORE!
the problem is...no political party/entity will deal with this truth head on.
It caught up with the Greeks!
