    In Massachusetts a vote for anyone other than the Democrat is wasting your vote but I always vote.

          Everyone gets one vote, to do with what they want. No one should ever get upset about how someone else votes. It' s none of their damn business.

              Can anyone explain why the Kahn Family is not angry at Islamic Terrorists who killed their son? But they are angry at Donald Trump for wanting to keep Islamic Terrorists out of the United States?

                  I have decided not to unfriend Mr Market for his non-support of my preferred candidate, but I might stop feeding my neighbors cat for a day or two.

                    riddle me this

                    can anyone explain why they would rather have Trump for president than Gary Johnson? (Or prefer Hillary Clinton to GJ for that matter)

                      I feel I could learn a lot about fashion from the Trump women.

                        Well, I don’t like candidates who are good for business and bad for everyone else.
                        • His tax plans favor the rich.
                        • His ideas on education and healthcare are irresponsible. Those are sectors that are too important to leave to ‘laboratories of innovation’, with predictably (and aimed for) uneven outcomes, while people are stuck to what is locally available. Business exist to make a profit first. Quality is not the only way to make money, witness the rubbish in circulation. Predictably, predictable sets of citizens will find themselves enjoying rubbish education and healthcare.
                        • His idea of allowing assault weapons to deter law enforcement (example: DEA), is, ahem, interesting.
                        • And we might even wonder if he is really good for business. Taking an axe to federal expenses is no guarantee for economical growth.


                        Or, to put this all more succinctly: if government is bad, even when democratically controlled, why would corporate America, insisting on no control whatsoever, be better? They are not in it for the common weal, are they?

                        (Edited for clarity. OK, it still does look a bit like a rant, doesn’t it?)

                          For people who missed what the Khan’s problem with Trump is (not surprising with all the hullabaloo surrounding this election), here is a link to what mr. Khan said: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7161616.html
                          In short: they protest against the blanket or overly broad measures against muslims that Trump proposes in order to keep muslim terrorists out, which measures they consider discriminatory, hence the reference to the constitution.

                            I wonder what measures they would propose to keep Islamic terrorists out - I would bet they have no idea - just a bunch of blowhards in my opinion.

                                Sometimes when I feed the deer people say it's bad for them.
