I wish I could be like so many other sheep out there and vote for one of the major parties’ candidates….but I just cannot bring myself to compromise my principles…..principles? Yea those things that too many Americans have forsaken to join the celebs on their way to fleecing the public.
One of the biggest culprits that is poisoning our politics is Hillary Clinton…..
FBI Director James Comey’s decision to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information has the Clintonites falling back on their tried-and-true response to all the revelations coming from WikiLeaks and other sources – it’s all a Russian plot. Except, this time, the hysteria has reached such a fever pitch, and the conspiracy theories are so unhinged, that the political discourse in this country will be poisoned for years to come.
It started with Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), who told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer:
“So the question is: Where did these [emails] come from? How did they get to the FBI? Is Russia involved in this? We don’t have a clue where this stuff is coming from.”

She is not alone. This election has done nothing to improve the average Americans grasp of politics…..the voter is the big loser in this election…..
Political satirist Lee Camp honed in on the stupidity of this election early on. His show, “Redacted Tonight,” has used the sharp irony of satire to try to challenge the flawed thinking that has dominated the political conversation. In one segment aptly titled “This Election Is an Insult to Our Intelligence,” he called on viewers to reject the narratives they are being fed and think for themselves.
Camp has been joined by a chorus of political satirists — Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Larry Wilmore, Stephen Colbert, and others — that has aimed at using smart comedy to counter stupid politics. The sad thing is that when politics is already a joke, it is really hard to joke about it.

Nothing will improve for the American people with this election…..no matter which of the clowns wins….it will be business as usual and the voter will suffer from voter remorse.
Remorse is out of date my friend.
I have survived a most ‘orrible week by drowning myself in single malt bourbon whisky.& Good Music ..I am still floating..
the stupidity on ‘man’ is quite beyond me….. :-(.
Take two golf balls and call me in the morning..>LOL
I chuckle every time I see the blame meter ping to “Russia” or “Putin”. An intelligent person will see past the blame and understand the emails exist regardless of how or why they were obtained and then leaked. I’m with you in not wishing to be a sheep without principles.
It is sounded like the crap from the 1950’s…..the great boogeymen Russia….propaganda at its best….chuq
I appreciate the Pings….chuq
Pings are much appreciated….chuq
On Canadian border today, American: “Nice country you have across the border here.”
Canadian: “Yeah. So who you votin’ for?
American: “I’m for Stupid.”
Canadian: “I know, but which one?”

Meanwhile,back at the ranch….tell me something my old friend…why do women f*k me off more than men…am I missing something?
some of them are soooo aggressive………
and unbelievably …….competitive…..
I am goin’ back to the kitchen as the heat is of lesser force…
catch up with you later…
Me do not know…..wrong gender I guess…LOL
In today’s world “Principles” might get you half a cup of week old coffee and a stale donut. I remember back in the day when my teachers all were on the “Honesty Is The Best Policy” kick too but it never seemed to apply to anybody but me and those who were destined to fail in life. Principles are nice to remember but I believe they have become absolutely extinct in actual practice.
… and a species, race, nation, without principles is also doomed to become extinct.
Maybe for you if you have given up but my principles are worth more than that to me…..I refuse to give up on them
Be happy then …
Always as long as I do not cop out like the rest of the country.
No man is an island.
Yes he is…but only in his little brain
But never in reality
Depends on what your reality is
Yes, I can see that.
