    Well, those of us who actually pay taxes are paying for it. The Democratic Party is entirely dependent on OPM.

    Thats the kind of government that those of us who care about people, aka liberals/progressives, want.
    If you truly cared about people, you'd be in favor of programs that actually work to help them, not keep them enslaved. What you REALLY want is to keep people on the plantation, beholden to your party for their very existence. All you care about is their votes to keep your party in power.

    Its also the kind of government that one would think you so called Christians would want, but somehow you guys don't seem to like that idea.
    Ah, the "so called Christians" idiocy. Jimmy, I bet you your next welfare check that I have spent FAR MORE of my own money helping people this past year than you've spent in your entire life.

    Now, if you actually have anything to say about PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, you can stay --- otherwise, you're derailing this thread with your liberal drivel.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Yeah, which includes most of us, and you have a problem with that.

      Thats just stupidity CP, and i'm sure you know that.

      Thats just the excuse you republicans use to make yourselves feel better.

      See above.

      Then you should want a government that helps people as well. But you don't so its hard to take you seriously.
      Now, if you actually have anything to say about PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, you can stay --- otherwise, you're derailing this thread with your liberal drivel.
      I'm only responding to your conservative drivel CP, so perhaps you should leave your own thread.

        You've had your say, Jim. Now, if you can't focus on the topic, I'll be asking you to leave.

        Thanks

          Fine, if you want to focus on the topic, then focus on the topic and I'll respond in kind. But if you are going to go off topic, then its disingenuous of you to demand of others to stay on it.

            This is a rather partisan rant, but it makes an interesting point: Trump seems to do better in multi-person debates than in a one-on-one setting. So it might make sense for him to push for the inclusion of Johnson and Stein (who may well be more likely to take votes away from Clinton in any case): http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/...-happen-at-all

            I don't buy the blogger's prediction that Trump will try to avoid the debates altogether.
            "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

                  Considering these two candidates I think mud wrestling contest would be more fun and instructive to watch. I'll just wait for the digest version to come out.

                  My prediction: Trump will be an ogre and ignore the moderators, speak out of turn and be overall insulting, going off the rails constantly. Hillary will be rolling her eyes a lot.

                    It will be interesting to see if Trump can remain focused enough to hit her on her vulnerabilities.

                      It's a fact. Just look at Obamacare subsidies:



                      Taxes and fees. OPM.

                        Perhaps Jimmy doesn't understand that OPM is "Other People's Money" = Taxes and fees.

                              Cause it's all about FREE STUFF - that's what JimL wants. Democrats are much better at promising FREE STUFF.
