OH you think having a wife and kids means you are not gay? Oh that's precious.

I do not. I said it half jokingly but I do have a hunch that he is gay.

I have the same hunch about Cruz.

Quote:Hillary Clinton to Campaign with Elizabeth Warren in Ohio
Hillary Clinton will return to Ohio on Monday, June 27, to campaign with U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren. At a public event in Cincinnati, Clinton and Warren will discuss their shared commitment to building an America that is stronger together and an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top.
Additional details about this event will be released soon.

The old establishment candidate needs a young rising star to offer a youthful balance to her old 'establishment' image...plus, a First Lady from AR...and the young Texas mayor could play well in the south.

I think most people consider Clinton a NYer now.

Too young and inexperienced. I don't think he's ready for prime-time. Kaine is the safe choice.

Julian Castro:

- San Antonio City Council
- San Antonio Mayor
- Secretary of Housing and Urban Development

he's young, smart, and has been fully vetted.

he's perfect for VP.

He has more experience that Hitlery. Put him on the Presidential ticket instead

The GOP knows they're losing, and they're ultimately just delaying the inevitable, but in the meantime they're mastering the art of voter disenfranchisement because they know they're outnumbered.

A college ID clearly doesn't show residency. You can argue if an NRA card does, but are you willing to actually call college students "residents" for voting purposes of the municipality where their school is located? Come on. Again, try to be less hyperbolic. All this does is illustrate you don't really want to converse. You want to poke, troll and rant.

Actually (at least here in NC) college students are considered residents. That was established by the courts many years ago though GOP operatives have tried to disenfranchise them often since then. My daughter missed the special primary a few weeks ago because she wasn't in Greenville. Of course she resides there 9/12ths of the time so it is still the logical place for her registration.

I'm fine with them being residents anywhere, but just one place. Not home and school, with respect to voting.

Your daughter could have voted absentee, correct?

Except you're wrong and the point of an ID card isn't to show residency, whether it's college or NRA. They've already registered in Texas. The point of showing your ID card is just to ******* identify the person standing before you. You want to talk motive? You really ******* believe NRA cards are accepted over college IDs for any reason other than the fact it helps those same Republican politicians win reelection? Because if you do I've got some great swampland for sale.

Actually, with day of voting registration, a college ID could be used to attempt to demonstrate residency.

I guess what you are saying is that people who are likely not eligible to vote but do vote skew Democratic.

Texas doesn't have day of voting registration. Have to register 30 days before the election.

What I'm saying is the Republican median voter is 70 years old, retired, wealthy and will do whatever it takes to register and vote for the local dog catcher primary, because they have nothing else to do but ***** about the less fortunate. The median Democratic voter is working multiple jobs, has less than reliable transportation, is taking care of a family and may not get time off work to vote on election day, especially in cases where polling places are understaffed and lines are an hour-plus long (usually thanks to Republicans like Rick Scott). Republicans want to make it even harder for people to vote for one very obvious reason: because they're unpopular and instead of changing their stances to appeal to more people and adapt to the 21st century, they become more recalcitrant and try to maximize their pluralities in small rural areas. **** 'em.

Nobody ******* said that. But your insistence on calling them Islamic terrorism is dumb and counter productive because to defeat them we need the help of 3 million American Muslims, not to mention the other Muslim nations, so we shouldn't bash their entire religion and offend them any more than is necessary. Did anyone call the KKK Radical Christianists? They burned crosses in case you forgot.

Not to mention the reason right wingers do that in the first place is two fold: promote an ideological religious war and lay the ground for another patented GOP dumb ass shooting war in the Middle East.
