Wow, Drudge poll says Trump is the best. (Vote early and vote often) :lol: :lol: :lol: How come all of the scientific polls say Hillary won the debate. How come Paul Ryan just said he is not going to support Trump and is going to concentrate on the down-ballot races to try and preserve the GOP majority in Congress. How come Hillary's lead is now in the double digits and climbing.
I am a life-time Republican and I am appalled by what is happening to my party. Breitbart, Rush and others have taken control of the GOP and our elected Reps have to jump to their tune. Millions hang onto their every word like it is Manna from Heaven. The voters have abandoned their responsibility and are supporting the ones who speak the harshest and say that they will right all wrongs.
We are 27th in education in the world and now I know why. It's easier to control the uneducated. We live in the information age. With the Internet there is more information available than ever before. Each elected official has a website with information on his positions and votes. All voting records are available on line. I wonder how many know that the problems in Syria are partly caused by climate change, (5 year drought.) I wonder how many can even name their Congressman or Senator. What Congressional district are you in? I wonder how many know what the party's platform says.
Too often, and I am as guilty as anyone, voting is done on emotions. Emotions should play a minor part in your decision. Facts should be the decider not emotions. These days Politicians lie, cherry pick the facts and omit relevant facts to make their case. It is up to us to sort out the truth as the politicians and the media have their own agenda. We should all vote like this could be the most important decision of our life, because it could be.
I am aas conflicted as anyone. At this point I have no idea what I am going to do. I cannot support Hillary (I don't trust her0 and Trump is the most unqualified candidate ever to run for any office (He is making a profit off of his run for the Presidency...Check it out.) I read the platform for the Libertarian Party and I can’t support them. Jill Stein hasn't a snowball’s chance in hell of winning.
