Doing your ‘civic duty’ shouldn’t mean you have to sacrifice your sanity…

Doesn’t help very much running away. The rest of the world gets the US presidentials rubbed in the face anyway (ok not very much of the ads, though).

I still have ten months to pick a candidate I know has no chance of winning. I just want to be able to say, no matter how the election turns out, “well, I didn’t vote for him!”

I’d love to see what’s going to be written in the history books about this particular time in history; and the one thing we didn’t have when we were kids that would have been very cool, was YouTube. We DID have Walter Cronkite and the 20th Century (that was some great stuff).

Who was it that said that if you love the law (and by extension, politics in general) or sausage, don’t ever watch either being made?

Why can’t we pass a law forbidding campaigning outside the voting year? If the vote is in November of 2016, then campaigning would only be allowed as of January 1, 2016.
Why not? Because the ones campaigning are making the laws.

There are Ca Republicans. They are white, from families that got to Ca before WWI, and have lots of money. They are also smart enough to bide thier time to run for office, since they don’t like to waste money. Most made money from exploiting Ca’s resourses and Latinos. They were miners, farmers, lumber barons, controllers of fisheries. They own vast tracts of Ca and will control Ca again

We watch all our TV shows pre-recorded during campaign season. It’s comical to watch their mouths flapping at 100 mph. We call it “trash compacting.”

Beleck3I ran for state board of education in 2010. The corporate media never mentioned the fact, and the Dalla Snooze even said "because the Democrats are not running, that leaves only Republican and Libertarian candidates in the race. My request for a correction was ignored.

I prefer the Cardassians

I really hope that you are right and the GOP disappears completely from CA.Texas has nothing but Teahadists in state wide office and is going to dive the state into the poor house. as everything that the feds have come up with in the last 7 years have been fought by Texas. Then Texas whines about some help after rain/flood damage, US says OK, and then the very next day, Texas files suit against the feds again
Douglas Haire almost 9 years ago
No, but the Democrats have controlled the legislature throughout those governorships.

About 3 years or so ago, you had a wonderful comic strip with Flo in the diner, and it involved Bob explaining why he considered Oprah to be the greatest living American today. The best part was the punch line where they agreed that she would truly be the greatest if she could just rid us of Donald Trump! Such a great comic strip! I have kept it on my refrigerator since! Please print it again, the time is right!

And if we don’t speak up (fight FICA and the like) we soon will have no way to avoid those commercials.
