opened minded folks in the middle will decide this election. the far right and the far left will vote their side no matter what

Am I open minded about more entitlements...no.

Am I open minded about higher taxes...no.

Am I open minded about increasing the size of gov...no.

Does that make me far right?

Open minded folks in the middle = moderates = not well informed enough about the candidates that I can't be swayed by news snippets and smooth talking...won't be bothered to do my own research.

Thats very sad that you consider his views to be extreme.  So you honestly believe that wanting to limit the size of government, the extent of taxation and entitlements is far right?

When you believe that Socialism is "open-minded" and fair and that Capitalism allows White people to suppress minorities then yes.

congress fails because it operates like a bird. with a bird it takes the right wing and the left wing operating properly to lift the middle. 

Although cute, I don't agree with this analogy at all. The middle does not need government interference. Congress fails when both sides agree that they need to stick their noses into places it doesn't belong.

The approval rating of congress proves that they are failing miserably

So why do they keep getting re-elected?

When you look at the approval rating for individual congress members amongst their constituents, many have high approval ratings, higher than Obama. The approval rating for the group is low. And if you use approval ratings as a gauge for action, shouldn't Obamacare be repealed immediately?

The middle makes America great, the middle is not controlled by hate

Remind me again about the arguments of BLM. Aren't they railing against their assumption that certain people are committing crimes that go unpunished?

And how is wanting a person to pay for her criminal activity considered hate. Do you understand the definition of hate, or do you just throw around terms because you think they sound good. I'm guessing you will throw out the race card next even though Hillary is white.

I didn't defend the left or right. I bragged on the middle. Its great that we have open minded people in the world. The far left and far right sucks.

The middle wants to see trumps taxes

I don't...why do you want to see them?

I don't want to see Clinton's taxes either...if there was something illegal done, I would expect the IRS to be on it.

What the Trump haters want to see is if Trump has somehow managed to pay little in taxes (doesn't matter if it's legal) so they can scream foul.

It won't change their lives one bit, but they want to see the evil rich man pay his fair share.

If he has legally managed to pay little in taxes, I say more power to him for keeping it out of the wasteful hands of the fed gov.

If obama would have pulled this tax stunt you guys would have been all over it. Trump wanted to see the birth certificate himself. What a hypocrite

    • Sorry sir on my miss count. I was in hurry
    • Are they offering refuge to criminals? Or is it a Trump talking point? Refugees are people who leave their country due to unwarranted prosecution. I actually take care of 2 refugee kids who have complex medical needs   No, refugees are not criminals, and the assumption that they are more likely to be criminals than the general population is incorrect:                                                                                          Research shows immigrants commit crimes at lower rates Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, including unauthorized immigrants. This is true across immigrant groups.                  Immigration doesn't raise crime rates Immigrants don't raise crime rates in the communities where they settle. In fact, some studies suggest that immigration can lower crime rates, especially violent crime.                  Anti-immigration politicians have spread a myth Anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but research shows this is a myth.                  Refugees don't cause crime in Turkey A study found that refugees don't have a causal effect on crime rates in Turkey. In fact, the study found that refugees may have a negative effect on crime rates per capita. 
    • I think it's actually the first time ever to get past the second round. Some older folks might try to tell you about Scott High but I wasn't here when that school was around 😆
    • Smith is 78-31 overall and 18-8 in the playoffs. His first three years he went 23-15 overall and 6-3 in playoffs. His Silsbee teams are averaging making 3rd round every year in his 9 years as head coach.
    • Wishing everyone a great Thanksgiving!
