Rahm Emanuel Toying With 2016 Presidential Run, Sources Say http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/02/14/rahm-emanuel-toying-with-2016-presidential-run-sources-say.html ...

Regardless of whether or not you will vote for the office of president, there are other offices which need votes. There are issues of various types, local and state issues, that need a vote as well. In my state of Ohio, each local county PAYS for the cost in that county. Whether anybody shows up or not, the polls are still open, the poll workers still get paid. The polling machines are still rented. In short, there is a minimum cost to run the election. In my state, if there is not enough of ...

Why should I take the time and go to the effort to make informed choices and even bother to vote? If the president is going to do whatever he wants, what difference does it make which senator, congressman, or whatever, I vote for? ...

First, who would be your ideal candidate for President - this can be someone who has already announced or someone completely off the radar. Why would you vote for this person and who should he/she choose as a running mate? Second, of those who have announced (or will soon announce), who will you vote for in the primaries and why? For those who are independent voters, maybe choose a candidate from each party and tell why they might win your vote. Please no bashing each other's choic ...

but will fight till the last vote to include a public option in the final bill. ...

yesterday and stayed dry by 5 votes. Rumor has it that provisional votes will bring the vote to dry by 1. ...

I urge everyone to try to forget party for a while and actually ask yourself . . Am I better off now than I was 3-1/2 years ago? Is our country better off now than it was 3-1/2 years ago? Do I have hope for the future, for my children's future, for my grandchildren's future? Do I believe America is still the land of opportunity, peace, and prosperity? If you answered "yes" to those questions, then vote for Obama. If, however, your answer is "no," you owe it t ...

Some of you may be too young to remember the 1970s and the ERA. You also may have never heard of Sonia Johnson, a Mormon women who was excommunicated from the Mormon church in the late 1970s for supporting the ERA and equal rights for women. I had the occasion to speak with her after she wrote a book called "From Housewife to Heretic." Anyway, long story short, I have firsthand experience as a former member of the Mormon church (and a very loyal, dedicated, and hardworking one ...

From Smithsonian.com: "The answer, it turns out, has a lot to do with buggies and farmers markets. The Founding Fathers met at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, NPR explains, but at the end of the meeting they still had not resolved a number of questions about how to run an entire nation. One of those issues involved the timing of federal elections. As a quick fix, they decided to leave it to individual states to set their own voting days, which led to several decades of &ldqu ...

This is one of the best pieces I have read about Romney, and I believe it explains why a lot of people did not vote for him. ...

You tell it Mr. President! Also: No person who works full-time in this country should have to live in poverty. ...

He is the only candidate who has separated Siamese Twins! No kidding, actually heard this as someone giving this as a reason to support him. She wasn't kidding. She had a dumb-founded look on her face when it was mentioned that that doesn't come up much when a person is elected to the presidency. ...

In a show of unity, Senate Democrats sealed a 60-vote majority needed to advance health care legislation Saturday ahead of an evening showdown with Republicans eager to doom the bill and inflict a punishing defeat on President Barack Obama. Two final holdouts, Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, announced in speeches a few hours apart on the Senate floor they would vote to clear the way for what is expected to be a bruising, full-scale health care debate after Than ...

Some have problems with the spending part, but they still voted to end cloture. The final Health care bill vote is tomorrow. ...

vote for him this election. I'm not posting this to start a war here. When he was campaigning the first time, I listened very closely to what he had to say. I was almost ready to vote for him but then I realized he could NEVER accomplish those goals without putting our country further in debt. I'm posting this as a reminder that he did everything just the opposite of every statement and campaign "promise" he made concerning our country while a senator: "The fact that we are ...

The Fed's latest move ("QE3") involves printing even more counterfeit money and doing even more of the same thing while expecting a different result. And you know what that is - insanity. But Bernanke hopes it will artificially pump up the economy (although buying up mortgage-backed securities does NOTHING to create jobs or generate real economic growth). Stock traders liked it because the stock market has become a day-trading institution. They're on a sugar high, an ...

From The Atlantic yesteryday: "The political world is in a tizzy over hidden-camera footage of Mitt Romney at a fundraising event. Here's the money quote -- literally -- from the Mother Jones scoop: There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe ...

Let's say, for the sake of discussion, that we can all probably agree that treason against the United States is an act that provides "aid and comfort to the enemy". Could a vote provide aid and comfort to the enemy? Yes, it can. Just vote for the man who is very deliberately reducing the strength and influence of the United States in the world. If you care to respond, here are the rules, or they don't count: Show how a vote for Barack Obama does not qualify as an a ...

they will give you one of the following idiotic reasons they chose him: 1) Because he is a Mormon. 2) Because my parents told me .... 3) Because my husband told me .... 4) Because he shares my beliefs. No specifics because they don't know any specifics. Mormons stick together no matter what. ...

Easy choice, when put in that context. ...

took lessons from the past, sued early and often, and on Wednesday morning we knew who our new elected officials were. From Reuters: "Voting-rights advocates, along with the U.S. Department of Justice and some political party officials, tackled potential electoral problems early this election year. Judges blocked stringent voter ID laws, lifted registration restrictions and rejected limits on early voting. As a result, Election Day 2012 escaped the legal dramas of the past. While ...
