I'm not going to blame people for voting with a conscious. If you don't have morals and stick to them, well, then you're no better off than the damn politicians. They vote all the time with their wallets, and look what this country is. Yeah, this might bite us in the ***, but this country is turning into a giant joke. Every Republican up there is up there for one reason: themselves. Trump may be the only one up there for the people. There is no reason for 12 people to run if they all actually stood for the same thing. But they don't. They stand for themselves. They all want to be the one to fix the country.
And all that is going to get us is socialism in the end, because none of them will win. Plus, the country is going to hell in a handbasket. Everyone wants a free handout. No one wants to work for anything anymore.
The American Dream is dead. It's all about the handouts fellas. Welcome to the new world.
Since Star Wars is the thing right now, I feel a quote from one of the prequels is fitting. I may paraphrase this a bit:
"So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause."

I really don't believe any of them would have won against Edwards in the runoff. He played his cards perfect. The other candidates did the hard part for him. All he had to do was sit back and not look too liberal. I will say we didn't have much to chose from with any of the candidates. We had $h!+ and $h!+ with sprinkles. That's what a two party system has given us.
There is a big difference between a me voting with my wallet and a politician voting with his. I expect my vote to save me money. He expects his to make him money. Every politician, regardless of party, is there for one reason: themselves. Do you honestly think those Democrats in Washington give a damn about their poor constituents? All they care about is getting their vote. And thus was born the Free $h!+ society we live in today. What was LBJ's quote on voting Democrat for the next 200 years?
I can give a damn who fixes this country, just as long as it's fixed. JBE's promise before he's even sworn in to remove the work requirement on SNAP benefits only proves that he'll drag us down even farther than what Jindal has. The right candidate was elected for those who want a handout.
The American Dram isn't dead yet, but it does have one foot in the grave and another on a bannana peel. The fact that a self proclaimed Socialist is even remotely relative in the presidential debate is a sad testament to what America has become.
I've never watched Star Wars, so I have no rebuttal. lol
