Guest from Sanity, why do you stick around here when you so clearly despise everyone and what they represent? It's the attention, isn't it? The negative response thrills you when you turn the subject to yourself, when you abuse others, calling them names and are as nasty as you want to be. The behavior of long-gone MartinGibson comes to mind. He was finally convinced to leave, and you, too, should consider finding a more fruitful occupation than spewing nastiness here at Mudcat all day long.

You're a bad influence on a lot of otherwise reasonable people as you push hot buttons and fill threads with your verbose stench. Your stalking behavior of my old friend Don Firth was unconscionable, and I'm sure that if it was possible to block you, you'd already be gone. Since you never post as a logged-on member, it isn't possible to send these remarks privately. Maybe others who read them will decide to simply not respond to any more of your remarks and let threads stay on topic and out of the red zone.

Just a thought.

My participation does not include participating in either political party...nor their hogwash, to cover their participation, with 'special interests' over the will of the people who blindly participate in electing, thieves, liars, con men, and supporting traitors, by believing what the party tells the people that they stand should for......when the party is part and parcel, of the particular con being foisted upon the particular participants of their party.

That's my part!!

...as for 'annoying people'..I'm sure I do....it's probably hard to keep the con going, when some annoying person keeps trying to clue people into the truth about the con that they believe in, to the point of watching them 'console' each other, and encourage each other into stupidity, by having them ignore the OBVIOUS!

...besides, as I've posted numerous times..."I'm not with the party...I'm with the band!"


...and as a side note, Akenaton is correct when he calls out those pretending to be 'far left'...but voting for Hillary, and not Sanders.
At least Sanders has a record of believing in what he says, while Hillary can't even remember what office she's holding for what country...or corporation..or foundation...or was that country..no, no no..it was 'special interest'...for the 'foundation'...for "WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE, ANYWAY"--Hillary Clinton on being asked about the deaths, of the U.S. ambassador and three others who died in Benghazi....and then goes on to lie about a video, as to the cause, just to hide her neglect.....not fit to be a ditch digger, let alone a President!....."I sent nothing or received anything 'marked classified'"...Do you mean to tell me that as Sec. of State, she couldn't TELL??????..when the E-mails were naming operatives on the ground????.....Give me a break!!!

A quick addendum: Of all the candidates, Trump and Sanders are the only ones left who represent the two real polarization..one a capitalist, one a socialist. Cruz and Hillary are both funded by a large degree by Goldman Sachs, and Wall Street. Now WHO do you think either of them are going to represent??? The people?.. OR their financiers??

Look, the fix is already in...we've been bought and paid for already...or to put it bluntly, the overthrow has already happened! Now, it's just a matter of them making it as 'soothing' a realization as plausible.

People are already angry...but some of them can't figure out, that belonging to a puppet party, had anything to do with it...and that goes for BOTH parties!!

You hear the word 'establishment' used for both parties...here, give yourself another clue...'establishment' is just another word for ALL those who owe ALL their allegiance to the globalist bankers/corporations/Wall Street controllers...regardless of party. The 'bankers/corporations/Wall Street controllers' make contributions to BOTH sides...and both sides like their shoes, because it PAYS to be a 'career politician'.

That being said, MOST the 'outsiders' have dropped out(on the 'Republican' side). The 'establishment'(see above) is supporting Hillary. Trump and Sanders have only risen in popularity because they are so radically removed from the perceived 'business as usual', and the populace will frantically grasp for anything they see as a 'life preserver'...while the Titanic breaks apart, and sinks!

I guess you could liken the two 'bought and paid for parties' as an iceberg!..OK??

Annoying????.....Sorry you feel that way, while being clued into being betrayed....'and the beat goes on'!

We've seen how he operates up close in this part of the world since he took over Greg Norman's Golf Club at Doonbeg and continued the battle to privatise the local beach and sand-dunes for the exclusive use of his wealthy customers - his world view writ small.

I can only assume that they think Mrs Clinton is more likely to be elected by the US people than Mr Sanders, so it becomes about keeping the Republicans out of office?

If that is the case the US is doomed to the Status Quo for ever, economic and meaningful social change can never be achieved, you will live in a dreary political limbo, destined to repeat the same mistakes, as "Good Cop" and "Bad Cop" take their turns in the seat of power.

Hey, Acme, not everybody is so 'compelled' to love Hillary the way you do! From EVERY exit poll, in Democrat primaries, OVER 75%..(and upwards of 86%) of those polled, thought that Hillary had issues with telling the truth, and/or being 'trustworthy'.
Now if someone points that out to you, it doesn't mean they are a 'Hillary Hater'. Matter of fact, I pointed out that Trump has problems with the same thing, at the Republican polls. So do I 'hate' Trump??..No, I just prefer that a candidate who is soliciting my vote, and those of the citizens, to have AT LEAST some sort of record of integrity or honesty....How do you know that the candidate that you support is because you allegedly BELIEVE what they say???.....Does what they say matter, if they are known liars???

So, get off your trip about people who don't believe in your favorite liar, is because they like Trump, or hate Hillary, or belong to one party or the other, or they don't want to elect a woman, or whatever other talking point bullshit, you want to regurgitate and feed other people. People are fed up with 'business as usual'(read: corruption) in Washington....after all, we have the best politicians money can buy!...and both Hillary and Trump, both fit that description, from one side or the other!!!

The present voting system vis a vis "super delegates" does not appear to be in any way democratic?

Once again, "super delegates" are a feature of the Democratic Party only. The Republican Party doesn't have them. The Libertarian Party doesn't have them. The Green Party doesn't have them. Political parties don't have to be 100% democratic, only as democratic as their membership chooses to be. They are private organizations, not government entities. They can adopt whatever rules they want. If the Democrats want to choose their nominee by holding a séance in the middle of the Mojave Desert, they can do so.

Having said that, super delegates are really a bit of a red herring anyway. Once a candidate accrues a majority of regular pledged delegates, almost all the super delegates who may have been supporting another candidate change their support. It happened in 2008. As soon as Obama won a majority of pledged delegates, all the Clinton super delegates changed their votes.

olddude: "Can we go back to politics, everyone is entitled to their opinions. One person, one vote."

If they go to a brokered convention, either party or both, THEY will select who we should 'vote for'....which means no votes even mattered..just whom they APPOINT to run.

I suspect, as I said earlier, that depending on the primaries, will determine if Obama's Justice department will go for an indictment for Hillary...then they might give you Biden to vote for....then after that happens, and she can't run, he might even 'pardon' her.

As for the Republicans, that will go to a brokered convention if they can keep dividing the votes, among the primary candidates, so the minimum votes won't be reached for a walk-a-way count at the convention.

ALL this is going on, because the electorate is pissed off. First we got Obama, then the Republicans vowed to turn things around, if they got the Senate and the House of Representatives...they got both, but nothing was done...............SOOOOOO....that gave rise to Sanders, Trump, Fiorina, Carson...and even Cruz, to some extent.....(in case you ever wanted to know what the ELECTORATE thinks of the current administration). ....ALL of this is a backlash to Obama's unfavorability!!

"Jim, I disagreed strongly with almost all of Mrs Thatcher's policies, but as a leader and Conservative politician she was without parallel."
Not a question of her 'policies' - she was a self-declared fascist - it doesn't get much simpler than that.
Hitler was reckoned to be a 'good leader' - he was certainly idolised by a lorra-lorra people - it's where he led/she led them is what counts, not that they were good at it.
We know very little about Trump's 'policies' - his election campaign is based on hate-filled rhetoric and the hostile response to it is well-deserved and a relief.
I have little time for U.S. politics, but the thing I admire about the country is its cosmopolitan makeup- consisting of people who originated form all corners of the world - settlers, immigrants and refugees from persecution all coming together to make the richest and most powerful nation on the planet.
Trump has risen to prominence by preaching hatred of such people - basically, basically an attack on the people who went into the making of America.
You talk about genetic reliability - Trump's background shows him to come from merely one of the many hundreds of different nations that make up the country he is trying to take over.
Let's hope for many, many thousands more people out on the streets putting a stop to this looming disaster - neither the politicians or big-business can be trusted to.
