I thunk they would pair her with a more base oriented candidate like Ted Cruz or Trey Gowdy to get a bit of counterbalance.Quote:

Here we are again. You keep going back to the government to take care of you.Quote:

This whole thing reminds me of “regifting.” You’re like the non-dentist version of Tim Watley. You want to regift our label makers (tax dollars) from Elaine (the government). Just deal with Jerry (us) directly!
Furthermore, why do you trust the government to be able to facilitate the process competently when you’ve made it clear it’s “systemically racist” and corrupt.
You don’t make any sense.
See, here I am having to insult you some more because you can't understand simple concepts.Quote:

The government cannot give you anything it does not take from someone else.
As for the aid to Israel, that was a legally binding agreement made four years ago. It has nothing to do with the current situation.
Finland, yep. Also tried in California and Ontario. Every time it's been cancelled early because it was too expensive.Quote:

I can almost guarantee that every right-leaning guy on this forum is married to or will be married to a strong, independent woman.Quote:

It is a fact that wealth in this country is becoming more and more centralized by the day. 90% of household wealth goes to the top 20% of the country. Do me a favor and discover what that number was 50 years ago. To me, it's a no-brainer.Quote:

A simple 3 second DuckDuckGo search could’ve told you that.
I don’t know about other areas, but in Central Pa it has been staggering. Many, MANY entry level jobs starting at $13/hr. Amazon, Chewy(dog food plant), heck even our Gas Stations(Sheetz ) start their employees around $11-13. Anything under $10/hr around here means “light relatively fun work for HS students only”Quote:

She was a successful governor and she was successful as the UN Ambassador.
If she runs in 2024, which I would expect she is strongly considering it, I literally do not see anyone in either party that stands a chance against her. I really don't.
If you said strong independent pain in the ass who doesn't know her role woman, that would have been more accurate.Quote:
