Because she's a woman?

Sorry but i hope that's not what is of the utmost import about her.

I'm sorry but the word Democrat leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and i question the judgment of anyone seeking to run for office as a Democrat.

WHAT exactly are they thinking?

They think the Democratic party is a GOOD thing?

:eek:

Assuming you are against abortion and that's one of the problems you have, but what other aspects of the Democratic Platform do you oppose?

Abortion is bad enough, isn't it?

I could go on and on.

Rather, what on the Democratic Platform are you "for"?

Not in my opinion, no. There are a lot of things that offset for me.
I could go on and on.
And yet you won't name anything specific.

With the current platform, many of the measures that are taken to change the current level of income inequality. Reasonable measures put in place in order to counter the current tread of the richest 1% holding more wealth in the nation than the bottom 60% or so. To stop the trend of 90 some percent of new income going to the top 10% of the top 1% instead of to the rest of the nation. Our middle class is vanishing and we need to take measures to fix it.

Trump speaks to some of that, but I don't believe any of the policies he's put forth will do a thing to combat it. Rather, I think Trump's policies are going to be continuing it.

I could, you know, go on and on.

People need jobs.

Abortion IS major. Planned Parenthood needs to be dis-mantled.

So does the UN.

I don't care about abortion. Really, I just don't. Plenty of other problems.

People do need jobs. Why do you believe Trump will actually be able to deliver them by giving tax breaks to the rich and to corporations?

Yeah, Democrats should be called demoncrats. They are pretty vile. The Democratic party today stands for stupid things like MORE HEALTHCARE ACCESS FOR AMERICANS....EVEN WHEN THEY HAVEN'T EARNED IT!!!! The Democratic party today stands for things like increased minimum wage (since the purchasing power of the minimum wage has not gone up since 1965), even when we all know that people who get minimum wage jobs are losers and should be punished until they become winners!

There is virtually NOTHING the democratic party stands for that can be considered "good" in any way.

Well, I'm glad you brought it up! I didn't know that. It's kind of like how the leaders of the GOP constantly referred to Barrack HUSSEIN Obama for 8 years. Helped me focus on the weirdness of that name...kind of an evil name. Pretty....Islamic.

Thanks for alerting me to this foreigner who is trying to influence America.

We need more of the GOOD type of foreigner like Vladimir Putin to influence our political process and less of the BAD kind.

Sales people at a USA based company could well
destroy the American and Canadian agricultural industry and
President Putin, for all his many flaws, may well be more so in line
with the will of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus on at least one important
subject.

Higher and higher and higher sales commissions can blind
otherwise intelligent people to the truth about what they are promoting.

Excellent sarcasm!

You are doing an impressive job of indirectly explaining why Mr. Robert Mendelson and many other
sincere Christians who feel led into a life in politics, choose the Democratic Party over the G.O.P.

Yes, because Planned Parenthood provides vast amounts of health care support that aren't abortions to underserved minorities and those women haven't even EARNED that support!

So does the UN.

Because the UN doesn't always do what America wants and that means it is evil, too. The UN, what a STUPID idea. The world before the UN and the previous League of Nations idea was a much better place.

And, the UN supports humanitarian and health efforts worldwide which means a lot of that help is going to people WHO HAVEN'T EARNED IT!

The world needs to learn: THERE ARE NO FREE LUNCHES. (Unless you are a billionaire like Trump who gets to claim multiple bankruptcies and still keep his gold-plated palace and gold-plated jet. But then, again, he EARNED those things. They weren't given to him...well, they were kinda given to him considering he got most of his money from Daddy and his businesses underperformed the market by a significant extent).

Testify, Sister!

Rather, what on the Democratic Platform are you "for"?

I have some really stupid friends on the Left who are for healthcare reform. They seem to believe what the loony liberal folks at Forbes Magazine say when they say that Trump's plan to sell insurance across state lines WON'T work (you can read the details here: Sorry, Trump: Selling Health Insurance Across State Lines Wouldn't Lower Costs )

And some of them actually think minimum wage should have increased in purchasing power since the middle 1960's while the rest of the country's income has grown, especially the top 1%.

Some of the loons actually think that black people shouldn't be gunned down for the same crimes that get white people gently escorted to prison for.

Wacky Loons on the Left sometimes think that climate science is real and that the overwhelming evidence of human caused warming means we should NOT burn more fossil fuels.

I wish I could help explain WHY they believe these things, but I'm afraid I can't.

I don't care about abortion.

Then you are missing the real danger of the Liberal Agenda. If a liberal is allowed to load up the Supreme Court they will use Activist Judges (c) to force ALL women to get abortions and all dudes to marry other dudes, even when they don't want to!

It's something you really should care more about.

I don't like abortions, but right now no one is forced to have one, but that will all change once the Liberals take over. I know some loony lefties who think that maybe more social programs, stronger welfare system etc could lead to less demand for abortions. But they forget that these poor people who get abortions didn't earn those things and besides, they probably get a thrill from abortions.

Nice try.

Speaking of "plated" anything.

Would you care to discuss John Podesta, the former chairman of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign?

What would you personally think if President Donald Trump or some of his administration came out
in favour of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski's treatments for brain cancer?

Burzynski Movie - Cancer Is Serious Business

What would you think if some serious research physicians were encouraged to
research low cost natural potential remedies for some types of cancer.... such as
baking soda?

..."cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen)cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen, as found in an alkaline state." (Dr. Otto Warburg, written in 1924 to 1931)

My wife's father was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few years ago.

While he was still in Ecuador the family house cleaner advised him to begin to take baking soda and water as part of his improved nutritional back up to his treatment.

Now that he is in Miami his physicians are SHOCKED that his blood test are showing essentially ZERO CANCER CELLS!

My wife and I have both began to take baking soda and water on a regular basis.

The cleaner at his home was from a class of society whose family and friends could not usually afford
chemotherapy, radiation or surgery... .so they had to take low cost remedies more seriously. But it appears that she was onto a potential remedy that sure seems to work for a percentage of people suffering from some types of cancer.

Here in North America Big Pharma does a good job of crushing information about these low cost options.

Could it be that Messiah Yeshua - Jesus wants to break the chains of the metaphorical Goliath of cancer over the lives of his people, and their families and friends??????

I have no problem with that whatsoever.

I've seen lots of feedback about baking soda being effective in fighting cancer.

Something about the alkalinity factor.

I wish I could help explain WHY they believe these things, but I'm afraid I can't.

I have been advocating an alternative plan for stabilization of the climate since 2007.

Here it is in my 2008 campaign for Municipal Councillor.

www.BankingSystemsFlaws.blogspot.ca/


Carl Cantrell:

"So how is our problem of continental drying causing global warming? It all has to do with vegetation and sunlight. When sun light hits a plant, it causes a process which we call photosynthesis where the energy from the sun light creates oxygen for us to breathe, water for us to drink, and is stored as sugar for plants and animals to use. When the same sun light hits the soil, all of its energy turns into heat and is radiated back into the atmosphere.. ."

"Therefore, the less vegetation you have on the planet, the more sunlight is being turned into heat and the warmer the planet becomes...."

"Just take a look at any satellite picture of the earth showing heat and you will see that our deserts are the warmest spots on the planet by far. More heat is being generated by just one of the top four or five deserts than by all of our cities combined.... "

"The truth is that you can do more to decrease global warming by just reducing the average temperature for the Sahara Desert by one or two degrees than if we humans completely quit using fossil fuels and returned to the cave…."

"So, how would you start working to resolve this problem? Easy, cool the deserts and get some vegetation growing on them as soon as possible. But the method is much more complex than that. You have to use the prevailing trade winds in relation to the deserts to get the best results as quickly as possible and it will be extremely expensive…."

"Then we build desalination plants along the coast near these water sheds and pipe water to the tops or ridges of the water sheds…"

"We need to start working on this as soon as possible because, if the planet reaches a point to where it is warming faster than our technology can possibly stop or reverse this warming trend, then our planet is lost and all life will cease to exist on this planet within a relatively short period of time. We will need to start with the largest and hottest deserts because cooling them will have the greatest benefit in the least time (Global Warming II by biologist Carl Cantrell)."

One nation on earth has experienced COOLING in its climate since the 1950's.
That same nation, on a per capita basis also led the world in planting trees, and in
large scale desalination of ocean water for agriculture, reforestation projects as well as for
towns experiencing drought.

That nation was Israel.

Plants, especially trees, seem to have a much faster positive effect on climate than
legislation does.

A carbon tax or cap and trade system is estimated to take a very long time to actually
lower a general global warming trend.

Isaiah 35:6

"Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert."
