I plan on voting for John Kasich... if he can hold on until the ohio primary... (march 15th)
I'm not betting any money that folds he can hold out until then.

All the candidates are doing is pandering to the masses at the moment Isn't that the only thing all of them always do? Actually, most candidates (those worth listening to) actually have plans and budgets along with their campaigns. While some would strictly pander to the masses, most would show what is best for the country (in their viewpoint).
There hasn't been one plan issued from the liberal/democrat side that isn't a straight pandering-to-the-masses viewpoint.

just because she has a "D" next to her name. I am sorry, I'm really trying to understand but all I can think of is the D in the names from the legendary people in One Piece.
Is she going to be the pirate queen?

Liberal outrage of the day. The same crowd that insists an evangelical Christian should never be president because "we're not a theocracy" insists Ben Carson is a bigot for suggesting sharia law isn't compatible with American values.

You clearly don't understand how many sheep there are compared to people who actually pay attention to politics. Seeing how you don't understand that, you won't understand this statement. Feel free to pick at it.

Feel free to pick at it. No, I completely understand your statement. However, what you just said did not counter mine because I just stated that people voted for Obama because he was black.....

Then it IS a strong statement to make when the majority voted because of that reason.

And how is this different from people pulling the lever for an individual because they have an R next to their name? Nothing new here. Partisans gonna partisan. However, Clinton's poll numbers have been tanking which means she's currently hurting as someone who was thought to be a shoo in.
Quote: Again, people blindly supporting Obama mainly because:

Why? Because it's true? Obama pulled down votes because he was black. Big deal? You don't pull down two wins without getting a majority of a white country to back you. Which he did.
You think if Bernie Sanders made it to the general people wouldn't pull the lever for the first Jewish president solely because he was Jewish? lol.
Quote: So I'm not sure what you're on about since Hillary has been sliding and the establishment has been forced to tap Sanders as a potential replacement precisely because she can't seem to shake the inauthentic aura that comes with existing in the DC political sphere for too long.
Sanders is most definitely not a a candidate beloved of the political establishment and not the ideal candidate Democrats want to run which is precisely why he's made waves since starting his bid for POTUS. He's definitely not a replacement for Clinton should her campaign burn up in the atmosphere.
Neither party has an agreed upon viable candidate yet.

#berniebots it looks like Biden is the end of your liberal white popularity train. Just as predicted he's siphoning off the anti-Hillary vote.
Looks like we will see a Hillary vs Donald Trump debate. Get ready for email and benghazi rebuttals!!!
Poll: Clinton picking up steam against Sanders

I was raised Catholic. I can tell you all about religious nuts.
And yeah, no one is ever prejudice. Clearly you love immigrants and everything.
And again I have to remind you the conversation is about illegal immigrants. You know, those who break the law.
Nice straw man tho.

Oh no. I find certain mid-western evangelist doctrines way more crazier than even the most conservative Catholics.
Catholicism was founded on the idea that most Christians were illiterate and required the priest to translate/interpret to them the bible it's so "do whatever the priest says." So i mean it goes hand and hand.

It is amusing he holds this view, though.
There was a time in this country where we were worried about a Catholic president putting his religion first and being beheld to the Pope.
JFK got elected anyhow.
Carson mocked the idea of being sworn in on a Quran. But the idea of being sworn in on a Bible is no more or less worthy of ridicule or skepticism, yet he does think being sworn in on a Bible is appropriate.
It's hypocrisy. I don't think he's malicious about it. It's just him stating the truth as he sees it.
But his views are awfully ironic coming from a black man talking about a book that was used to justify the enslavement of his ancestors.
Honestly though, he's just pandering in the same way most of the GOP candidates are pandering, trying to whip up the crazies for the primary.

Looks like nausi has been whooshed again. The same group who wants to label the south as bigots because of the love of a flag, all of a sudden has a problem with some other group concluding the Sharia law isn't compatible with the constitution.

Just like it's unfair for me to stereotype Catholic preists of that "hottest vatican priests calender" lol

Doesn't only happen to children eh.
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
