The Presidential Vote

[RAIDER]

It won't be long and we will be going to the polls to vote.  How will you vote?

 

[Smellin Coffee]

I can't vote for either major candidate. I just can't ethically do it.

You can disagree all day with Smellin but name one unethical things he has done.

I don't support candidates who are known to manipulate and purposely endanger the lives of others for their own political gain. I don't care what platform they run.

In a sincere attempt at being ethical, specifically toward those who are different than I am, is why I cannot vote Republican.

Republicans create jobs, Democrats oppress those that create jobs and those that sweat bleed and crawl up the corporate latter.

I see. You prefer someone who doesn't manipulate and endanger lives for political gain. Whatever that might mean.

So, you cannot support any politician for any office.

Republicans allow employees to be exploited and used without proper safety protection while Democrats protect those that are the backbone of the economy.

Neither statement is really true but both have truth in them and is why neither party has all the answers.

Every time a democrat is in office on the federal level or local I have less and less money in my pocket.

Every time a republican is in office on the federal level or local level I seem to keep more of the money I work for.

Example:
Obamacare.

Before Obamacare I paid $450 a month with a $2,200 deductible. Enter Obamacare, first year it went up to $1,160 a month with a $5,600 deductible. Second year which is this year I pay $1,060 a month with a $10,000 deductible.

Tell me again how a democrat has helped the working families of America again??????????

Well, there's a least one poster in this thread that wants you to pay more.

This is a matter of personal opinion. Facts show both parties create jobs and both parties lose jobs. I've lost more jobs under Republican administrations than Democratic and the jobs I got afterward ALWAYS paid less than what I was making at the job for which I got laid off.

Obamacare hurt many people but helped many others. There are plenty of kinks to get worked out. People who could not get insurance at all due to medical history now are able to get coverage. Annual physicals, mammograms and child well-care visits are now free. These are important! It was a well-visit to the doctor (before Obamacare) where I discovered I had cancer.

Under some personal umbrellas, things got worse. For others, it got much better. There is much work to be done to get it fixed. This included "free market competition" which your provider, not the plan itself, raised your rates in year 2. So there is tweaking and even a couple of overhauls that might need to be done to help balance this out. This takes time and both parties working together to fix it, rather than both parties fighting each other over its existence.

You say it's not perfect and needs work as if I stumped my toe. Smh

But for the man with Muscular Dystrophy or the lady who had breast cancer in her early 20s , both of whom were previously unable to purchase health insurance, things look better for them.

Blinders must be removed to see the overall picture, not simply how it affects only my situation (which happens to be a Republican method of determination). A long ways to go on it for sure, but it is a first step in the right direction.

I just want to know: what is a corporate latter?

Maybe it's mean, or perhaps it is actually discernment:  but if someone doesn't know how to spell or doesn't seem to comprehend the difference between one word and another -- doesn't get the nuance implied-- (ladder, as in 'to climb' is just not at all the same as latter meaning 'closer to the end than the beginning'), well, then I tend to dismiss that person's opinion.

Smellin' thinks with his brain and his heart, both of which seem to function well.

No, Smellin believes in symbolism over actual substance, emotion over facts and shared poverty lest someone have something everyone else can't share. In other words, he is a liberal. Liberalism is personified if failed government experiments throughout history...the latest being Obamas economy and Venezuela's collapse.

You and Smellin are entitled to your own opinions and feelings, but not your own facts.
