Donald Trump running for president

Eh, he's definitely not an ideal libertarian, but I can't see him being worse than Trump or Hillary.

This is on religious grounds, don't know how important that is to you, I saw the prayer request. But I don't know everything in politics, but this seems pretty true. Read all of Jesus' beatitudes in the Bible, Trump follows none. Hilary follows quite a few.

What? I'm genuinely confused here. Which does Hillary follow:

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Verse 3)
Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land. (Verse 4) Hillary definitely isn't meek
Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Verse 5) She doesn't seem to care about deaths on her watch
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. (Verse 6) Hillary seeking justice... I don't think so
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Verse 7) Nope
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. (Verse 8) Haha, good one. Also no
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Verse 9) If by peace you mean constant wars
Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Verse 10) Not even close

Ron Paul > Rand Paul > Gary Johnson. I'd happily vote for Ron or Rand though, especially in this election (or over our past two Presidents).

Rand could have been the leader of a real thriving 3rd party but he chose to sell his soul back 4 years ago when he endorsed Romney even while his father was still in the race.
 
Here's a good beatitude: "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." If you think Donald Trumps good at them...I would have to say Hillary's better.
 
I would not call Gary just as bad by a longshot. I don't agree with all his stances at all, but I certainly would prefer him in over either of the other 2. And a win for a 3rd party could finally shake the archaic thought that just 2 parties can well sum up the entire population.

Clinton is a criminal and I wouldn't trust Trump to hold true to a single promise he's made. I legitimately would not trust either one of them with my life.

Can't say Johnson is close to perfect, but at least as of right now, I feel like I could trust him (whether that's right or wrong).

Did you bother to read through the other 8 that Hillary doesn't follow, even in the slightest? The one you just quoted here isn't relevant to Hillary AT ALL. First, no one is "saying all kinds of evil" against Hillary "BECAUSE OF ME [JESUS]." People are "saying evil against her" for her immoral/illegal actions, which is a different subject entirely than what is being referenced in your quote... Your quote deals with people who condemn or persecute people for following the teachings of Jesus (like the prophets); it has nothing to do with people criticizing you for doing what is, at the best, very shady s**t, and at worst, extremely illegal. People should really analyze scripture with some level of context and critical thinking...

Neither Trump or Hillary really follow any of them...

This is the way I put it, Gary is some of that little mark in your underwear when you fart too hard. Trump is "rock bottom." Hitlery is a black hole.

Not trying to call you out or anything but rather get an understanding. Why do you call that selling you soul about supporting romney? Also why do dislike romney? I personally thought he was a great candidate.

We just have different views in politics, Romney to me is establishment big government war mongering politics. Also I barely thought there was any difference between him and Obama.

That's what I really meant by selling your soul, the establishment not specifically to Romney himself....while his father was still a candidate... that hurt. If you like Romney I mean I dunno that's up to you.

Rand says ALOT of things I love. Not as much as Ron though, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

The big question in my head is, did Rand join up to destroy it from the inside out? If that's the case then I'm fine with that. I just dunno. I wish he was an option for me to consider at this point. Personally I would have loved to see him be leader of the Libertarian party which as of right now no one is on the ballot as a Libertarian that I know of.

I can be specific about Romney but I'm in bed typing on my phone lol I'm just not fond of the Republican Party, unless you join up to destroy it.

Actually I want to destroy all parties including the "Libertarians" in politics.

Night night.

He was a better candidate than McCain was, and better than Obama for sure. But he gave it all away after the first debate. He never went on offense, same way the RNC didn't let McCain go on offense. They both played defense. After the first 4 years of Obama, and republican voters handing over control of the House with new blood to the Republicans, the last thing voters wanted was a wishy washy, always playing defense candidate. That's why Trump has the support of so many voters. They kept electing republicans to change the course of our country, and they failed to follow through once they got to Washington. Trump hasn't been playing by the RNC rules, and that's what the fed up voters have been looking for.
 
I guess the good part about Hitlery becoming president is that we will save alot of tax dollars from golf tournaments. If she cant open a brand new pickle jar bottle on Jimmy Kimmel, I doubt she can swing a golf club.

We will save about $2,000,000+ per trip. Over $200,000 an hour (remind you how many hours in 8 years of golf) in flight costs, average hole played costs about $20,000.

Obama cost us $72,881,504.68 (so much for hope and change) in vacation tax dollars so far, so maybe even with inflation considering most of the time Hitlery will be in a bed with attached IV (or electric socket if truly a droid) making most of her top level top secret "C" level foreign diplomacy meetings via Chinese owned free WeChat off her crusty Blackberry on her newly Russian operated Wikileaks proof private servers this should significantly reduce our tax waste.

Hitlery for 2016!!!!

It just fit.

I'd write in Ron Paul, or maybe Seth Rogan.

Either way, the votes probably dont matter. It's so fake.

Ron Paul is still hasnet got his total vote count from '08 yet....even from our troops.

Good old BLM. Always there to give me a good hearty chuckle.
 
Agreed about the gas. Thats the one glaring # that stood out to me as well.

I paid over $4/gallon at one point in California, now in Kansas City and I pay $2-$2.20/gal on the regular

Almost $4 in NY too back around 08. About 2.39 now. Sometimes I fill up in Jersey low taxes bring it down a bit under 2.
 
You do realize local taxes impact gas prices, right? Those numbers seem inflated to me.

I'll look into it more when I get to computer.
 
Gas is definitely off for me too. Current gas prices are at almost half of what they were 4, even 6 years ago. For me at least.
 
It's interesting that they chose inauguration dates. You do realize the second date referenced there was January of 2013, right?

1. The unemployment rate has gone up, but it is also coming down. Invalid Link Removed

2. Labor Force "Dropout" rate: This one is hard to nail down. If you go by Labor Force Participation Rate it has decreased, honestly. You have to remember that age matters with this one. In January 2008, it was 66.2%. As of August 2016, it is 62.8%. I'm honestly not knowledgeable enough on this to form a solid conclusion.

3. FY2016 "Food Stamp" (aka SNAP) recipients are down to 44,446, 280 from a high in FY 2013 of 47,636,090 Invalid Link Removed

4. Gas Prices: Currently (9/12/2016) average in the U.S. is $2.202 per gallon. West Coast is by far the highest at an average of $2.632 per gallon.

5. I guess it depends on the definition of "high unemployment". Highest unemployment rate in a state (not including territories) currently is Alaska at 6.7%.

6. The current misery index (July 2016) is 5.74.

It looks to me that the trend line goes up just as Obama took office in his first term, but by 2012 it is trending downwards and continues to do so. Seems to me that the misery index height was precipitated by economic conditions under W. Invalid Link Removed

7. Once again what is "typical"? A family of four? Currently a family of four on the "thrifty plan" is $558. Can't tell anything else about the stat, as it is vague.

8. This is currently $246,000 Invalid Link Removed

9. Currently 4.55%, as of FY2016 Q2 Invalid Link Removed

10. This is higher. As of September 2016, it was $19.5 trillion (107% of GDP). Interesting fact is that it is not the highest by portion of the U.S. economy. That was during WWII. Not sure Obama is completely to blame here, though. It has been climbing pretty steadily for a while.

Droid doubles....they are building a whole army just like the Stormtroopers but worse, they get very emotional once a month, cough and fall down all the time all over the place.

Unemployment Rate (currently 4.9) plus Inflation rate (currently 0.84)=5.74

I've actually met countless people that couldn't be any happier than being on unemployment and collecting 2-6 months in free money. Misery index is hilarious.

You are think to literally. It is not an actual measurement misery, nor was it ever supposed to be. It is an arbitrary term used on a measurement, that gives us a another way to evaluate the economy

Ok...never heard about that. Thanks.

They actually have a real happiness meter (not the exact translation) in china ....it's hilarious usually it's fairly good. Run by government of course. That's what I was thinking with the misery measurement lol.
