I don't know if there will be a candidate in the 2016 Presidential election for whom I will reluctantly vote but I already know some for whom I won't vote.

In an effort to help Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton is fully supporting Hillary's efforts to change his criminal justice policies.

I read that he thought the question was phrased as:

Knowing what we knew then vice Knowing what we know now

Which makes no fuckin sense to me at all. No reporter would phrase a hypothetical question like that.

You got that right, DD. Here's another one...

If the Republicans would TRY to find someone that isn't pandering to the evangelicals or gun lobby, they might have a chance.

They should be begging Nicole Wallace to take a shot at it. If not 2016, then 2020.

Media darling Marco fumbles yet again. And as always, the Beltway, which has been pining for him for nearly a decade now, tries to get him out of it.

Countdown to him blasting Chris Wallace as part of the great lamestream media conspiracy.

LOL :-)

Rubio needs to sit his self-righteous ass down.

We have the largest military in the world. We're spending millions on the next gen F fighter jet. And he wants to spend MORE?? it sure as hell does not make the world safer. Did our military might stop the 9/11 attackers? Hell no. Is it going to stop another terrorist attack? Hell no. He's delusional.

And I had to lol when he said he wants to protect religious minorities. He meant CHRISTIAN religious minorities. He doesn't give a [!@#$%^&*] about the others.

And to the people who still insist that we are somehow living in a post racial society:

but I guess someone will claim that this is "playing the race card" whatever the heck that's supposed to mean.

    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
