I agree to a point, but this money stuff with Bill tends to always drag them down and look questionable.

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.

It's terrifying how many in the GOP hierarchy are willing to placate this Jude Helm paranoia to rev up their base.

Remember when our leaders cared about the public good?

Israel run by even bigger lunatics.

I wonder why we don't have people like this anymore:

ER, especially. I think if she was around today I think she would win the presidential election.

You have to laugh. This family never ceases to shock me with their head-in-sand-itis.

I know the world is coming to the end when I 100 percent agree with Laura Ingraham.

[DRW50]

LOL!

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.

...and Jeb was supposed to be the smart one .

I just read that Rick Perry is rumored to announce his intention to run for President next month. Boy, the clown car sure is filling up quickly.

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.

I was curious so I checked some of the responses on Twitter and couldn't help but chuckle by some of the tweets.

One person tweeted that if Graham was the cure, they'd rather have the disease!

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.

[DramatistDreamer]

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

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/22/us/politics/obamas-twitter-debut-potus-attracts-hate-filled-posts.html

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