The DNC is/are running the democrat debates around the impoverished neighborhoods of the world, in order to recruit more radical jihadists, er,  liberals, to come and support Hillary, and all she can give you, for free.

Ya know Chief, I WANT to believe people really, in all honesty, care, about one another, as in my brothers keeper.
I am slowly coming to the realization it won't happen.

I believe Obama is guilty of theses same emotions too, when dealing with the ME issues.
I think he honestly thought  dialogue and appeasement would change things.
I see even if I am right, and he did want try a different approach, the results are the same, except being the battlefield is more vast, and many lives not in uniform are spilling their blood.

Odd that he doesn't use this approach in dealing with the republicans and others against his agenda, as he has no qualms about leveling accusations and blame against them, deserved or not.

I will vote for anybody but the democrat candidate, as it is slowly dawning on me they have no desire to lead and assure the very principals that has made this country what it was/is.
They have become devoid of empowering people to be self sufficient and independent, but have created a society that expects them to provide for them, which, empowers them even more.....  
A pimp and a whor-e.

My parents were long time democrats as well and changed at some point.  Even as an uninformed youth I saw through the smoke and mirrors at a very young age.  

Best regards,

Yep....as a boomer, this is exactly my story too.
My parents were democrats, even had some polticians in the family in Oklahoma and Orgeon.
I am not sure where they ended up, they are no longer alive.
Of the 5 kids, me the youngest, I am prolly the last one to vote for a democrat. I didn't even vote for Reagan, who left the party, or as he said, it left him too.

It will be sorta poetic justice to see Hillary succumb to the very anger they tried to use (useful fools) , via media and academia, as people are just plain fed up with the BS.

It has awoken a sleeping giant  

The most accurate example of  an "Oxymoron" is "honest politician" No matter which political party.    In fact, both parties are controlled by professional party bosses, lobbyist and "party fund raisers/ contributors".     Please note as I keep telling you..  We have the very best government that money can buy. All three branches of it......  

"Government salaries" aren't the issue.
It's the financial 'extras' received from others, and for what purpose, is the issue.
Power and influence do strange things to the most upright of people.

I was talking about politicians in general, not your family members.

Laws can be by-passed, that's where the 'money/power/influence' comes in.

I don't see UK or USA ethics laws being much different.

Hovis -
You talk in generalities.  Give me specific examples.  There are always a few bad apples in any barrel, but by and large, politicians are no less honest and hard working than any other occupation.  And that applies to both parties.
