Well, I didn't vote for Hillary; my smugness and self-satisfaction are entirely innate.

Why don't you have an answer to that question? Given that you don't, why do you ask it of others?

Meh, as a matter of principle, it's fine imo to vote third party in a solid red or solid blue state (say the winning party was +25 or more in the previous election).

What about lowering the corporate tax rate? That is real money to business owners, large & small.

It's amazing how after only half a year trump is like gwb already. You can find guys who will defend him and his policies, but they absolutely didn't vote for him, nope, not at all. They will spend all day online criticizing Kerry and Hillary, but they definitely didn't vote for Bush or trump.

Just own it.

I bet Jules doesn't think cheaper is always better when it comes to getting good bud.

Remember when people say "lower taxes" what they're really talking about is Paul Ryan-style extreme Mad Hatter-flavored capitalism. The real death panels.

And if your answer is "I voted for Gary Johnson" please tell me the significant differences between Paul Ryan and Gary Johnson. Because there really aren't any.

The tax reorganization in Kansas led to lots of workers categorizing themselves as contractors and paying no taxes, thus leading to the stay being broke at breakneck speeds.

Lawrence O’Donnell’s Future At MSNBC Is Unclear

Looks like he might have only 4 weeks left. The article hints at Trump involvement. Is it?

Lew, maybe you should do basic research on your team? Maybe you should know 10% as much about GOP policies nationwide as you do about the patriots offensive line?

The right wears ignorance as a badge of honour. The less informed you are the more you are respected.

I realized GOP policies were horrendous after being only 10% informed. Sample size, I know, but their sample is so ****-heavy it was still obvious.

msnbc's liberals have been winning in TV ratings so of course they let them go and hire a bunch of ex fox news people.

Trump's agenda is slightly conservative and nearly all the rest for Trump. It's KILLING us all. Just wish these other mopes would realize it and jump ship soon.

If Trump kills O'Donnell and Maddow, I'll lose it.

Lol at orange having any authority over the lineup at MSNBC. Only reason to dump them is if he resigned in trade

Andy Lack is a total hack and apparently doesn't like Lawrence.

the NBC cable networks haven't always been known for smart decisions in general though, CNBC canceled Grodin's talk show back in the 90s when it was their highest rated show, highest rated show in the history of the network at the time in fact

The Patriots offensive line is way, way more interesting than politics. And we're all on the same team. We are all Patriots...

It accomplishes not having Trump in office. Jfc

Lew, you are undoubtedly not on the same team as 95% of the posters in this forum. You do not have the same goals nor values.
Thanks for admitting your ignorance at least.
