She knew this was not going to be a nomination battle she wanted. She was right to stay out of it -- the smearing of liberal economics that would have gone on would have set us back decades.
2020 will be an honest nomination battle and she can either get into it or, better, ordain a successor and support her.

So was 2004. And 1988. Honest or not is irrelevant.

"Ownership" is all a construct anyway. Most people are still knee-deep in their mortgages, so whatever bank they got the loan from are the actual owners of the property.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to use a Section 8 certificate? Of course you don't, Mr. Libertarian fraud.

For the children is used to win an argument when you can't win by any other means.

Oh I know, but it's still ironic as hell to see you say that given that your entire voting history is seemingly based on "think of the children" in the context of abortion.

I disagree. Please hear me out.
"Think of the children!" is inane and grating because it is about protecting their pure souls and minds from the terrors of real life: "you can't show boobs on TV -- THINK OF THE CHILDREN!"
joe has been trained to believe that we're actually killing the children. In my opinion, his belief does not fall under that rubric. It falls under "everybody except me is a killer because I was taught some guff a few con men in the early part of the 20th century slapped together to get people like me riled up so they could vacuum my wallet and, hey, a hundred years later it's still going strong so P.T. Barnum was right!"

I was raised and still am a Roman Catholic (big C as opposed to small c) who is faithful to the Magesterium. It is an inconvenient truth that the Catholic faith holds abortion and euthanasia to be anathema. I subscribe to that truth.
The West is headed down a path where the value of a human life is decreasing in value every day. I don't want to get on that slide.
I am opposed to drone warfare. It sanitizes war. War needs to be messy so that we don't grow fond of it. Gulf I was, in some respects, too easy. Gulf II was a bit harder, the aftermath was worse. Good. Maybe we will be more reluctant in the future to commit American lives. Unfortunately we are not reluctant to fly Drones to do our killing. That's neat. That's a video game. And nobody really dies in a video game.
We're a throw away culture that does not build products to last, but to be used for a bit and tossed (or recycled). Why can't we build a 15 year coffee pot instead of a 15 month pot? We're so used to tossing stuff when we don't want it anymore or when it is defective that we've now extended that to human life.
Sorry - that is not a path that I wish to tread. If we meet in the afterlife (and debate on 10 v 20 minute overtimes), we will see which belief was right and then move on to you realizing that Cornell is clothed in the devil's colors while Clarkson is bathed in heavenly green and gold.
PS - I am not opposed to boob on the tube. I am puzzled that making love is looked at in horror while eviscerating another human being is accepted.

You're not familiar with what a Constitutional Republic is? Or what a Senator can and can't do? Or how much of a ****ing dick Turtle Boy is?

Don't tell anybody this but I actually think this is true. Clarkson's colors are IMHO perfect and I think Vegas should have adopted their sweaters and color scheme and paid a nice honorarium to the student fund.
I was raised Roman Catholic as well. Spoiler alert: it didn't take. I respect Catholic theology far more than the warmed over pablum of Protestant mush and have a feeling that without education I would have been a formidable High Anglican. But, alas, the discoveries and social mores since Giambattista Vico have not eluded me and there's no going back to the contented bovine paradise when the sun shone on Elysian fields out of the good graces of a Man in the Sky.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but it's all nonsense. A very useful first step up the ladder from orc to human, but one we have long since left behind.

This is the computer industries fault. In Computers (IT, phones, X-Box, etc.) we have built in implied obsolescense. That concept has now been put into Appliances in your home. Why? Cause then you have to buy a new one every 7 years. Why? Cause that's more profit.
Life and the sanctity of life has nothing to do with it. It's the profit motive that is destroying the country. And it's the 1% that is driving the profit motive. It's not about building a good product, making money, and giving a good life to your workers anymore. It's all about stock price and shareholders. Shareholders that don't know anything about a Microwave Oven, or Coffee Pot. All they know about is the balance on a spreadsheet.

One generates one-time non-recurring revenue. The other generates recurring revenue because you have to buy another one. Which do you think an investor would rather see?
