Sanders supports free tertiary study at public institutions. He is for single-payer (health care for all without the crushing insurance premiums). Sanders wants a financial transaction tax. Yeah right. He's a rightie alright. :eyeroll:
This not only involves John Key. Think of the Speaker. How will the selectively deaf Carter deal with a Key tanty during question time? Oh yeah, he won't. Never mind.
My household of three ticked the box next to the current flag.
Electoral maths over national polls. Take for instance Wyoming. The state has 3 electoral votes. Population in the Cowboy State is around half-a-million. California has 55 electoral votes. The Golden State has nearly 39 million people. Wyoming has 133,000 ...
Urgh...just noticed the "thumbs up" doo-dad. "Thumbs down" for the "thumbs up". +1s are okay though.
I am currently registered in the 1st District in the state of Idaho. Idaho isn't like Nebraska nor Maine. Idaho is winner-take-all with its 4 electoral votes. The North End of Boise and Sun Valley are wee blue blotches on an otherwise red map. I agree ...
“Along with the concept of American Dream runs the notion that every man and woman is entitled to an opinion and to one vote, no matter how ridiculous that opinion might be or how uninformed the vote. It could be that the Borderer Presbyterian tradition ...
That film looks worth checking out. Thanks. BTW, the current Governor of Idaho has the Hollywoodesque name Butch Otter. Kiwi schoolboys would likely never tire of Idaho's senior senator's name -- Mike Crapo.
@RedLogix It's going to get ugly, you can bet your bottom dollar on that. Hillary is going to have a hell of a time trying to swing independents her way. Her selling point of incremental change may fire up wonks and established featherbedders, but it ...
Hillary, not Hilary. I prefer Sanders by a long measure, but if Hillary gets the nod I'll hold my nose and vote for her. Not that it makes one jot of difference as my registration is in one of the USA's deepest red states. My two sisters and mom live in a ...
To be fair kiwis aren’t that much brighter as a group since we keep voting for Key and his cronies. Ouch. As a dually Kiwi/Yank I gots a double dose of the stupid. :) I don't vote National or Republican though. In the States I'll support Bernie and here ...
Mary's predicament is the same as many NZers. However, many in the US don't enjoy any safety net (yes,it can be said NZ's net looks tattered lately).
Yeah, I see what you mean. My great-great grandfather once farted in church and for four generations my clan has born the shame.
Cruz is a nasty piece of work. His relationship to truthtelling is on par with Key. Cruz makes Key look like a fluffy progressive bunny. Yeesh.
In reply to Stuff the Politicians... Sadly this seems to be the default position here in New Zealand. I've lost count of the times where interacting with New Zealanders they assume by my North American accent that I'm Canadian (I suppose because I don't ...
Thanks for the link, Anno1701
Carson – a man of genuine integrity. "Ben Carson said it’s "total propaganda" to suggest he had any connection to Mannatech, a maligned nutritional supplement company. *snip* [his] claim suggests he has no ties to Mannatech whatsoever. In reality, he got ...
Cruz? Even members of his own party dislike him. Rubio? This fellow doesn't show up for work very often. Carson? Reportedly a gifted surgeon, he is prone to proposing weird theories such as the Egyptian pyramids being built as granaries. He also claimed to...
You strike me as an establishment sort, Wayne. Even the thought of a Trump presidency must give you pause. Amongst the other candidates running for the Republican nomination, who would be your pick (assuming you had a vote)?
...err...DNC...though I'm down with RunDMC. Wak This Way, indeed! :) The current chair of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, doesn't appear to be too popular with the Democrat activist wing. Biden already announced that he is not seeking the office of ...
I too have US citizenship. Unfortunately my vote won't amount to much as I'm registered in a deeply red state.
Trump the next president? Get real, Wayne. The next president of the US needs 270 electoral votes. Look at the electoral map from the 2012. Which blue states would a Trump candidacy flip?
What next ? “Sir Rodney Hide? That would be quite farcical. So yeah, why not? Indeed, the knighthood rigamarole doesn't really have much practical use, does it?
Damn straight! +1
For instance I do not find it the least surprising that 25% of Black voters might vote Trump. ...and pigs might grow wings and fly... But not all black people are in dire circumstances. The whole of HipHop seems to be in love with ostentatious displays of...
. I find it hard to believe that he can win major states. But then again who really expected that Trump would be still doing as well as he is. D'ya reckon California and New York, Massachusetts, and Illinois are not "major" states? Have you knowledge of ...
The red peak design looks to me like an upside-down rugby league jersey. I'd not be surprised if a Sydney club wears a kit that resembles this design.
Key sure has a penchant for having boots in both camps. I've heard that in Afrikaans the term is soutpiel. Sout is salt and piel is penis. It comes from the idea that one has a foot in the UK and a foot in South Africa, thus the penis dangling in the ...
This flag debate is like taking a meeting to decide which doughnuts should be ordered for the next meeting. A few individuals get really worked up about the frigging doughnuts, but most attending see the whole exercise as a colossal waste of time.
There are other pressing issues happening here in Malaysia. The Prime Minister Najib sacked a large number of ministers. Muhyiddin, the deputy pm got the heave-ho as he was about to put into motion the vote to roll Najib over the 1MDB scandal. Muhyiddin, ...
