Had a thought recently that I am sick of politicians as a whole. Time for a change right! Why not vote someone in who is not a politician?
What r your thoughts?

As much as that seems like a good idea, I think that few non-professional types could ever stand the screening process of becoming a major candidate. They pretty much run a Q-tip across the lives of candidates and any dirt at all is gonna disqualify

You will get a wealthy politician who is in the pocket of us globalists and you will like it.

You will be convinced that this candidate will right some some perceived injustice.

A combination of military and CEO/Business experience.

Any lawyer that would run for president is about the same as a lifelong poiltician....who do you think makes up the majority of politicians? LAWYERS

HockeyDad, do they just ignore you because you're so nice, or because I distract them, and justify their ignorance and apathy?

Dude...Expand your horizons and get out of the POLITICS Forum for a while.

Go to Cigar Discussions and talk about a great cigar you had or a Herf that was fun!


General Discussion and discuss some good music or food.

Relax!

No. I'd rather stay here 15 minutes a day and laugh at the lower evolved ones like HD does.

It's really funny. He gives up GEMS of knowledge and wisdom, and just like the monkeys that refused the magic apple, they are ignored. Ignored why? Cause I'm bright and shiny and am much easier to come after. He's the truth. I'm the lie. The truth is scary.

I'll take your word for it...Just sayin that engaging in lighthearted conversation, at least occassionally, is much easier on the blood pressure, than tense, contrary ones. But if that's what floats your boat, so be it!Applause Dancing

That is good to hear.

We have a pool going as to the day that you totally stroke out. 2 premium cigars per square/date. Me and FGM have our squares still quite a way off. Tailgater's pick is coming up.

HockeyDad, I've lost 42 lbs since the last time we met. Back to 165 just like High School. Stroke out? Are you kidding me? I have never, and I mean NEVER been in as good as shape as I am now. Life is good. Real good.

I seriously think that our next president should be a hydroponic weed grower.

Successful business man meets conscientious objector to some of our country's more pointless legislation and wasted spending.

It's a win-win for everyone.
