Prickly City by Scott Stantis for September 02, 2016

I will not back any candidate who wants to grant amnesty or a ‘path to citizenship’ to millions of unauthorized immigrants.

In 2000, it was election rigging in FL, and in OH in 2004, that gave us 8 years of Dubya.No matter who wins, WE LOSE!

or at least somewhat sane, by comparison. Sure wish they had nominated Austin Petersen.

All these cartoons imply the candidates seem to come out of nowhere or just appointed by party structures. No, we have only ourselves to blame. Still sorta democracy (badly battered) which people campaign and are elected. We need to take control back from politicians and stop them from picking their voters. No messiahs here guys.

In what alternative reality do most Americans agree with the Loopy Libertarians?

Faith. Right. That’s what will save us. It always has. Hasn’t it?

I’m voting for Jill Stein (aka None of the Above).

We have a 3rd choice. And a good one!With both the major party nominees sporting disapproval ratings over 60 percent, higher than any other major party nominee in decades, many Americans seem highly displeased with what they see as their only choices. Both seem so divisive. The good news is that there is another option. Former two-term governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson is running as the Libertarian Party nominee for president. With Former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld as VP. WOW we have a rock star team to bring sanity back to a very ugly election. Oh yes, Libertarian it means Liberty!Governors, Johnson and Weld have solid leadership experience and have a basic platform of being. Socially liberal, Economically conservative As governor, Gary Johnson was fiscally responsible, he cut state taxes 14 times, balanced the budget, left the state with a $1 billion surplus and used his veto power 750 times to cut wasteful spending and legislation. He also improved many social programs. Socially liberal, Economically conservative This year presents a huge opportunity for America. Gary Johnson, his smaller government intent, and non-interventionist foreign policy are what America needs.There is a third option this November, that option has more executive experience than both the major party nominees combined! On the ballot in all 50 states.Join us.. please .. #MakeAmericaSaneAgain

Gary Johnson’s WordsMy seven principles have worked and continue to work in every aspect of my life. To stay focused and true to these principles, I keep them written down on a small piece of paper in my wallet. They are:

1. Become reality-driven. Don’t kid yourself or others. Find out what’s what and base your decisions and actions on that.2. Always be honest and tell the truth. It is extremely difficult to do any real damage to people who are willing to tell the truth regardless of the consequences.3. Always do what’s right and fair. Remember, the more you accomplish, the louder your critics become. Learn to ignore them. Maintain your integrity and continue to do what’s right.4. Determine your goal. Develop a plan to reach that goal. Then act—don’t procrastinate.5. Make sure everyone who ought to know what you’re doing, knows what you’re doing.6. Don’t hesitate to deliver bad news. Acknowledge mistakes immediately. There may still be time tosalvage things or to make corrections. Take Henry Kissinger’s advice: “Anything that will be revealedeventually should be revealed immediately.”7. Be willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. If your job doesn’t excite you enough to follow this principle, resign and find a job you love enough to do what it takes.

The electorate does not make right or wrong choices. This would require some higher power to be judging the choice as right or wrong. The electorate chooses, and learns.

We deserve who gets elected.

cosmanI don’t. My party is generally censored, even to the point that when I ran, the Dalla Snooze claimed I wasn’t a candidate. I at least tried.
