Also, did you hear Chomsky tell me not to vote?
Around 2:30 or so of the link below, he says if you're in a "safe" state, you can vote for whomever you want or not vote, but if you're in a swing state then you should vote *against* the Republican Party. I still haven't decided if I'm going to sit it out or vote if the Hillary is nominated. I really don't think, given those two candidates, the consequences are as grave as what Chomsky suggests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btJfkPBLULg |

Indiana, beig a "safe" state for Repos, you're vote is inconsequential.

We did have a laugher in the 3rd Congressional district primary, though.
He's pretty much got the reputation of being a town drunk. http://wane.com/2016/05/03/tommy-schrader-wins-3rd-district-democratic-nomination/ |

When he's wrong, he's wrong. ;0)

I'm not certain I missed the mark too much.
I've no doubt had Hillary won, we'd have several tens of thousands of soldiers with boots on the ground in Syria, for instance. Good to hear from you, Chief. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again. |

20 million dead Koreans beg to differ.
