Re: Republicans To Battle Trump
Blue Jay loads up some typos with:
You two people with numbers for names aren't allowed to talk to each other: you might give the impression that this is upon us. Of course, since Bernie Sanders is ushering in the Dawn of Socialism in America, it's probably only a matter of time before we all have serial numbers for names and mind-altering PC drugs to keep us all in line, so perhaps we should all be voting for Trump too?
Who tattooed numbers on the Jews? The fascists or the communists?
Here is how your post should read:

Re: Is Donald Trump Buying the Republican Nomination?
NoNukes asks:
Would a solution be to make campaign advertising cheap or free? Can we do that without taking away someone else's property.
Certainly allotting free time for the major candidates would be nice. The TV will get their money back from the ratings.
How to cull the 100's of silly candidates from the list? I suggest weekly or bi-weekly open primaries open to both parties and all across the country, at once. Then trim the survivors and kick out the losers. Work it down to a handful of 8 or so - these would be the major candidates. Then the debates begin with continuing weekly/bi-weekly primaries to continue to cull until there are 2 left standing for the November Voting Day (which should be moved to Veteran's Day holiday)....
maybe not.

But keep in mind that advertising does work in this society else Madison Avenue would not exist.
And here is the devastating indictment of homo sapiens. Advertising works.
Maybe all political advertising should be prohibited. Candidates would post position papers on some electionYYYY.gov page for every one to read.
But this would then be a literacy test all over again....

Re: Dont harsh my buzz
Faith goes on:
But thanks to the infiltration of Cultural Marxism and its Political Correctness, which is nothing but ramming leftism down our throats, the country has become polarized in a very unhealthy way.
wow! to think the SDS was so successful!! Mark Rudd & Tom Hayden must be grinning ear to ear.
NOT.
You would agree that white men using the 'n'-word is not politically correct, right? So maybe you have a stranger definition of PC? It seems, from you general posting record.
Would you call FDR a Marxist?
