Summations Only

Actually there is a history of that with parties splitting and splintering, but the secondary parties simply cannot gather enough support to be more than a foot note. Most notable might be the Progressive (AKA Bull Moose) Party.What the splintering does often do though is cause sufficient confusion that the winner is elected without a majority or even close to a majority of the votes.

Remember Jesus was a nice Jewish boy.

But if he had only found a nice Jewish girl maybe he would have become a doctor and healed people.

The proper response to Morris's claim that "Boys who decide to claim a 'transgender' life-style are permitted to become a member of a Girl Scout troop, performing crafts with the girls and participate in overnight and camping activities — just like any real girl." would be "Thank God".The man is simply a 14^th. Century bigot.

In the US, Avoidance Schools as well as Avoidance TV and Avoidance Web Browsers and Avoidance Textbooks are big business.Look up the lyrics to "Old Time Religion" and then change that the word religion to education and you will get a feel for the CCoI.

You need to remember that Newt Gingrich was once Speaker of the House which placed him in the Presidential Line of Succession should anything happen to the US President. In fact the line is Vice President, then Speaker of the House.

There are no taboo points of view that I know of; perhaps you could tell us what those taboo points of view are?

Yup, we have the government we created, the news system we decided to destroy, the health system and education system we decided to emasculate and the debt we wanted.

Actually the Republican conversion in a Christian Fascist party happened through the Moral Majority.

Because that was then and this is now. Old news is good for nothing. New news on the other hand wraps fish and lines bird cages. It also fills white space between ads.

Well, this could be interesting; finally we may see that today's Republican Party has nothing to do with the Grand Old Party and is solely made up of Nutjobs (Tea Party) and the worst of Capitalism, true Fascists.Engine Charlie will be thrilled.

Just a side bet.Hillary Clinton/Julian Castro.And then:Cuban Cigars make a comeback.

Pontifications of a real Prick.And Bullshit. Utter bullshit.I might well own your house eventually, but that has nothing to do with whether or not I get the care needed now.But guess what?Not everyone owns a house.Not everyone even has the money needed to sue those who do have houses.The Tea Party is about five steps lower than the Christian Fascist faction of the Republican Party and perhaps even below the Randians on the scale of humanity.

First, remember that if it was not for us old farts you wouldn't have computers.Second, you have gotta be nuts if you want a direct democracy. Really totally blindingly nuts.Haven't you been complaining about the "crazies out there" all over this board?

But I can start a fire just rubbing sticks together, cook a meal in a bread oven (even one I've made myself) and can still write an operating system from scratch.Direct democracy only works when there is an informed electorate and we have done away with that concept.
