There are several conservative parties....The Constituional Party, Libertarian Party, etc.....there are moderate independents as well. The best conservatives have left the GOP already. Until it cleans obstructionists from it's ranks...the GOP in my view is damaged beyond repair. Honesty doesn't get to lawyer up and hide behind the 5th amendment...it speaks the truth.
We don't know who will run but it won't be anyone who's buried their head in the sand and watched Trump grift the nation. I also won't vote for anyone who I feel is too old or underqualified to represent democracy. I will vote for democracy, bottom line. That leaves out most republican candidates currently. I don't want Joe or Kamala to be the president unless the alternative is a Trumper and not to be trusted...last election I would like to have voted for John Yang but he has zero chance at winning given the targeting oif asians in hate crimes the last few years....unfortunate because that's the type of leadership I'd prefer...someone who doesn't flaunt their ego and rolls up their sleeves and goes to work. I'm voting for equal and civil rights promoting leadership and against propping up white privilege and religious fundamentalism.
She won't in my view. She doesn't need that around her life at all. She hasn't once expressed a desire for a political career. That's just people loving her and propping her up. Great woman in my view. She'd get George Bush's vote. Being likeable and articulate doesn't qualify you to be president....although it's an added bonus if you are.
O Jeez (Fargo)....Thats Cruel. Do want graphic expression?
AIGF (I'll start my own phone text language} All in good fun.
Check Out the Libertarians. That's where I'm going, so far. Perhaps, I'll run for Libertarian president. Johnson failed. I bet I could get 100 votes over him and storm the Libertarian party into 5th place. All that's needed is monetary funding! If I got a vote of confidence from every single member in S2, I would take on this daunting responsibility.

~ Hope you and your wife are doin AOK. Today, my wife and I went on a fantasy together.
I'm sorry but it's already established and not by me. Remember when Clinton got criticized for saluting his guard when he stepped off Air Force 1?
No, I am the imposter. I can not only impersonate Riverman's voice but also throw it so it sounds like it's coming from elsewhere. And now, my latest dastardly deed? I've discovered his password and now make more than half his purported posts. Note the argument I'm having with myself over whether the President is a member of the military or not? Oh, clever boy.
Johnson volunteered immediately after Pearl Harbor (like so many other Americans) but it was as much for political reasons as patriotic reasons. He only spent about 6 months in uniform. He went on one bombing run in the South Pacific (more to get a combat ribbon than anything) which was aborted due to mechanical problems. On the way back to base they were attacked by Zeros and pretty well shot up (The plane he was supposed to be on was shot down with no survivors….all because Johnson had to take a preflight dump and someone else took his place). Upon returning to base, Lyndon changed his underwear and requested a transfer back home. And for his mission of personal aggrandizement he was awarded a Silver Star (??!!???). Politicians sure like to pad their (and each other’s) resumes while those around them are actually doing all the heavy lifting……
Just those that served from WW2 onwards. Thanks for your great info.
Reagan never left his air conditioned office.
Better than 15 to one casualties is hardly what I would call getting our ass kicked. The NVA and especially the Viet Cong attacked in mass and got mowed down. Their strategy was to overwhelm the Americans which occasionally worked. Every time they scored a costly win the American public couldn't take it and wanted out of an endless exchange of life which the Vietnamese were prepared to sacrifice while we wore definitely not prepared to take our 70,000 or more deaths. I lost friends over there and understand our desire to not have more sacrifice. It was very painful for us. Now imagine how painful it was for the Vietnamese who lost an order of magnitude more while having a much smaller population than us. Now that's some grit.
Agreed completely. Wire out a lot of shoes protesting.
I wanted to protest when I got out of the Army. Missed out undoubtedly because of another commitment. The kids that went got the holy shit beat out of them by the cops. Blood everywhere. Happened in the park blocks sometime around 1970 or '71. The park blocks are near Portland State University.
He did join the caravan of movie stars to sell war bonds.
That was only to dart out of his office building and just as quickly to dart back in. Hell, staying outside you could accidentally catch a rain drop or suffer some hot air.
