    Big girl reacted to tvc184 in Serious question   
    Yes, that is what cost the Dems as they had no real primary. It took an independent in Sanders to even challenge the system as all of the main Democratic players had gotten their marching orders..... stay out and let the queen be crowned. 
    It backfired on them.

    Regardless if you are a Dem. or Rep., we should all agree on some basic principles for all of mankind (humankind):
    1. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
    2. To those who have been given much, much will be required of you.
    3. Those less fortunate (by no circumstance or choosing of their own) should be able to get help/assistance.  As one of the wealthiest and greatest nations on earth, with a society of innovative, successful and caring people, we should find a way to offer assistance and care to our elderly, disabled, children/infants, widows/widowers, and orphans.  A combination of private, charitable and public funds should be available to help our neediest neighbors.  No one should have to go hungry, go without medicine, or have to choose between eating one hot meal vs. paying for medication to survive another day.  Go out and volunteer.  Take a Saturday and deliver Meals on Wheels.  You will meet great people who will make you think twice about ending all social programs.  Too many elderly people and families with special needs children/adults having to make tough choices about eating versus paying for health care/doctor's visits/medicine.  I've met them.  These are not people looking to abuse social programs.  These are retirees who have just enough to make ends meet, but they have to forego some necessities, e.g., they don't turn on the A/C or water for fear of a high utility bill, they don't shower everyday for fear of a high utility bill, they don't eat everyday because they need $100 or $200 at the end of the month for more medication.  These issues will move you to be more compassionate and less worried about Dems v. Reps., less worried about having a few extra dollars taken from you paycheck to help provide for your community.
    4. We need to find a way to ensure that systemic and/or individual abuse of social programs is stopped.  Like most people, I don't like it when I see or hear about welfare kings and queens.  But, that dislike does not move me to the extreme of ending all social programs for our most neediest brothers and sisters.  We need to be fiscally responsible.  Hardworking people will pay taxes and give to charities to help others, but there is no denying that abuse of the public programs diminishes one's willingness to pay those taxes or to freely give.  We need to find the right balance.
    When I visit this forum, there is always too much extreme focus on the left vs. the right.  Start looking at what's in the middle.  Few people on the extreme left or right.  There's a whole bunch of great people in the middle.
    Go Indians.  Peace.

    As a RN, i am trained to recognize symptoms, so that i can report my findings to the physician so that he can change the treatment plan. I cant make a diagnosis. If there is a kid on my caseload whose mental status is declining,  I have to be able to recognize that , and report my findings to her/his doctor. I am his eyes and ears. I once made a visit to see a lady who is bipolar. When i arrived, she was in an acute manic state and i had to call 911, because i used my nursing knowledge and recognized what was happening hence I recognize that Trump is not playing with a full deck.

    I didn't see your question. So, you think unemployed people benefit from Obamacare? Please say I'm misreading your comment. You see, y'all went in focused on the wrong things, banning people and healthcare. I see one common denominator in both of these events. God don't like ugly. That's why yall lost the war of southern aggression.

    From the looks of it Obama will not suffer no matter what they do with the affordable care or american care. His family will have good insurance and a government check for life. He may play all the golf he likes also.

    I didnt read the article, but anyone that doesn't believe that both parties lie, have mental issues. And when it comes to lying they are closer to equal than most want to believe. The last 16 years were controlled by a pub and a dem. What did we learn from 2007 and 2016. Look at how much money rich folk spend on elections!

    Big girl reacted to 1989NDN in Should Judges Be Impeached?   
    Federal judges are not elected.  They are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.  Some state court judges are elected, e.g., Texas.  Others are appointed by the state's governor, and others have a hybrid system for appointing/electing judges.
    Too much of a knee-jerk reaction to call for impeachment of a judge because you disagree with his or her ruling or the opinion of a court.  If you disagree, then appeal.  Argue the flaws of your opponent's case and the merits of your case.  If we attacked the judiciary and impeached every judge that did not agree with the then-existing/prevailing majority, then we would still be stuck with separate-but-equal, Jim Crow laws, limited protections for free speech, limited rights of privacy, etc.  Things balance out.  The Warren Court was countered by the Burger and Rehnquist Courts...ebb and flow of life.
