If there ever was a reason to vote against Cllinton -- http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/g ... ton-230620

If you vote for Clinton, you are on the side of W. Bush. You don't want to run the risk of being associated with W, do you?

Trump magical thinking:

Vote Hillary, she has one foot firmly in reality.

Nice one behind a pay wall.

There:
A group of 370 economists, including eight Nobel laureates in economics, have signed a letter warning against the election of Republican nominee Donald Trump, calling him a “dangerous, destructive choice” for the country.

Signatories include economists Angus Deaton of Princeton University, who won the economics Nobel last year, and Oliver Hart of Harvard University, who was one of the two Nobel winners this year.

The letter is notable because it is less partisan or ideological than such quadrennial exercises, and instead takes issue with Mr. Trump’s history of promoting debunked falsehoods.

“He misinforms the electorate, degrades trust in public institutions with conspiracy theories and promotes willful delusion over engagement with reality,” said the signatories, which also include Paul Romer, the new chief economist at the World Bank, and Kenneth Arrow, the 1972 Nobel winner.

Comey's acting in a partisan way unbecoming of his job... after the FBI essentially absolved Clinton of guilt, he relaunches the investigation an d does not abstain from launching innuendo torpedoes against her, while at the same time he refrains from doing the same about trump, even though he's obviously action on behalf of Russian interests, it's even said that a certain Russian agency has actionable blackmail material against him, but he does not act on that "as this is not the thing to do in electoral period"... that guy is licking boots already.

It's either that or the anti-Semite, who laughs when people are killed "we came, we saw, he died..." [chuckle chuckle]

Then vote for Johnson or Stein. If debunked falsehoods are a bad thing, then you sure as hell can't vote for Hillary.

Misinforms the electorate? Hillary, check. Degrades trust in public institutions? You can't get more degrading of trust in public institutions than Hillary. She outright says she lies about her position publicly, holding a contrary private position. She gave access to the State Department to paying customers, and Friends of Bill.

Trumps main points on the economy, that jobs are lost due to deals like NAFTA and that China cheats as a currency manipulator, etc., are not conspiracy theories. These are facts which even Democrats have agreed to. There is no dispute that the US has lost most of its manufacturing base, and is dangerously close to the point of no return, if indeed we have not already crossed it.

Comey's acting in a partisan way unbecoming of his job... after the FBI essentially absolved Clinton of guilt,

The FBI did not absolve her of guilt. The FBI found that she was negligent and careless, and they declined to prosecute and declined to impanel a grand jury. But, they did not find her innocent. Comey came right out and said that while she did not lie directly to the FBI, she did make public false statements about her emails. She lied to the public about why she had a private server, she lied about having authorization to use it, she lied about it being legal, she lied about having confidential information on it, she liked about sending and receiving classified information, and she lied about sending and receiving information which was marked classified at the time. You can see Comey answer questions before Congress saying exactly that. She wasn't absolved.

he relaunches the investigation an d does not abstain from launching innuendo torpedoes against her,

They found 650,000 emails, some of which were contained in a folder marked "life insurance" and they are pertinent to the investigation of Clinton. What could possibly be wrong with continuing the investigation. And, since he testified under oath that the investigation was complete and that he would keep Congress informed, he notified them that the "complete" part of his testimony was no longer accurate. He didn't know the import of the documents yet, but he said the investigation was continuing.

while at the same time he refrains from doing the same about trump, even though he's obviously action on behalf of Russian interests,

Present one shred of proof, even one concrete allegation, against him on that point. Nobody has ever alleged that he's "acting on behalf of Russian interests," much less "obviously" so.

it's even said that a certain Russian agency has actionable blackmail material against him, but he does not act on that "as this is not the thing to do in electoral period"... that guy is licking boots already.

Link? Citation needed.
