Why should that be a criterion for voting someone?

Are you unsullied?

I'll be your mirror (reflect who you are).

Do you know what will be the best thing about this election? On Nov 5 it will be over and we won't be bombarded with political ads. OMG I am tired of them.

Nope.

Which provides further evidence that it's probably a foregone conclusion we'll see him in office yet again. Florida isn't exactly the land of critical thinking, or Mensa membership.

we all know most posters here are republican in nature. so no debate here, only one sided bashing-- I am still in unbelief that any woman would vote for anyone who thinks she should not have equal pay-- amazing brain washing.

Until you can get the money out of the politics, it is all bad politics. My vote-- get the lobbyist and contributors OUT first- then we can see who is really the best candidate.

100% spot on. There's a lot of Obama-bashing but if people would follow the money they'd see the real problem, many of whom they are so rabidly supporting.

RE follow the money. There are more billionaires and Wall Street types contributing to Dems than Republicans. The Dems complain about the Koch Brothers but ignore Soros, the CEO of Microsoft, Zukerberg (sp) of Facebook, all the media moguls and actors, etc.
