Chef Jim Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 You never heard "We have a bingo?" Part of a WNY Catholic upbringing. Nope and even if I had your use of it wouldn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) And when he's on ignore, you don't see his posts. It didn't need a sentence break. At best, we now have two responses requesting a comma after the word bingo. A stylistic choice. The comma slows down the thought. No, a stylistic choice is Gallagher smashing watermelons on stage annd calling it comedy. What you're doing is just massive ignorance, doubled-down on by not knowing what a "sentence" is.

Azalin Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Horse crap. For well over a year I avoided responding to him directly. Yet he pops up in every discussion, which inevitably gets derailed into a **** slinging contest of how much of a douchebag he is. BTW, why do you think there are more pictures of asshats, than anything else on this site? Same response to Observer. He cannot be ignored because he pollutes every single thread and nearly every discussion. So to ignore him would mean shutting down the board. So now I'm taking a new tack. I will call him an idiot in every response, and I encourage everybody else to do so. He's not worth the effort. Besides, he's just a jerk that enjoys watching the rest of us get all bent out of shape. He completely lacks intellect, subtlety, and nuance. He's just a runaway troll train that feeds off of the irritation he causes. Just put him on ignore - you won't see anything he posts unless someone else quotes him.

He's way too dense to realize how badly he gets mauled around here. I may as well ridicule my toilet for what I do to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) As for which current presidential candidate Johnson could pull voters from? According to an online political quiz, he says he's most like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. "I side with myself 99 percent of the time, but then the next politician that I most align with is Bernie Sanders at 73 percent," Johnson explained on MSNBC. http://www.aol.com/article/2016/05/26/america-is-about-to-have-a-3rd-party-nominee-gary-johnson/21384074/ Since I won't vote for Hillary or Trump , I'll have to hear him out. He could end up being the spoiler unless he takes votes from both equally . "Cut Medicare/Medicaid by 43%, as part of $1.675 trillion cut. (May 2011)" "Open the border; flood of Mexicans would become taxpayers. (Jan 2001)" http://www.ontheissues.org/Gary_Johnson.htm that would be too radical , I guess he's off my list also Edited May 26, 2016 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Looking at the Libertarian platform he will only take away votes from the Republican candidate. In a close election could make a big difference. 2000 Election Florida vote Bush 2,912,790 Gore 2,912,253 537 vote difference Nader 97,488 Electoral vote Bush 25 Gore 0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_Florida,_2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Hard core Libertarians don't live in reality but Johnson is still an appealing candidate. My in-laws who are a hard core Republican and a hard core Democrat both refuse to vote for Trump or Clinton and have decided to throw down with Johnson. It's a shocking moment from a pair of 70 year old party lifers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 The Libertarian Party is not ready - to be the alternative. Trying to become a major party, and their choice is to nominate a big government progressive, just like the democrats and republicans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Caught a bit of Johnson's appearance on Anderson Cooper last night. Definitely sounded very sensible and a credible alternative to the two leading clowns. Of course the funny part was on the panel afterward, where a Trump supporter questioned Johnson's conservative credentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
