I didn't even notice that. I didn't go back looking for an old post. Somehow it must have come up again, I guess.

Either that or twilight zone.

52, self employed engineer consultant after owning a small business for 14 years, moderate with some libertarian leanings on fiscal issues and liberal on social issues. Interestingly enough I have never found a perfect candidate in any election at any level.....I can’t begin to imagine how people become so enamored with a politician as most Trump supporters are and most Obama supporters were. It is very strange that winning an election can make a person infallible suddenly.

And why do so many of you mention the free market as a political view? Why not unicorns and big foot? All three are equally realistic. Just for the fun of it though why doesn’t someone explain what a free market is and where it has ever existed. I love it when worshippers of the free market are faced with the reality of explaining what the free market is. Inevitable they will wind up EXACTLY where the markets of the world are today. It’s the same way with libertarians....have them explain their ideal world and they will eventually describe the world we live in today, down to the smallest detail, of course with the stamp of approval of the libertarian as an individual. Just silliness......but when you are perpetually a sophomore in college what other than silly could you be?

Capitalist, But I believe in making some provisions to deal with those
failings or shortcomings of the free market that adversely affect,to an unacceptable degree, our citizens. The market is far from


perfect

If I wasn’t on my phone, I could more clearly and completely explain my point of view.

so you don't vote democrat?
