Not just the current field of Republucans running for President but a lot of Republican politicians who are denouncing Trump are saying that they will vote for him in the General Election. So even with all his faults they are going to vote party line. So why do they criticize Democrats for voting party line?
The trolls here spew shit to tarnish Hillary, trying to persuade your opinion. Now I’m more of a Bernie fan but Hillary has my vote regardless. Regardless if she is a thief, liar, or dumb (which she isn’t). If they’ll vote for Trump even after denouncing him and making the comments that they have then how can they even argue against Hillary’s Charaxter?
They need to accept Trump and then let’s go Mano a mano on policy issues. Not the bullshit shit that Republicans want to talk about or disparage people so you vote against them. Let’s have a fair fight. The people deserve a fair fight. But Republicams are Cowards, they fear that their own shitty policies will lose them an election.
Their nomination is their problem and our nomination is our problem not theirs. Why do they make it theirs? They fear Hillary.
Then let’s move forward and talk about real priorities not the small bullshit. Like doing something so we all have fucking water to drink.

@6 Listen, son, Republicans have been playing the same game for as long as I can remember, and I remember the 1952 election. The reason they do is because they can’t win on issues. And they can’t win on the character of their candidates, either (even Ike was an adulterer). So they trash-talk their opponents, promise deficit-exploding tax cuts, exploit their wedge issues, and suppress the Democratic vote because that’s all they’ve got.

For me, unfortunately, the government or whoever is going to have to give me a few examples of what the classified information is. I’m not buying into Hillary saying that the government is over classifying information, as the article suggests, in just not a sheepish person, I need literate quotes of the classified information, so I myself can determine if it was anything damaging.
Analysis: Clinton part of widespread use of non-secure email for sensitive information http://cour.at/21ODwEA
Those that are always blaming and crying about the liberal media are in a 180 twist lapping up what is supposedly “classified”. Sorry, put it out there – you know it already must be out there anyways, right? Or is this a case of accusing someone of murder of without knowing if maybe ther missing person just ran away from home?
Sorry, voting for Hillary sure beats voting for any Nazis.

@17 Your comments get to the heart of the conundrum. How can you know whether there is a real issue here if you can’t see any of the damned e-mails in question. Which is most likely already out there in public perhaps from Wiki leaks. But the governments reply is their classified trust us.
When it comes to people being tried for these types of crimes the government likes to keep the issue to just what the perpetrator did. While it should be a defense that the information itself should never have been classified the government will fight tooth and nail that is not relavant. Just the person took the oath, did the training, and did this behavior that violates the law and they should be punished under the espionage act…and it’s a very large fine and a long prison sentence. Of course politicians and political appointees seem to get away with a lot more than that fellow sitting in a cell at Fort Leavenworth. And leaks of classified information happen all the time on Capital Hill often intentionally by one pol of whatever party and sometimes with the White House’s willing participation, as long as there is deniability. Of course the President, the head of the NSA, CIA, most Cabinet officials are themselves the original classification authorties. Who are supposed to use the classification guides to determin if something should or should not be classified. It’s the lower level officials and worker bees who do this. With good old CYA being the operative motive here, and not wanting to upset the boss or the powers that be things get classified that should not be. When a three star general says a CNN report is classified and a roomful of Staff Sergeants tell him he’s nuts the CNN report gets classified and will likely remain classified until the date in future it’s supposed to be become unclsssified and then it might get a new date. This could be to made sure the three star isn’t embarrassed or shown to be stupid in this instance, but that can’t be the official reason, so something of public knowledge will remain classified and if some underling talks about it to the press or their mom, Senator, ect they can get hit with criminal prosecution for passing states secrets and go to prison.
I’m reading the Pentagon’s Brain about DARPA. In the chapter about Vietnam a couple of anthropoligists go to some villages and talk to the villagers about a program that has moved them from their home to set up these new villages with walls ect. These guys get the villagers to open up and they find out the program is not working. They return to Washington and write the report up and it’s unclassified. They speak to the boss at ARPA and he turns his chair on them and then their unclassified report becomes classified Secret. Clearly because the report didn’t toe the line, and questioned how we were going to succeed in Vietnam winning the hearts and minds. This was in 1961 under Kennedy and of course us being in Vietnam at the time was kinda a open secret. The first sprayings of Agent orange happened under ARPA in 1961. Of course this was secret as well no matter how you look at the use of Agent Orange it’s chemical warfare and against the Geneva accords. And the North Vietnamese did notice and it hit the radio back in 1963 but for some reason it didn’t become big news, and it remained secret and the spraying continued.
Of course there is Castle Bravo that the crew of the Lucky Dragon inadvertently exposed them and the Pacific Islanders who had to be moved. Yep we lit off the first hydrogen bomb there and got a bigger explosion than expected from a deliverable bomb. It was expected to be 6 megatons and we got 15. A bomb that if dropped on Washington DC today would kill 20 million people and take out most the east coast. Of course we had plans for a 10,000 megaton bomb able to take out a continent.
So does our government keep secrets to protect us. Or does it and other governments keep secrets because we might be very upset if we knew? Could be some of both, and I do believe the government must keep some things secret if only for a period of time, but the latter makes it appearance far more often than it should.
So yes there is a lot of over classification and a lot of misclassification. Or classification for reasons that have to do with protecting the guilty than what our laws provide for. There is a gray area in all of this that persons who like things black and white are going to have a problem with, or try to manipulate. I believe government should be open and transparent and secrets kept to a minimum. Information on what has been done in the past and needed to be kept secret at the time should come out in time. That would include police investigations that went no where, and the bell has tolled. That one will get a lot of police chiefs and shriffs all huffy. I do think local government has a reason to keep the probable location of a say a bridge project secret for a time to prvent speculation and so the public purse isn’t stolen from, still by the time the bridge is built all this must come out in the wash so the publica can know if there was an unacceptable level of corruption in the process. (A small amount of corruption is probably good as it shows at least there was something worth stealing involved).

Interesting article and editorial commentary from Railway Age on the impending strike and lockout at New Jersey Transit’s commuter rail division. New Jersey Transit has released a contingency plan, redirecting passengers to charter buses, the PATH, and ferries. Towards the end of the article, some scathing criticism of Governor Christie.

@37 While I’m sure Christie is putting pressure on board members the board is independent and the only thing Governor Christie has is a veto. Nothing in the article states says the board came to a decision to accept the contract proposal and it was vetoed by Christie. Christie maybe fine with railroad workers having a union just those nasty teachers having a union.
Guess you have a lot of Trump support building in some newspaper offices across New Jersey and in the state so Christie will disappear from state politics quietly. They look forward to sharing their gift of Governor Christie to the nation.
