Not true. The regime he is rebelling against is pretty bloody awful. He kills all the people on the death star and a fuckton of troopers on Hoth and Endor but the Empire did blow up Alderaan killing everyone on an entire planet. The difference here is that the Death Star is a military target. He killed soldiers and military personnel... not civilians. That's not really a terror attack. Now if you wanted to argue that the Empire commits terrorism then I think you'd have an argument.

They need a white Christian male. Hopefully one who doesn't have a pregnant biographer like John Edwards.

I liked Bernie but there was no way an unpartied geriatric jew atheist would be POTUS. But I've voted for third parties more than I have from the major two in presidential politics altogether and I wish Kasich would have gotten the nomination, because he is actually capable of enacting positive change.

People went to the demagogue because the alternative was someone so pragmatic she didn't have personal values and there was really no real reason to feel aspiration. Technicratically speaking she was superior in every way but she doesn't capture the imagination or inspire.....and if there is no aspiration people will act in desperation. Nobody came out to vote. Now our executive government is so erratic nobody knows who will be working there tomorrow.

Thats odd imo. Kasich always made my skin crawl. He was a fiscal democrat and a social republican. The worst of both worlds.

Fiscal Democrats add less to the deficit than fiscal Republicans. Also not sure how social issues are even relevant anymore... abortion and gay marriage will always be the law of the land. A president isn't going to decide whether trannies can use the wrong bathroom.
