I agree, kicking all Muslims out of the country would be ineffective and impractical. That's the answer I give to my wife every time she makes the suggestion, which is often.

At least the government is doing a good job (maybe) of keeping the worst ones out. Unlike certain European countries.

And to answer you second question, Alton Nolen.

Fixed that for you.

There's no room around here for a bigoted prejudiced person spewing hatred….now git.

Differences of opinion are another thing… hating people because they are Muslim is something else entirely.

don't you think kicking them out of  "the land of the free" would perpetuate that idea, rather than solve the problem?

and when's the last time you saw a muslim in this country speaking to "destroy" anything?

i'm bored with these random thoughts…. hint hint

James Ford once beat up a mime.

It should have happened in 2008. We'd have single-payer health care and 6 democrats on the Supreme Court.

If you hope for a liberal woman in the White House, you're better off pushing for Elizabeth Warren.

Are you saying that Elizabeth Warren has a better chance of getting elected than Hillary, or that Hillary isn't a liberal woman (and Elizabeth Warren is)?

I am saying I think she has a better chance than Hillary in a general election (less divisive; less baggage).  Of course, the GOP could nominate a real dog, in which case, either could win.

Who would be a "non-Dog" the Republicans could nominate? The GOP base is middle-aged white men and elderly white men at this point. A lot is going to be made of the GOP winning house and Senate seats in the mid-terms, but raw numbers will show that's only because of gerrymandering and more people will vote for the Democrats nationally overall yet again. Who are the Republicans going to run that can survive the Republican primaries and have a chance in hell at not alienating 55% of voters in the general election?

Oprah

Oprah is a Republican? This is news to me.

I don't know what she is, but if she were a Republican, she could win.

The Republicans best chance would seem to be nominating a moderate African-American or Latino candidate. Bonus points if that candidate is a woman.

Sure, if Hillary Clinton were a Republican, the Republicans could win. If zombie-JFK were a Republican, the Republicans could win. If the resurrected Jesus Christ were return to earth, cure diseases and feed the sick, end all wars, and then turn his attention to politics, and become a Republican, he could win.

Can we keep the conversation to actual, current Republican politicians?

Elizabeth Warren??? Ha ha ha….. that is funny.
