(31,706 posts)Help me with that one? Somehow our elections will be hacked IF we don't put "someone in charge who is truly independent of whomever runs the current administration"? So does that disqualify anyone currently serving in this administration? Does that extend to those currently serving in the House and Senate as well? Honestly, I'm trying to figure out what you're getting at here.
Your sig line is for a fantasy candidate...not one whose even mentioned any intentions of running. Whatif she decides not only to stay in the Senate and support a Hillary Clinton bid (who according to your criteria would be insufficient) then what if? (I can play this game as well).
Again...I welcome a full investigation of the NSA...and would welcome a massive revision or outright repeal of the "Patriot" act...but they have and always have been in the purview of the legislative...the dysfunctional House and Senate. They passed these draconian laws and only they can repeal them.
I'm very open to learn of candidates who are "devoted to our rights and not part of our government"...but then what happens when they become part of that government? Do you suggest we totally scrap the system we have...and then what do we replace it with? Again...lots of paranoia and little substance here. I appreciate what COULD be...but I prefer to live in a world of WHAT IS.
Cheers...
