When have you \*ever \*had the chance to vote for a plaster saint instead of a real human being? ---

> [@SlackerInc](#): > > What did Hillary do in 1980? She made a cool 100 grand trading commodities, possibly with the help of inside information though that never was proved. All evidence is circumstantial though the Scaifes spent literally millions trying to dig up dirt. She got cold feet pretty quickly and gave up this hobby. It may have been an indiscretion, but Bill’s national ambitions had not fully gelled at the time. If a Republican did anything like this, it would be chalked up to genius. As for Whitewater, the Clintons lost money. ---

> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > Was there anyone running this year for whom you could have voted with an open nose? Yes, Martin O’Malley. I was very disappointed he didn’t do better. > [@RickG](#): > > Maybe so, but the lesser of two evils is still _ **LESS** _ evil. In this case, IMHO, much less evil. Of course. I will certainly vote; I never haven’t. Even between two pretty bad candidates, I can find some reason to tip the scales - but sometimes it’s hard. ---
