Presidential candidates and presidents always lie. For the past 100+ years, from Wilson to FDR to Truman and up to Obama, they have lied repeatedly about taxes, spending, regulations, and war. (More to come in future posts)

What were Libertarians thinking when they nominated Gary Johnson for President?
“Where are libertarians going? What is clear is where they are not going. The much-touted “libertarian moment,” as a New York Times Magazine article phrased it two years ago, never materialized. …”

Tom DiLorenzo may have the answer why the Clintons are the “Teflon couple”
“One of the first of thousands of Clinton administration scandals was that they were caught illegally in possession of hundreds of FBI files of all the Republicans in D.C. We can assume that these were used by the Clintons to do as much political blackmailing as they could get away with. There is no reason to believe that they don’t still have this information, and that they have gathered much more, using their vast wealth to have hired private investigators, something they were well known for doing. When I was asked two months ago at a conference if I thought Hillary would be prosecuted, I said “no,” I expect that she will blackmail her way out of it.”

Hillary is supposed to be one of the smartest women in the US and on the planet. More evidence she is clueless.

In her column today Montclair State University political science and law professor Brigid Callahan Harrison calls for New Jersey state GOP to disavow Donald Trump’s presidential run. Prof. Harrison asserts that Trump’s intemperate remarks about Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who was presiding over a lawsuit against Trump University, is enough reason for Republicans to abandon the Donald’s unorthodox campaign for the president.
At the end of her column Harrison quotes House Speaker Paul Ryan who states that the presidential campaign should be about ideas, not personal attacks. I totally agree. Presidential candidates should offer their “vision” for the Nation and let the voters decide who should occupy the Oval Office. So instead of two major political parties dominating the presidential campaign, let’s abolish political parties and have individuals run for the presidency on the vision thing. Let’s eliminate presidential party primaries and have candidates go directly to the people in a general election campaign.
In this year’s race for the White House we would have several Democrats and more than a dozen Republicans trying to win the hearts and minds of the American people. As far as how this will play out of in the electoral college is anyone’s guess. However, shortening the political campaign would be a great relief to the American people. And presidential candidates would be forced not to rely on the party bosses to grab their respective parties nomination but go directly to the American people for support.
With a substantial number of Americans unhappy with the presumptive choices who will be the Democratic and Republican nominees, abolishing political parties would create a more level playing field in the presidential campaign.
