[Am on travel and daily connectivity is iffy.  Am very interested in hearing readers' take on what is the definitive yet plausible disclosure about Hillary's emails that would start other Dems coming out of the woodwork to throw their hats into the ring for 2016.  So far everything looks like the email thing may become yesterday's newspaper if nothing more is revealed – which to me would be outrageous.]

    Actually, the Clinton slush fund accepting deposits from foreign entities that received money and goodness knows what else from the US govt while she was Sec Of State is far more damaging. The left loves to play up the ‘Papa Bush did business with Hitler’ story and then they try to ignore the fact that the Clintons ‘do business’ with govts openly hostile to civil rights on a regular basis. She’s laying low for the moment, but will return in full glory to save us from ourselves. Count on it.

    Dr. Rebane. Go ahead and get enraged about Hillary’s e-mails eventually having the same interest as the newspaper lining the birdcage. Election is too far out for the story to have legs. Might as well enjoy your travels and become a happy wanderer.
    To L: Ok, I will play this new game. I must admit I never noticed the close facial resemblance of Walt’s favorite man of the cloth the Most Alustrious Assholiness Reverend Al Sharpton and our next AG, the lovely Loretta Lynch. Hmmmm. I see your point.

    Hillary will be indicted and prosecuted for destruction of those pesky emails as well as accepting money from foreign governments hostile to the USA. Just a little more time. Jeff Pelline can go visit her in the hoosegow and write her plight up for his magazine.

    Hillary is having problems and dems are scrambling. There will be hearins and lawsuits. Lawsuits will be winding there way through the courts for the entire period.
    What is clear is that Pelline hates rural California. It would be so sad to hate where you live and not be able to leave. Don’t know if I ciuld handle that.

    Here is a way Clinton can get elected.
    Obama wants mandatory voting in USA. He says this is a way to counteract big money. I don’t see Congress going for this, I guess you can say and do what you want in your second term. A bad idea in my book. You can’t force people to care about the issues. If you don’t care, stay home.

    Nice…Obummer made another one of his made up fact statements in the CNN piece. “The people who tend not to vote are young, they’re lower income, they’re skewed more heavily towards immigrant groups and minority groups,” Obama said. “There’s a reason why some folks try to keep them away from the polls.”

    Obama speaking about mandatory voting is the ultimate anti-freedom position on America. A person has the complete freedom to vote and when they choose not to that is a position of free choice. I do get his opinion though. If we had mandatory voting the goal is to disenfranchise people who lack color. I think he is a racist bigot.

    Regarding mandatory voting, and recalling the Florida Bush v Gore recount process, a number of ‘progressives’ commenting on the news indicated they thought all undervotes were an error of counting. Of course, everyone casting a ballot intended to vote for someone for President, and the recount had to discover who that vote was intended for. How to enforce mandatory voting? Might I suggest an indelible dye such as is used in third world kleptocracies; it’s useful both to insure the person only voted once, and to point out to any death squads who didn’t vote at all.
    Refusing to vote is as an important a right as the right to cast a vote; that includes both the right not to vote at all or to not vote for a particular office or issue.

    Funny, I’ve been a proponent for mandatory voting for a while now, but I hadn’t heard that Obama supported this idea. Eleven countries have manadotory voting and they sky hasn’t fallen. Also, you only have to cast a ballot, but you do not have to vote for a candidate if you don’t like any of the above (which IMHO would be the biggest vote gettter of all).
    Voting is more than a right, it’s a responsibility. Anything that gets people to pay attention to what is going down in DC would be beneficial to the country as a whole.
    BTW, the “death squads” are running rampant in Luxembourg, Australia where voting is mandatory. NOT!
    PS This is one Democrat who hopes Hillary doesn’t get the nomination. I just couldn’t stand 4 or 8 years of the inevitable political infighting that would come with her in office. Feel the same about Jeb Bush.

    In the corporate world, such a transgression while not technically “illegal”, is also usually against written policy and almost always would meet with severe sanctions or termination. Unfortunately it appears that despite compromised national and global security due to her actions, HRC is able to fall back on the “so what difference does it make” defense to side-step and focus on the upcoming political challenges.

    I guess we could have something similar to the unearned earned tax credit where the low income voter would get a check from the U.S. treasury for voting. They could name it with some phrase that means the opposite of welfare payments so the reciepiants don’t suffer from loss of self respect.
