Any second thoughts about your vote !
 

Honestly, when you look that guy in the the mirror, or gal, do you wish you could change your vote?

I voted for Evan McCollum simply because neither candidate deserved even my attention.

My only regret is that I had no viable candidate for wish to vote for.

Really! We been witnessing a national cry over, people running for safe spaces, destroying property harming people and you have the audacity to ask that question.

Apparently you want a continuation of a socialist program, of social justice warriors who will burn your house down if you don't acknowledge their agenda, and the continuation of the dismantling of this nation piece by piece

My vote went for a major shift in policy direction. Legislation is an ugly undertaking. My hope is that the Republicans don't fall into the same traps as the progressives. some examples Obamacare should not be replaced with another government program. Keep government out of the private health care and insurance business. Abide by the founders belief in the filibuster and avoid using the nuclear option. congress can rule by the purse they do not need to stoop to the low tactics employed by Reid and Pelosi.....

Personal Best Regards:

No no no sorry site would not accept just a No. Maybe yes works?

Very comfortable with my vote

It sounds like you are quite pleased with the GOP plan to end Medicare when you say 'keep government out of insurance business'. Watch HHS nominee Rep Tom Price's confirmation hearing next week to learn all the details of his plan to end Medicare.

I'm very happy with my vote. I am thrilled with the outcome of this election.

Most of us agree that we don't like where the country is today. We may disagree on the direction that we'd like to see it go or the methods used to improve things. What we've been doing for the past sixty years is hiring professional politicians most of whom are lawyers to run the country for us. These are the people who are responsible for where the country is right now. I'm glad that we finally went outside the system and brought in a successful businessman who understands what it's like to have to work in the real world.

It's time to get rid of career politicians and get us back to a government of the people. The original idea for this country was to have regular citizens serve for short times in our government and then return to their civilian businesses of jobs.

We are in the mess that we are in today because we got away from that principle and have allowed professional politicians to take over our government and tilt the playing field so that if you're not part of their crowd it's very difficult to get in.

I'm thrilled to see we finally tossed o the lawyers and professional politicians.

Lawyers and professional politicians abound in Donald Trump's cabinet. It is just more of the same Uncle Sam with just a few different wrinkles here and there.

Hey "Broken Record" Jan - I hope you are the first to lose their Medicare and then you can tell us "I told you so", and we can all say "you were right Jan the man"!
Good luck to you!!

Well, I have to admit .... I wish I could have voted for Trump twice, or maybe even three times. However, you have to realize I'm a former Democrat and that's what I'm used to.

Not I, I wrote in Mitch Daniels. Can't blame this embarrassment on me.

Very happy with my vote

Wouldn't change my vote.

I am satisfied with my vote, and happy that he won. On the other hand, he really didn't need my vote since Hillary was such a pathetic choice on the left. But, most of all I am so happy to see Obie squirm and act like a petulant child, doing what no other president in history has done, act out by attempting to sabotage Trump's administration. Obie is also going to hang around D.C. so that he can interfere every chance he can, making him the scumbag I thought he is.

Yep, I did not vote for Trump in the Primary, but I am glad that I voted for him in the General.

I am happy with my vote, although I'm sorry that she lost. At least I won't have to feel embarrassed when Trump make a fool of himself in the upcoming years. Although the foolishness has started already.

Wow, someone that actually admitted to voting for Hillary in spite of Russian interference. Even though Hillary is a felon waiting for prosecution and execution for treason, someone still admitted to voting for her.

Hey dumb @ss, Obie and the Democrat controlled congress are the ones that stole almost a trillion bucks from Medicare to subsidize ObieCare. Wow, you are still so stupid that you can't understand after everyone has attempted to set you straight, that the Republicans have no intention of getting rid of your socialized Medicare crutch. Personally, I wish they would in my case. It has been nothing but a pain in the rear when dealing with my insurance company. Medicare is the largest rip off, and just another ponzi scheme like Social Security. Congress will never get rid of it because they would be getting rid of their slush fund. I have never used Medicare and never will as long as I have my private insurance.

Wow!

No need for any to change their votes.

Trump has already won, but thanks anyway.

None what so ever.

People Get The Government They Deserve
 

Dear Guest: I can see why you would draw such a conclusion as in my desire to keep my comments to a minimum I did not elaborate
.
First I was only speaking to the issue of what to do with Obamacare. In my view we should return to the platform we had before Obamacare was enacted with a provisio to grandfather certain changes such as the restriction on insurability. However for those new policies/people seeking private health insurance issued after the changes such rules would be applicable.

What then is remaining are those people who cannot afford insurance and/or have pre-existing conditioned. I would agree that a government sponsored solution is the answer. As to medicare people paid into it and I view it as insurance; albeit there is too much abuse. As to medicaid my main concern is the abuse as to eligibility usages need, etc. However there are certainly people with real needs because of disability etc

Prior to Baylor now(Blue Cross) people did not have such a thing as insurance. Baylor created it and it has flourished to where people actually believe it is a right . Unfortunately politicians eager for votes supported this rubbish and now here we are for better or worse. and because it is firmly in place all we can o his manage it wisely

Overall I was mainly speaking to the issue of the lawlessness of the Obama Administration ignoring the Constitution, Congress, etc. Ironically the manner in which the little dictator operated is his undoing. Ergo my comments that I hoped the Republicans do not apply the same tactics. The founders were very prescient and wise in their thinking when creating our Republic. Every president following George Washington has made attempts to break from these rules. People get the government they deserve we must resist these so called short cuts, etc to preserve this Republic

Personal Best Regards:

Nope, we support Trump,

:BigApplause:

Good post.

My vote makes me happy when I look in the mirror.

Do I really think you would admit you were wrong in voting for trump. Your past posts tell me thats impossible.

I pray for people like you, pathetic.

Dave guess you didn't pray hard enough for Hilly,
or even God said no way!!!

I pray for the ignorant like you that are in denial of Hillary's felonious criminal activities. She's a traitor and yet you voted for her. Now, that is what is really considered pathetic and stupid.

Do you really think these morons would admit they made a mistake? Not a chance. They are now stuck trying to explain all of Trump's actions. Ya, it will be fun for us to watch but it will be harmful for the country.

I voted for Mrs Clinton. Your silly comments about being a felon and execution for treason are another example of how Putin influenced you and other low intelligent voters.

I don't feel I made a mistake.

any second thoughts......
 

After submitting a response to a poster this AM, this question remained in the back of my mind.

And I am thinking is single question really relates as to how we respond generally.

Any second thoughts about your vote? Any second thoughts about things you did in the past ( ie) would you live your life differently?

In fact at a program I once attended that very question was posed.

Realistically the fact is you can't go back.

Philosophically I have always tried to do my due diligence when making choices but once made I did not look back.

Psychologically it is simply unhealthy to have lingering regrets.

As I age it becomes increasingly obvious to me that its best to ignore both the past and the future and look only to the present

Personal Best Regards:

You always accuse me of things when I disagree with you, but I read your post and ask these questions...

If you mean what you say, why are your posts almost strictly about the past, never directed to present issues, and ignoring the future.

If I bring up Trumps ridiculous lies of NOW, you react with Clinton's lies of the past or the Clinton Foundation..if I bring up Trumps current positions, whether the wall, the increase in debt, or Medicaire, you react with you feeling he can change the future somehow.

Not sure I get it, but as you say, I gotta get with it and "up my game and aim higher"

I ask this specific because it is in fact a common characteristic. Almost all conversations in this forum or in the news relate to PRESENT Trump words and/or actions. The responses are predictably about PAST Clinton or Obama actions..

If a question is asked about PRESENT Trump policy suggestions it is answered with stories of Clinto/Obama past.

Rocky if you would realize the media you're prescribing to is your real problem not understanding Trump.

Try watching Fox for a few days to get yourself upto speed, did you know you can get it from the horses mouth direct on Twitter, but you likely don't use new tech stuff.

I feel bad for you being kept in the dark about the facts kinda like mushroom.

I certainly understand the differences in media, and often get verbally shouted at for pointing that fact out.

This has nothing to do with media...I certainly do not allow anyone to make up my mind..

I simply submit that lying is lying. He lies..simply said. Gosh, I have pointed that out with many variations of the lie on different networks, from different news sources, etc.,

I am not sure what your post even means, as I was responding to Rubicon about ignoring the past...when you speak if the present in here, you are met most certainly by a post speaking if the past.

Trump is President...when is HE held accountable for lying, both to all Americans and to his followers. How long is the President being defended by a diatribe on Clinton or Obama. When does pointing out the possible ramifications of his actions today, not met with another lecture on Clinton or Obama.

When is he made to confront what he says ?

Who would have thought so many seniors were so unhappy with their Medicare that they would vote to get rid of it.

so what did you see or read that was a lie, and where did you see it.

And don't go back into ancient history

when did congress past that legislation?

Must tell my doctor next week

January 5

"President-elect Donald Trump continued his Twitter tirade against the auto industry on Thursday, slamming Toyota for investing in Mexico but appearing to misstate key details of the company’s operations.

Trump warned the Japanese carmaker over Twitter that it could face hefty fines for building a plant in Baja, Mexico, to sell the popular Corolla sedan to American consumers. But Trump’s tweet looks to be incorrect: Toyota’s factory in Baja assembles Tacoma trucks, according to the automaker. A new plant in Guanajuato, Mexico, will manufacture Corollas.

That factory broke ground in November, and production is expected to begin in 2019. The work is being shifted to the plant from a facility in Canada. In a statement Thursday, Toyota said that there is no change in employment and production in the United States as a result of the new operations."

Donald Trump just threatened Toyota — but it looks like he got the facts wrong - The Washington Post

Not sure what you consider history, but in the last weeks, he lied about his foundation, he lied about "knowing things nobody else knew" and would share, and this is just the few off the top of my head.

As someone who, to my knowledge, has never ever given a link and simply asks for proof of a Trumps idiocy and who always gets it from me..,you have a very short memory, and obviously a narrow mind

I sure hope you see the "irony" in even having to discuss boldface immature lies BY THE WEK, for a President, and him getting defended for lying.

Tells you a lot

There you go again, this is your problem Washington COMPost

Only second to CNN, did Fox report that?
