So naturally they'll vote for his pal Trump.
If you don't understand this, Boch adds, then you're obviously not single like he, well, isn't. Also: Being a rich-guy supporter of Trump gets you out of traffic tickets.

You've got old white delusional Bernie Sanders who wants to tax the country into oblivion and soon to be indicted career politician and elite, Hilary Clinton. If you are one who thinks she did no wrong, remember General Petraeus was prosecuted and forced to resign over similar but FAR less egregious behavior and abuse of classified information...
Look.

I HAVE health insurance and I paid out my full deductible just for basic medications and doctors visits for a chronic condition. No hospitalizations, no crises, just basic stuff. That's about $4000 out of pocket every year and it does nothing to lessen the anxiety of what I'd do if something really bad happened. You think I give a shit about the extra taxes I might pay with a single payer plan? Please.
Well

If you have private insurance

If you have private insurance you're already paying for other people's healthcare in the form of high premiums. I go to the doctor once every 2-3 years for a check up, no problems, no medications, young and healthy, and my insurance just keeps going up and up and up. It's not because I'm the one using it. I'm paying for other people, old people, smokers, drinkers, etc, to all get health care.
If I have to do that either way I'd rather do it through a channel where some dipshit CEO isn't skimming 20% off the top in addition.

Which of her adoring biographers was Hillary f**king? Because it's slipped my mind. And you do realize that the information in the emails was not classified at the time?
Honest to god--I don't even like Hillary that much but the crazy-pants vitriol thrown at her by you loons is beyond belief.
Its that "vast ring wing conspiracy theory"
By ccd

Seriously... So the FBI that has been investigating and therefore perpetuating this scandal? Vitriol? More like the fact she broke the law, lied about it, lied about lying. If this was a republican, I'd be equally angry. This type of behavior should not be tolerated.
And your talking point about the information "not being classified at the time" is flat out wrong. Its been proven false ten times over. Just lazy. Good try though...
"Clinton’s flimsy claim never to have handled e-mails labeled classified imploded recently when an e-mail sent June 17, 2011, became public. That morning, Clinton’s aide Jacob Sullivan informed her that a document could not reach her via a secure fax. No sweat! Clinton replied, “ . . . turn into nonpaper w no identifying heading and send nonsecure.”
So, Clinton knew about these classified markings and, even worse, instructed her staffer to cover them up and forward her that document via a fax machine vulnerable to spies. Clinton’s “gross negligence” may have violated the federal Espionage Act, 18 U.S. Code § 793."
Naw, I don't feel sorry.

Trump is a creation of the party. They own him. He did not just drop out of the blue sky.
The party is as it is because of the beds that many of "old timer republicans" climbed into.
You embrace party crazies to win elections then you have to deal with the crazy, eventually.
With all apologies to your parents. I would not include them in this mix if they like Kasich. Too bad he is not getting much (any?) air time.

I agree with what you are saying.. but I think its more that this party has morphed from the Dole-Era republicans and has been taken over by these tea party crazies. There's still plenty of moderate republicans who are against these crazies that are trying to run the party now.
Hell even Bob Dole himself says the party is not the same as it was years ago. And even some old timer GOPers are joining the Democrats and/or supporting Bernie Sanders.
I agree.

Unfortunately, the more traditional (i.e. sane) and/or moderate republicans are mostly out of the party loop now. What remains to be seen (and this is what makes it so interesting) is to see how the party is further transformed...or not.

Every time I think I've seen the week's most breathtakingly stupid commentary, I get proven wrong. This guy manages to backhandedly insult someone who he supposedly supports ("Well you have to pick ONE guy, and even though they all suck, he sucks the least"), show some pretty appalling misogyny, AND paint himself as the kind of douchebag rich kid that cops don't ticket because his daddy knows the mayor. Congrats, Mr. Boch--I need to buy a new car one of these days, and you've convinced me not to come within a half mile of one of your dealerships when I do.

This didn't make big headlines, but EBJ sold all his Bock dealerships back in October. He's just the pitchman now.
He DID keep the Subaru of New England operation that is the wholesale distributor for every Subaru sold in the 64 dealerships in New England. [Source: NECN]

I believe that Boch imports the cars and sells (wholesales) them to the retailers. Yes I know that Traffic on the Threes is sponsored by your NE Subaru retailers, but I think they are a separate group from the wholesale company.

He only took out a very small loan of $1,000,000 from his father. I'm sure it was the most beautiful and luxurious loan ever taken, but it was "small" by the standards of Tronald Dump.

It would be nice to get a million dollars "starting out" money and I'm sure I probably wouldn't have made it into even more money. Maybe, but not like Trump.
yes, it would very nice
By Malcolm Tucker
Thu, 02/04/2016 - 5:02pm
That's my point: he didn't come from nothing. His father worked hard (and was a bit of a brute while he did it, from what I hear) to create a small fortune. Papa Trump was able to loan his son a million dollars - something that relatively few parents can do, you know - and Sonny Trump built an empire with it. I'm not blind enough in my distaste for Donald Trump to say he's never worked a day in his life: he has, and he's done some smart things with that money.* But to say that he's just a blue-collar boy who pulled himself up by his bootstraps is nuts.
*PLEASE don't take this for an endorsement. I'd rather see a monkey as president.

On a more serious note, that deal that the old man cut to get that Subaru wholesale thing is one of the greatest business deals that I have ever heard of. The do essentially nothing and get a cut of every Subie sold in New England (the Subie capital of America). The old man was a genius.

Poor Ernie. He does not understand that probably none of the women would want to go home with him.
Ernie is a case study in delayed adolescence (among other things) extraordinaire. The fact that he is still talking like a young 20 something single guy on the take/make (when he is pushing 60) is, well, a bit strange.
And the next time I get stopped by the cops, I will throw his name around. Perhaps it will get me out of a traffic ticket.
(Maybe its the hair. Maybe its how the light hits his eyes. But why does he look like a crazy man?)
It's the hair

two thoughts
By Malcolm Tucker
Thu, 02/04/2016 - 1:10pm
1. Is his self-indulgent "music" hobby the reason the songs in all those New England Subaru ads are so fucking awful? My man should iron his hands before he tries to pick up a guitar ever again. Abysmal stuff.
2. If he were ever trying to get me to go home with him at last call, I would glass him.
Music moves him.
By whyaduck
Thu, 02/04/2016 - 1:17pm
As far as I can tell, his music career consists of collecting expensive guitars, strumming the strings with some music hasbin in inane commercials and buying a band to plays gigs with (Ernie and the Automatics: Where Are You Now?)
And what about those creepy cartoons around the holidays with him and his family doing family things? Shudder.
