Colin Powell had a personal email account when he was Secretary of State. But Pris . . . I like a Republican! His name is Larry Hogan, Maryland's newly elected Governor.

LOL I never listen to bad stuff about Ronald Reagan. It is a character flaw of mine perhaps. But then he did win the "cold war". Now where were we ladies.....Oh yeah...
“Mom and pop” (small companies) are good. I think most of us would agree. But why is it when private companies grow and become large conglomerates liberals suspect them as now more likely to engage with evil intent?
But as the Federal government similarly gets larger and larger liberal's mistrust never seems to grow?
To me, I somewhat agree with liberals. As a bureaucracy grows, as money and power grow, the likelihood of inappropriate behavior does become more likely.
But where I disagree with liberals is that they never question the biggest bureaucracy in the USA, the Federal Government.
“Mom and pop” (small, local) governance is for me and that is why I am a conservative.
But, they are very different kettles of fish and not at all comparable when you get right down to the crux of what large conglomerates are up to..... and the crux of the matter is that the head of conglomerates is usually one person.
Rupert Murdoch is a good example, at his age, and with his wealth, does he really need to go out and earn a few more pennies?
Not on your puff.
He is there for the power, and he measures that, by looking at his value.
Now, if you could measure the level of his corruption................
I don't know any liberals who think the government isn't corrupt.
But it's true... it's usually one person (or a handful) behind all the big companies. They are the ones who push to make all the big decisions for us, and they are the ones who pay the politicians.
We need the money of these large companies out of politics, that is what I think. No more paying off our politicians! No more letting greedy companies control our government officials.
We do know where politicians receive their donations from usually, at least, I have read lists in the past for various politicians, but I haven't been keeping up with it. What does us knowing about where they get their money from really do? We need to take action, and take away the ability for politicians to be funded as such.
I don't think they should be able to take money from any large groups. I don't like politicians being bought and paid for. They can quickly change their stance if someone backing them financially tells them to, and that is just plain wrong. They are no longer serving "the people", they are serving corporations and whoever is rich enough to have the biggest say.
Regardless how you feel about HRC (Hillary), what the heck was the State Department’s IT group doing?
Did no one know she had set up her own server in her basement? (If your intent weren’t to hide emails, what other reasons would you not avail yourself of the State Department’s encryption capability?)
If they did know, did they inform anyone? If so, who? How high up? If not, why not? (Jeepers I’m not even a journalist!)
Or were these the same IT folks who set up the Obamacare website? You really want such incompetent government people running the internet?
My bet is that China’s already hacked Hillary’s server and is reading “sensitive” US information. But then with her lack of success as State Secretary, hacking probably doesn't matter much.
Yes, Pris... I want term limits for Congress and the Surpreme Court so badly LOL we end up having all these "outdated" people up there after a while. Times change, and we need to change out our people more often to keep up with the changes.
Unfortunately, I don't think we'll have much of a choice as far as no more Clinton/Bush. I think our top picks are Clinton and Bush lol no matter what wrongs they have committed, they are likely to be the final picks. I guess we'll have to wait another two elections, right?

I support term limits as well. And Pris, did you see that I called you a Grrrrrrratarian? I love your Grrrrrrrs, even though a bunch of them are aimed at me.
As a political force the Royal family have not very much to say.
The aristocracy is in parliaments "second house" the house of Lords. This house is made up of lords, ladies, knights bishops etc
Some of these guys are hereditary peers, so inbreeding has always been a bit of a problem. But because your family were popular with the royal family in the 16th century, is that qualification that 500 years later, you should be helping to run the country?
So Hillary is forced to give a press conference to lapdog UN reporters. After listening to her boring comments, I think I’d have more respect for her if she had just come out and told the truth.
I mean there is absolutely no defense to what she did. She did it to evade accountability, at great risk to national security, and everyone understands it.
Bill was at least a good liar. My advice Hillary, just tell the truth and say something like….well what you said about Benghazi. “What difference does it make now?”
At least then I’d feel you didn’t think me a half-wit.
She can't!
Unfortunately the truth is disrespected world wide.
Ask Jimmie Carter who labeled Israel the real opponent to peace in the ME.
Show me a truthful politician, and I'll show you a person in the line of unemployment.
Clinton has way more baggage than those stupid emails.
Peace!
