Would you vote for Donald Trump for President? (460)
Albertaghost: I ask for facts and you provide none. Facts are immune to gender.
Why do you deem my reply's any "more" or "less" factual than you own Al? Are you, your words, protected under some CS privileged poster amendment right? How do you back up opinion with facts?....google your own links hon......do you own research........just as I have done where "The Donald" is concerned...he is a joke, IMO......and you have presented nothing here to make me change my mind......or even consider changing my mind... about his compentency to run for President in 2012......not even close....
One more thing Al...I have watched you split hairs for pages and pages with members who shall remain nameless, but we all know who they are, to no avail other than stagnating a thread...I have told you everything I have gleaned "so far" concerning "The Donald", when I get more, and I'm sure there will be lots more, I will post.......if you have more, other than China, OPEC, and an astute business tycoon, let me know.....
Albertaghost: What it has to do with it is one aspect in which he has a solution compared to the non solutions posed by others.
And please,what experience did Obama have when the main focus of the presidential campaign was the economy? He has flip flopped on every policy he campaigned on and tripled the debt. I would say you need somebody who knows about making money rather than a community organizer who only knows how to spend it.

leigh2154: Why do you deem my reply's any "more" or "less" factual than you own Al?
In your your own words this is a reason why Trump is not a contender for President;
""There is one other thing that bothers me about Trump's appearance....His cupie doll lips make him look like a transvestite wannabe...all those lips lack is a thick coat of cherry red, high gloss, lipstick....He wouldn't even have to invest in a wig, he could just let his LONG comb over fall free and blow in the wind....Ahhhhhhhhhhh, how lovely!!!""
Very factual indeed.
Myself, I provide his known policies which, I would have to surmise have more relevance than cupie doll lips and his doo.

wait till you get rebuffed by a Canadian living in Alberta, Canada, who thinks he knows more than you an American living in the US. I'm sure you've experienced how government is run in the US hence you know how things should be done properly and who can do a good job, not because they are wealthy, not because they are good at running a business.
as you said let's get the CEOs of HASBRO, they sure do know how to make money, Meg Ryan - founder of EBAY, the marketing dept of Kellogg's - there is Corn Flakes in every goddamn country on earth. Running for the presidency of the US is not a popularity contest, I don't think so. I vote for Michael Bloomberg - he has money and experience running a government and a business.Donald - you are fired!
please get together with Ivana, Marla and Melania - us women rule!
I come back from the gym where I have been all morning and I find this is still gong on !!! I love CS

Making money and keeping a company in the black is indicative of proper management. Running a country or company financially into the ground is a sign of mismanagement.
geneva60: Running for the presidency of the US is not a popularity contest, I don't think so.
You seem to think so as does Leigh, what, with referring to how he looks in post after post and citing a poll here on CS which actually proves your contention wrong.
geneva60: I vote for Michael Bloomberg - he has money and experience running a government and a business.
Donald - you are fired!
Donald - you are fired!
I agree. He would make a viable candidate and, his policies are sound in my opinion. If he ran he would be far more palatable - and, in my opinion, far more popular than Trump.
Problem is, he will not be running.

Use force to stop North Korean nuke development
[In a Trump presidency], North Korea would suddenly discover that its worthless promises of civilized behavior would cut no ice. I would let Pyongyang know in no uncertain terms that it can either get out of the nuclear arms race or expect a rebuke similar to the one Ronald Reagan delivered to Ghadhafi in 1986. I don’t think anybody is going to accuse me of tiptoeing through the issues or tap-dancing around them either. Who else in public life has called for a pre-emptive strike on North Korea?

Support Israel, our unsinkable Mideast aircraft carrier
The U.S. must continue to nurture and safeguard our special relationship with the state of Israel. This relationship must remain the cornerstone of our policy tactics through the entire Middle-East region, as it has been for administrations of both parties for more than half a century.
Why do we have this special relationship? It is not out of charity, guilt, or what some call “ethnic lobbies.” We have been there for Israel because Israel is there for us. Israel is a stable democracy in a region filled with dictatorship.
As Israel has matured, our close ties also bring America a fair trading partner and a fellow pioneer on the high-tech frontier of medicine and communications that will enrich Americans’ lives in the coming century. Our two countries must continue to stand strong together as pillars of freedom and progress.

No humanitarian intervention; only to direct threats
My rules of engagement are pretty simple. If we are going to intervene in a conflict it had better pose a direct threat to our interest- one definition of “direct” being a threat so obvious that most Americans will know where the hot spot is on the globe and will quickly understand why we are getting involved. The threat should be so direct that our leaders, including our president, should be able to make the case clearly and concisely, which has certainly not been the case regarding the terrible events in Yugoslavia.
At the same time, we must not get involved in a long-festering conflict for humanitarian reasons. If that’s our standard, we should have troops stationed all over Africa, and much of Asia as well.

In response to: 3% of GNP for military is too low
To tell the enemy we’re not going to invade defies common sense. That lack of confidence may reflect another troubling reality: our diminished military forces. To wage our aerial assault on Yugoslavia we had to call upon US forces from all points of the globe. Why? Because we’re spread too thin. The US last year spent 3% of gross domestic product maintaining our military forces. Compare that with past figures: Defense spending in the last year of the Carter administration came to 4.9% of GDP. During the Reagan buildup it was 6.5%. We are still living off the Reagan military buildup of nearly 20 years ago. The question is: What will we live off ten or fifteen years from now if we do not invest again?
You can’t pursue forward military and foreign-policy objectives on a backward military budget. I’m not advocating that America go forth and police the world. I’m just saying that if we’re going to use our military power abroad, we had better make sure that power is ready to be used.
Source: The America We Deserve, by Donald Trump, p.149 Jul 2, 2000
Missile defense is inappropriate; focus on terrorism
We definitely must find funding for defense, which means somebody is going to come up with less money for their own project. I think the best place to start is by diverting money from the planned missile defense system. I know this sounds almost counterintuitive because a missile defense system is supposed to help us defend against attack by rogue states.
To begin with, I’m not laughing at missile defense, and I never have. The question isn’t whether or not such a defense can be built. The question is whether it is the right defense for our times. And I believe the answer is, largely, no. In this age of miniaturization, our real threat is not going to be flying in on a missile. It’s going to be delivered in a van, or a suitcase, or a fire-hydrant-sized canister.

Prepare for bio-terrorism attack
We need to stockpile antibiotics in major population areas and train emergency workers to respond quickly to biological attack. We need to develop and deploy sensors in major cities that will give us early warning that biological devices have been detonated. Remember, these microbes can take a while to spread, so any warning we have will help to save lives. We need to keep a close eye on former Soviet bio-technicians, offering them jobs where we can and steering them clear of terrorist regimes. Call your congressman. When private citizens start asking about the Joint Statement on Biological Weapons, politicians will know this is an issue they’d better take seriously.
[We should] prepare for the possibility of attack, to avoid total panic in case an attack does occur. Our adversaries understand that if they are able to blindside us they will be much more likely to succeed in blackmailing us.

I don't know who I will vote for in the next presidential election. But, this I do know...it will not be for Obama.
Albertaghost: I ask for facts and you provide none. Facts are immune to gender.
Here's some FACTS for you Al....complete with a link to back them up.....
First and foremost, let me just tell everyone reading, especially you Albert, the 25% tax on imports from China was NOT Trump's idea...I guess you could say he plagiarized it.....
This from an article posted on March 19, 2010, one year and one month ago.....
New legislation has been introduced in the US Senate.....lawmakers are pushing the government to slap a 25% import tax on all imports from China.......
On a more serious note, just what effect would the 25% tax have?...
It will unleash a trade war...
It will "force" the Chinese to raise the value of their currency.....
What will this accomplish?
Strengthening the Yuan would help US exports and reduce imports, but the import tax would increase the price of Chinese products purchased in the US by almost the same amount...US consumers would suffer a big cut in purchasing power, especially since many of the Chinese products we import have no, or very few, alternatives.....The extra money US consumers will have to use to purchase the more expensive Chinese products will be taken from "not" buying other products which consumers will no longer be able to afford, this decline in sales will ultimately result in job cutbacks, the last thing America needs.....
The import tax would not in any way induce China to import more from the US and would almost certainly result in a reciprocal tax on US products, if not an outright ban.....
Check out the link, there is more about the effects of the 25% tax that Al is so hot for........all negative......

Hi Leigh. Never said it was his idea but rather, his policy.
As for the adverse effects, in a world that remained stagnant with no moving parts that may be the case but when you mix oil, China's need for same, his strategies on Iraq and the pressure he wishes to place on OPEC, this would not be the case.
Glad to see you are actually cracking a book for a change though and, have actually moved beyond his hairdoo.

As for the 'long winded nonsense' they are the policies of Trump. You know, the ones you say don't exist. And reading something you pretend does not exist would be a chore I agree but, changes nothing and proves you are not informed.

Donald Trump
Love him or hate him, Trump is a man who is certain about what he wants and sets out to get it, no holds barred. Women find his power almost as much of a turn-on as his money.
Donald Trump
Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

I mean, there's no arguing. There is no anything. There is no beating around the bush. "You're fired" is a very strong term.
Donald Trump
I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.
Donald Trump
I wasn't satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement.

If you're interested in 'balancing' work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead make your work more pleasurable.
Donald Trump
Love him or hate him, Trump is a man who is certain about what he wants and sets out to get it, no holds barred. Women find his power almost as much of a turn-on as his money.
Donald Trump
Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.
Donald Trump
Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that's more productive.
Donald Trump
Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.
Donald Trump
The point is that you can't be too greedy.
Donald Trump
Well, yes, I've fired a lot of people. Generally I like other people to fire, because it's always a lousy task. But I have fired many people.
Donald Trump
What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.
Donald Trump
When somebody challenges you, fight back. Be brutal, be tough.
Donald Trump
With out passion you dont have energy, with out energy you have nothing.
Donald Trump
You have to think anyway, so why not think big?
Donald Trump
In the end, you're measured not by how much you undertake but by what you finally accomplish.

As for the 'long winded nonsense' they are the policies of Trump. You know, the ones you say don't exist. And reading something you pretend does not exist would be a chore I agree but, changes nothing and proves you are not informed.

DON'T address me. I am a non entity, uninformed, so why do want to respond to someone as stupid and UNINFORMED, useless as me? LEAVE me alone.
Others have posted here and pronounced their dislike for Trump. I don't see you responding to their posts!
LEAVE me alone, I want to remain UNINFORMED. I am very happy and proud of it. Find something better to do with your time.

Trump on tax reform
* Repeal the inheritance tax to offset one-time wealth tax. (Jul 2000)
* Simplify tax code; end marriage penalty & other hidden taxes. (Jul 2000)
* Opposes flat tax; benefits wealthy too much. (Jul 2000)
* Personally avoids sales tax, but knows many people like it. (Dec 1999)
* One-time 14.25% tax on wealth, to erase national debt. (Nov 1999)
* Tax assets over $10 million, paid over 10 years. (Nov 1999)

In response to: Repeal the inheritance tax to offset one-time wealth tax
I would impose a one-time, 14.25% tax on individuals and trusts with a net worth over $10 million. For individuals, net worth would be calculated minus the value of their principal residence. That would raise $5.7 trillion in new revenue, which we would use to pay off the entire national debt [and shore up the Social Security Trust Fund].
My proposal would also allow us to entirely repeal the 55% federal inheritance tax. The inheritance tax is a particularly lousy tax because it can often be a double tax. If you put the money into trust for your children, you pay the inheritance tax upon your death. When the trust matures and your children go to use it, they’re taxed again. It’s the worst.
Some will say that my plan is unfair to the extremely wealthy. I say it is only reasonable to shift the burden to those most able to pay. The wealthy actually would not suffer severe repercussions. The 14.25% net-wroth tax would be offset by repeal of the 55% inheritance-tax liability.

Simplify tax code; end marriage penalty & other hidden taxes
* Let me sum up what is wrong with the tax code. Its complexity bleeds off billions of productive hours.
* Tax rates are too high.
* Hidden taxes take even more.
* High property taxes punish people for improving their property.
* Our code discriminates against married people.
* The complexity of the tax code allows too much government intrusion into our lives.
* The tax code is liable to change overnight in ways that could jeopardize your plans for a small business or retirement.

Opposes flat tax; benefits wealthy too much
* I object to the flat tax:It is unfair to the poor; eliminating the Earned Income Tax Credit taxpayers at the lowest rungs of the ladder.
* It is unfair to workers by taxing them for health insurance and other benefits.
* Only the wealthy would reap a windfall, because a flat tax would allow them to cash in interest payments and capital gains without paying personal income taxes.
* I don’t believe that a flat tax could raise enough revenue to keep the government operating.

Personally avoids sales tax, but knows many people like it
Asked to discuss the idea of a national sales tax, Trump responded: “How do I feel about sales tax? I try to avoid paying it whenever possible. But the idea is an idea that a lot of people like very much.”

One-time 14.25% tax on wealth, to erase national debt
Trump wants to soak the rich, including himself. He proposed a 14.25% tax yesterday on the net worth of wealthy Americans.

* Use the savings to save Social Security and slash taxes for the middle class
* Increase his personal tax bill by at least $725 million.

Tax assets over $10 million, paid over 10 years
Trump proposed a 14.25% tax on the net worth of wealthy Americans. People and trusts valued at more than $10 million would be subject to the new tax.

Then Palin,with her muscular tanned thighs, sharp feline features ready to ride a sensual phallic symbol of fertility must be an obvious choice for leader of the free world.
Ghad, this is how you pick a leader?
Nope, I can appreciate Sarah's obvious beauty...but as a"viable candidate"...NO WAY!!
Plus babe, I have not made a choice yet...I have narrowed it down to three or four of the dozen or so names being tossed around..if you wish, I can tell you the ones I like.....
