Because Jill Stein can get very little done and will never be President. We have to be practical and a 3rd party candidate is just a lost cause.

Tell us something we don't know Thom. The fact is the only viable source of energy that doesn't impact CO2 levels is nuclear energy, but not the present technology that was engineered to create bombs, is horrifically fuel inefficient and yes somewhat unsafe with regards to spent fuel disposal. There is a nuclear tchnology. Liquid Flourine Thorium Reactor (LFTR), that is safe, fuel efficient and deployable sooner that most other technologies. Unfortunately, due to the fear mongering over the small risk of, dare I say it, RADIOACTIVITY, by the miss-informed naysayers, include yourself in that category, LFTR technology is being swept under the rug. Just a little objective research by yourself and those obsessed with finding ways to not act, we know who they are, should convince you as I am convinced, that LFTR technology can be a significant game changer in providing long term bulk energy production that will significantly reduce the use of fossil fuels, We must encourage the energy industry to buy into finding ways of making LFTR and all the other alternative sources work rather than wasting time on prolonging fossil fuels until there are no longer any left. If the oil and gas companies threw their weight behind developing solutions that don't involve fossil fuels the world will be a much better place. One strong encouragement would for the US to become a corporate tax haven, eliminating taxes on corporate profits that, as you surely realize, are paid by the consumer. It is time the lie of corporations paying their "fair share" is exposed for the scam that it is and that we understand that corporate taxes are ultimately paid by the public. Imagine the benefit to our economy if we could repatriate the TRILLIONS of dollars corporations have shipped offshore and to find other ways to curb the greed of wealthy individuals that do nothing to return their wealth to the economic health and welfare of America. We must put "middle" back in the "middle class" if America is to survive in the long term.

I find it interesting that so many people complain about the responsibility for climate change resting with the fossil fuel industry then get in their car and drive 5 miles to the store. Or 15 miles to work. In the winter they turn the heat up to 72 or blast air conditioning 24/7 in the warmer months. You're feeding the dragon. Google 'reduce carbon footprint' and take some personal responsibility. But most won't because it's easier to be lazy.

Thom's reply to Glenn Beck might be WHAT?

When are people going to realize that Trump is a PSYCHOPATH?!? If 'We The People' give him control of our nuclear arsenal, we deserve what we get.

Pillory-ize The Donald:

{,,, a rhyme and an image …}

She disappoints as a Centrist merely, -

- yet even tho’ our option is Hillary

it’s America’s case quite clearly

that Donald Trump we must pillory

lest our future stumble drearily

or worse: - that it flame-then smoke

as we suffer from Trump’s bad joke.

============================

Ken Griffin is also the biggest supporter of Governor Bruce Rauner of Illinois who is our Scott Walker.
Johnnie Dohrman, Clinton has only learned how to better to get away with her crimes and wipe her fingerprints off the bodies.

Seeing the current polls I'm truly frightened that a Trump presidency is a very real possibility. The Dems in their blind lust to get Hillary elected they might have just dammed this country to decades and perhaps centuries of misery oppression ever growing poverty and perhaps even war given the emotional instability and immaturity of Trump.

Agreement here with “Elizabeth42”: - Your “Rumble” segments’ Rightists way-too-often subtract from your show’s value. {I’ve written you before, that I fast-forward to by-pass your “Rumblers”.}

I'll NEVER UNDERSTAND this kind of GREED and SELFISHNESS! What is it with these thugs, that enough is NEVER ENOUGH!

It's WHY we must clean house in Washington, in the House and Senate, because its because many of them have APPROVED this kind of LOOTING of the Working People!

And I'm very afraid, that Hillary Clinton is in bed, with these Thugs whom run and control Wall St, the President, the House and Senate! It's because of BILL CLINTON, why Wall St has run amok .... by he KILLING OFF GLASS STEAGALL!

THIS IS ALL BILL CLINTON'S FAULT, and WHY anyone would want the Clinton's back in the White House, after ALL the DAMAGE they have done to the American Worker's, is just MIND BOGGLING!

Further evidence of the myriad benefits to the human brain by exposure and participation in the various arts.

Yet for the last thirty-five years or so, budget-slashing Republicans have been taking this away from our children and test scores are going down so that we have dreck like NCLB on us.

Coincidence? Or part of Pres. Ronnie's "Let's-defund-public-education-to-create-generations-of -Americans-stupid-enough-to-vote-GOP" pogrom?

But then we're talking about those who view compropmise thusly:

Can I burn down your house?
No.
Just the second floor?
No.
Garage?
No.
Let's talk about what I can burn down.
No.
You're not compromising!!

Wotta nyse buncha guize.

Thom, I have been a 'fan' of yours since you moderated on CompuServe, but tonight I was appalled by your "rumble". There was no discussion, there was just vitriol and yelling. The woman, Crystal Wright, was just totally out of line and diverting the discussion to her own agenda and I found it repulsive. She wasn't being an assertive woman, which I respect - she was being just nasty. I quit watching this type of television back when CNN had the most repulsive show on Television that seemed to initiate the practice of disrespect and yelling over others to make points that simply could never be heard or understood or even appreciated because they were made with such bad manners. PLEASE don't continue this way. It isn't civilized.
