Or instead of wasting time bashing and trying to think of silly bumper stickers that insult a candidate...maybe you could find a candidate you like and support them?
Or, just continue doing what the Republican party has brainwashed you to do...hate the other candidate so much that you will vote for whoever they are running just so "X" won't win.
That's what happened with Obama...both times. No one really liked McCain or Romney...but the Republican party bred so much HATE for Obama that the vote was AGAINST Obama...not for McCain or Romney.
And it looks like they will be using the same tactic this time. Breed hatred for Hillary...so that you will vote for anyone they put up because "HELL NO" to Hillary....right?

Actually, I could care less about the republican AND the democratic party. I could have targeted any candidate, they're all the same, but Hillary is just sooo easy.

here at the 50 sec mark.
I took the initiative in creating the internet.
sounds like he taking credit for it to me.
Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf (the latter often referred to as the "father of the Internet") in 2000 noted that "Al Gore was the first political leader to recognize the importance of the Internet and to promote and support its development" and that "No other elected official, to our knowledge, has made a greater contribution [to the Internet] over a longer period of time":

Just to defend reality here...I am no particular fan of Al Gore..
He said (Clumsily) that he "Took the initiative in creating the internet"
NOT that he invented it...
And that claim is supported by those that actually DID create the internet...
