As much as Stein despises Trump — and she really, really does — she describes the choice between him and Hillary Clinton as an abominable binary offering “death by gunshot or death by strangulation.”
But her contempt has a more cutting quality when she talks about Clinton. She mocks Trump as braying menace; Stein thinks he’s, at heart, a bumbler who would be neutered by his own party after being elected. But it’s Clinton who poses the greater threat, in Stein’s estimation, because she knows how to move the levers of Washington.
“Donald Trump, I think, will have a lot of trouble moving things through Congress,” Stein explains. “Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, won’t. … Hillary has the potential to do a whole lot more damage, get us into more wars faster, to pass her fracking disastrous climate program, much more easily than Donald Trump could do his.”
Gee I wonder why people claim that Stein has a screw loose?
Oh, because she does.
Don't believe me? The check out what she says about Bernie:
“I’ve tried to talk with Bernie, but, you know, Bernie is — he is a team player,” she said, lamenting his refusal to even chat with her. “I think he’s on the wrong team, perhaps because he’s been in Washington, D.C., too long, because he used to really understand independent politics and why we cannot have a viable political system unless we have independent political parties. … Maybe it’s a generational thing.”
So not only has he been corrupted by Washington, but he is also too old.
Is there anybody this lunatic didn't just take a giant shit on?
And that my friends is the end of that campaign.
Poor little Jilly,
ReplyDeleteShe's very silly.
So jealous of Hilly,
She'll never be really
smart.
Poor little Jill,
DeleteShe wants to be Hill,
Can't even catch the eye of Bill,
Poor little Jill.
She can't find Cincy!
DeleteShe makes me wince-y.
She's sorta Pence-y:

DeleteThis a post about Jill Stein, 6:19 PM.
DeleteSome are not as Palin obsessed as you are.
Hey 7:05-how about you let Gryphen police his blog. You don't have to respond to every post, especially if the comment displeases you.
DeleteWhy do people like Stein who always complain about D.C. want to get elected to a job in D.C? Then if they do--they want to get re-elected? You know, then have their job for twenty or so plus years so someone else can complain that they've been in DC too long.
ReplyDeleteShe's never even been elected for anything like even state senator or Congress! She's unelectable.
DeleteNo one gets into politics for anything other than to feed their ego and enrich their wallet. It's the problem with our system, decent people never run, they are too smart and too humble, so we're left to vote for the least offensive person.
DeleteTo enter the political arena and put yourself out there to be voted in or ignominiously voted out, you need to have a pretty strong sense of self. Yes, there are a few who see it as a way to make a steady income, but more often than not, a budding politician has been persuaded by others to run -- usually based on his/her public service, or volunteer activities. After listening to an NPR interview with Stein several weeks ago, I concluded that she is really in the race for self-aggrandizement. She didn't have well-thought-out answers to many questions, and I didn't get the impression that she really cared about any of her policies. Very weak, very uninspiring (and I'm comparing her to Canada's Green Party leader Elizabeth May). And now I've lost all respect for her because of this most recent interview. Get off the political stage, Jill -- you don't belong there.
DeleteWhy do Republicans who want to abolish big Government want to be part of it and make it even bigger?
Delete7:26 PM - remember Joni Ernst? She said what she had to in order to get her foot in the door, then did a total 180.
DeleteListening to Jill Stein reminds me of 'I am not a witch' nut job (endorsed by ol' Sara(h) Pee in the early days of quitter queendom).

Old Jill is not getting much traction in her bid for the President of the United States. And I think that bodes well for the country. The woman is a complete loon.
ReplyDeleteHer vp pick is even loonier. Neither of them have any comprehension of how government works.
DeleteA friend who's a doctor in Boston says she's absolutely off the charts crazy.
ReplyDeleteTotally believe it. You can see it in her eyes.
DeleteI'll bet she's sorry that Putin isn't running.
ReplyDeleteStein is as loony as that 'Frozen' women you have on your left blog roll on a much bigger stage. She 'fights' battles that exist only in her mind. She is lost in a world of crippling egotism and victimization. Mental illness is a terrible thing.
ReplyDeleteThey are both completely nuts.
DeleteAnyone that would vote for her is a half baked whacko.
ReplyDeleteI went to high school with Stein. She was a year older than me. My one claim to political fame, as it were.
ReplyDeleteSpill, Gammy, Spill!
DeleteClaim to fame or claim to infamy?
DeleteDid she inhale?
DeleteI'm thinking power bong!
DeleteShe lost me when she started talking as an anti-vaxer.
ReplyDeleteDid she? Are you sure?
Deletehttp://www.snopes.com/is-green-party-candidate-jill-stein-anti-vaccine/
This woman is Sarah Palin in 16 years
ReplyDeleteThis woman is Batshit crazy.Plus she is a bitch.She has an irrational hatred of HRC.Look up some of her beliefs anti vax wifi is dangerous etc. Plus she showed up in the wrong city for a rally LOL. There is not enough tin foil to make a hat for this crazy women. She is an enormous waste of an Ive League education.
ReplyDeleteAnd you'd push stuff right through Congress, Jill? Like heck she would. I am all FOR green energy but, face it, that kind of change will have to come from the major parties, and it's not going to happen in my lifetime (turning 59 next week).
ReplyDeleteI am in the agreement of many that it's already too late. We should have gone this way years ago.
Jimmy Carter tried pushing green energy with White House solar roof panels. Ronnie Reagan had them removed.

I'll vote Democratic, for Hillary, though I'll be taking a barf bag with me into the voting booth. Stein is spot-on about Hillary, as well as Trump and Sanders, who is a perfect example of why we need term limits.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for voting for Hillary. I don't agree about HRC, but to each her/his own!
DeleteGood lord. She is totally wrong about Hillary. And so are you. And frankly, Hillary did not wear out her welcome as a Senator, and Stein has never held any office at all. Nor has The Donald.
DeleteSince you are voting Democratic, you are as delusional as Stein.
DeleteAnonymous6:54 PM here. Meant to say NOT as delusional as Stein
DeleteI've been saying for months that Jill Stein is the left's Trump.
ReplyDeleteShe is an egomaniac. She's totally inexperienced, naive, and has laughable plans for governance which are rooted in authoritarian ideals and imposing her will on others.
No wonder she thinks Donnie isn't so bad. They're peas in the same batshit, terrifying pod.
You summed it up perfectly.
Delete4:45 pm.
Don't give her to us..she is not a liberal..she wants to kill children by forcing parents NOT to vaccinate.
DeleteShe's not on the ballot here in NC. Don't know why but I'm not complaining.
ReplyDeleteI used to be a Green Party supporter, but they just keep cutting off their noses despite their faces. This kind of thinking - that Mrs. Clinton would be more likely to get us into a war than Mr. Trump - shows that Stein has no clear understanding international politics, much less domestic.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding!
Delete+1. Gee, Jill, one Q: who had dinner with Putin in January 2016?
DeleteA: Not Hillary! It was precious cray-cray Jill Stein.
FYI: The expression is "to cut off one's nose to spite one's face." Despite one's face makes no sense.
DeleteNo one is jealous of robot Hillary. But I do wish Gary would get more attention. He is actually a good candidate.
ReplyDeleteDidn't "what's Aleppo?" Gary get enough attention, for all the wrong reasons? If a candidate has no grasp of current global events, a la palin, that should be an
Deleteautomatic disqualification.
If this is the product of "dumbing down" in the U.S., God help us all!!
Aw, poor Gary is not able to even know where or what Aleppo is, but go ahead, vote for him. (eyeroll.) Has he put down the bong yet?
DeleteSorry, no. He totally screwed up two different things over the weekend. He's not very intelligent.
DeleteTo paraphrase, "That man is an idiot!"
DeleteAs a New Mexican for 50 years, I will vote for Gary Johnson. He was an intelligent, responsible governor and I prefer him over either of the other two options.
DeleteIf he doesn't know what Aleppo and didn't know there were injuries in New York, he is not ready for prime.
DeleteState before country - that's the spirit, @5:58! /s
DeleteHow about I vote for a man I actually have faith in as a leader @7:20?
DeleteCountry before genitals (or, why I refuse to vote for Hillary just because she has a vagina).
One citizen, one vote, 8:11 PM. Mine cancels yours, and why this country is still democracy on a thread as long as we have it! Not meant as a slam.
Delete4:55, have you actually read the Libertarian party platform? Everyone who thinks Johnson is a viable choice just because he doesn't have a problem with marijuana legalization should read it. The Libertarian party is nothing more than a corporate front group. It's literally survival of the fittest, which to them means the richest.
DeleteWord for Word, are just what the trolls are saying on facebook. She is also funded by Putin.
ReplyDeleteShe is entirely off her rocker. Or maybe she needs to retire to a rocker. I am horrified by her hubris. She is way off base in her assessments of the candidates. So, is she implying in her milquetoast take on Trump that he will be a puppet for the GOP? Good grief.
ReplyDeleteToday, Preibus said himself that former candidates that do not come out in support of him will face serious issues in 2020 and 2024. Sounds like a threat to me!
DeletePreibus is fixin to have Chris Christie sit on some faces!
DeleteShe has been on the Green Party ballot for years. If she really wanted to make "waves" she would have spent more of her time working within the system as a public servant rather than a criticizing.
ReplyDeleteJill Stein is a C*NT.
ReplyDeleteGENDER INSULTS COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR AND INAPPROPRIATE, NO MATTER WHAT SIDE OF THE POLITICAL DIVIDE YOU ARE ON.
DeleteThat's not a gender-specific insult. Men are often called cunts too. It's quite a popular but often good-natured insult in Britain, against both sexes equally.
DeleteToad is definitely a cunt imo.
DeleteAs is any man who beats on his fiancee. Whether or not he's drunk and/or armed when he does it!

DeleteNo, that would depend. In America they are put inside regardless, but in the UK they can go in or outside, depending on context.
"...people in different countries also follow different rules, so you may see quotation marks handled differently in high-quality publications from different countries."
In this case I would question if those are actual quotation marks or indications of a title, since underlining or italics aren't always possible in blogs. If it were a true quotation, you'd have double quotes at the front and double quotes after that period which would be either before or after the single quote indicating a title depending on the country of useage.
http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/how-to-use-quotation-marks
"Single quotation marks are valid only within a quotation, as per Rule 7, above.".
As I said above, these single quotes aren't being used to indicate sarcasm but the title of something.

ReplyDeleteThat no one will watch.
DeleteAppropriate that she's following Lochte, isn't it?
I am watching...
DeleteMatch Game? Like the old-timer game show?
DeleteWTF!?
Deletegoogling!
Stein is a female Ben Carson.
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteWhy is she always rolling her tongue around and making faces?
ReplyDeleteThorazine, makes you do really weird stuff with your face.
DeleteSo what? Who cares? She doesn't even register on the radar.
ReplyDelete"What's Aleppo" Johnson has a better chance at getting 1 electoral vote. I think he has 3% of the vote now and that's way more than her.
I think Sarah Palin should go on the in next season of DWTS. What a laugh that would be!

Colbert did an excellent job of skewering Deplorable Don the Con tonight and nothing Don can sue him on.
DeleteColbert called him a liar three times by using Trump's own words twice and the last time the audience shouted it out. Colbert never once called Don a liar but he set the entire thing up to make it plain that is exactly what Donald is. It was about the whole birther thing, claiming he stopped in 2008 (lie), that Hillary started it (lie) and that he finished it (lie). It was masterly.
He also had Frederick the Great, the world's most beautiful horse.
These third party people....bern, stein, Johnson...they are not helping at all. They are the radical left.
ReplyDeleteAnother palinesque lunatic.
ReplyDeleteAnd we should care what someone polling at 1% says why exactly?
ReplyDeleteSomebody should have a word with Bernie, stein and Johnson. About time for them to campaign for Hillary and drop out. A landslide.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's that simple. A LOT going on behind the scenes that we are not privy to and the media refuses to investigate.
DeleteI do believe that Bernie "dropped out' of the race when he lost the primary.
DeleteBernie is already campaigning for Hillary. He's working on getting her the youth vote, a constituency where he has strong support.
DeleteHaven't you been paying attention?
Or just can't resist a little bashing?
So basically you think it would be appropriate to force legitimate candidates out of the running, with millions of supporters, to vote for the candidate that is propped up instead by the machine.
DeleteI'm curious if you have any understanding of what this country (is supposed to) stands for?
Anonymous11:42 PM
DeleteHRC is "propped up" by her intelligence, her experience, her talents and her party that she has helped build over the last 30 years. What ahs Stein accomplished?
Hillary should take one or two important issues for those voters of stein and johnson. Pipeline and Native American voice. Citizen United for Bernie voters, and maybe decriminalize pot for the Johnson's. Offer each cabinet positions.
ReplyDeleteOffer each cabinet positions? WTF NOOOO!
DeleteThis is what goes on behind the scenes. Deals. Look at lobbyists in Congress. Line their pockets; they'll vote in your favor!
DeleteWe're all sitting ducks.

Ralph Nader was similar in 2000. He said that he was running against both candidates, but spent most of his time attacking Gore not Bush, and campaigning in light blue states so that Gore had to spend time shoring up states like Minnesota and Oregon rather than focus on the tossup states.
ReplyDeleteH.W. Bush is outed as going to vote for Hillary.
ReplyDelete"Bush, 92, had intended to stay silent on the White House race between Clinton and Donald Trump, a sign in and of itself of his distaste for the GOP nominee. But his preference for the wife of his own successor, President Bill Clinton, nonetheless became known to a wider audience thanks to Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, the former Maryland lieutenant governor and daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy."

Who's really to blame if she loses? Only herself and the DNC.
No. I'd blame arrogant purists. But she's going to win. History will be made. Watch.
DeleteNo, it's people like you who never take responsibility for anything
DeleteJesus, what an embarrassing blog. Trump will indeed have a difficult time moving along many of the promises he ran on. That's readily apparent to anyone with even a basic understanding of how our system works. You think he'll have Roe v Wade overturned, for instance? Talk to any capable attorney. It's next to impossible, realistically. The man is a jackass, and will most likely redefine the idea of a lame-duck president. On the other hand, Clinton has some truly horrific ideas that she most definitely would have navigated into law. Defining corporations as people, expanded fracking, deregulating what drug companies can charge, which is already a wild west market... The list goes on. So yes, in many ways, assuming you are a liberal, Clinton would be capable of far more damage than Trump. Your whole attack on Stein just reeks of someone without a basic understanding of how government works. She's crazy? For pointing out what any reasonable liberal voter has known forever? You Clintonbots are ridiculous. Now I'm sure you're out protesting the electoral college, since you clearly never sat through a basic civics class...
