Bernie Sanders. He is the only congressional member in office whose name does not have a dreadful R or D attached to it.
Well you are correct he is not a Republican or a Democrat, he is listed as a Independent but in all fairness shouldn't he be listed as Bernie Sanders (S)where S=Socialist?

[QUOTE="esmith, post: 4228043, member: 24621" Are you really sure you want someone with this type of character flaw as your President? I sure don't.[/QUOTE]
You plan on most likely voting Republican then? If you're thinking about it doing so, which of the potential candidates do you think doesn't have a "character flaw", as you call it?

Not sure what party candidate I will be voting for. Haven't heard enough from any of them. I do know one thing it will not be for Hillary.

So, you planning on probably voting Republican, can I assume from this? So, which candidate would you like to see, and is (s)he free of any "character flaws"?

BTW, a while back you said you really aren't a Republican, but now it appears that you are, so maybe you can explain this discrepancy while you're at it? :p

Depends on the Libertarian candidate and their platform and objectives. Would prefer a Ross Perot style candidate. I will be honest with you, if I do not see a candidate that has a platform or objectives I agree with I would have to take the lesser of two evils and that would not be Hillary.

Any American who feels he has discharged his civic obligations by voting for a puppet every four years needs to take a civics class (but not in a government-run school). More important are the elections every 2 years for Congress, and more important still are acts of letter-writing every month to Congressmen, and especially to bureaucrats when they open the door to public opinion before passing dictatorial regulations. A letter or phone call is viewed by politicians as carrying the weight of six times as many voters.

I actually liked Perot and thought about voting for him, and I especially agreed with his projection that passing NAFTA would create a "giant sucking sound" of businesses moving out of this country-- and he was correct. So, if you also agreed with him, then I'm afraid you're not likely to vote Republican because I see not one of their potential candidates that has been inclined to roll back NAFTA or GATT, and most appear to be for the PTA as far as I can tell.

Given that Ross Perot started up possibly the most unethical software services company in the world, I found his moralizing distasteful in the extreme. I will declare a conflict of interest here: were it not for EDS's lying & lack of any kind of moral standards, I'd be a wealthy sort of chap. It might have been more tolerable if they were competent, but sadly he built a multi-billion empire around getting others to pay for their inability to write working software, combined with a very good legal department.

Ya, and I didn't vote for him, but he was correct about the "great sucking sound" of jobs leaving the U.S. because of NAFTA.

The AP is reporting that Hillary Clinton's server had emails classified emails ranked higher than Top Secret.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...-beyond-top-secret/ar-BBorhZI?ocid=spartandhp

From the article:

'McCullough sent the letter in response to inquiries from congressional committees.

"To date, I have received two sworn declarations from one (intelligence community) element," the letter said. "These declarations cover several dozen emails containing classified information determined by the IC element to be at the confidential, secret and top secret/sap levels."

Intelligence officials say that special access programs are more classified than just top secret because they are about highly sensitive programs and could reveal sources of information.'

I feel the same way, Breitfart is claiming the actual server was in her house, which is not true and stupid for anyone to believe. The Wapo piece stated that the server was registered to the clinton address. There's a difference esmith..
care to refute the above statement???? I doubt it.
from: https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/factsheets/2015/07/13/email-facts/
Where was the server for her email located?

The server for her email was physically located on her property, which is protected by U.S. Secret Service.

It was on the property. Are you willing to concede that what she did was legal?
As far as concede the answer is no. That is what the FBI is investigating and what the DOJ will do with their report.
As far as part of your response you supplied this:
Was it allowed?

Yes. The laws, regulations, and State Department policy in place during her tenure permitted her to use a non-government email for work.
I am assuming that you copied and pasted that from https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/factsheets/2015/07/13/email-facts/
I suggest you reference the source of a article when you quote it. Something about legality?
However the State Department disagrees with the Hillary explanation.
http://www.factcheck.org/2016/05/ig-report-on-clintons-emails/
The IG report cited department policies dating to 2005 that require “normal day-to-day operations” to be conducted on government servers, contrary to Clinton’s claim that her server was allowed. It also said she “had an obligation” to discuss her email system with cybersecurity officials, but there’s “no evidence” that she sought or received their approval.

Now find some other way to spin and dodge

More Clinton emails surface that were State Department business, and not turned over by Clinton when she said she turned them all over: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...g-some-she-deleted/ar-AAhGTmh?ocid=spartanntp

"The emails were not among the 55,000 pages of work-related messages that Clinton turned over to the agency in response to public records lawsuits seeking copies of her official correspondence. They include a March 2009 message where the then-secretary of state discusses how her official records would be kept.

"I have just realized I have no idea how my papers are treated at State," Clinton wrote to Abedin and a second aide. "Who manages both my personal and official files? ... I think we need to get on this asap to be sure we know and design the system we want...

...Clinton never used a government account that was set up for her, instead continuing to rely on her private server until leaving office in 2013. Though Clinton's work-related emails were government records, she didn't turn over copies until more than 30 lawsuits were filed, including one by The Associated Press."

I see that as more of a separate concern. It is rather unseemly that she didn't see anything wrong with doing so. But then, at this point in time, what difference does it make, eh?

Except that former SoS's did the same. I could see where it would make life a bit easier using your personal mail rather then a new government account. At one time I was using 4 separate emails. One for scouts, one personal, one for my photography business and the last for my full time job. Confusing as heck.
