If GS was silly enough to pay me that kind of money I sure as hell would talk to them, are you simply jealous Tom?

There are examples of politicians hiring children and paying them $50-100k as "salary".

Theres is an excellent 60 Minutes segment about it. Of course the salary comes from individual PACs of the the congress members.

Plus I don't like to use the term whore because I see it as derogatory toward women in general...there is no real male equivalent in the language in my opinion that is as negative. "John" or gigilo" just is not as bad and the term whore just reinforces a double standard.
Rent boy.

The way it looks now, I will most likely vote for a woman for President, but it won't be Hillary.

So then you all are going to stay home in November and watch the Donald win?

The Canadian Maritimes are looking better all the time . Housing prices there are very attractive.

Sure, it has nothing to do with the fact that she is selling the working class down the river.

It's still a long way off, and anything can happen, but the most likely scenario for me is that I will vote for Jill Stein of the Green Party.

She has many other faults, but that's her biggest.
I believe Hillary is a corporate whore. I also see that Trump is a corporate pimp. That's why I still support Bernie, even though it may prove Quixotic in the end. He is neither.

That being said, if it comes down to it, I'll vote for the whore. Sometimes girls sell their bodies simply because they're desperate for cash. It sucks, but being homeless is even less fun. The pimp on the other hand is an abusive, controlling scumbag who beats them and takes nearly all of the money for himself.

Trump and everyone like him, can go to hell as far as I'm concerned.

Nope. Not me. I'll be in line, puke bag in hand, doing my bit to keep that nightmare from happening.

I'm going to vote for the candidate that best represents what I believe in.

No more lesser of two evils for me.
