The first line in their preamble We believe in American exceptionalism, so they think all Americans are better than anyone else, which we definitely are not.
I'm still supporting Trump in hopes that he will listen to his advisers, I still feel that Hillary is not fit to be POTUS and I still worry that Trump has a short fuse.......this election has been and will continue to be a game changer for politics', people are fed up and tired of the dirty business of politics' and this election could be a win win for everybody, meaning that elections in the future will be more involved and focused more on the needs of the American people and candidates doing right by the American people as well and not how it's been in the past.

I truly don't understand. People talk about change as though you are simply pro-change or anti-change - not as though change is a spectrum ranging from 'far worse' to 'far better'. Even that's an oversimplification. Just because Donald Trump would be a different politician than his predecessors, does not mean he would be a far better one.
Voting for Trump is like taking strychnine as medicine for a cold.
Traditional marriage and family, based on marriage between one man and one woman, is the foundation for a free society and has for millennia been entrusted with rearing children and instilling cultural values.
Places of worship for the first time in our history have reason to fear the loss of tax-exempt status merely for espousing and practicing traditional religious beliefs that have been held across the world for thousands of years, and for almost four centuries in America.
We salute the Republican Congress for defending the right to keep and bear arms by preventing the President from installing a new liberal majority on the Supreme Court.
We oppose the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and any other scheme to abolish or distort the procedures of the Electoral College. An unconstitutional effort to impose National Popular Vote would be a grave threat to our federal system and a guarantee of corruption, as every ballot box in every state would offer a chance to steal the presidency. We urge state legislatures that have voted for this proposal to rescind their approval.
We support the development of all forms of energy that are marketable in a free economy without subsidies, including coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear power, and hydropower. A federal judge has struck down the BLM’s rule on hydraulic fracturing and we support upholding this decision.
How so? You do realize 3 weeks ago both democrats and republicans both put yo two gun laws each, both struck down by each other, but none that would have prevented any of the mass shooting. You knew that right? Right?
We demand an immediate halt to U.S. funding for the U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in accordance with the 1994 Foreign Relations Authorization Act. That law prohibits Washington from giving any money to “any affiliated organization of the United Nations” which grants Palestinians membership as a state. There is no ambiguity in that language. It would be illegal for the President to follow through on his intention to provide millions in funding for the UNFCCC and hundreds of millions for its Green Climate Fund. We firmly believe environmental problems are best solved by giving incentives for human ingenuity and the development of new technologies, not through top-down, command-and-control regulations that stifle economic growth and cost thousands of jobs.

You don't understand this because you refuse to look at it from the otherside, and are buying way to much into what other people are selling you
Please, teach me or link me to a place where I can learn about the other side, oh wise one.
I disagree with his hawkish, divisive, paranoid, unsubstantiated fear-mongering platform. I think his obtuse, arrogant, obnoxious words combined with his masochistic chauvinism, desire for isolationism, and sentiments of white American supremacy are recipes for disaster in terms of all of America's current foreign relations. On the platform of the Republicans - I disagree with their anti-gay marriage stance, their religion-as-a-tax-haven position, their pro-gun and anti-gun regulation positions, their commitment to the political checks and balances when they favour their party and their vehement opposition when they don't serve their own interests, but most importantly, I don't feel that my humanist attitudes are represented by them whatsoever.
Do me a favour: don't call me a sheep. I'm not dumb or naive enough to blindly accept opinions as facts, and while I hardly think Hilary Clinton is the right candidate for the job, I definitely feel she's less bad than the buffoon.

If you support Clinton, why does it bother you? You shouldn't care what the GOP is doing. I mean unless you consider federal investigation a decent thing to he worried about, why bother?
How do you feel about the pending court case alleging Trump raped a 13 year old?
I find it interesting that the Republicans have had 2 straight days of Clinton bashing and not one word has been spoken about policy. Very telling.
Yeah, it's pathetic. Clearly, since there isn't a competition happening, they feel absolutely no need to address anything that means anything. And they're right. It's not necessary. At this point I feel like they will simply depend on those voters who will vote Republican no matter what, so they don't need to bother thinking or talking about anything complicated like policy.

The day I quote musicians, or listen to musicians for my political ideas, that's the day my brain stops working. Eddie was great friends with Johnny. You might not know this but Johnny Ramon was a republican gun slinging conservative
Which is what separates him from douches like Nugent who won't associate with anyone even slightly left of Hitler. The music came first. He wasn't a saint but he's way more rational than Nugent or that greedy jerk, Gene Simmons.
Plus, he died before the whole Halliburton thing so who knows if he might have realized what a scumbag Cheney was if he lived longer.

I don't think supporting Hillary has much to do with concern about the GOP convention and Trump's campaign. What really worries me (as an observer who is impacted by what happens in the US) is that there are elected politicians who are standing behind Trump and participating in the farce, and supporting the ridiculous ramblings of a man who I suspect is actually mentally unstable and who has literally no interest in the well-being of Americans or anyone else. That people, and especially active politicians are supporting Trump is very disturbing IMO. I think it says a lot about the fucked up state of the US government right now. The Republican party is falling apart and some people involved in governance and making law seem to think such things as religion in government, Nazi-esque policies and election tactics, bald-faced lying without shame, and voting for a thoroughly unqualified blustering Twitter addict is okay. That is a legitimate concern for anyone, whether they actually like Hillary or not. It is scary that many of the leaders of the most powerful nation on Earth are acting and thinking like this.

Everybody knows that. But he wasn't a homophobe or a racist.

BOOOOOOOO
If he changed it to 'Murica, guns and white people the place would've erupted in cheers.
Plus, he died before the whole Halliburton thing so who knows if he might have realized what a scumbag Cheney was if he lived longer.

So I won't.
