All the other issues I agree with him on.

You don't support making health insurance affordable for millions of Americans? You don't support stopping insurance companies from dropping people or hiking their premiums just because they got sick? You do support lifetime caps on coverage? You do support insurance companies refusing coverage for kids with existing conditions?

I'm not Newanderthals, but I too disagree with what Obamacare is doing, i.e. being a hand-over-fist bailout to insurers, which is going to result in long-term price hikes at faster rates.

I would rather have a single-payer system, or a more robust public option.

Under his reign food stamps would change from food in general to, you guessed it, tacos.

I was for Rand Paul, but after watching America sit helplessly on the sidelines whilst Putin and ISIS thumb their noses at us at every possible turn, I want to put someone in the White House who might actually prompt global mischief-makers to think twice before fucking with us.

Condi Rice it is.

Vice president doesn't matter much. I like Jindal, Nikki Haley and Justin Amash so any of them would suit me fine.

I'm fine with someone's position changing over time. Whether it be because they're doing their job (i.e.listening to their constituents and voting accordingly) or because of learning new things. Her core political platform has not changed significantly since she first ran for office.

Yes it does. Republicans advocate for a racist agenda that harms black people at the expense of white people and black people are aware of this, that's why there aren't very many black Republicans.

Indeed. No one would elect one (let alone two) people calling them assholes. Maybe we could claim some kind of handicap benefit from being a bit to honest?
