Why not Gary Johnson? Not really up on the Dept of Education. What's the big gripe about them? |

Schools and education cannot be found in the Constitution. That's why. All other powers and responsibilities reserved to the states. |

oh, ok. Just because something is not in the Constitution doesn't mean it shouldn't be. That's why we have ammendments. I'm not saying I support the Dept. of Education, but one wonders what the founding fathers were thinking back in those olden days. Education was not a big formal todo then. Do we need a Department of Education? What the hell do they do anyways? |

Wut? But until it is, it isn't. I can't substantiate this, but I have a vague memory of having read that the DOE is mostly a self-sustaining entity. That is, most of its budget goes to sustaining and (maybe) perpetuating itself. |

That's exactly right. And the Tenth Amendment explicitly says, "What is not here, is up to the states."
Marriage isn't in the Constitution either. |

So you guys would be happy if a State elected not to have any publically funded education at all, in line with the Constitution? |

Nobody did, I just asked a question. All this talk of Constitutional this and that sometimes tends to obliterate common sense. There's no mention of lead paint and asbestos in the constitution, but that doesn't necessarily mean there shouldn't be federally legislated rules to stop people using it in schools. |

The word "federally" is where you leave the rails. Regulations such as that can just as easily originate at the state level. |

I'm kind of torn over this question. I see the obvious advantages of devolving power away from federal government, however I also think there should be minimum standards that are applied across the country in a number of cases. I grew up in a small country, where a great deal was mandated nationally, which makes sense in a country that size, so I tend to approach things from that perspective. I guess this may not always be appropriate over here. |

Ms. Clinton's gender will guarantee that. And it's her turn. |

The fact that she's running against The Ugly American made flesh probably won't hurt either. |

I'm tired of hearing that a vote for someone other than the main parties is wasted. It sends a message. If enough people send that message it will be heard. Isn't this a great country? |

I have cast several votes for non-main party candidates, none were wasted. |

It's not wasted, it is a vote for the candidate they aren't taking away votes from. An independent candidate siphons votes away from the candidate they are ideologically closer to. In this example, votes for Johnson will be peeled from likely otherwise Republican voters, increasing Hillary's chance of winning. You are essentially voting for Hillary. |

None may be wasted. But vote for Trump and you just gotta take a shower. You are going to have his slime all over you. |
