    Fusion voting might be useful in influencing a party's choice of candidate, but some of that already goes on between groups. It happened in the last presidential election, hence Pence.

    BTW, I read through your earlier link to IRV, but in doing so found that it can be spoiled, sometimes tactically, but also because of inherent flaws.

    This is just silly. Cuba does not even have any kind of system that works. It is a communist country and the second poorest country in the world. The only medical system is for members of the communist party and tourists from the UK and Canada. Cuban doctors probably could not qualify as EMTs in the USA. California is thinking of going to free medicine; if they do, everyone in the world can go to California and get treated for nothing.

    No, you offered no facts either. I have been reading Cuban dissident blogs for five years. If you think that Cuba has anything good, you are immune to the suffering of the Cuban people.

    God and GOP

    Posted on June 26, 2018 by Landover Baptist Churchin Bible Study, Greatest Sermons, Society & Politics

    [​IMG]
    God wants you to be a Republican.

    You may have heard news reports of Demoncrats who say they are Christians, but these are usually on unreliable channels, or on Fox news where they are exposed for the hypocrites that they are.

    How do we know that God wants us to be Republican? The Bible tells us so.

    The Bible starts with the History of God and how he makes something from nothing which He might profit from: The Universe. His untaxed reward? Constant praise, millions of employees, and a dividend of souls.

    Next we have business assets – Ge:2:18: And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him – God gave man assets – all the beasts.

    Next we have Eve Ge:2:20- 22 an employee. Great businesses always start by hiring an employee.

    God recognized the use of Law and Order and gave us the 10 Commandments enforced by an incorruptible priesthood directly responsible to Him.

    God dealt with His enemies the only way they understand:Shock and Awe. 1Chronicles:20:3; Psalms:68:21-23
    God dealt with abominations the only way they understand:Shock and Awe. Ge:19:24
    God dealt with foreigners the only way they understand:Shock and Awe. 1Samuel 15:2-3

    And to reinforce the Law, a strong and infallible God with the sanction of not a mere life sentence, but a sentence of eternal torture!

    There will be those among you who have not read your Bible –you may be deluded liberals with an “interpretation” – God’s Word needs no “interpretation”:His Words stand before you in burnished Gold.

    These milquetoast Demoncrats think they know better than God: They call upon God to change His mind… Jesus is God. Was Jesus’s Ministry on Earth really a cry for Hillary Clinton come forth as a prophet and save us all?

    Or was its message a little clearer?
    Re:19:15: And out of his [Jesus’s] mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
    Re:19:21: And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

    We cannot disapprove of any of this – it would be blasphemy.We cannot alter the facts: they are before us! We must approve and do our best to avoid being among the slaughtered.

    And yet there are “RINOs”, doves, peacemakers, compromisers! One cannot compromise with sin! We must work to bring God’s Kingdom on Earth.

    Ask yourself: “Who do I trust to deliver God’s brand of Christianity that the Jews will be perfected and End of Days will arrive? GOP or some chattering social group of intellectuals who have never done a proper day’s work in their lives?”

    What an obvious answer!:Laugh

    I know the OP & thread is political ......

    I have been a member of Independent Evangelical churches (fiec.org.uk) for all my Christian life - churches are affiliated & in fellowship with each other, & with Christians & churches of other denominations as considered appropriate locally.

    World Health Organization's Ranking of the World's Health Systems

    World Health Organization’s Ranking of the World’s Health Systems

    Some people fancy all health care debates to be a case of Canadian Health Care vs. American. Not so. According to the World Health Organization’s ranking of the world’s health systems, neither Canada nor the USA ranks in the top 25.

    30 Canada
    31 Finland
    32 Australia
    33 Chile
    34 Denmark
    35 Dominica
    36 Costa Rica
    37 USA
    38 Slovenia
    39 Cuba

    Well, now, you have demoted Cuba from where you had it before and you have the USA as better than Cuba, whereas you had Cuba as better before.

    If you actually believe that Cuba has the 39th best health care system in the world while being the second poorest country in the world, then you are naïve. Cuba is a pit of poverty and squalor.

    Or it could be that Cuban medical care is actually better than what you yourself receive. Perhaps you would care to visit this link to see smuggled photos of a Cuban hospital and then tell me if it is better than the place where you yourself go:

    Depends on the criteria used to make a list.

    For example - Did you hear about the 2 mile run that Russia and the USA were part of?

    As reported in Pravda, "Russia comes in Second, USA comes in next to last."

    So who won the race???
