and how many times does Hillary have to remind everyone that shes a woman?

Gonna take at least a few more times 'cause I still ain't buyin' it.
Was reading a post of a cousin of mine on FB last night. He asked how Bernie Sanders planned on paying for the free college he promised. He used the example of Cal Berkely and USC. The combined enrollment of the two schools is close to 100,000 students. It would cost 6.8 BILLION dollars to pay for the "free education" for all those students. AT TWO SCHOOLS. Now he didn't say if it was 6.8 billion a year, but think about that for a minute. 6.8 BILLION for 100,000 students. I shudder to think of the total cost for every student.
He also didn't use a FB meme to prove his point- he calculated it out himself and based it on the costs THIS YEAR for a student.
Nahhh.....the gubmint will just conscript teachers to work for free......unless you have $30,000.00 to buy your way out of conscription. Or you can have your negro serve in your place.
Bernie calls himself a 'democratic socialist'
Free everything for everyone - the working man capitalists will pay for it all, of course
That title is redundant....is there really any difference?
cut off aid to a few certain countries and college education for taxpayers is almost nil.
or just not spend that money and actually pay down the debt....
The end of a two-term Presidency is typically a time for taking credit, celebrating achievements and promising to continue successful policies. So what happened to the Obama Democrats?
At Tuesday night’s Democratic debate, not one of the five candidates even attempted to defend the results of President Obama’s economic policies. Instead their blistering critiques of the status quo showed they all agree on at least one point: Today’s economy is a disaster for hard-working Americans.
As might be expected, self-declared socialist Bernie Sanders was the Gloomiest Gus. Any chance he got, the Vermont Senator waxed on about the terrible and “rigged” U.S. economy and how bad things are for anyone save those fat cats on Wall Street.
“I think most Americans understand that our country today faces a series of unprecedented crises,” he said in one of his many Dickensian riffs. “The middle class of this country for the last 40 years has been disappearing. Millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages, and yet almost all of the new income and wealth being created is going to the top one percent.”
You’d think someone might have taken issue with that, but the other candidates agreed that Americans are in misery after seven years of Obamanomics. Former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley was nearly as blue as Bernie. “What I’m talking about is this, our middle class is shrinking. Our poor families are becoming poorer, and 70% of us are earning the same, or less, than we were 12 years ago. We need new leadership, and we need action.”
New leadership? What does this say about Mr. Obama?
Hillary Clinton said she didn’t want to throw out capitalism, but she did say that “I think what Senator Sanders is saying certainly makes sense in the terms of the inequality that we have.” She added that inequality “hasn’t been this bad since the 1920s.” Her solution isn’t to try something new but to emulate Mr. Obama’s policies and then “go further” in raising taxes, imposing more regulations and beating up the drug and insurance companies.
Lincoln Chafee awakened from irrelevance to say that he would make also it a priority to “close the gap between the haves and have-nots.” Later he was more specific, claiming that he would soak the “0.6 percent of Americans” at the “top echelon” who are doing fine, to “help the middle class and hard-working Americans,” who are not.
All of this amounts to a searing indictment of what was supposed to be a transformational Democratic Presidency. So even as they painted scenes of an economy that could have been ripped from “Les Miserables,” the candidates were at pains to let Mr. Obama off the hook for these results.
Mr. O’Malley explained that the President shouldn’t be held accountable for today’s economy because he’s not a “magician.” And no Democratic Party debate would be complete without blaming a Republican Congress for blocking even more Obama spending and regulation, not to mention that old standby, “the Bush tax cuts”—though they were enacted more than 12 years ago and were long ago erased by Mr. Obama’s tax increases.
Look past the pro forma Republican bashing, and Tuesday’s message is stark: After nearly seven years of Barack Obama in the White House, America’s working families are struggling in an economy with fewer good jobs, stagnant paychecks, growing inequality and a system that rewards billionaires while hard-working Average Joes are left behind.
And this is the Democratic talking point. If Republicans want to make the case against Obamanomics, they can start by quoting Democrats.
If the GOP manages to nominate Bush (I'm active in Republican circles at the county and state level and I know NO ONE who wants Jeb), I assure you the Libertarian candidate whoever that will be, will receive a record number of votes.
Don't bet on it. Those who even suggest voting Libertarian will be blasted as closet Hillary fans, because they won't vote FOR their piece of **** the RNC nominates.
The GOP needs to give us someone we will vote for then, unlike the last two candidates.
I know you do not believe that will happen, I sure as hell don't.

Obamanomics have been terrible. We have a terrible economy.
But Hitlery says she wants to continue more of the same, to perpetuate Obama's plan. Shaking my damn head.

She is competent. A President can't do much on their own, she will bring bright people in to run the government.
She is likely to run it better than anyone has and might even reduce taxes thru efficiency.
When she was Senator of New York, she went to one of the poorer areas of New York, the Adirondacks, and she
got small businesses assistance with using the internet. It helped my cousins restaurant significantly and boosted
tourism. The Clintons see problems, apply intelligence and work toward solutions. Both actually have worked well
with Republicans. Most Republican Senators that served with her, have good things to say.
Trump, baby! Use your common sense. He's for lower taxes, allowing people to keep more of what they EARNED. He's for slashing wasteful spending to fund said tax cuts. He's going to take care of our vets and invest in our military. He's going to keep ISIS out of our country. He should win this election in a landslide as long as people still have some brain cells.
she helped a child rapist beat his charge.I'm still waiting on a real answer. You are exactly like those "On The Street Interviews" where the interviewee looks like a fool trying to answer the question "Name some of Hillary's accomplishments as Secretary of State." I gave you Secretary of State, First Lady, etc...more ground to play with. And you can't give any real answers...just that people had favorable things to say about her.
I feel badly for you though, because you can't win. See, it's a trick question. She has no accomplishments, not a single one anyone can point to. You lose the minute you admit to being willing to answer the question.
When your Secretary of State doing your job is an accomplishment. The position isn't designed to create great change.
It's for maintaining relationships. The status quo is generally good. If your going to blame her for not solving the
Israeli/Palestinian conflict, then you need to blame all the other secretary of states before her as well.
She had no role in the killing of 4 Americans, she doesn't even own a gun. lol
From my understanding of Benghazi the Security Dept within the State Dept
was the one responsible and the reason more security wasn't provided there
was that resources were allocated elsewhere. The State Dept is rather big and has
limited budgets, its a judgment call where resources get allocated. If more resources were
devoted to Benghazi, then less were devoted elsewhere and Americans could be killed elsewhere.
I'm not sure anyone in Egypt asked Hilary for permission to overthrow Mubarak and like wise in Syria.
The Middle East has been pretty much a mess, like forever. The big difference today is dictators have
or are being overthrown. I wonder where they got that idea? Hint Saddam Hussein.

Well.....I AM sure that the Embassy in Libya ASKED for more security. And how do you defend the entire admin (including hitlery) blaming a video?
