so endeth the myth of the Clinton surplus

a spent projected surplus is not a surplus
Ah yes, fun with numbers. Here's another on the California "surplus":

California's Phony Budget Surplus, David Henderson | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty

I think it's clear why most of the sheep vote for the same inept/lying people time after time. They largely believe everything that is told to them and question nothing.

Impressions From a Conservative perspective:

Hillary Clinton: Yes, she will in fact say anything to get elected, because she's just that fake.

Bernie Sanders: He's a left-wing socialist radical, but at least he's genuine and sincere about doing what he thinks is best

Martin O'Malley: No impression, which pretty much says it all

Lincoln Chaffe: Lost his right to even be in the race when he made excuses and admitted that he voted for legislation that he didn't even understand

Jim Webb: The only Democratic candidate I could even conceivably vote for, if he could just stop whining about how unfair the time constraints are.

General impressions on the debate over all: I sure hope the Republicans were paying attention because this debate was 1000x more substantive than either of theirs. If they can't get their act together, they deserve to lose. Republican candidates need to be more realistic about their chances and start dropping out so that we have a more focused message like the Democrats.

Also, I sure hope Jake Tapper was watching Anderson Copper and taking notes, because THAT is how a proper debate is conducted. Kudos to Anderson on a good, unbiased performance.

Maybe, maybe not, in 2007 people were saying the same thing about Hillary, yet we all know who won the election in 2008.

I can't make opinions like you in forums?.....who said I have no interest in the people who represent us or want to represent us?


sheep is not a personal attack......a lot of people vote straight party lines no matter what....those I call sheep, if you think that's a personal attack then that sounds like a personal problem for you, not me.


who cares who you will be voting for, I didn't ask or care....this topic is about the debate, not you.

She held her own tonight! Everyone did a fine job, but Hillary won IMO. Bernie Sanders was a close 2nd. Time has an online poll that's giving Sanders a big win, but I disagree. Hillary had the command on a broad range of issues.

did you even read the link you posted

a NAACP convention and not once did he talk about BLACK ON BLACK homicides
he talked about prisoners....he talked abot how 60% of prisoners are black or latino

he talked about commuting sentences.....of CRIMINALS


so what was your link...it was more division as it was saying 'oh the poor black person doesn't get a fair shake'



again

not ONCE has he sent his AG to Chicago to investigate the '''black on black''' gang violence

not once has he said "the little girl could be my daughter" when blacks killed the little girl and her mom in a drive by


Obama the divider

I know first hand here in NJ the freebees they get, welfare , food stamps housing all for having kids born here and the men work under the table making $1000 a week under the table in the housing industry. The illegal women drive dump trucks here.. they are running amuck working under the table and fleecing taxpayers.. get free college while Americans have their property taxes going through the roof.. NJ has the highest property taxes because our dear Christie spends 234 thousand for each illegal to go to grade school here and then they also get free college on the taxpayers dime.. People in NJ are moving out or losing their homes because the cost of living here is so high because the tax burden is enormous. So tell me how illegals are good for the country.
What you are saying is 100% false. Illegal immigrants do not get any type of welfare. Period.

tell me how much you deserve and Wall Street should pay you back? has Bernie broke out the numbers yet?......we have over 320 million people without the 20 million illegals that Bernie also wants to give FREE STUFF.....tell us a number that Bernie will take away from Wall Street and give each person?



see, when it comes to details and numbers, Bernie and the people that drink his kool aid sound silly.
