I was just listening to one of the democratic candidate's victory speech and she made it sound like everything in this country is god awful. This is bad, that is bad, people don't have a fair chance, rich getting richer, poor getting poorer, women not being treated as fair as men in the workplace, people's income down, people's hopes for the future down, people's trust in national security down, etc etc etc.

Then she kept saying that if she and her side are elected, all these things will be addressed and corrected.

Okay, I am a "No Party Affiliation" voter as I cannot stand either party and I think we would be better off if people had to vote for candidates without party ID's, just for the person themselves.

I do not claim to be the brightest bulb in the box, BUT, if she is saying everything stinks now and she and her party will fix it if elected..........well, ummmm......haven't they been the one's in charge the last 7.5 years, at least the main man? And they had both the House & Senate for years, plus a super majority for a period with the (I's) that go with them.

So what am I missing with what she is saying? Is she actually really saying that Obama and the people he put in place did a horrible job or did she forget what party she is in?

This is crazy. How can you possible say to someone "The democrats screwed everything up, so elect democrats and we will fix it". That does not make sense, unless she is trying to stick a knife in Obama's back. I know they can't stand each other, but WOW!

I always laugh when career politicians make statements like they are outside of all the problems (that they helped create)

It's going to be fun when Obama refuses to endorse her, and why would/should he? She's blaming him for the fact that my neighbor's cat had diarrhea, more or less.


And yep, those are the fools who have been in charge. If this moron thinks she can fix it, if it's that easy, why is it still broken?


What a despicable POS woman!

All the candidates use the same ink to paint a rosy picture of the future only they can deliver.

Funny how none of them mentions that 99% of their promises cannot be kept unless Congress approves and funds it. Seems to e that Congress is none to fond of any of the front runners or their promises.

No president delivers on all promises. Sometimes Congress won't plY ball and sometime president's don't try.

People are ignorant enough of history to keep believing lies. We'll just get this person in power who claims they can fix things...then it gets worse most of the time. Then the new candidates are rolled out and people buy into it again, and then again, and again. Ever think that putting people in power isn't the answer? No, no we just need the right person..

Interesting, I listened to the speech and I didn't hear her say that. What I heard is that we've come a long way from the Dark Ages of the last Republican executive but there are still things that need to be done. She mentioned many jobs were created but more jobs are still needed. She mentioned income is rising and that she will widen the population that get on this stream. In general, she is acknowledging that some people got left behind by the economic boom and she will help those people lift themselves up.

This really isn't that hard to understand.

Things are dramatically better than they were in 2008. However, it's also a fact that a lot of people are still suffering and still aren't where they used to be.

Yep, exactly.
She is depending on the stupidity of her base.
Disgruntled and hopeless is where the Dems want their voters so they can claim to be the saviors to make it all better.


They have been pulling this stunt for over half a century now.
