    If Torture is Wrong, Why Did They Televise the Democratic Debate? -Bernie Goldberg

    Here are a few things I was thinking while watching the Democratic presidential debate:

    Hillary Clinton says she's not campaigning on her last name. But if she had a different last name we wouldn't even know who she was.

    The five lefties on stage make freshmen at Oberlin College sound like right-wingers.

    Bernie Sanders makes "billionaire" sound like a curse word. I'm not sure if he reminds me of Karl Marx or Groucho Marx.

    Sanders just said fraud is a business model on Wall Street. I'm getting the impression he and the others hate rich Americans more than they hate ISIS. Too harsh?

    Lots of talk about income inequality but nothing about dysfunction behavior that leads to income inequality. Sorry, I just remembered: Liberals aren't allowed to talk about stuff like that.

    Just heard a question about whether black lives matter or all lives matter. Anderson Cooper asks Sanders and O'Malley what they think but noticeably fails to ask Hillary. I wonder why. I would have liked to hear her answer.

    Sanders defends Hillary, saying no one cares about her "damn emails." Really? Polls show the American people care. Most think she's dishonest. Why didn't Anderson Cooper bring that up?

    Sanders thinks climate change is the biggest problem facing America? Is this man a Republican mole?

    Jim Webb says smart things and the audience yawns. Hillary and Bernie sneeze and get standing ovations.

    I'm starting to feel sorry for billionaires.

    If you're a Republican you should pray that Bernie gets the nomination.

    Is Bernie Sanders middle name Che? Just asking.

    If Putin is watching he must be hoping the Democrats win next year.

    You know what's missing from this debate? Joe Biden telling us the answer to all our economic problems can be summed up with a simple 3-letter word: J-O-B-S.

    You know which candidate most sounds like Winston Churchill? Neither do I.

    I love America but if this goes on much longer I will give up state secrets.

    After listening to these five for nearly two hours I'm starting to like Donald Trump.

    Humorous analysis.

    I'm not watching the debates of either party, as I don't want to get consumed in the world of politics, which I view as basically corrupt.

    I watched the second Republican debate and about 45 minutes of the first Democratic debate. I saw more substance discussed during the Republican debate, candidates there had different answers to some of the problems the nation faces. On the Democratic side, all I saw was a race to see who could tax the "rich, wealthy" faster and more, give away more at no cost (except to the rich), and help the middle class which they think are union workers and liberal special interest groups. Only Sanders had different ideas and they were to socialize much of the private sector.

    I respect that some choose not to watch, but (and not referring to ANYONE HERE) that is the main problem, apathy, disinterested, and a view that it's so corrupt that my vote means nothing. If we Americans would pay attention to politics, stop the give me and what can this country do for me, and think we are Americans not hyphenated Americans we could see change. It's up to us, not the rich, the political elite, or special interests if we all to our duty and jobs as citizens. Sorry, enough stumping and again this is in GENERAL, not directed at ANYONE HERE.

    Well, here's the thing. The progressives adore their billionaires, but loathe and detest conservative billionaires. You'd think they would plainly see this but alas....what can one expect from the godless, haters of Christ, and heretics posting as Christians that make up much of the democratic party.

    I don't watch any debates, ever. Not republican, not democrat. I know the highlights will be discussed ad nauseam for the next week after the debates.

    3. Medical treatment is worthless because it will soon be free.
    4. To become an American Citizen is worthless as it will soon be free.
    5. The economy sucks and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
    6. The Middle Class is shrinking and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
    7. The Average Family income is dropping and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
    8. Black youths have over a 50% unemployment rate and after 7 years in office it’s not Obama’s fault.

    13. Government wants more money to squander on promises already broken.
    14. The word “Progressive” is the less cringe worthy than saying you’re a Liberal. Actually code for Communist.
    15. When America grows up, we want to be Norway, Sweden or the Netherlands.
    16. There’s a quagmire in Iraq, Syria and the Middle East and Obama’s retreating from the area and wants nothing to do with the situation.
    17. Republicans want dirty air, dirty water, oil spills, trash on the streets, polluted oceans, old people without medical treatment, young people without educations being paid the lowest wages possible, starving children, don’t believe in equal rights, were responsible for Jim Crow Laws and not Affirmative action,

    21. Everything is rainbows and Unicorns.
    22. Hillary Clinton does walk on water.
    23. Cheaters do prosper.
    24. People cheer stupidity.
    25. There are only 2 candidates given a voice in the Democratic Race.
    26. Hillary and Bill Clinton were born poor Black Children.
    27. All the qualifications needed to be President is to be a woman.
    28. Evil looks like anything white, rich, successful and productive.
