Repub debate shows every candidate better qualified than what Dems have now

This "debate" was pretty scary. All the candidates with the exception of Paul and Kasich, want to go to war with Iran and start spending massively on the military. And ALL the candidates want to cut taxes on the wealthy and cut domestic spending to pay for it.
That isn't what they said. You were stoned.
Wasn't stoned at all. And that's exactly what they said.


NO it isnt close to exactly what they said idiot. i am truly amazed how you self-deceiving idiots expect people to accept things are so simply because you say it is so!
 
poor Prog losers; so butthurt!! lol

Let's see if I understand where you're going. Because eleven dumbass right wing nuts get on a stage and argue for three hours you somehow believe they've already won something...is that about it?


i said they are more qualified dummy; try to keep up

What makes Carly Fiorina better qualified than Martin O'Malley?
Carson isnt a coward who would run away from a group of Black bigots or apologize for saying all lives matter

What makes Ben Carson better qualified than Hillary Clinton?
He isnt a serial liar, stepford wife (husband) with an sense of entitlement and a career or corruption baggage

What makes Marco Rubio better qualified than Bernie Sanders?
Colonel Sanders is more qualified than Bernie sanders

Answer those questions from a qualifications standard, with no partisan politics inserted.

lol, 0 for 3. Try again.



YAWN

you must think i actually expected a left-wing nutjob to admit something?????



BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAAA!!

what is "domestic spending" anyway leftard? kind of a catch-all term doncha think/

fear-monger much?

Well let's start with Education.

Governor Walker, who says folks need to be well educated, just cut 250 Million dollars out of Education in Wisconsin. Not sure how we get people from poverty to prosperity without a good education. And since poor people don't seem to have the money to pay for education cutting government subsidies doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense.

I'm glad you mentioned Wisconsin leftard. What is the graduation rate for Black students in Wisconsin? you know the ones almost certainly taught by full-blown "caring" union card-carrying liberals?

tell me who fails poor people leftard?

Carly Fiorina has no government experience. Martin O'Malley has been a governor.

Ben Carson has no government experience. Hillary Clinton has been both a Senator and Secretary of State.

Marco Rubio has a few years in the legislature. Bernie Sanders has decades of legislative experience.

How else would you measure qualifications?

I don't know the details and I'm positive you don't either. Or care to. But there's a lot of waste in public ed, half my property taxes go into it. I pay for services I don't use and the socialists strike just before school opens so they aren't even doing what I had to pay them to do. Fuck them. Money isn't the problem with education, libs think so because they think money solves every problem.

listen to yourself idiot; merely being something is good enough for you? O'Malley was a failed governor, Hillary still might end up in prison

What the Republicans say they want and what they end up doing are two different things. All I've seen them do since their hero Ronald Reagan was in office is cut taxes for the wealthy, start wars and increase the national debt. At the end of Clinton's two terms we were set to completely pay off the national debt. Guess what ol' slow walkin', slow talkin' George Did? That's right sport's fans...cut tax rates for his rich buddies not once but twice using reconciliation to block Democrat opposition then doubled the national debt from $5.7 trillion to $12 trillion.

no we were not set off to completely pay off the National Debt you history-revising loon.

if we came even close to it that was on account of the Republican Congress and the dot-com revolution

Progressives like you wanted to hang clinton over welfare reform, saying people were going to starve in the strets, that didnt happen and tens of billions was saved

love the way you losers LIE TO YOURSELVES

Clinton had a Republican congress (the people that write the checks) and Bush ended up with Democrats, who voted for and funded those wars. Bush cut taxes for everyone, which has been extended except for the top bracket. You're suffering from a classic case of looking at the world with blinders on. Like all idiots.

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Legislative history[edit]
Ultimately every Republican in Congress voted against the bill, as did a number of Democrats. Vice President Al Gore broke a tie in the Senate on both the Senate bill and the conference report. The House bill passed 219-213 on Thursday, May 27, 1993.[1] The House passed the conference report on Thursday, August 5, 1993, by a vote of 218 to 216 (217 Democrats and 1 independent (Sanders (I-VT)) voting in favor; 41 Democrats and 175 Republicans voting against).[2] The Senate passed the conference report on the last day before their month's vacation, on Friday, August 6, 1993, by a vote of 51 to 50 (50 Democrats plus Vice President Gore voting in favor, 6 Democrats (Lautenberg (D-NJ), Bryan (D-NV), Nunn (D-GA), Johnston (D-LA), Boren (D-OK), and Shelby (D-AL) now (R-AL)) and 44 Republicans voting against). President Clinton signed the bill on August 10, 1993.

Had nothing at all to do with what Clinton did legislatively that had a positive effect on the deficit and debt. Ultimately, Newt Gingrich was forced out of congress.

You should have looked into it instead of remaining a blithering idiot. But that's what you do.

No, Bill Clinton Didn't Balance the Budget
Let us establish one point definitively: Bill Clinton didn’t balance the budget. Yes, he was there when it happened. But the record shows that was about the extent of his contribution.

Many in the media have flubbed this story. The New York Times on October 1st said, “Clinton balances the budget.” Others have praised George Bush. Political analyst Bill Schneider declared on CNN that Bush is one of “the real heroes” for his willingness to raise taxes — and never mind read my lips. (Once upon a time, lying was something that was considered wrong in Washington, but under the last two presidents our standards have dropped.) In any case, crediting George Bush for the end of the deficit requires some nifty logical somersaults, since the deficit hit its Mount Everest peak of $290 billion in St. George’s last year in office.

And 1993 — the year of the giant Clinton tax hike — was not the turning point in the deficit wars, either. In fact, in 1995, two years after that tax hike, the budget baseline submitted by the president’s own Office of Management and Budget and the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicted $200 billion deficits for as far as the eye could see. The figure shows the Clinton deficit baseline. What changed this bleak outlook?

Newt Gingrich and company — for all their faults — have received virtually no credit for balancing the budget. Yet today’s surplus is, in part, a byproduct of the GOP’s single-minded crusade to end 30 years of red ink. Arguably, Gingrich’s finest hour as Speaker came in March 1995 when he rallied the entire Republican House caucus behind the idea of eliminating the deficit within seven years.
 
This "debate" was pretty scary. All the candidates with the exception of Paul and Kasich, want to go to war with Iran and start spending massively on the military. And ALL the candidates want to cut taxes on the wealthy and cut domestic spending to pay for it.

you're trying to say something without having the balls to come right out with it. you're implying that clinton's tax hike alone was responsible for the prosperty of the 90's. you dont have the balls to come out and say it because one, it's absurd, and two; it proves you idiots just see tax hikes as the "solution" to everything.
