    American best days were the 1950s

    The country regained it's Global influence/reputation in the 1980s


    USA has been laughing stock since 9/11
    Which is why the dollar and the U.S. Treasury bond rule the world.
    You live in the most reliable, largest economy in the world.
    Put your money where your mouth is and buy Polish securities.

    Go now to a bank and get rid of all your dollars and go to any other place. Then get back to me.

    Hilarious 3 hours of TV. Rand Paul, Dr. Ben Carson, and Trump destroyed Jeb in the debate. Jeb looked like he wanted to punch Trump. "Kept us safe". LMAO! Keep telling yourself that. No matter how hard he tries, Jeb can't get rid of the Bush name. Dubya destroyed America. Jeb can't ever defend that.

    That was the moment I knew Trump was off his troll game tonight. When Jeb said that dumbass line he basically put both hands behind his back and lifted his chin so Trump could knock him out It was the perfect setup and I was shocked when Trump said nothing.

    Let's just pretend for a moment that Obama did the following:
    1. Sold weapons to Iran secretly in exchange for hostages
    2. Diverted a portion of the sales to finance a rebel guerrilla outfit in another country
    3. Initially told the American people that it wasn't a weapons-for-hostages swap
    4. Backtracked on that claim and accepted that hostages were swapped
    5. Had a dozen people in his administration convicted (with most of these being either vacated or pardoned later on)

    What would you be saying about his character and his competence?

    And that doesn't even begin to cover his tax cuts for the rich, reckless expansion of federal debt, financial deregulation that led to the S&L crisis etc
    I think that's the other elephant in the room republicans don't really like to talk about which is Reagan initially cut taxes at the start of the 80's but had to raise them several times due to not getting enough revenue for the government to function and get the economy moving. That in itself illustrates supply side economics is complete garbage.

    USA will never match it's global wealth dominance after WW2.


    So just money? Where is it disappearing. Most hours worked and yet average living standards for a Western nation.

    Yep

    We don't have the Greek, European safety net. We don't tax the rich near as much as European countries.
    True. It's tougher here if you work at a job in which you are very replaceable. If you do something almost anyone can do its gonna be tough here. Or very nice if you are from Sierra Leon.

    So ask yourself what you do that is valuable to our society that others cannot or will not do.

    So who wants to bomb someone the most? I'm thinking Rubio followed by Cruz. Jeb and Christie would be tied for 3rd.

    Why do Republicans think that Israel is a 3rd world country with no military?

    LOL at Jeb Bush saying his brother kept our country safe. Jeb might want to just pretend hes not related to George at all. GW was by far the worst president in modern history. The Bush family drinks American blood for dinner. I also think rooting for politics is a lot like rooting for the WWE, its kind of adorable we all think we have a say in it but at the end of the day im not sure how much influence we really have.

    Trump destroyed nobody last night. Carson was a wuss. Fiorina was on her game. Kasich was good.

    Not sure how it is possible to vote for any of the clowns with the exception of perhaps Kasich. At least he isn't bat crazy.
    check his record in Ohio. he's as extremist right wing as any of them.

    adoration of St Ronnie is just on of the fantasies of the Repugs fabricated, alternate world of lies, distortions. Useful Idiot St Ronnie the Diseased couldn't get on the debate stage because, as nasty as his ball was, he's way to the left the current Repug assholes.

    Of all the GOP candidates, Gov. Kasich is the only one I could see myself voting for.
    Granted I grew up in Ohio and I'm Catholic but he is the most moderate and clear headed of them all.

    And Hillary a leader?

    The best leadership she showed is when she led the secret service members to that house in Colombia

    At Debate, Republicans Talk the Talk

    Our national attention span is … short. The Republican presidential primary debate on Wednesday was … long. Really, if you throw in the earlier loser debate, it was the longest ever.

    The Lincoln-Douglas debates would go on for three hours. But that was back when in many towns, the most exciting public activity of the year was pole-raising.


    Are people going to remember the shallow, sassy Donald Trump from the first half-hour? (“I wrote ‘The Art of the Deal.’ I say not in a braggadocio’s way I’ve made billions and billions of dollars.”)


    Or the middle-section Trump who clearly didn’t have a clue about how to critique President Obama’s Syrian policy? (“Somehow he just doesn’t have courage. There’s something missing from our president.”)

    And then there was the completely, unbelievably irresponsible Trump of the finale who claimed he knew people whose daughter got autism from a vaccine shot. (This happened, he said, to “people that work for me just the other day.”)

    Remember when the vaccination issue destroyed Michele Bachmann’s political career? One can only hope.


    Of course everyone wanted to hear Jeb Bush take on the front-runner. Smackdown! Bush got his opportunity very early. Where would he go? Immigration? Taxes? Foreign affairs?


    Bush accused Trump of giving him campaign donations in order to get casino gambling in Florida.


    “Totally false,” said Trump. “I promise if I wanted it, I would have gotten it.”


    Do you think that’s what Bush was practicing over the last couple of weeks? There were six or seven people on the stage who sounded more forceful than he did. A recent poll in Florida suggested that only 52 percent of Florida Republicans want their former governor to continue running for president. At times on Wednesday, that seemed like overenthusiasm.

    Bush perked up a little in the middle, when he volunteered that he’d smoked marijuana in his youth. Then at the end, when he was asked what woman he’d like to see on the 10-dollar bill, he said … Margaret Thatcher.

    Nobody wanted to deal with the global warming issue.

    Virtually everybody made up a Planned Parenthood scenario that never existed. Ah, Republicans …

    And in other activities, Carly Fiorina managed to yet again drop the name “my good friend … Bibi Netanyahu.”

    Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin repeated his previous debate trick of vanishing entirely into the scenery. Walker’s poll numbers are vanishing, too, and it appears his only playing card is to remind people that he fought against public employee unions. Lately he’s been desperately upping the anti-union ante so much that his next step would have to be demanding that federal employees be prohibited from talking with one another outside of work.

    Marco Rubio — remember Marco Rubio? The senator who vanished all summer except the time he hit the kid in the head with a football? He definitely looked rested.

    Ben Carson, at one point, appeared to be accusing Trump of socialism.

    Chris Christie did pretty well. Too bad he’s such a terrible governor. New Jersey would rather have another traffic crisis at the George Washington Bridge than vote again for Chris Christie.

    What do you think it is about governors in this race? Florida is deeply unenthusiastic about Jeb Bush, Wisconsin seems to hate Scott Walker, and if Louisiana had a chance to get its hands on Bobby Jindal, God knows what would happen.

    The debate went on for so long it was a wonder no one fainted. And think about the viewers who made it all the way from the first segment — the one where the CNN preview featured a zipper at the bottom of the screen announcing, “PATAKI ARRIVES AT DEBATE HALL.”

    “The first four questions are about Donald Trump!” former Gov. George Pataki complained. Senator Lindsey Graham repeatedly slid in the fact that his parents ran a bar and a poolroom. Graham insists he’s really enjoying himself, although when someone keeps saying “I’m running because I think the world is falling apart,” it’s sort of a downer.

    Former Senator Rick Santorum and Governor Jindal tried so hard to break through the barrier of national indifference they sounded like rabid otters.

    Yes, some political junkies watched Republicans debating for almost five hours Wednesday. This should be a message to the Democrats. Right now the party is engaged in a fight about whether its schedule of three debates in 2015 is too puny. There are a number of democratic nations in the world where you could easily overcome this argument by pointing out that the election is not until 2016.

    But the American people are fine with more debates. Honest, there can be one every night as long as the American people are not actually forced to watch them. It could be a kind of endurance contest. Last person standing gets the nomination.

    aka, "Much Ado About Nothing" total, utter, complete 100% bull ters.

    Like I said, Gov. Kasich is the one I would vote for and Trump's mouth does not make him a leader.
