  • Why are women who like young guys called "cougars" and considered to be "confident" and "sexy"?

    But the male counterpart is often called a pedophile and considered to be creepy and a pervert and just a "dirty old man"

  • Are Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders truly "outsiders"?

    Although Bernie identifies as a socialist, I doubt that he truly believes in government owning the means of production, so he's really not that much different ideologically than other Democrats. He's just selling the same ideas in a different wrapper.

    As far as Trump, in my view, he is not "anti-establishment" as he portrays himself and in all will uphold the status quo in Washington, continuing the interventionist foreign and monetary policies of Obama, thee Bush's, Clinton etc. Set aside the colorful, politically incorrect rhetoric and witty comebacks, just look at the actual policies he espouses. On the Federal Reserve, on war, debt, foreign policy, on civil liberties etc. Donald Trump is no outsider. He is actually an establishment candidate re-packaged to appear more colorful and engaging.

  • Truly, what a marvelous time for the DNC.?

    Having to choose between a corrupt, corporate and K street lapdog behind a plastic smile that s devoid of ethics or a pants-on-head Socialist yakking on about his Scandinavian utopia.

  • Is there really a "debt ceiling" or did it actually dossapear a long time ago?

    As former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan said, "The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default. We can guarantee cash benefits as far out and whatever size you like but we cannot guarantee their purchasing power."

    In other words, the real threat is inflation, not default.

  • Any Dems hope somebody like Dennis Kucinich or Elizabeth Warren runs for president?

    Somebody who isn't a warhawk and a Wall Street/corproate darling like crony career Washington politician Hillary? We all know somebody who is a self proclaimed socialist and war monger too based on his voting record (Bernie Sanders) will never win. But a democrat who actually is for middle, working class Americans and a foreign policy of peace, diplomacy and nonintervention can.

  • Isn't it pretty unbelievable for a president to make such a statement in what is supposed to be a democracy/constitutional republic?

    “We believe this should be done without negotiation, without drama, without delay... No negotiations, period.” - Obama's spokesman Eric Schultz. Obama threatens to veto any debt-ceiling bill with spending cuts

    So who is being unreasonable? Do you agree that Congress shouldn't just give in to everything the President demands? The executive branch doesn't control the purse strings. The legislative branch does. An executive officer does not get to dictate the terms or process by theart of partially shutting down the government.

  • The more people blame the republicans or blame the democrats, don't we seem to forget more and more that both parties are to blame?

    I have been following the Hillary Clinton Benghazi scandal a bit, and honestly, it's sad how people are so easily distracted and divided by partisan finger pointing. The more people point the finger and blame the Republicans or blame the Democrats, the more we forget that BOTH parties are to blame. Both parties still support the disastrous US bombing of Libya that set the stage for the blow-back Benghazi attack. This isn't a Democrat vs Republican issue, this is an issue of the unintended consequences of our interventionist foreign policies that the establishment of both parties have supported. Warhawk Hillary Clinton and her husband have been right in line with the the neo-conservative warhawk members of the Republican party, they all support an interventionist foreign policy of preemptive war, militarism, bombings, regime change, nation building, the military industrial complex, being the policemen of the world and never ending wars with US military bases and a huge US presence all over seas.

  • Is Hillary calling Republicans the "enemy" dangerous?

    I have been a registered Democrat since 1968, and although I have some philosophical differences with Republicans, I do not view them as the enemy, they are the opposition party. It is actually a good thing we have an opposition party in America, and not a single-party state like China, North Korea or Cuba. I have friends and former colleagues who are Republicans, and I certainly don't consider them to be my enemies. This type of party division is what George Washington warned about.

  • Does Bernie Sanders actually believe he can transform the U.S. into a nation like Denmark.?

    As we know Bernie Sanders does not believe in private property, voluntary exchange, individual responsibility, supply & demand, or even the proper definition of the word "right." He loves to talk about Denmark as evidence of his Democratic Socialist utopia working in the U.S. when Denmark is a small, homogeneous nation with an overall upper middle class society. Denmark has an even smaller population than New York City. The USA has a population of about 319 million people, and Bernie wants to grant full amnesty to all illegal aliens and wants to increase the cap of immigrants allowed entry to the U.S. every year. Not to

    mention he wants to expand Medicare, Obamacare and Social Security, a system that's been collapsing for decades now and make it available for illegals. How on earth would that make the U.S. like Denmark or Sweeden? Sounds like it would be more like a nation like Brazil to me. A multiracial and multicultural third world, socialist cesspool. An interventionist state with open borders and huge government programs. A crony corporatist hell for the market where the only businesses that succeed are the ones with connections to corrupt politicians.

  • Why did Hillary go from being a center left/moderate blue dog Democrat, to now running to the left of Bernie Sanders?

    She sure wasn't pushing these far left ideologue ideals back in 2008 when she was up against Obama for the Democratic nomination, or when she was in the Senate or when she was first lady in the 1990s. What's up with her radically changing so many of her positions?

  • Is Hillary Clinton the Democrat version of Mitt Romney?

    Just like Romney, Hillary is a Washington establishment hack, a career crony politician who flip flops and changes her views as long as she knows she will get more support by changing. Both of them have no true political platform. He seems to say whatever he thinks will get him elected.

    She has radically changed her positions on same-sex marriage, guns, immigration, the bailouts, health care, Iraq, taxes etc. etc. Consequently, I have no idea what she believes or if he believes anything. Like Romney, she just seems like a robot who will say anything in order to get elected. In 2008 she ran to the right of Obama, and now in 2015 she's running to the left of Bernie Sanders. She can't even explain what she supported back in the 1990s as first lady or when she was in the Senate because if she did she would lose much of the Democratic base in the primaries.

  • Why hasn t Chip Kelly figured out that DeMarco Murray is a north-south running back?

    Hey Kelly...... Seems that you havent figured out yet that Murray is a north - south running back, not a east - west running back like McCoy was. It s also hard for Murray to get going, when every single time he is starting out 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage standing next to Bradford in the shotgun. This is basic football taught in gradeschool, why dont you get it??? Get you head out of your a$$. This is the NFL!!!!

  • What do you think about Mia Love being voted into congress?

    Oh those misogynistic, sexist, racist bigoted Conservatives have really shown their true colors now. They voted in....a...black...female? What? Republican Mia Love defeated her Democratic opponent Doug Owens in the race to represent Utah's 4th congressional district, the AP reported early Wednesday.

    With that win, Love becomes the first black female Republican elected to Congress.

    Utah's 4th district is currently represented by Rep. Jim Matheson (D), who announced in December 2013 he would not seek re-election. Matheson defeated Love in the 2012 election for the 4th district.
