Clinton, Diamonds and Dem debate

   Question

So I only saw the tail end of the Dem debate, and it was a student asking Clinton the final Q of whether she preferred Diamonds or Pearls.

She said she preferred both to crowd laughter, but I think she bungled the question because I think the student was a anti-diamonds activist. I think she's out of touch to not understand what the question was about.

 

Tiny picture

I lifetime of professional politics 24/7, and she couldn't figure out what the questioner was referring to? 

 

I also saw when Wolfe asked -Just so we’re clear, are we all in favor of abortions?” (The audience went wild) and then he went on to ask each candidate who responded—

Clinton–what are the abortion doctors supposed to do, Wolfe?

Obama–I agree 99% of what senator Clinton said–wait, she just changed her mind? Well, now I agree 99% of what she just said.

Edwards–I have spoken to these aborted babies who told me Roe must live on.

Biden–I wrote the book on abortions and everything in the book was my idea.

Kucinich– I'm not only in favor of abortions but I saw an abortion actually happen...but it was inside a UFO that abducted me in my backyard in the 60's.

Dodd–Bush is evil and hell yea I’m for abortions.

Richardson–I have the most experience here and have actually negotiated many abortions.

 

 

The rest of the debate was just the Democrats imagining all sorts of ways to spend tax payers money.  Wolfie would ask a Q, and they would go in sequence trying to propose more random stuff than the previous answerer. Tax and Spend.

I don't know how many goddamn times I have to say this to people, pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. In fact, I'm anti-abortion. I'd like to see the number of abortions go down. I just don't believe the Government ought to tell people what they can or can't do with their body. Why are you against freedom acroso? Why are you pro-big government?

As for your allusion to diamond mines in Africa... you didn't think we'd forget Regean's proping up of the Apartheid governement did you?

The Apartheid government that banned near-slave diamond miners from talking so they had to form a Morse-code like system to communicate.

 

You're stunningly and embarrassingly full of shit.

Your article doesn't mention the word diamond.

Let's just fast forward this discussion to the point where acroso starts posting pictures of aborted babies.  We all know it's headed there anyway.  Then we can all cry together and move over to his side or whatever he thinks will happen.

I am impressed however that you didn't mention illegal immigrant drivers licenses in there.  So kudos for that.

I posted one animated picture of an abortion, and that was probably over a year ago...

And it wasn't the baby itself it was showing how dilation-extraction worked- a blue and white drawing. I still have the pic it on photobucket I bet.

Not so bad..

"Tax and Spend"

This rings more and more hallow in light of actual fact anymore.  It's getting old and yellowed like black and white prints of Ronald Reagan.

Even if I were to pretend this is all exactly as true as Waterboy Limbaugh loves to claim, what is more honest, "tax and spend", or "spend and pretend no one has to repay the money"?

The Republicans since Reagan are the party of "spend and pretend".  Nobody spends money faster than a Republican, especially if it's on someone else's credit card.
