Not a slur by any stretch-merely pointing out that he sees himself as a socialist and that it's not some label being hoisted on him by Republicans.

Kinda hard to complete full sentences while one hand typing on the run-I hope you'll forgive my grammar. I promise I won't do it again

Hillary overtaken in NH by Bernie Sanders (self proclaimed Socialist)

Justice Dept/FBI to seize Hillarys email server


This is going to get real interesting.

On a side note Bernie's event at the weekend shut down by 2 girls from Black Lives Matter-wonder how he'll fare out dealing with Putin or Iran-LOL

"So the real story wasn't the Republican Presidential Debate?

Why are you posting on the Republican Presidential Debate thread then?"

Ok we'll do this your way.

So you are saying there is no connection between the 18 CEOs on the list and any Republican candidate?

Some of the people on that list are big Democratic donors and huge Hillary supporters


Bout you are not allowed to talk about them, your own rules.  ;D

Former Goldman Sachs CEO, Hank Paulson, was nominated by Bush to be Treasury Secretary. He created TARP.

TARP gave around $700bn to Wall St, including many on that list, and others. To put that amount in context, it was close to the total amount of US dollars in circulation at the time.

You have me completely confused at this point....

You were the one dictating what should and shouldn't be be discussed on a thread about the Republican Debate-Not me (even though you yourself were linking in an article about Bernie Sanders and CEOs who have as many links to Hillary as they do to the Republicans)

The people on that list fund many of the Republican Candidates, therefore they are fair game in a Republican Debate thread. If you want to list them on a Democrat debate thread too, then fine.

You wanted to do the usual Fox News trick and shout that < insert something else> was the real story. i.e. divert attention, decoy, anything but discuss the elephants in the room.

1) Elephant 1 - Donald Trump

You decided to refuse to discuss him.

2) Elephant 2 - Wall St. & their tax contributions

Taxation is a major issue for Republicans. Especially rich ones, like the ones on the list. But no, you suggested this was off topic, while introducing some decoy story that no one bought.

LOL-read your last sentence. "Taxation is a major issue for Republicans. Especially rich ones, like the ones on the list".

Previously you were implying they were Republicans, now your flat out stating it as fact.

Kinda kills your argument dead when many of them are in fact DEMOCRATS

That Scott Walker is such a coward BTW. Does not even have the guts to condemn Trump's comments about women. If it was a Democrat that said those things, he'd be all over it, indignant with "outrage".

Most American politicians are such worms.


Ahhhhh.....the war on women is starting early this cycle.

You have no problem with Trump's comments?

Some of his colleagues for nomination do.

I think this would pretty well sum up my opinion on the matter.

http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/08/08/rubio-wont-comment-on-everything-donald-trump-says/

Seriously?  You cannot express an opinion on what Trump said about various women over the years, most recently Megan Kelly, because... why?? ;D


I watched the debate in its entirety.....Megyn tried to do a hit job on him and he brushed it aside magnificently. Now they're trying to say he said something he never said to keep the "fued" going

Makes for great reality TV, but a non issue IMHO

Trump is a spoiled brat. He fancies himself as brash and smart and ballsy (yeah, its brave calling Rosie O'Donnell a disgusting pig or whatever the actual words were), but when he is called to account on his words, he throws a fit and then exacerbates the situation with a ludicrous slam that she must have been on her period. Magnificent my hole.

And fair play to Megyn Kelly for calling him out on it.

Now if only all politicians could be held accountable for their past words and deeds. We miss you already Jon Stewart!

They didn't land the knock out blow on him on Thursday nights, and now they're trying to gin up some faux outrage at something he didn't even say

He is a candidate. It makes sense for him not to allow questions about Trump to sidetrack his campaign.

Are you running as well? Will questions about Trump sidetrack your campaign?  ;D ;D

Ehhhh.... theres something like 17 candidates running for the Republican nomination.

Am I expected to have an opinion on every statement each one of the 17 makes?

The real story last week was the Planned Parenthood tapes, butlets not worry about that. Lets keep the focus on whether Megyn Kelly was having her period when she tried to torpedo Trump.

So the real story wasn't the Republican Presidential Debate?

Interesting perspective given YOU  just copied and pasted a long blurb about Bernie Sanders into the same thread.

So you've lost that argument then Whitey. ;)


Lost what? LOL

I just realised I was being trolled and decided to troll back

....... at the send of a sentence actually has a meaning you know

"Ellipsis (plural ellipses; from the Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis, "omission" or "falling short") is a series of dots that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word, sentence or whole section from the original text being quoted, and though necessary for syntactical construction, is not necessary for comprehension."
