First Gathering of Old White People

[Adam]

I don't think the 158 families would ever let Sanders become president. 

[Glen]

I think more cons watched the debate than libs, judging by this thread.

[Spirit]

Who (beside Jay) are the Cons? 

[Jay]

the people who pretend not to be cons by asking, "who are the cons?"

[Crampknees]

Jay is a con?  What did you do time for?

[Spirit]

the people who pretend not to be cons by asking, "who are the cons?"

 

 

You think I'm a Con?  

 

Lulz! 

[Crampknees]

Geoff can't be a con.  He voted to legalize polygamy. 

[TobiasFunke]

I want Sanders to be president just so the white power dudes and conspiracy theorists that say the Jews control the government will actually be right for a change.

Let love win! 

[nate]

 

I don't know how anyone can stomach what they are/aren't peddling.

 

mostly because what the other side is peddling is even worse to me.

 

I would never vote for any of these people though.

No way can he be voted for.  He will give all our guns to the nazis and there will be another holocaust. 

[Tank]

ME! ME! ME!

[Tank]

webb had some good answers, but he complained too much (even though he was correct) about how so much attention went to hilary and bernie. he never advertises or gets talked about in the news, and that's a major problem for him.

 

o'malley did okay. seemed composed and articulate. would like to hear more from him. he gets even less coverage than webb. he can't keep going on like he's doing right now. he needs to capitolize on his decent showing last night and get his message out there.

 

chafee looks like a fish out of water. if he's still in this race by this time on friday, you have to question his sanity.

[Rico]

I thought it was Hollywood they controlled.

[TobiasFunke]

It's a lot of things Rico, jeez don't you know anything?

[Tank]

srsly, rico. get in the game, dude!!

 

they control:

hollywood

the media

the liberal media

the international bank

all the delicatessens on the upper west side

[Chris]

Count me in as another Repcon that watched what the libs had to say last night.

[Blarg]

Hillary reminds me of the episode of the Simpsons when Sideshow Bob is running for office and does a bit about how Quimby flips and flops.  Wish I could find a clip of it, and by that I mean I'm too lazy to search and hope somebody else knows what I'm talking about and agrees.

 

I agree.

 

You're too lazy.

[Blarg]

Geoff can't be a con.  He voted to legalize polygamy. 

 

Hey, it wasn't really his fault he was stoned from second hand smoke at the polls.

Can't wait to here what Juan thinks about their statements about capitalism.

Income inequality is a big issue with the left this year. How do they plan on flattening the income curve?

I couldn't find it, but this is pretty good from that same episode:

 

 

And there's this classic:

I'm not sure. I am sure that whatever they propose you will disagree with though.

[juansavage1]

I think the rate is tied to the price of legal pot.

Sanders and Clinton were good. Clinton clearly came out on top.

The other candidates were bad. Lincoln Chafee was awful.

Fifteen dollas an houa !!!

He tries to present it like it's fresh and brilliant but it's just a slogan at this point. Why not $20, $25 per hour? Why is 15 the magic number?

He'll do more harm than good to the economy if elected. But I don't see how he can be elected.

[juansavage1]

Nobody on the Dem side thinks it's a big deal that secret emails were hacked because somebody wanted to illegally protect her political future.

Bernie doesn't have to give Hillary shit about the emails...plenty of people to do that for him. His statement will end up being the big quotable piece from the debate which gives him more exposure and regardless of his point, reminds the public about the emails.

[juansavage1]

The fifties had low crime, intact families, and generally a growing economy. I'm down for that plus the internet.

edit: art, music, and TV comedies were better too.

This is going to be a depressing election. One party trying to relive the Clinton years, the other trying to relive the 1950s.
