The CNN Democrat Debate

I watched the debate tonight -- until I fell asleep.

Listening to those three you'd think America was the sorriest damn place to live on Earth.

For the first hour they talked about nothing that should be the concern of the federal government. But that might be because CNN was asking the questions.

Hillary wants to mandate that everyone purchases health insurance. John-Boy wants to mandate that every military veteran sleeping under bridges purchases a home.

Barack wants to put a branch bank in every community. I'm sorry Barack, but there are no corners left in my town for another bank. With a population of about 20,000 it has about 20 banks and branches. Is there really a shortage of banks in some parts of the country?

Barack said that by the time we're through in Iraq we will have spent two trillion dollars. He said that is enough money to rebuild every road, bridge and hospital in America. But what about the banks, Barack? Don't forget the banks.

John-Boy said that he grew up in small towns all across the South. I don't remember his stint in my town.

He reminded us again that his father worked in a mill. His own rags to riches story underscores his lack of confidence in the ability of others to succeed on their own initiative with family support. Oh, that's right. A lot of people today don't have families.

All three of them obviously think most Americans are completely incompetent and irresponsible. They just cannot survive on their own amongst all those rich people. Damn those rich people! How did they manage to get so rich anyway? (Perhaps by selling books and suing other rich people?)
