The best that can be said about Sunday nights debate between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders is that it was more decorous than the Republican one the previous Thursday. Nothing about anatomy came up. However, things said during the debate were actually more frightening. An example occurred when Bernie Sanders, the venerable socialist from Vermont, said, "When you are white, you dont know what its like to be living in a ghetto, you dont know what its like to be poor.

I’ve got a Flash blocker going which works fine but for the most obnoxious of sites.
Correction: Bernie Sander’s rich liberal white supporters don’t understand what it’s like to be poor.
He’s old enough to remember the domestic side of the peace corps that went into Appalachia in the 60s! So many rich kids (Caroline Kennedy) were forced into the mountains to ‘help’ that poverty-stricken area. From my travels, it still looks damned poor and white.
Well bernie, we do things so that we won’t be poor. I grew up very poor.
My lily white mom was raised by a (drug free) widowed mother who worked when ever there was a job as a maid, but often didn’t have enough money to put food on the table. Does that qualify?
He’ll see to it that EVERYONE knows what it is like to be poor. He doesn’t believe that anyone needs more than $100,000 a year to live. Double income households would be capped at $50,000 per spouse if we follow that thought to its conclusion.
But whites do know how to transfer $22 trillion, not including private charities, over the last 50 years to the poor. Did blacks not get their fair share of this money?
I'm sure there is a reason it doesn't < /sarc>

This BS from a guy that didn’t have a real job until he was around 40 years old?
All while I was finishing my last semester in college back in 1984.
I'm white. Don't tell me I don't know what it's like to be poor.
I damn' sure know what it takes to get out of that situation too and I did it. If I can do it, anyone can.
I use Chrome, too.
I tried AdBlock but found it was heavy and hogged memory.
A Freeper mentioned “uBlockOrigin” - amazing product and much better than AdBlock. Faster and MUCH lighter on memory.
Free and download thru Chrome extensions.

Great story in your posting, SJ! You could probably write a book on how to get by the way you did.
I was in similar straits for a while back in 93. Some was self inflicted but I somehow kept going. There were times the best news I could have gotten was that I had some incurable terminal disease.
In all seriousness, it doesn't count because she did it without government help.
Now all 8 kids have a wonderful work ethic and are all employed.
I’d like to show him the pic of my grandparents when they arrived in the US.
Back when they weren’t letting JUST ANYONE in.
My grandfather had on some dirty wrinkled trousers with a rope around his waist, instead of a belt. They had poverty written all over them.
In one generation THEIR children owned their own homes and put their children through college... with NO fed assistance.
I take that photo out once in a while...It makes me sad and it also makes me proud.
Bernie is a moron
