All in the Bag for the Old Bag - Democrats Lest the Democrat Party for the Socialists

And why not lie some more about the Global Warming Hoax? m/r

The Alpha Female of a Beta-Male Debate :: SteynOnline

~As for the candidates' debate:

Inside Info from the Checkout Stand
Lincoln Chafee, explaining why he used to be a Republican and is now a Democrat, dusted off the old line "I didn't leave the party, the party left me." Nobody asked Bernie Sanders why an "independent socialist" who's never been a Democrat is running in the Democrat primary, but he could just as easily have said: "I didn't join the party, the party joined me." Last night the Democrats presented themselves an an openly left-wing party, to whose base Bernie's honeymoon in the Soviet Union appears far less eccentric than Jim Webb doing his Scoop Jackson routine 40 years too late. Bernie thinks we should be more like Denmark, Sweden and Norway - just debt ridden and with more race riots. As far as I can recall, the most pressing priority for the Democrats is free parental leave for illegal immigrants if they happen to have an anchor baby while enjoying their free college tuition. Insofar as foreign policy raised its head, it was something to be avoided at all costs. While crazy
right-wing nutjobs worry about footling peripheral trifles like Isis, Putin, and Iranian nukes, smart Democrats are focused on the real global threat of "climate change", which is why they're committed to investing in wind-driven fax machines for all Obamacare sign-ups by 2020.

Bizarre as these concerns might strike one or two of us, it's where Democrats want to be, which is why Jim Webb is wasting his time even running. It was interesting to me how the Dems' single-digit losers - Webb, Chafee, Martin O'Malley - were so incoherent and unimpressive compared to the GOP's single-digit losers - Jindal, Graham, Santorum, even (God help us) Pataki. Last night, to justify their continued presence in the race, one of these guys had to lay a glove on Hillary. Instead, they all wimped out. Tonally, the sub-text of the debate was that these fellows were too scared of her to challenge her: They communicated only their subservience.

I often quote the British SAS motto "Who Dares Wins". Hillary dared - she dared these beta-male "progressives" to get in her face - and they all wimped out. So she wins. ...
