I know socialism is a dirty word around here. And I'm not a socialism supporter per se. However if you listen to what the man says and his reasoning with an open mind, it doesn't sound that bad. Besides, this is my 11th presidential election I'll be voting in. ALL candidates make claims for what they will do as if they are running for KIng instead of President. Most of it they couldn't do even if they wanted to. (500.000.000 solar panels OR read my lips, no new taxes for example). I prefer to look at their record. What in Bernie's record indicates he has done "socialist" things that have hurt the country? I've pointed out some things in his record that I think are good. What IN HIS RECORD has be done that has been harmful to the country.

I don't know. I just know that he didn't vote for the Patriot Act and his reasons as he tells it unlike Clinton, McCain, Santorum, and Lieberman among many others. And, I'm not so sure I agree with your assessment. Do you have any proof of this?

Why? Tell me why. I told you why I don't think he is. Get over the "Socialism" thing. He can't get rid of the banks or make college free. He might want to, but he can't. But the decisions he does have control to make, he makes decent choices. Was the Patriot Act a good idea? How's the war in Iraq going? Outsourcing jobs to countries that pay workers pennies an hour working out good for us too?

In Bernies's career he has voted on many things. 4 of the most important ones, history has shown him to be right IMHO. 1. Voted against NAFTA. 2. Voted against CAFTA. 3. Voted against the Patriot Act. 4. Voted against Iraq War. Yes, he's the nut?

Bernie voted against the Patriot Act because he doesn't think its necessary to violate citizens privacy and freedom to protect us from terrorism. Something to think about ...

No, this opinion is the lamest thing. Sure we'd all rather have TDs, but points is points. We beat the Packers last year in large part due to FGs. We won 21 - 13 with the help of 4FGs. We would have lost the game without them. Not worth the Shout song? And if they did do away with Shout after FGs would you prefer to listen to commercials? That's what they do in Seattle where they don't have a song. It ain't broke

Maybe because it's not football season yet?

I don't know, Merriam Webster dictionary defines viable as "capable of existence and development as an independent unit". A person on life support cannot exist as an independent unit. Perhaps it's a similar deal since Jahi's parents will decide. But then again, maybe they won't.

I was just making an observation, not setting up a "strawman". And, how exactly does "right-to-die" tie into "viablility"? Please be specific.

We keep un-viable people alive every day in hospitals. Are people hooked up to feeding tubes, dialisys, and IVs viable? What about when they do heart surgery and take one's heart out. At that point are they still viable?

What about "speaking jive" in Airplane?

I have no idea what their record will be, but it will be 0-2 vs the Bills this year regardless who is under center.

A competitive team in '15/'16 that is between 10th and 12th is either VERY close to playoffs or in playoffs if #10. So you'd be OK and think we're "on course" if we do the same the following year? I think we need playoffs THIS YEAR, or my grade (B) goes down.

Anyone want to compare the state of the economy now vs the day Barack took office? I agree with Chef Jim however that president doesn't have all that much control of the economy just as a QB has little effect on how his team plays defense. Bill Clinton just squirreled out that the internet was exploding on the scene while he was in office for example. No, this is because Barack is a socialist.

Come on birddog1960, don't try to confuse us with facts.

I don't do hockey so I didn't submit a grade for the Sabres. For Bills I gave a B. First winning season in 10 years. Hiring Rex. It's a good start. Better than avg since we finished in the top 1/2 of the league. No playoffs, no A however.

What happened to the van?

Since he plays for the Jets, I hope he does fell his drug test.

A friend of mine was telling me that the NY Times story on the Clinton eMail thing has been debunked. So I did a little research. I found this article on Newsweek date July 24: http://www.newsweek.com/hillary-clinton-new-york-times-emails-357246 One thing the author mentions I have not seen before. The first bolded part I'm not so sure about. I thought a big part of this was that since she used her own server this stuff wasn't captured. From a technical perspective I suppose this is possible somehow but not sure how. Part of Hillary's excuse was that she always copied in someone with a government account so it would be captured. (Except when she didn't want it captured of course.) The second bolded part I thought they were getting them from the 10 yard high stack of hard copy she had sent them. Did they only capture the ones that didn't involve planning Chelsea's wedding or her Mom's funeral? Why did she need to provide the emails if they already had them? I've been following this story in part because I have professional email, records, and document management experience and find it amazing the way the IT department in DC works. But this the first time I've heard this. Anyone else know anything about the 2 bolded parts above?

Not nearly as !@#$ed as we'll be if it comes down to Bush vs. Clinton.

True. Or both. My money's on both.

This my favorite one. The Hillary defender kept trying to dodge the real issue with "Colin Powell did it too.", " We're not email management experts", and my favorite which she asked twice, "I wonder how high it would be if we stacked 55,000 pieces of paper on top of each other?" Answer: 10 yards ( since this a football site I chose yards instead of feet. ). If she really wanted to know its not hard to figure out. A quick Yahoo search found this site by document management experts says 150 pages per inch. http://www.paper-scanning-services.com/how-much-paper-do-i-have.html 3rd grade math from there. I wonder how tall is the stack of the ones she DIDN'T turn over? Turning over email on hard copy is just another way to skirt the process. A dump of the emails from the server would contain the header information which would contain a lot more info about how the email was sent and its path through the internet. Electronic emails would also allow for quick searching. Better to make 'em have to scan 'em in and full text index 'em first buying more time and providing less information.

This whole thing has turned into a white herring. Bernie has the right idea on the perpetual war thing AND he hates this if you want to run for Prez you need to suck up to big donors and have a well endowed SUPER PAC thing as much as I do. Go Bernie!

Bernie > Hillary IMHO. But it's early.

Back to your go to argument I see. Name calling. Always worked in grammar school. No reason it shouldn't work on PPP either.
