    Oh, dear. Appears that creepy Uncle Joe has been branded a racist. And may I say, "lol." VP to the first black president and now this. :rolleyes:

    The biggest takeaway for me was this: They boldly state, "we will provide medical coverage to illegal aliens by taxing the American worker MORE!," AND EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE YELLS HOORAY!!! :confused:

    They seem to be very misguided people.

    I watched parts of it and didn't get the idea that it was even intended to be taken seriously.

    @Beth Gallagher
    "Illegal" implies criminals. Thus, expect that after this tidbit of nonsense takes hold, we may expect to provide medical coverage to ALL criminals, lest those others cry "foul".

    Well, of course Democrats don't use the term "illegal alien;" they want to cling to "undocumented" to soften the blows to our intelligence. (I, on the other hand, refuse to refer to them as anything except what they are... illegal.)

    And as far as providing medical coverage to criminals, we already do. At least to the ones who have been incarcerated.

    Well, of course. We can't have those poor blokes a'croakin' for several reasons: litigation by surviving family, the possibility of innocence, and perpetuation of the bloated penal system.

    From the National Review...

    "On the first night of the Democratic debates, Julian Castro made a big issue of his call to repeal Section 1325 of Title 8 of the United States Code, which says it’s a federal crime to enter the country without authorization. This felt like a ploy for attention from the periphery of the second-tier debate stage, yet last night seven out of the ten candidates raised their hands for the idea, including top contenders Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg.


    The collective posture of the party is getting closer and closer to open borders, only without embracing the label."

    Bernie also apparently suggested rotating judges into and out of the Supreme Court. Not only is it blatantly unconstitutional, it would allow someone, probably the President, to demote judges who issued judgements he didn't agree with. Awful is not an adequate word to describe this.

    I believe the statement made was “trans-men” should be allowed abortions. I totally agree with it in that I do believe that men who are seeking to be women should get as pregnant as many times as they wish and get free abortions for each time they are found with child.

    It shouldn't be illegal to break the law.

    From what the DNC has shown us, it isn’t as long as it is them breaking the laws.

    Let's see. Elizabeth Warren wants to pay reparations to the GLBTQRSTUVWXYZ community, and good ole' Joe Biden named four racist Republicans who served in political office, including George Wallace and Strom Thurmond, the only problem being that they were all Democrats, not that the media is going to call him on that, given that they, also, like to pretend that the Democrat Party has not always been the party of racists and bigots.
