i got your point. it’s very easy to lob baseless insults. a lot harder to tell me i’m wrong when i say that she’s a moron. make fun of me for saying it all day long, but maybe eventually you can tell me why i’m wrong.

A moron is a stupid person. I don't think she's stupid, she graduated with honors from a good university. She's just an inexperienced politician who likely doesn't get the hate machine trying to oppose her.

For 28 she's doing pretty well.

she thinks socialism will work despite its track record, she thinks low unemployment is bad because it means we all work too hard, and she thinks college should be free. she is breathtakingly stupid.

I don't think even Democratic Socialists want Russian style Socialism. The low unemployment remark is really about low wage growth which is real. As for college being free, we do need to innovate here.

i don’t think she wants russian socialism either. but what she wants, can’t work with 300 million people, and even less likely if we had 500 million as she thinks we do.

spare me your apologist bullsh*t, just for once, about what the remark was about. she so dumb, she thinks low unemployment can only be achieved by “everybody working two jobs”, and therefore its bad. and i’m supposed to be impressed that she has an economics degree from BU?

funny, but you aren’t telling anyone that they misinterpreted laura ingrahams comments, her comments are to be taken literally. but when this village idiot puts her foot in her mouth, we should ignore it and focus on what she really meant, which of course is brilliant.

liberal=good, conservative=bad, no exceptions, ever.

Look at what you said here. You need to stop throwing stones. If you think she means low unemployment is bad because it means we all work to hard... then I am not lobbing baseless insults. You just misinterpret what she meant. Maybe if you stopped referring to someone who by all measures (other than a few misstatements as a person in her twenties) appears at least as smart and successful as you, then you open yourself up to it.

she said low unemployment is achieved by people working more than one job. that’s not how it’s calculated. if i take a part time job in addition to my full time job, does the unemployment rate decrease? no, because my employment status hasn’t changed. i was emoyednwhen i had one job, also employed after i take a second job. she thinks that if one person takes all the jobs in the economy, that unemployment is zero. that’s next generation stupidity. it’s not a misstatement. she thinks low unemployment is bad. her words, not mine. oh, and free college!

That is a bunch of rambling you did there. We have already established that she was wrong about how low unemployment is calculated. You say her words, not yours, yet nothing you wrote were her words in any sense. That is just odd. A key statement, actually her words , was “Because we look at these figures and we say, ‘Oh, unemployment is low, everything is fine, right?’ " Her point was that the low numbers make people think everything is fine. She actually said those words. Your implication is that she thinks high unemployment is better. She never said or implied that. She believes, as Dorito Don did until the day after the election, that the unemployment rate can misconstrue people's experiences in the job market.
