we Boomers elected these corrupt , immoral presidents, Congressmen, Governors, etc etc. We allowed them to be RE_ELECTED; so why should I be surprised when i hear a MBA from UA & a DR. from Vandy & a CHEMIST from UAB--all in their early 30's say--why should i vote ?? they're all corrupt & will say or do anything to get elected ??

you know--they are right ! we put bentley, Pillossi, Reid, Nixon, Clinton & Obama there--allowed Shelby, Hubbard to get reelected over & over--Im somewhat disgusted with the whole system--

MAYBE BERNIE & HIS SUPPORTERS ARE RIGHT--WHAT HAS THE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM GOTTEN US BESIDE HUGE DEBT, CORRUPTION ??

   I would hate to have some of my old barracks conversations on the front page. Everyone is, I am sure, guilty of this to one degree or another.

   For the media to be sitting on this some 10 years waiting to dump this on Trump at just the most strategic time proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that the media is firmly in bed with the Democrooks! So what if he is a bit salty. At least the man has management ability. Look at what he has done. They say he lost some one half billion. Well,yes, but it was his money and he made it back in spades.

  Hillary lost some six billions at the State Dept. and it was the taxpayer's money. They don't even have a clue where it went! Now tell me , of the two, who do you want to manage our Government. Do you want hoards of Syains poring in shouting, "Allah ak Bar,"as they vote Democrook? Just look at what she sold the State Department for. How much could she sell the presidency for? Will Bill put in a rape room in the White House? The depth of depravity of these two is astonishing! 

I am reminded of the time a comittee of the women's Temperance Movement met with Pres. Lincoln to complain about Gen. Grant's drinking. Lincoln said that if he knew his brand he would send him a barrel. He fights!

We have elected some real losers, but we have also elected a lot of good people who got things done.  We elected people of courage who actually cared about the country, and not about lining their own pockets. We had the chance to stop the jobs from going overseas, but we didn't because we wanted cheap goods  - face it, our generation was about quantity, not quality.  We have  allowed our politicians to spend money our country didn't have and we allowed them to lie to us about every war since WWII.  Some where along the line, we stopped holding our politicians accountable and got tangled up in political correctness and everyone's rights. 

Younger people liked Bernie because he described a utopian future, much like we did when we were young.  But the thing is that young people are just that - young and they haven't lived long enough to understand that there are certain realities that have to be faced.  Every time I heard Bernie throw out another idea, I found myself asking "who will pay for it"?

This summer I got to know a millennial lad quite well. He is the son in law of my friend that passed away in February. He spent time here preparing their house for sale and I helped him a bit. He is college educated engineer.  It was very informative to talk with him and get his generational perspective. I learned to many things to relate them all here but the take away was when he told me his opinion on Bernie. He summed it up nicely by stating he was for all those programs until he got a job and had to start paying for them.
