he hails from a county with a high domestic violence murder rate, and says this stuff? Really? Sometimes, I wonder if Texas water is polluted with hallucinogens.

Maybe he needs a dose of some wifey whoopass? But wouldn't that be yet another case of domestic violence?

well, certainly this guy is a one-man war on both women and basic common-sense. He will lose the primary, I think, which would be creditable to Dems as a whole, rejecting him.

Yes, you certainly found a democrat you will be safe to criticize.
Try setting the bar at the same height for both sides if you want redemption though.

sadly, I pretty much do. I can deal pretty well with simple incompetence, but it's just the flagrant stupidity I mention.

It’s easy to criticize an idiot, when I hear some criticism of Democratic policy…then I will give some credit.

In my opinion , the concept of "democracy" implies globalization. On the one hand , it's good . But , on the other hand, the United States imposed its own version of democracy to other countries , meaning not democratic values , and the unification of the world with American values . In other words , the current U.S. policy destroys the uniqueness of each country and of each individual nation. U.S. destroys healthy competition based on diversity of identities of other nations.
Quote:
"The Economic Collapse", Global Network - July 5, 2011
"Number One? 20 Not So Good Categories That The United States Leads The World In"
Are the United States number one country in the world? Many Americans are proud of their country , and absolutely true - that the U.S. would give them a large number of reasons for this . The United States - the world's largest economy . The United States - the most powerful on the planet armed forces. In the United States created many of the world's greatest movies. But the United States - as Number One in many positions , which can hardly be called achievements. If we want the good of his country, we must be honest with ourselves . We must look closely at yourself in the mirror and realize that there is nothing good to be Number One divorce and drug addiction, and the debts of obesity on thefts , murders and general crime . We have become inert , greedy , sick country, a country in which everywhere visible signs of progressive degradation. And while we do not understand how deep our problems in reality , we can not find the right gifts for medications to take the necessary decisions.
Many people who write articles like this one, hate America . But with me - this is not the case. I love the United States. I love the American people . America is like an old , flabby rock star , sitting on a dozen different drugs. Today's America - is only a shadow of herself , and she desperately needed to wake up before it will sink into oblivion.
If you do not think that America is in trouble , just read the list below. Next 20 is not too good positions in which the United States has a leading position in the world ....
# 1 The United States has the world's highest percentage of people imprisoned and the world's largest number of inmates .
# 2 According to the " NationMaster.com " in the United States - the world's highest percentage of people who are overweight .
# 3 The United States is far in the lead in the world in the number of divorces .
# 4 The United States and Britain are leading in the number of hours that each person spends watching television per week.
# 5 In the United States - the highest level in the world of drug use .
# 6 In the United States each year is made more car thefts than anywhere else in the world.
# 7 In the United States each year to rape committed more than anywhere else in the world.
# 8 In the United States each year committed more murders than anywhere else in the world.
# 9 The total number of crimes committed per year in the United States than anywhere else in the world .
# 10 In the United States , the number of police and more than anywhere else in the world .
# 11 The United States spends on health care ( as a percentage of GDP ) is much greater than any other country in the world.
# 12 People taking pharmaceutical drugs in the United States more than any other country in the world.
# 13 The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world.
# 14 debts on loans for education above the Americans than anywhere else in the world.
# 15 of pornographic materials in the United States produced more than anywhere else around the globe . 89 percent of pornography is created in the U.S., and only 11 percent - accounted for the rest of the world.
# 16 The United States , every year - the largest trade deficit in the world. Between December 2000 and December 2010 , the trade deficit of the United States amounted to 6.1 trillion dollars, and since 1976 , the U.S. trade balance has been negative every year .
# 17 The United States spends on the military to 7 times more than any other country on the planet. In fact , U.S. military spending is more than the military spending of China, Russia , Japan, India , and the rest of NATO combined.
# 18 The United States has far more foreign military bases than any other country .
# 19 The United States - the most complicated tax system in the world.
# 20 United States accumulated the largest public debt world has ever seen , and the situation is rapidly deteriorating . Right now, the U.S. national debt is increasing at 40 000 $ per second.
So you still think that we all right? "
End of quote.
P.S. Do you really want the same future for the world, as in the U.S.?
I 'm good for Americans , but not to American politics. On the side is very noticeable how distorted view of Americans about other people and their values , to a small group of business elite. In addition, the American elite constantly and unsuccessfully tries to show activity in the international arena to distract the American people from the inability of the elite to solve the pressing issues inside the country.

You insult me or what? Who told you that opinion of American means more than a simple Russian guy opinion, or the opinion of the Syrian guy, or Vietnamese?
P.S. I do not scold America. You did not read. I analyze and try to help America find a way out of this situation. At least by expressing their opinions.

I do not necessarily insult you. It depends on If you understand how much more Russia/Soviet Union has done to impose it's values and to wipe out the unique qualities of other nations than America has.
Even if we accept your laundry list of Americas failures and offenses as accurate, many items on it I am highly sceptical about....but that aside, to have a Russian tell me how America has harmed other countries in a way that his country is clearly the far superior oppressor....well, it provokes the response from me that you received.
Whether or not you are insulted by my pointing out that bitter ironic reality for you is totally dependant on your ability to recognize it....
I offer it as a spontaneous burst of incredulity. You receive it as you will.
Ask yourself this:
How many citizens of sovereign nations have died from a war where American troops have entered that country?
How many days have citizens of those countries spent under the rule of the American government?
Now add up the same numbers for Russia/Soviet Union....
In that contest America is but a baby crawling at the feet of a full grown Russian bear!

Frankly, I thought that maybe you offer his solution to the American problem. To avoid the fate of the U.S. when it is thriving Roman Empire, which is the same as the United States today have completely lost the moral character, steeped in immorality and drowning in debt.

actually, Sigma, little of what you referred to speaks to 'moral character', the debt relative to the size of the economy isn't all that threatening, most of the rest simply reflects the extent of affluence and modern convenience. Now, I would agree that modern Americans are relatively 'soft' compared to our pioneer ancestors, but the question remains as to whether that is in any real way dangerous. You live in a nation with the highest alcoholism rate on the planet, with thieve running your major institutions and little by way of true personal freedom. I know where I'd choose to live, and leave it at that.
