1. Sanders is one of the few truth tellers in DC. K&R nt

[whathehell]

2. Is anyone finding it creepy that Obama would "bargain" away benefits to Seniors AND Disabled Vets?

That he would CUT benefits to Seniors, Disabled vets and their families

when these do NOT drive the deficit, as even Ronald Reagan admitted?

This is our "democratic" president?

4. Creepy?

That would be too nice a descriptor. Our lead man is Romney Lite. I confess I voted for him as the lesser of evils - not some sort of standard bearer for the middle class.

7. Yeah, well, whatever..I haven't been here for awhile, but I'm surprised at not seeing more outcry.

I feel much the same as you do about him.

I believe he's a moderate repug, not a dem,

and I've thought it for some time, though I didn't think he'd have the absolute gall to go

after the Big Three.

How do you think this will play out?

Will the house and senate dems go with this?

3. Bullshit

"reason" with this president? About what? Let's hear about the TPP. Why aren't we???

What would it matter WHERE the corporate tax rate is???? No matter WHERE it's at - those slimy suckers aren't gonna pay one thin dime. Hell - make it 100% - it doesn't matter.

5. I've been asking about SS benefits getting clipped since the 2008 primaries

I keep getting assured I should just relax and I hope that is the case. But I'm glad for Senator Sanders and proud to have supported him in the past.

8. Sanders and exposing the truth don't seem to generate much traffic here on DU.

Funny, I thought this was supposed to be a site for Progressive Democrats. Something isn't adding up quite right.
