OP
SheenaR
(2,052 posts)1. I will not support
anyone who is beholden to "Big Mail".
berniepdx420
(1,784 posts)2. ? would you please elaborate
Sarcasm... Bernie got two donations from the Postal Workers. Being facetious.
senz
(11,945 posts)4. I'm sure she's joking.
Bernie cares about the post office.
MisterP
(23,730 posts)9. of course Clinton cares about USPS
it'd make a great portfolio once sold off
senz
(11,945 posts)7. Apologies to my atheist friends
most of whom are better "Christians" than those who call themselves "Christians," but Jesus could have sized up the lists in the OP perfectly:
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:21
(For anybody who's interested, Matthew 5, 6, and 7 are overflowing with wisdom.)
senz
(11,945 posts)8. Doubtful that Bernie's opponents will contribute b/c they need to keep facts hidden.
They don't want anybody looking too closely at Hillary.

(51,076 posts)10. Unions
Bernie
The best thing that ever happened to the working people is our Unions.
Hillary and rMoney
