But, Look at Bernie and how he Stays on Message! Even Snuffy, who worked for the Clintons couldn't find a way to go after him!

And these wild accusations only gives him a chance to point to his record, not somewhere else . I like the skewed poll Wallstreet/msnbc/G.E. 91% to 3% , no shame george .

He is on target and is unflappable. The man is a breath of fresh air, solid as granite and honest as the day is long. Actually cares about us and the planet we leave future generations.
I don't understand how it is he's not in the 90% range right now.

I get the distinct impression that MSNBC has reined in Big Ed's enthusiasm for Bernie. The corporate media appears to be very concerned about the candidacy of Bernie Sanders.

These people don't know the meaning of fair play. They do know if they don't ramp up their dirty tricks before the American people get to know Bernie Sanders they will end up attending his inauguration.

He has his shit together.


And he was a long distance runner. That's such a big deal. Cardiovascular fitness gives clarity of mind.

I just hope a Sanders presidency isn't hampered by a Bush/Reagan economy.

I'd say he's odds-on favorite in NH.... barring unexpected developments; and better than even for the nomination.

The opposition is a mile wide and an inch deep. A set of position papers with a familiar face attached to it.

It's gonna go down faster than the Lusitania.

different. They are at what I call the Popeye Point - they've had all they can stands and they can't stands no more. They want to hear someone talk sense to them in a straightforward way, not babble on in politicalese. And that is just what Bernie does.

I would ask Hillary supporters, in THEORY even, what is the next "sensible, incremental step" that brings us from a system where we have to sign up with for-profit private health insurance companies to a government run, non-for-profit, single payer health care system like the rest of the world?

for a long time. He appeals to me as a far left Democrat. He appeals to Independents who by the way are now leaning left instead of right in 2004-2008. He appeals a whole lot to people who have never been politically active. I was at the Pride Festival all weekend and he has overwhelming support of the LGBT community and it was a beautiful thing to behold watching our support for Bernie swell into the thousands who will be knocking on doors for Bernie.

It's a ridiculous right-wing, nonsensical meme. It is possible to give to the Clinton Foundation for good reasons by the way. It is a charity.

Really lame.

If he had acknowledged that he had it would give viewers a picture of his political positions when he interviews candidates for President.

Not my fault or the RW....It's a fact.
