I do remember Bernie getting bum rushed off stage by these nudniks. Looks like they're moving into Hitlery's camp. Armies are forming

ok you cannot be serious when you believe he would have such power. He said top 4-5, but even that will be difficult. Hell yeah Id love to see someone with his balls do it, but this is not by far how politics work.

Please, dude, you are too angry. My analogies are extremes, but it is how DC works. Yes, the richest govern, not politicians... But you choos to believe that politicians, money whores, are not coerced by lobbyists, it is your hot potato.

My point was completely lost on you, I wasn't saying that politicians are not corrupt, I was saying that it's possible to be a politician and not be corrupted by big money, i.e. Bernie, Ron Paul

Hillary and Jeb will bring even more big money into the political system if elected.
I love the idea of presidential candidates having to wear patches on their clothing at the debates that tell us where their money is coming from. The more money they get from one corporation, the bigger the patch.
Kinda llike Nascar drivers.

I watched that Bill Maher episode, and the author of your article is completely lying. Maher didn't "slide a dagger" into Bernie; Bill LOVES Bernie. Maher's point was to ensure Bernie explained his positions so that doubters understand. And Bernie responded. In fact, it's a reflection of Bernie's honesty that he said "we may have to tax people a little under the 1%, but not far under."

0.2% for family leave I'll pay. This should have been done a long time ago anyway.
Quote:
When Australia passed a parental leave law in 2010, it left the U.S. as the only industrialized nation not to mandate paid leave for mothers of newborns. Most of the rest of the world has paid maternity leave policies, too; Lesotho, Swaziland and Papua New Guinea are the only other countries that do not. Many countries give new fathers paid time off as well or allow parents to share paid leave.

I'm also ok with a 0.2% tax for that. It shows liberals understand that taxes are required to pay for things. Unlike Bush who started a bunch of new wars while CUTTING taxes. What a moron. Of course the deficit went up.

The thing is, Bernie just reiterates the same fucking shit over and over and over again. I wish he would have actually had a more intellectual/engaging discussion. Democratic Socialism is not at odds with Capitalism really. That should have been better explained. He shouldn't be trying to drive a wedge between these two ideologies.
In the debate Bernie said he is not a Capitalist. Ironically, he is! He is not trying to do away with Capitalism.

Unlike you guys hero obumble who not only started but continued wars he promised to end and ran up the deficit more than any other president. I can't believe you have the nerve to talk about bush and deficits after what your man did.
But of course, none of the liberals ever supported obumble, he must have won on conservative votes.

Like all liberal Presidents before him, he is reversing the Republican trend of deficit growth.
