Did I infer a "smear"? no I did not. At any point in the OP was it stated that Mr. Sanders

complained about the rigors of campaigning? Has he done so? No, no, and no. I simply used your own inane statement to show how senseless it was. Where in the world did you come up with the thought that Bernie was somehow making an issue of the taxing nature of running for president? It's a long way to the primaries and if you keep throwing those victim cards down over nothing you'll run out before the first caucus... pitiful.

WOW! Now that's an unequivocal refutation of the TPP if I've ever heard one....

I bet her handlers at Goldman Sachs have been working on this for weeks! Now that I know she really, truly, cross-her heart and hope to die is a FIGHTER for the Middle Class, I can abandon the socialist, what's his name again?, and ride the Hillary Train to Third Way Junction!

The septuagenarian socialist CAN'T WIN!!!!! Only HRC can beat the meanies in the GOP Clown Car!

When will Bubba opine that Sander's agenda reminds him of Stalin's? When will somebody from HRC's campaign drop the anti-semite card? You know it's coming. I think HRC's kickoff had to be disappointing for them. 5500 folks is nothing to sneeze at but in NYC it's far from impressive. I believe Mr. Sanders is gonna win this! We must do all we can to make that happen. He himself repeatedly warns us that it will take a MOVEMENT to make real change. I've offered to do whatever they ask me to to realize a President Sanders. Please go to his site and volunteer. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

I wouldn't hold my breath...

Her silence on this crucial issue is DEAFENING.

There's a big difference between earning a vote or getting one by default.

I've been a registered independent for over 20 years. I registered as a Democrat in 08 to work on President Obama's campaign. Any candidate must earn my support. Being "next in line" or "inevitable" does not earn my vote. Talking about the evils of Wall Street while filling your war chest with piles of their cash does not earn my vote. Being unwilling to take a stand on TTP does not earn my vote. While I may vote for HRC if she's the nominee I'll do so under duress at the thought of the alternative. This is no way to start a movement or win the White House. I will not phone-bank or travel to other states on my own dime to knock doors for HRC. I will not donate any money to her campaign (Goldman Sachs has that covered) I did all of those things to help get President Obama elected because he inspired me to do so. HRC inspires no such feelings in me. She only inspires dread that once again we will end up with one of the two candidates the Corporate/Media powers that be give us. I'm through with Business As Usual so if HRC wins the White house (which I seriously doubt she can) she may do it with my vote but she will not get my support. There is a HUGE difference. I believe you'll find that many progressives feel the same way and that HRC will not inspire the same grass-roots movement that helped President Obama win the White House. This is why I truly believe HRC cannot win the White House and it scares the hell out of me that she may win the Democratic Nomination. I have two young children and I want to see them grow up in a progressive "Sanders" version of America as opposed to a wall-street determined "Clinton" version.

"you sound like Rush..patriot..lol"

Do you know how silly you sound?.......Attention DUers: if you disagree with the all-knowing stonecutter 357 by using a commonly accepted term to describe Democrats who sound and act a whole lot like Republicans you are a silly unpatriotic Rush clone.... duly noted.

Do you realize how clueless it is for Hillary's logo to have a red arrow that points to the right?

Mrs. Clinton is the very definition of "Third Way". That's not silly it's sad.

June 10, 2015

Possibly because the "Third Way" democrats who've run the party into the ground are a wholly-owned

Wall Street entity?......... I don't care if he calls himself a Vulcan. He's got my vote.
