I love Bernie Sanders. He and Dennis Kucinich are my favorites. Did you hear Bernie's speech today?

3. Kucinich/Sanders '12 Take Back America!
How about we start plugging them for the NEXT election??? If we still have a country left. They are the only ones who have any real plan for WE THE PEOPLE, and not them the corporations.

4. Sanders' speech was great; an Independent & "Democratic Socialist" from VT
He combined a good idea -- his amendment was a 10% tax on millionaires, which would produce $300 billion --
with a short, accurate analysis of how we got into this situation.

I was really impressed.

I didn't follow what happened to his amendment. I guess it was voted down. Maybe Kucinich will introduce it in House...

5. The Sanders amendment was dead on arrival.
But, I agree that he made a great deal of sense..and Kucinich, too. I suppose that is the reason they're ignored by the powers that be. They just don't play the game like they're supposed to. They both entirely too rational.
