WWII Vet OWNS Town Hall Meeting (video)
http://www.buzzfeed.com/sheria/im-ticked-off-from-sen-bernie-sanders-town-hal-4fm4

'The venerable Senator (and Occupy Wall Street supporter) Bernie Sanders held a town hall meeting at a Vermont high school last weekend, where World War II Veteran Verne McGrew stole the show. Listen to the kind man's wise words.'

The Best Bits:

"I'm tired of this privatization...just wait another ten years. You won't have anything."

"Why doesn't this country vote on Saturdays?"

"Things have got to change or we're going to be an absolute third-world country, with a big military, and with very few up here running it."

Bravo, Sir. Bravo.

2. Why couldn't this be at some repub town hall
giving him/her an earful? We'd expect to hear this at one of our town halls.

4. Because repubs don't allow us into their town hall
meetings or rallys. Did you forget how they escort people out if they are wearing the wrong tee shirt or have the wrong bumper sticker on their car?

5. No
I meant a repub finally seeing the light and bitching about it. Some did at Ryan's town hall, some of the old repubs around here are having light bulb moments.
