Bernie Sanders is THE REAL DEAL

I don't want another politician that pretends to serve the American people while truly serving the 1%, I want a political and president that is THE REAL DEAL and that will not sell us down the river like Obama did and that Hillary would do.

If you propose that, how can I believe anything else you say?

I like Bernie, but that's a big stretch.

Who might be left to throw under the bus?

and then he took it away. Every negotiation started in the middle instead of the left and his appointments might have well been Republicans. He didn't have even one lefty on his staff or in the cabinet. He fooled everyone. The poor basically got Flinted.

proponents for single payer were not even allowed in the room to discuss it. And the public option -- which was a major compromise as at least a step in the right direction -- was also thrown under the bus in favor of mandatory purchase of private healthcare that is too expensive and too limited.

You don't know that is a racist reference?

I'm a Sanders supporter, and I detest your message.

Speaking for reform, was Jim McDermott and of course Bernie.

Spaeking against it was Craig Thomas of Wyoming (a nice man; but practically a non-entity in the Senate), and Hastert "wanna rassle?" the Bastard!
