Is this man the ONLY person 'up there' who is speaking up for the OTHER 99% of us? I think he is.

4. Bernie and Dennis Kucinich in 2012 is what we all need.

5. Welcome to DU!

That team would get my vote. If they won, it would be the first time in decades we had any real leadership.

[NorthCarolina]

11. I can agree with that; and welcome to DU! nt

[Tushon]

9. Community health centers

This was the hope that was dangled at the very end of the worst health care deal that we ended up with. "Well you don't get a public option, but there is money for community health centers."

Where are the DLC and blue dog jerks that first told me that by taking single payer of the table we would get a public option? Where are those same jerks that told me that to get the public option we would take it off the table and then somehow get it by playing 17 dimension romulan chess with the republicans? Where are they now that this little concessionary crumb is now being stripped to nothing?

I will NEVER believe a blue dog or DLC person again, or anyone that defends them, spits out their talking points, or fronts for them in any way. In my mind you are as bad as the republicans for what you have done.

[NorthCarolina]

10. It's telling that America's best Senator is neither a Democrat or a Republican. nt

[MissDeeds]

27. Yep

And it's telling that he is more willing to fight for Democratic ideals than a lot of Dems in DC.

13. He is my write-in candidate for President!

[ProfessionalLeftist]

23. He may be mine (n/t)

[Jefferson23]

15. I love this guy, thanks Bernie and keep speaking out. n/t

[Stumbler]

16. Run, Bernie, run

... for an even higher office!

[go west young man]

17. It can easily be argued these days that our military is literally

killing us. With 25%of the budget spent on the war machine
there is very little being done within our social structure. People
are dying at home and our military keeps sucking up the dollars
that could save them.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

22. You won't get any argument from me about that.

It's ridiculous what we spend on freaking war (ie: MIC corprat welfare).

[SusanaMontana41]

18. He's not the only one speaking for us. We need more. I loves me some Bernie. n/t

[florida08]

19. I'm afraid he is

No one is as outspoken publically and fights with the vigor of Senator Bernie Sanders. I only remember HIM speaking the majority of time the day he did a somewhat filibuster..and still remained and chaired after that. What a fighter he is.

24. People were asking were the defenders of the 99% were

here's one, and there are a few more.

Here's what the Republicans want:
