6. Just heard him . My hero.

My brother in law just said he remembers when Sanders was considered a socialist I guess socialists are the only ones who reallycare about the middle class.

[Dhalgren]

7. He's still a Socialist, isn't he? I have always greatly admired Sanders...

[CherylK]

9. Aren't most progressives called "socialist"

by some people these days?

"Socialized medicine" is the latest example tossed around.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

11. "Socialized Medicine" as opposed to what?

Unsocial medicine?
Sociopathic medicine?
Whatever it is that Bush & co want to stick to the rest of us.

[CherylK]

12. You'd have to ask them that

"corpratized medicine"?

[Jane Austin]

8. Um, he's not a Democrat -

so wouldn't have given the Democratic response to the SOTU, I think.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

10. Oh Details Shmeetails. This Is "Democratic We Think In Terms Of Perfect World Idealism Underground"

didn'tcha know?

Reality has no place here.

[Xipe Totec]

13. I didn't expect to need the sarcasm smiley...

My point is that the real Democratic response last night was bland, insipid, and narcotic.

[JNelson6563]

17. Olympia Snowe, playing the Al Qaeda card as a threat for FISA--for some reason, the

Repub leadership is really cracking the whip on the GOP Senate on FISA and immunity for telecoms. I wonder why this is so important to them?
