He fought against auditing the Fed. He is as bad as anyone. He just claims he isn't.

Sen. Sanders did cast the deciding vote for the ACA , Obamacare, back in 2010.

If you like that program, he deserves the credit out of those who are in the running now.

Which would you folks prefer? Clinton or Sanders? Because I haven't seen polling numbers that suggest a republican can win yet.

Clinton is a corporate shill. I'm hoping for Bernie

Most educated people, like myself, are far from indoctrinated. We know, however, the the FOX News crowd calls Bernie a "Wingnut" while thinking Ted Cruz is the normal one. Indoctrination illustrated and on display.

What does that say about the intellect of this country?

I don't. At that I at least respect Dennis Kucenich more for his vote. At least he was honest and said it was a bad plan but he had little choice but vote for it.

Dennis and Sanders both said they were for Universal Health care. At least Dennis said Obamacare was little more than a corporate give away.

I heard Bernie today. He was claiming a country where the top 1% have more than the bottom 90% is a rather bad idea.

What a wingnut!!!!

Conservatives are happy to have Obama in office as opposed to someone like Bernie Sanders or Liz Warren. Also, Look at how the GOP base and FOX News slandered and ignored Ron Paul during 2008 and 2012. Even Nostradamus himself, Dick Morris, stated that Obama is nowhere near as "radical" as Ron Paul. They didn't want Paul anywhere near the nomination.

You can always tell just how scared the GOP is about certain candidates when the guy they've been trained to hate (Obama) is always preferable over some of the other choices.

Between here and the news sites on FB I get....republicans are freaking out over Sanders running...why? Hillary obviously is an easy target....Sanders not so much...they paint him as a communist which just shows ignorance in knowing the difference between a communist and a democratic socialist. Is it because young people will vote for Sanders in droves because they are the ones most harmed by establishment republican and democrat candidates policies? What is it republicans? And of course all I get usually is they aren't scared they are just making fun of him....I don't see it that way....starting numerous threads,replying over and over to a article or thread about a guy you don't even like....that says you are scared of him...

In all honesty....I could see the koch brothers funding Hillary during her primary. Sanders would terrify folks like them.
