“If you look at what the Koch brothers agenda is. Look at what many of the extreme right wing people believe. Obamacare is just the tip of the iceberg. These people want to abolish the concept of the minimum wage. They want to privatize the Veterans Administration. They want to privatize Social Security, end Medicare as we know it, massive cuts in Medicaid, wipe out the EPA. You don’t have an Environmental Protection Agency anymore. Department of Energy, gone. Department of Education, gone. That is their agenda, and many people don’t understand it.

Kudos to the Senator, a true Statesman, for calling these sociopaths out.

Kochs on one side.

Soros on the other.

Pretty pathetic that so few people control our government. Even more pathetic that we allow it.

What do they have in common with ron paul?
Are you saying the only consistent voice of non aggression in congress was a sociopath?
If you need a better example of a sociopath look no further than obama who has about 3000 kills under his belt and yet stands in front of the cameras with a toothy grin

This the reason Ted Cruz asked the TP house republicans to move the ACA defunding battle to budget and not debt ceiling as was planned.

Cruz knows America and American business cant affort a DC limit not being raised. There was never any intention of not raising the DC.

All of these partisans are screaming about one or the other side while completely ignoring their own puppet masters.

Yes, the Kochs are the puppet masters.

Bernie knows exactly what he's talking about, a very, very intelligent politician.
