BOGgers for Bernie

I'm curious if there is a lot of support for Bernie Sanders among current supporters of President Obama. I know I plan on supporting Sanders as long as he stays in the race. Yes I know Sanders and Obama differ on several issues. I'm OK with that.

And like him, in the end, if he is not the nominee, I will vote Dem in 2016.

Every other option will lead to a Libertarian or Bircher hell that will not end in our lifetimes or that of our children. All of them do, no matter what they call themselves.

Time is not on our side in this, and winning majorities in the state legislatures are important. What the GOP is doing now is courting their vote (the Koch, Adelson, etc.) paid for in dollars, assets and access. That is all one needs to know how grave this situation is, by checking out their plans. They have not hidden what they intend to do.

The GOP Kochroaches intend to have their Article V convention and subvert the national process, and destroy it wholesale. We cannot afford to let ego get in the way of their establishing fiefdoms.

Vitriol and nitpicking will not help. For those who will not vote if their dream candidate does not get the nod, their declared actions border the criminal. In essence, they have chosen Libertarianism default.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]In the end, I'll enthusiastically support whoever the Democratic nominee is. Until the convention in 2016, when that choice is made, I'm with Bernie all the way.
