Why Is It That Il Feel That Bernie Is Sincere And Genuine With What He Believes And Says And.....

Hillary seems insincere and disingenuous just going through the motions because that's what the focus groups say the people want to hear?

And you mean to tell me that the American People have a better knowledge of O'Malley than Bernie? Other than his name - I know nothing about O'Malley.

We all have our different paradigms. It doesn't mean we see things as they are and it doesn't mean we don't. It could go either way.

Some I think we can agree do not describe our world in any meaningful way.

He is exactly what he says he is and has proved it his entire life. No focus groups, no triangulating. He speaks from his head and heart. Like Popeye, he yam what he yam and that's all he yam.

As far as Hillary goes, she has been working all her adult life on issues for the disadvantaged and the powerless.
Starting as an intern for a civil rights lawyer, then the Children's Defense Fund. She was the director of the legal aid fund at the University of Arkansas. She has worked for better health care for all including the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).

Her work on women's issues is unmatched. I could write paragraphs about her work in this area.

As Senator, she introduced bills to increase the minimum wage 5 times, she voted against Bush's tax cuts, voted against Alito and Roberts....
