The Middle Class and Women: Bernie Sanders is listening. Connecting. Speaking on their behalf.

Source of Hillary quote: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251571959

Don't get me wrong. I greatly admire Hillary Clinton and will vote for her if she's the nominee. And I think she'll be a great champion for women. As will Bernie Sanders. The difference for me is Ms. Clinton's unwavering support of corporations and Wall St and their unwavering support for her, as well as her and her husband's past records on some important issues - like trade and Wall St. reform - prosecuting Wall St. criminals and restoring Glass-Steagall or other laws that break up "too big to fail" big banks and separates stock speculation from banking. That's just two issues. There are others.

Bernie Sanders has made a conscious effort NOT to talk about Hillary and he has stated in no uncertain terms why. The ONLY time he mentions her is when the MEDIA brings her up and they do so EVERY TIME they interview Sanders, trying to egg him on to attack her. The only interviewer who I believe didn't mention Hillary to him was Ed Schultz (whose show has been trashed by MSNBC now, predictably).

So I think the statement that "every other candidate wants to talk about Hillary" is horse puckey. Bernie Sanders has been very clear that he DOES. NOT. want to talk about Hillary! He wants to talk about the issues that are of most concern to the anemic and on-its-death-bed middle class - NOT Hillary Clinton!

1. I make phone calls for Bernie, and without exception only the uninformed or apathetic hang up after,

I tell them Who the call is for.

4. I love Sanders people. It makes this old dem gal feel hopeful. You are loved. Remember that.

by the way, I write that on every piece of paper money I get.

"Remember, you are loved."

I got that on a dollar bill one time when i REALLY, REALLY needed it. Someone out there who will never know it touched me when i really needed it. I never forgot that and I do it for someone else who will never know me. That is how I feel as well about Sanders and Sanders people.
