1. K&R.....

2. Too few Dems speaking the way Bernie does. Too few willing to 'go along to get along' even when

they know how things are for the American people.

Bernie is a treasure. Consistent, right on the issues and very impressive in how he delivers his message.

3. K&R X a kazillion!

4. Our priorities are: "Sacrifice all for billionaires." At least, that's how it certainly

appears to me.

6. I only appears that way because that's how it is.

5. K&R! This post should have hundreds of recommendations!

How many military bases do we have overseas now? It is a shit load, I know. Does each one have a golf course? I think they do, if at all practical.

I believe we could cut that MIC spending in half and be just as secure. Maybe more secure. Once we removed the graft and corruption.

Remember, the only thing actually being paid for is Social Security.

7. K & R !!!

8. And yet we hear that this guy is not presidential material.

Would someone please tell me why the following characters are more able to make good decisions for this country? I'll take stuff like good looking, name recognition, experience in WH/State, lotsa bucks, etc. Maybe along with this mini-poll, please give me one or two key actions that these other characters have taken that prove presidential stature (of course, this should be applied to Sen. Sanders, also.)

This list of names was taken from http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/05/2016-election/384828/. I'm sure it missed a few more whackos from many parties.

In the corner on the right:
- George Pataki
- Mike Huckabee
- Ben Carson
- Carly Fiorina
- Marco Rubio
- Rand Paul
- Ted Cruz
- Jeb Bush
- Chris Christie
- Scott Walker
- Rick Santorum
- Rick Perry
- Sarah Palin
- Mitt Romney
- Lindsay Graham
- John Bolton
- Donald Trump
- etc.

And on your left:
- Bernie Sanders
- Joe Biden
- Hillary Clinton
- Jim Webb
- Lincoln Chafee
- Martin O'Malley
- Elizabeth Warren

I'm just personally interested in knowing why these people think they could run the government. Since many of them are running because of prior stupid presidents, maybe they have good clear answers on how their solutions are better.

There must be some independent site that asks these types of questions and vets the answers. Perhaps League of Women Voters?

13. I only see 3 people on that list that are actually on the left.

Just sayin'

9. Bernie is the man

In order for him to win, he has to get the female voters. That's where I'd be putting my time and money.

No one, and I mean NO ONE will equal Bernie. He is a breath for fresh air. Gives us something to look forward to. He gives us hope too. If his policies are put in place, he could make a huge difference to lower and middle class people. After all, isn't that what makes the economies function? Just makes sense to me.

I love Bernie. This guy has stood for everything I and millions support. And he's got the balls to tell it as it is. And no one can equal his honesty. He reminds me a little of Ross Perot, except Bernie has a heart.

I support this guys 100%. I personally think this(he) is our last chance to save the middle class. The oligarchy has to stop. Yesterday would be fine by me, but we have to wait til November 2016.

10. That's why Bernie's my man

11. "Maybe"?

More like "It's way past time to get our priorities right!"

12. If we can't afford to educate our children, to heal our sick or care for our elderly ...

... just what is it the defense budget is defending?

14. Can you please cross post this in General Discussion?
