Hell Freaking Yes!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

1. The Clinton campaign and the media wouldn't know what truth was even if they fell over it

[Phlem]

4. I would lean more towards they are

not in the *Business* of telling the truth. The mentality is, " you don't run a country by telling the truth all the time." and " You don't get high ratings and top dollar by telling the truth all the time."

Maybe vice versa but somewhere in that general vicinity. It's all about control.

[Ed Suspicious]

6. They're so Machiavellian, the Clinton machine. Makes me sick.

[Phlem]

15. Really if you think about it, it's a marketing campaign and

Hillary as President is the product.

There hasn't been ethics in business for decades, it's all about the bottom line so the person on top wins.

I present to you the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign.

[bvf]

23. What gets me is that

the general public has become so used to being lied to that a large percentage just tunes it out, sits out elections, but still gets up enough energy to crab about it whenever it gets fucked over, which is pretty much the constant picture nowadays.

Obama's tried to change that, and, with some big exceptions, I give him a lot of credit.

As for Hillary, she can be found in the toiletries aisle with the eleven kinds of Crest toothpaste. You're right.

[davidpdx]

54. I disagree with you on ethics in business as a business guy

Sure, most companies don't care a damn. But look at companies like Costco that have progressive policies (I'm not saying they are perfect, but they are a hell of a lot better than most).

[Phlem]

55. and also far and few in the scope of all things.

I believe if you put the employee first, it pays off in spades. Then I got into tech.

Costco is a great company and I purchase things from there monthly. Best 1% milk you can find. Mostly I support them because of what they've accomplished.

I've just gotten used to the "Bottom line mentality" exacerbated by the "Mormons" that ran the last company I was employed at. Fucking crooks.

I've been in business for a long time and I've seen very little to get too excited about.

The best times were in the past but I don't believe for one moment it's permanent.

We are meant to plant the seed of a tree we'll never see bloom. That's why I've started my own business and my little girl will damn well see the fruits of my labor.

Oh wait she already has because I've been there 98% of her life because I work from home.

I've been in management, I've done the dirty.

Not anymore.

[RiffRandell]

12. Politics is a business to them.

Hey, I will vote for the Dem candidate in the GE, but I love Bernie.

He is what this country needs.

Badly!

[Phlem]

16. Absolutely it's business, and our politicians are

Employees to the 1%.

[nxylas]

30. Sociopaths often lie pathologically

Even when there's no real reason for them to do so.

[nolabels]

32. Everybody lies, tells half truths or uses omission to try to fool people

Just like there is another word, not an exact word but one that mostly fits. It describes what is being done instead of the label. It describes the person by the action, the term 'USER'. Maybe from a time when we younger and didn't need a clinical definition to ones psychology. One knows when another is a USER and or is being used. When it becomes habitual and dysfunctional in a life then the real disgust sets in.

Take the use of one's own daughter, to use her like a tool to try and further one's professional political goal using dishonesty. That is being used and the more simpler idea of USER comes to mind.

14. You can bet they know the truth, they just cant stand it and wont admit it until they have to

[appalachiablue]

2. K & R Veritas

Thanks for the rec!

[Uncle Joe]

17. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, RiffRandell.

[RiffRandell]

27. Very welcome!

Just glad I could share as it is the 'truth'!

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. Bernie just confirms what everyone was thinking, but couldn't prove: OUR GOVERNMENT AND WALL ST.

are CORRUPT to the core. Politicians are bought and paid for. They work for the Corporations who bought them. They don't work for us. Like Bernie says, Congress doesn't regulate Wall St., Wall St. regulates Congress.

Everyone in this country knew they were all corrupt (except a small handful), but could never prove it - Bernie confirms everything we all thought! He says it out loud, on TeeVee, for the world to hear. What politician has ever had the nerve to do that? NO ONE. People admire and respect a truth-teller.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[RiffRandell]

28. Great post!

Thank you!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. So who is Hillary going to get to lie for her next?

[Green Forest]

22. The four female Senators headed for Iowa this weekend are no doubt rehearsing their lies right now.

"The only female senator in the party to not endorse Clinton is Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), who plays an important role within the party's progressive base.

Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, will also join the campaign on Saturday in Iowa, although she will not be appearing at events with the senators."

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/dem-primaries/265400-dem-senators-to-hit-stump-for-clinton-in-iowa

They will be spelling Chelsea.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. INDEED.

[tex-wyo-dem]

21. Hell yeah!

The People aren't stupid and know authenticity and the truth when they hear it.

The main reason I got on Bernie's wagon early...agree or disagree with him, the guy truly believes what he says and speaks from the heart. He has the best interests of the majority of us and has a huge heart!

[RiffRandell]

25. You got it!

I waited for a bit and then realized this is our only hope to get this country on the economic train of income equality.

Thanks!

[bvf]

24. Why hasn't this *blown up* the rec counter yet??

K&R!

[RiffRandell]

26. Don't care, but thank you!

[Enthusiast]

29. Kicked and recommended to the Max!

[hifiguy]

46. STALE toast.

[sonofspy777]

33. K&R Stick a fork into her

[deutsey]

35. Enthusiastic K&R

[lunatica]

37. kick'd and rec'd

[RiffRandell]

38. Thank you all so much!

Now let's do everything possible to get Bernie Sanders elected!

This country could be on a turning point that we DESPERATELY need.

I'm excited!

[rhett o rick]

39. k & r. Thanks for posting. nm

[RiffRandell]

40. No problem!

I just happened to be the one that found it first.

[Dont call me Shirley]

41. Bernie refers to us as we, not as they. I love that, as do many people.

[SammyWinstonJack]

42. Truth!

[Duval]

43. Damn right. K&R

[greiner3]

44. Corporations do not like change

And Bernie's sea change ones will freak them out. But I can't tell if the combined powers that be would go with Trump all the way. I'd emigrate if so. But it would be close as if I left my children grandchildren etc...I couldn't say I did my best to make this century's worst (fill in your favorite dystopian scenario) that much less by staying doing what little I could to stem the tide of hatred bigotry and Nationalism possibility of jingoism. Hey did anyone mention race war. Crusades anybody.

[hifiguy]

45. And the truth shall set you free!

[RiffRandell]

47. I was wondering where you were as I knew you would like this!

You had me worried.

Then again it is Friday night!

Mine, which is quite the norm, consists of having the kids over from across the street for pizza, brownies and having fun with ours. May pull out a board game later.

Anyway, so not a stalker but I thought it was odd you were MIA for awhile.

Glad to finally see you!

[hifiguy]

48. As Bender said

Check your DU mail in a few minutes.

Tonight I am going to have a drink or two and watch Citizen Kane.

[RiffRandell]

53. Nice!

Great to have you back!

[senz]

[malokvale77]

52. Truth...
