Nailed it. MannyGoldstein Jun 2015 #1

Thanks, Manny. Bonobo Jun 2015 #6

At first I thought my bullshit meter had broken madokie Jun 2015 #2

No annoying nail wearing through the right heel hootinholler Jun 2015 #5

I keep enough bullshit on that right heal madokie Jun 2015 #13

Yep! Exactly! Right on! n/t RKP5637 Jun 2015 #51

He'll break yer heart. eom MohRokTah Jun 2015 #3

Hearts actually aren't involved this time. I know because Obama had mine. Bonobo Jun 2015 #4

Bernie has a track record of 30+ years. Art_from_Ark Jun 2015 #9

Bernie has set off my BS meter for years. eom MohRokTah Jun 2015 #11

Oh. LOL. Bonobo Jun 2015 #14

It definitely needs to be recalibrated Art_from_Ark Jun 2015 #17

It as dead on with Thom Hartmann MohRokTah Jun 2015 #18

Wow, you unmasked Thom Hartmann as an evil shill! Bonobo Jun 2015 #21

No, as a merchant of woo. eom MohRokTah Jun 2015 #24

What is woo, please? nt navarth Jun 2015 #26

Merchant of Woo was a play by Shakespeare, as I recall Art_from_Ark Jun 2015 #38

So Thom Hartmann and Bernie are borrowing money for their girlfriends according to navarth Jun 2015 #40

Woo comes from the term woo-woo. Dr Hobbitstein Jun 2015 #54

...which, of course, derives from Dr. Curly Howard's pioneering work in the field. Buns_of_Fire Jun 2015 #66

That's because yours is wired backwards. jeff47 Jun 2015 #41

Check the polarity on that meter. RoccoR5955 Jun 2015 #55

I love this post. Obama had mine too. He broke it. RiverLover Jun 2015 #22

I remember inauguration day 2008 zentrum Jun 2015 #23

Not worried about that... ms liberty Jun 2015 #7

Don't you mean..... daleanime Jun 2015 #10

He's a politician. MohRokTah Jun 2015 #12

And you're hopeful.... daleanime Jun 2015 #16

He's a politician. eom MohRokTah Jun 2015 #19

I appreciate your honesty...... daleanime Jun 2015 #20

An honest politician. JDPriestly Jun 2015 #44

I think the person that pretends to be liberal while all the time believes in the rhett o rick Jun 2015 #47

That's it in a nutshell! hifiguy Jun 2015 #8

Good point. E.g. "Hillary is no better than a Republican" sends the BS meter off the chart. DanTex Jun 2015 #15

HRC is better than a Republicon for a few social issues, but she pretty much agrees with rhett o rick Jun 2015 #48

That's absurd. How does she "pretty much agree with them" on economic issues. DanTex Jun 2015 #50

Anyone who spends as much time as she does hanging around with hifiguy Jun 2015 #52

Aha. So it has nothing to do with policy whatsoever. Glad we have that established. DanTex Jun 2015 #53

Hillary will do a couple of really good things if elected, much like Obama, but Dustlawyer Jun 2015 #56

I agree with every word!!! hifiguy Jun 2015 #57

Let's start with her betraying Democrats, Americans and one million dead Iraqi's when rhett o rick Jun 2015 #58

Gee I didn't realize the IWR was an economic issue. DanTex Jun 2015 #59

I disagree. "But like I said, she has admitted that that was a mistake" rhett o rick Jun 2015 #60

"I've made it very clear that I made a mistake, plain and simple" DanTex Jun 2015 #61

I don't like H. Clinton because she betray us in favor of George Bush and the Republicons. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #62

OK. For some people the IWR vote is definitely going to be a deal-breaker. DanTex Jun 2015 #63

How does she stand on regulating the banks? Maybe bringing back Glass-Steagall. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #64

She supports the reforms in Dodd-Frank, although she wasn't in congress to vote for them. DanTex Jun 2015 #65

The problem with the TPP is that the politicians only discuss the trade part, which rhett o rick Jun 2015 #67

My bullshit meter runs on pretty much all the time! NRaleighLiberal Jun 2015 #25

Some people seem to have defective Bullshit meters Jack Rabbit Jun 2015 #27

It's not just the politicians spreading bullshit. 99Forever Jun 2015 #28

No Weasel Talk from Bernie. navarth Jun 2015 #29

He does not have to worry about what he is saying wendylaroux Jun 2015 #30

If you always tell the truth, you never get caught up in lies Divernan Jun 2015 #31

Absolutely!! wendylaroux Jun 2015 #32

You said it. Every day it becomes more and more obvious that people were just waiting for someone to sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #33

Thanks, Sabrina, I know you really, really get it. Bonobo Jun 2015 #35

Yes, exactly. And many of those people have decided to take care of their own shit and ignore sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #36

And the numbers are so vastly in favor of such people. Bonobo Jun 2015 #37

right on nt G_j Jun 2015 #34

They can f** us over for a decade or two, or three, delrem Jun 2015 #39

K&R! This post should have hundreds of recommendations! Enthusiast Jun 2015 #42

Bernie's NOT the only Dem to say it: a Democrat who calls “bulls**t”: Martin O’Malley elleng Jun 2015 #43

Manny, my bullshit meter detected a whole lot LibDemAlways Jun 2015 #46
