(13,542 posts)take their votes but don't really do much for them. It's been that way for us white working class people lately too.
Republicans have done the same thing to the religous right for years, but lately the Teabaggers have at least grandstanded to make it look good. I remember one time Gary bauer was on with Bob Novak shortly after Gingrich and his bunch took the House. Novak was trying to talk Bauer down. Kind of just like let us get some tax cuts and a Republican in the Whitehouse and we'll see about looking at your agenda. Thanks for all the voted btw. They fall for it every time.
I don't think shouting down Sanders was a good idea. He's been a Congressman from Vermont for years. Not exactly a situation where his constituents were demanding he do much for minorities. That doesn't mean he won't. Screwing things up for Sanders does none of us any good. The "Hill People" have to be jazzed about it though.
