2016 election will have something that has not happened in a really long time….an actual socialist running for prez that actually has a chance…….
The more popular Bernie gets the more the media pushes his socialist roots…….to me it smells like an attempt at sabotage……I mean they, the media, has been force feeding the public Hillary Clinton for 2 or more years as the Democratic front runner. And now that Bernie is gathering steam and giving her a good run for the money the MSM wants the voting public to remember the Bernie is a socialist…..a Democratic socialist…..
I am talking about all media from print to cable….MSNBC had him on last week for a spot and the anchor just kept hammering him on socialism…..to me it was not a veiled attempt….it was blatant.
His intellectual forbear, Eugene V. Debs, could be an inspiration. He could also be a warning.

Bernie continues to gather support…..it appears that the public is not interested in what his “label” is these days…..most are looking for change and I mean real change….not that pansy reform of the Clintons.
But I expect the media and others to continue to try and hammer the socialist label with a hope that it will eventually catch and make Bernie an unattractive candidate.
I mean look at the person with all the media coverage….Trump…..he dangles shiny bobbles for the viewers and the mental midgets go to it and are amazed……at least with Bernie the people hear issues and solutions….not about someone’s hair or how much money they have or how amazing they are personally…..we deserve Trump…..we need Bernie!
What a match up Bernie would be against the Donald. The Robber Baron vs. the reform socialist. It’s the 1890’s all over again. 🙂
Great historical reference….kudos my friend….
Remember, Woodgate was there. He saw it first hand. (Nothing like an old-timer joke at the crack of dawn.)
You guys are talking socialism at 6:30 AM??? Man, the only thing I’m talking about at 6 AM is what incredibly painful method I’m going to use to kill the guy who woke me up at 6AM.
Teah….I am somewhat of an insomniac….thanx to my injuries suffered during Katrina….so I am doing this stuff almost all the time….but by 0600 hrs I am looking for more coffee….
“George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” Nor does he care if you get a good night’s sleep. Because he’s always slept like a baby and still does.
Doc Sedate Me’s prescription: “Anti stress” brownies. They should ease the pain & put you to sleep. But if they don’t, you’ll care a hell of a lot less about not sleeping.
Better living through chemistry….a motto I hold dear….LOL
SIGH….. What we NEED is for all of them to just roll over and die. Maybe then they’d leave us the hell alone, & let us get on with our lives… Even Bernie WANTS to be President, which is a sure sign he should NEVER be given the job….
Can’t we just make them go away?….
gigoid, the wistful…..
😳
If they go away then there are others waiting their turn….we have more demagogues than commonsense….chuq
Donald Trump is an ass clown and I can’t believe that people actually take him seriously. I shudder at the thought of a Trump presidency. He reminds me of an insolent child and our military his magnifying glass.
You know I’m a conservative Republican so this might sound strange: but I like Bernie Sanders. He is a man of principle, and not given to reactionary behavior like Donald Trump. If it’s Trump vs. Sanders in 2016, I’m voting Sanders. Isn’t that something? A conservative Republican voting for a socialist. Unreal.
No to me it does not sound unreal…..sounds like you vote for issues and solutions and so far Bernie is the only one doing so….I like Bernie too….
