Thank you Sen. Bernie Sanders for once more saying out loud what the other cowards won't......

[DiverDave]

1. Run Bernie, RUN!

You got my vote.

[MedleyMisty]

17. Go ahead and just write him in

It's a thought. :)

[slay]

18. It's what I'm doing

i can't in good conscience vote for Obama again - he has let us down in a monumental way - so I will indeed be writing in Bernie Sanders. Too bad he won't run.

[chervilant]

36. Indeed.

I'll be writing in whichever candidate (Bernie Sanders, Alan Grayson, Dennis Kucinich?) gets the endorsement of the #Occupy movement and the 60% of this population that supports this movement.

[bvf]

37. Gotta Love Bernie.

I'd be surprised (and disappointed) if #Occupy endorsed anyone, although I love Bernie and usually find myself nodding vigorously whenever I hear him speak. Same goes for Grayson and Kucinich.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

48. I'll be writing him in too.

I'll be damned if I'll vote for someone who has nothing but contempt for me. Someone who bailed out the banks, continued the Bush tax cuts and... what Sen. Sanders just said.

[MissDeeds]

53. I agree

On all counts. Bernie has our backs and he has my vote.

:patriot:

[Enthusiast]

50. I can't talk myself into voting for Obama.

Not after his betrayal of the multitudes for personal gain or ideology. Whatever his reasoning. Any reasonable person (I thought Obama was reasonable) should have concluded that our trajectory of endless war, deregulation and outsourcing is a horrible mistake.

[wakemewhenitsover]

2. Way to go, Bernie!

It is a shame on our government that a truth-teller like Bernie is in the tiny minority of Congressional ranks.

K&R times a googol.

[piratefish08]

6. we moved our family to VT 2 months ago - I'm SO damn proud to call Bernie my Senator!

[freshwest]

15. What can out of staters do to support him? Other than keeping our progressive reps in office?

[piratefish08]

34. wish I knew! i bet he would say Occupy your Voting Booths.....

[Enthusiast]

51. I live in Ohio but I send Bernie campaign contributions.

I also contribute to Grayson and others that I feel represent the American people. Even small donations help the cause.

[Auntie Bush]

33. Approximately where in VT? Welcome to the beautiful Green Mountain State.

I live in the heart of the Southern Green Mountains in Ski heaven.

[piratefish08]

35. we love it here... we're about 25 miles north of Montpelier - rural but not isolated......

we're here for the long haul - putting down our last set of roots so to speak.

[Zorra]

3. Now that's the FDR type leader we need. nt

[mmonk]

4. Unfortunately, others in the government do not share your honesty

or direction Senator.

[bluethruandthru]

5. This is who we need as our President! n/t

[sarcasmo]

9. +1

[Edweird]

10. Yep.

[INdemo]

59. Maybe we don't have a real Democrat that would step forward and

Challenge Obama in the primary but we could support someone that could win.Yes Bernie Sanders would revive Democratic,progressive voters..

...Can Obama win against Romney? Either way with Obama or Romney we will have to fight to save Social Security and medicare>

"U.S. congressmen should have to dress like Nascar drivers and wear the logos of companies they're taking money from."
(maybe this should be the rule for Presidents too)

[RegieRocker]

7. Big thumbs up!

[Bonobo]

8. Ironic that he is the only Independent since he is actually the only Democrat. nt

[loudsue]

22. Exactly!!! LOL!

You called that right. We need more Bernie Sanders and Howard Dean!!

[socialindependocrat]

11. Let's start an incentive program....

Every time this guy speaks he is right-t-f-on!

We need to recommend him for a commendation....

Let's award him a million dollars!

We can start an incentive program that will get the others
to work for the reward by actually doing the job we elected them to do!!

"WE THE PEOPLE" can buy the majority of congress and it will
only cost us $200 million - or - let's just buy the senate for half that!

[ladjf]

12. Run for President Bernie and select Elizabeth Warren as your running mate. nt

[Auntie Bush]

61. That would unite the Dems but unfortunately we'd lose the election.

We still need the center left,...you know...Blue Dog types and Independents.
As distressing as it is...they could no more get elected than Dennis K.
No more electable than a wild eyed Conservative like Michele B. who can't even win over the conservatives. Sorry, this is a fact! But, how I'd love to see that ticket...but I must be realistic.

[INdemo]

64. Not true we dont have to have Republican lites running as

a Democrat to win...If a Democrat runs center or a Republican runs center what the hell is a differnce?..A real progressive can win in this country and I disagree that a Democrat must be a Republican with a D in front of his name in order to win..We have that now and as Truman said when a Democrat acts like a Republican the Democrat will lose every time and as bad I hate to see it looks like that is what will happen in 2012 'cause Democrats will stay home.

[RiverStone]

13. REC!!!

Bernie rocks :applause:

[freshwest]

14. K & R times a million!

[neverforget]

16. Cowards. Good description of the establishment Democrats of late.

Too concerned about rocking the boat and happy with just going along to get along.

[progressoid]

19. Thanks Bernie!

[and-justice-for-all]

20. Love that man...nt

[BlancheSplanchnik]

21. Amazing that so few know the facts and the difference between Right and Wrong.

More like Bernie, please!

[Bozita]

23. America's senator!

[Douglas Carpenter]

24. knr

[Faryn Balyncd]

[valerief]

26. Nine-hour Bernie. Love him! nt

[DeSwiss]

27. K&R!!!! n/t

[L0oniX]

28. K & R

[rhett o rick]

29. Please, everyone, send this message to Sen Murray. Although it may be too late.

Also, send it to Obama/Immelt.

[closeupready]

30. Why oh WHY won't you please run for president, Sen. Sanders? Big K&R

:woohoo:

[Bluenorthwest]

31. I've never written in a name on a ballot before

but tomorrow never knows.

[kath]

42. Yep, I hear ya.

[russspeakeasy]

32. three thumbs up..

[orbitalman]

38. What a MAN !! n/t

[woo me with science]

39. How small and corrupt the others look beside him. nt

[defendandprotect]

41. Would be nice to have someone in the White House with a heart and conscience -- !!

[kath]

43. Sure would be.

[defendandprotect]

40. Dems aren't silent because their "cowards" ... corporate $$ buys a lot of SILENCE ...

and has done so for decades now -- !!

[Skittles]

44. THIS IS HOW OBAMA SHOULD SPEAK

LAY THE TRUTH ON THE FUCKING LINE

[Cali_Democrat]

45. Yup!

[girl_interrupted]

47. +1

[datasuspect]

60. and scare off the ownership class?

no FUCKING way will THAT happen.

them checks don't write themselves.

[Skittles]

63. I know

:(

[Tsiyu]

46. It's amazing that the absolute truth

is so damned hard to find these days, we find it absolutely amazing when we hear it.

My TN rep - a Norquist purchase - and Senators couldn't care LESS about the elderly, the sick, the children, or the poor.

All they care about is kissing corporate ass. It's so depressing.

Where are the rest of the decent politicians in America? When do the greedy wake up and care about the people?

Hey, Bernie: :yourock:

[Enthusiast]

49. Why can't we have a "good" man like this as president?

You know, instead of a corporate sell-out.

[on point]

52. The candidate I a writing in - the only one worth my vote

[MissDeeds]

54. Oh please, please run Bernie

We need you!

K&R

[piratefish08]

55. simple, understandable, undeniable truth.

Bernie operates out in the open.

The rest of Congress NEEDS the muddied grey areas to operate - it's the only way they can pander to us AND filled their pockets like the money grubbing whores that they are.

[DaveJ]

56. K&R

:kick:

[alfredo]

57. Hell yes!

[raccoon]

58. K&R! nt

[blkmusclmachine]

62. Everybody knows:

Except the bought-and-paid-for TOOLS in DC.
