10. One of the very few in Congress who is worth a damn.

Most of them are useless or worse.

Keith Ellison and the rest of the Progressive Caucus are mostly pretty good, too. But Bernie never lets us down. Ever!

11. No doubt, he would win the biggest landslide victory in US history

7. Once again thanks to a Senator that we can be sure will be

on our side every time.

8. But Senator, most rethuglicans, by pledging their allegiance to Grover Norquist, and by doing so,

pledging their dis-allegiance to the Constitution, Democrats have no choice but to gut the big three, something rethuglicans have been orchestrating for years by starving the beast, because the mean ole rethuglicans have made Democrats do it or is it really because the RW controls all major branches of government? Can we all accept that anyone party to cutting the big three in the grand bargain in which the Speaker stated he got 98% of what he wanted, is in fact, undisputed-ly RW? Hint: RWers do and support RW policies, agenda, and goals and this is not rocket science. :patriot:

12. Bravo! Don't let them steal OUR MONEY to pay for their games!

That's all it is, stealing...from US, to put money in THEIR pockets.

And worse, to crash the economy so they can demand "austerity", which creates even more opportunity for power grabs, see Goldman Sachs advisors as new PMs in Greece and Italy...now it is happening here!

They never learn.
