Some more Bernie News - not breaking but historial that you probably didn't know:

Bernie is a Patriot and a Socialist and our troops like him:


His record and work on veterans’ affairs issues has earned Sanders top awards from the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and the Military Officers Association of America, and now it appears as though that recognition is translating to support for his campaign.

The Boston Globe writes that Sanders’ “surge is partly fueled by veterans,” citing “entire Reddit threads [that] are dedicated to how veterans can best pitch Sanders to other veterans” and “a Facebook page promoting Sanders to veterans.” As the Globe notes, in the early voting state of South Carolina veterans make up about 11 percent of the electorate.


He appeals to Anarchists (which is the historical root of Libertarianism) as well:


Speaking to the largest campaign crowd of this cycle in Wisconsin this week, Sanders said, “The big money interests — Wall Street, corporate America, all of these guys — have so much power that no president can defeat them unless there is an organized grassroots movement making them an offer they can’t refuse.” For activists who organized, protested and camped out in Zuccotti Park and squares across America, this message of unfinished business is powerful. The acknowledgement of a continued struggle and willingness to put up a fight is what was galvanized the Draft Warren movement and it has now seemingly shifted to Sanders.


He appeals to the Anti-Corporatist of all flavors:


Americans are shockingly united in their opposition to such obscene levels of money in politics. The overwhelming majority of Americans, including Republicans, support limits on campaign contributions.

Sanders is the only candidate to have completely sworn off all Super PAC funds, although a couple of independent political action committees have formed in support of his candidacy.



He is for working people and families...


Sanders has proposed the College for All Act, a plan to provide tuition-free education at public colleges funded by a small tax on Wall Street transactions.


Really who is it that benefits from higher education more then businesses - they should be paying their fair share instead of 'externalizing' one more expense.


Sanders has promised to return the debate to early 2007, when during the Democratic presidential primary the public option was on the table. Sanders has long called for a “Medicare-for-all” single-payer health care plan similar to what was tossed aside as too radical shortly after the talks began on health care reform once Obama took office.



Many of you probably dislike any Socialist on 'principle' and ignore looking at what they support and stand for and more important how they operate. Senator Sanders is no autocrate, aspiring dictator (as Bush II was and stated on public TV), he isn't a single party communist, he isn't anything different really then you and me but with more experience and practical knowledge.

The ends don't justify the means, the means create the ends.

He's too old. His generation and all the nonsense they caused needs to die off. They must not be allowed to rule the world any longer or despite what he says, it will be more of the same.
