The thousandth Sanders thread: we should vote for him loud and clear.

Trump is a reality TV star.

Carson is a doctor who insists that no "Muslim" should ever be president.

Fiorina is a multi-millionaire global-conglomerate, bonus-earning CEO of a company that is publicly traded (WALL STREET) called Hewlett Packard (HP products SUCK, btw) who says that "the rest of us" (who is "us," Carly?) are being trampled by the 1% (her own clan). And who fell for the bastardized propaganda circulating about Planned Parenthood.

Carson said no such thing. Stop buying into the Liberal spin. He said that if a muslim would not put the Constitution above their beliefs, THEN they should not be President.

And they are all three better than ANY career politician.

I'm not "lecturing" you. But you think that every two (or four) years, we should just hire inexperienced newbies who are at the very beginning of the "learning curve"?

Obama was an inexperienced newbie. Just like Trump, Carson, Fiorina, Cruz, or any other "green" entry.

I have thought in the past that we should just chuck ALL of the politicians out, and choose from the bloody phone book, using darts.....

but the fact is that anyone who is NOT FAMILIAR with the way things actually work will take a couple of years (or more) to really get the hang of it. When a newbie is up against corporate lobbyists, THEY ARE HOSED. THE LOBBYISTS will win.

Obama was raised and groomed to be exactly what he is. A Socialist, playing a Democrat to make fundamental changes to America to line up with their beliefs. Hardly inexperienced.

And yes, "Newbies" in rotation is EXACTLY what we need. To suggest otherwise means you are fine with corruption, and our current failed system of lifers.

Lobbyists only have power over those they have made dealing s with already. "Newbies" would have the power to tell them to eff off, without fear of them holding something over their heads.

Term Limits would solve our Congressional problems.

Uh, no, he clearly said that no, he did not think a Muslim should be president. Period.

After all the hullabaloo over that statement, he backtracked a little on Fox News, saying that if a Muslim renounced their religion and basically became a heretic, THEN it would be possible for them to be president. Wow. Mighty white of him, dontcha think?

Sanders is a dirtbag and I will not vote for him.

a reply to: BrianFlanders

Why's that?

Me and my clan will not be voting for Sanders and that is final.

He's too much of a socialist for me. But, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat if it meant keeping Clinton out of the white house.

Bill and Hillary have spent their life in government service and are multi millionaires. Please explain to me how they are not corrupt.

I'd also vote for Trump over Hillary.

And that's perfectly fine, yet most people that say they won't give no reasons why not. You don't have to justify yourself, but unless the people against sanders have good reasons, he has a good shot at ending up president. Educate me on why not, if you don't mind. I'm open to renouncing my original theory, should some evidence come up that he is against the public.

No, not 'mighty white' at all, but thanks for the knee-jerk Uncle Tom/Oreo stereotype. And before all this fiasco he said in the same interview:

[I]t depends on what that faith is. If it’s inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the constitution, no problem.

So he is concerned with Principles, and Consistency with the COTUS first.
