We have two candidates one was invited to speak to the pope on the economy the other by Goldman Sach

Who we decided to nominate will show who we align with. Do we want to be the party that sides with bankers or the party that will fight for economic justice?

Wonder if it's because they're having to rethink things about their candidate finally. Doubt it. But what does it say when the freaking Pope invites your opponent and snubs you at the same time - AND has snubbed you in the past by declining your invitations?

13 years of DU, and the board is fresh and clean again.


I'm still in a state of disbelief over this pope. Now he does this. I'm not religious, but I really like this guy. He seems to care about the things we fringe candidate supporters believe in.
