Many DUers here seem to forget, Bernie Sanders is NOT A DEMOCRAT. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #10

He may not have the "D" next to his name SomethingFishy Apr 2014 #12

Your opinion. Opinion doesn't constitute fact. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #18

You want to throw a person Aerows Apr 2014 #20

You've completely misread and misunderstood the gist of my post. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #94

You want us to either demand that Bernie sit in the senate as a Dem, or be anathemized. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #123

Hyperbole. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #237

Oh believe me there is no way I could forget. SomethingFishy Apr 2014 #25

Yeah. This site is called the DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND in support of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #96

If the parties completely swapped positions, would you still Erich Bloodaxe BSN Apr 2014 #155

Your opinion. And opinion doesn't constitute fact - even from a "Democrat" that's been on a BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #238

You're still pissed that Bernie sits as an Independent? Ken Burch Apr 2014 #120

Absolutely NOT. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #178

You have no reason to think he's planning to split the vote. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #190

Never said he was "planning" on splitting the vote. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #239

No, he caucuses with the Democrats. joshcryer Apr 2014 #130

The poster you've responded to is a McCarthyite. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #134

Fair enough. joshcryer Apr 2014 #136

I edited it. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #143

I'm no "McCarthyite". BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #242

It's McCarthyite that you're sowing false accusation of disloyalty to the party Ken Burch Apr 2014 #244

That's what you're making out of it (mountains out of molehills much?) but that's clearly NOT BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #245

Actually, Nader was irrelevant in 2004. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #248

And great for him and us! BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #241

He would never do that. joshcryer Apr 2014 #243

I don't think so, either. eom BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #246

Reading comprehension, my dear. Hoping hardly constitutes a threat... hlthe2b Apr 2014 #24

You first. I'll even hold the door open for you. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #51

Nah... hlthe2b Apr 2014 #53

It's not a threat, it's a valid observation. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #132

Bernie Sanders caucuses with the Democratic party Aerows Apr 2014 #19

I really don't care if he votes 90% with Democrats. HE'S STILL NOT A DEMOCRAT BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #38

If you "don't care" that he caucuses with Democrats Aerows Apr 2014 #41

Ah...I was wondering how long it would take Democratic Party disrupters from trying BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #47

"Democratic Party disrupters" Aerows Apr 2014 #52

Yep. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #57

Well, I'm pretty comfortable being labeled a Aerows Apr 2014 #61

I've noticed. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #107

So once again Aerows Apr 2014 #181

Democrats don't have to oppose Bernie running for president. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #124

Here is who is calling you a disrupter.... Bluenorthwest Apr 2014 #71

Oh, well isn't that special? Aerows Apr 2014 #76

This is also the person who thinks that it's hysterically funny QC Apr 2014 #161

Nope, no homophobia there Aerows Apr 2014 #182

I think they sometimes forget that even though Skinner is very patient, this is still a partisan.... Tarheel_Dem Apr 2014 #86

I swear... BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #104

look dude, bernie is cool,and he's not an asshole; he'd run as a Dem. he won't win either, so relax. dionysus Apr 2014 #97

Dude, did Senator Sanders SAY he'd run as a Democrat? BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #105

he's not a fool or a jerk, i bet you 10 bucks if he runs at all, it's as a Dem. Deal? dionysus Apr 2014 #106

IF that's the case then he'd be a sell-out. And you "anyone but a Democrat" people BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #109

you must have confused me with some other dudes, that's pretty funny. nt dionysus Apr 2014 #111

Nope. I pegged you right from the get-go. And that's not funny. eom BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #112

Bernie's been endorsing our presidential tickets for years. Isn't that proof enough for you? Ken Burch Apr 2014 #139

Proof of what, exactly? That he's NOT going to run as an Independent presidential candidate in 2016? BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #180

It's McCarthyite that you're trying to make Bernie anathema around here. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #189

You know perfectly well that Bernie won't run third-party Ken Burch Apr 2014 #121

Doh, seems I made that same observation. joshcryer Apr 2014 #135

Considering the statements that this poster Aerows Apr 2014 #183

That's insane. joshcryer Apr 2014 #216

So do you support Democrats who support fracking? Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2014 #35

No. I don't. I don't support President Obama 100% of the time, BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #42

Sorry, "Not as bad", or, "As good as it gets", isn't good enough. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2014 #46

Good for you. So do I! That's why I always vote and I always vote DEMOCRATIC. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #49

So, fracking is really good for the country and is a liberal policy and and principle? Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2014 #56

you're the purest of the pure, the wind beneath our collective wings. now shit on dems and fly!!!1! dionysus Apr 2014 #98

LOL! You demand absolute obedience to the party and call us "Purists"? Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2014 #99

"absolute obedience", of course not. but rarely have i seen you make a post that doesn't trash Dems, dionysus Apr 2014 #101

I trash politicians and policies of any party deserving it. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2014 #103

Obama isn't going to run in 2016 Ken Burch Apr 2014 #122

So are you saying that because he is not a Democrat, that Dems can't have any regard for the man? notadmblnd Apr 2014 #58

Nope. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #175

I did read your post and you were defending the OP who apparently notadmblnd Apr 2014 #176

He's more of a Democrat than many who slap the 'D' onto their names. Some DUers sabrina 1 Apr 2014 #59

Criticism is fine...but not the spreading of rumors and lies. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #119

The OP didn't criticize-it spread an unfounded rumor. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #126

That's true. LWolf Apr 2014 #167

Sounds to me like it came from Fox News. notadmblnd Apr 2014 #67

that's what I think tooo.... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #69

I'm saying only a Clinton supporter has reason DefenseLawyer Apr 2014 #92

I believe I willl....because as much as Bernie has a fan club....he is also well known by VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #93

So? The Republican base Erich Bloodaxe BSN Apr 2014 #159

the Republican Base doesn't understand the way we do about the Koch bros... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #164

Why would the Republican base, no matter how much they despise Sanders DefenseLawyer Apr 2014 #170

Because he might win? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #187

No offense, but that's ridiculous and you know it. DefenseLawyer Apr 2014 #211

You forget....Bernie is not a Democrat.... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #212

Which is another reason, aside her "centrism"(conservatism)and militarism, NOT to nominate HRC Ken Burch Apr 2014 #221

she IS NOT a Centrist...that is a damn lie... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #224

She favors a big defense budget, still hasn't given up on bombing Iran, backs trade globalization... Ken Burch Apr 2014 #230

that is ONE issue....ONE issue does not determine it....sorry.... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #231

No shit Aerows Apr 2014 #22

Seems like people want to throw baseless assertions around in this thread. NCTraveler Apr 2014 #157

I second that..... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #165

I don't mean to suggest that this was literally posted by the Clinton campaign DefenseLawyer Apr 2014 #171

I don't know. It was your baseless assertion with absolutely no back up. NCTraveler Apr 2014 #172

So you think Republicans don't want Sanders to run in a primary? DefenseLawyer Apr 2014 #174

So he's either a party hack or a spoiler? SomethingFishy Apr 2014 #11

If he decides to run, he'll be another Ralph Nader spoiler. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #13

Bernie would never run against the Democratic ticket in the fall and you know it. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #148

Bernie can't run in the Democratic primaries....he is not a Democrat... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #166

He would just have to change his registration to do so...that's not that big a deal. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #192

You think he is going to do that now? Uh no.... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #193

What I'm saying is, if Bernie runs, he'd run to win(without diluting his message) Ken Burch Apr 2014 #195

No, I don't know it. And it's not what he said on The Ed Show a couple of months ago. BlueCaliDem Apr 2014 #179

Then join those who call for Bernie to run as a Dem. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #191

Bernie is NOT going to do that..... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #194

that's why he's in New Hampshire exploring a possible run in the Democratic primaries Douglas Carpenter Apr 2014 #196

Well let us know when he changes affiliation...until then.... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #197

well he didn't go to New Hampshire to explore the possibility of a run for the Douglas Carpenter Apr 2014 #198

So? He cannot visit there? Everything is an agenda? There are no Democrats there he supports? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #199

I'm only following the news reports Douglas Carpenter Apr 2014 #200

What if he decides to run as Hillary's running mate...will your head explode? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #201

news reports confirm that he is considering running in the Democratic primaries Douglas Carpenter Apr 2014 #203

So? But that is called being a Spoiler... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #204

I plan to vote for the Democratic Party nominee in 2016 Douglas Carpenter Apr 2014 #213

So do I! VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #214

Bernie isn't the spoiler type...why don't you just accept that? n/t. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #207

If Bernie runs....and doesn't become a Democrat...he IS a spoiler... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #210

If Bernie ran in the primaries, he WOULD be running as a Dem. Ken Burch Apr 2014 #220

Do you have any evidence for this accusation? If not than this is simply troll-bait. el_bryanto Apr 2014 #15

I asked a question, read the OP. CK_John Apr 2014 #17

It's an accusatory question. Why would you think that Sanders was trolling for Koch Money? nt el_bryanto Apr 2014 #30

You didn't "ask a question" Marrah_G Apr 2014 #36
