for years, no more so than when running as the Progressive ("Bull Moose&quot candidate for the presidency in 1912. And now we have so-called Democrats running away from what he stood for 103 years ago and embracing the exact opposite. Some people are easily bought and STAY bought. I won't mention who.

Bernie should call himself a Bull Mooser. He's plain-spoken, despises TR's "malefactors of great wealth" and comes from a state with plenty of actual moose.
