Hey Kathy, Bernie caucuses with the Democrats. You are a guest in our house, Kathy. Dont call me Shirley Jan 2016 #26

I'm sorry we disagree, but the D after a name doesn't describe that person's goals. madfloridian Jan 2016 #49

So, apparently only LABELS matter, not actions. zalinda Jan 2016 #51

Membership matters Algernon Moncrieff Jan 2016 #53

Why not join the party and make his voice heard Algernon Moncrieff Jan 2016 #86

He did join the party and he's making his voice very much heard. Kentonio Jan 2016 #87

Well -- he did and he didn't Algernon Moncrieff Jan 2016 #102

And after just 3 months he already looks like he might win the primary Kentonio Jan 2016 #103

The wealthy aren't inherently evil. The poor aren't inherently noble. Algernon Moncrieff Jan 2016 #112

You missed the point or are intentionally deviating. JFK inherited money with no strings attached. rhett o rick Jan 2016 #113

Sorry - I don't do Zero Sum Game politics. Algernon Moncrieff Jan 2016 #121

Lots of people enjoyed the bubble of the 90's. Clinton had nothing to do with it. However, rhett o rick Jan 2016 #122

Of course Sanders supporters split a gut over the TRUTH. He only joined for one reason. KittyWampus Jan 2016 #89

He's doing the Democrats a huge favor by not running as an independent Fumesucker Jan 2016 #91
