(10,536 posts)House members. A President Bernie could have speeded up our timetable and help tremendously to grow awareness and the movement, but he will still be a leader and a huge draw.
There has been and will be election fraud, not just against Bernie. The Bush/Rove IT guy was linked to rigging Ohio against Kerry from a TN., company. He died days before his deposition in his flying in his small plane. Yes he really died in a small plane crash right before his deposition! TPTB want certainty on their candidates. If people are willing to pay billions to elect a slate of candidates, a couple of million is nothing (Google Spoonamore and electronic voting).
I like Bernie and his policies. Part of his appeal is he is genuine. He wants to equal the playing field and help prepare us for the big changes we need to make to avoid a really devastating climate in our kids and grandkids future. This cannot happen with the legalized bribery of our "so called, elected officials!"
As for his being able to handle their lies, he already has a lot of experience in that department. He also has no ongoing scandals.
