Sarcasm does not suit you. TM99 Oct 2015 #10

I guess you like not getting any thing done. Not shocked. yeoman6987 Oct 2015 #11

I would rather have a stale mate TM99 Oct 2015 #12

Amen! to that. Divernan Oct 2015 #19

I am talking Bernie sanders here. Not Donald trump. Just want to make that clear. Haha. yeoman6987 Oct 2015 #23

I think we're on the same page DisgustipatedinCA Oct 2015 #78

Thanks, Autumn. I feel the same way. DisgustipatedinCA Oct 2015 #84

Republicans never compromise, ever AgingAmerican Oct 2015 #112

We are the ones who get burned by their compromises. Autumn Oct 2015 #132

WORD. In search of his "grand bargain," Obama had horrendous ideas, SusanaMontana41 Oct 2015 #20

...and Sanders will do better how? People marching? cause the GOP cares about what people think? tia uponit7771 Oct 2015 #122

We have a better chance of Sanders simply saying no TM99 Oct 2015 #130

Sadly you don't understand at all. Getting nothing done would be an improvement in the status quo. rhett o rick Oct 2015 #47

this is a very confusing statement. sheshe2 Oct 2015 #94

It's very simple. People have been losing their homes, jobs and retirements. College rhett o rick Oct 2015 #105

What other candidate would be in a better position to get things done if elected POTUS? cui bono Oct 2015 #87

One that isn't indicating unicorns will appear in congress and magically make the GOP put .... uponit7771 Oct 2015 #123

Then you should vote for Bernie because the Congress will most certainly not change Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #144

Hillary isn't promising unicorns !!! She actually is saying what she could do with executive power uponit7771 Oct 2015 #146

If Bernie follows Hillary that will be the first time as she has made habit of following him or Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #149

Because Hillary is promising more of the same, she's a corporatist ffs. cui bono Oct 2015 #154

I won't be shocked in the least because William769 Oct 2015 #24

Here's another quote for you... Ino Oct 2015 #25

And? William769 Oct 2015 #26

No. Clinton already appointed Greenspan to the FED where Greenspan merrily ruined our economy JDPriestly Oct 2015 #35

Ronald Reagan appointed Greenspan. George II Oct 2015 #85

Clinton reappointed him. Clinton did not have to and should not have. JDPriestly Oct 2015 #111

Chairmen of the Federal Reserve are rarely, if ever, not reappointed regardless of who.... George II Oct 2015 #131

And Greenspan should have been the exception to that rule. JDPriestly Oct 2015 #140

His co-president is running... Ino Oct 2015 #56

Thanks. DisgustipatedinCA Oct 2015 #74

I just read through the whole thing, Bills quote is in there. Nt stevenleser Oct 2015 #73

LOL. I see below that his crack editor has made an appearance. WorseBeforeBetter Oct 2015 #93

And still we prove our points with facts, just like the above Bernie quote. Nt stevenleser Oct 2015 #99

I'm not too thrilled with the Democratic Party right now, WorseBeforeBetter Oct 2015 #110

Maybe you should wake up to the fact of independent voters cprise Oct 2015 #115

I wouldn't be shocked...I've been cursed out by one of them already Stellar Oct 2015 #39

He's more like a libertarian than a liberal so I wouldn't be surprised moobu2 Oct 2015 #42

Hillary is more like a Republican on so many issues, I'm surprised they don't support her. sabrina 1 Oct 2015 #44

Bernie Sanders isn't even a Democrat. moobu2 Oct 2015 #77

That is so yesterday. nt Bohunk68 Oct 2015 #126

Did the Party say he isn't running as a Democratic Party candidate? Last I looked sabrina 1 Oct 2015 #137

He's not a Democrat is my point. moobu2 Oct 2015 #141

Not according to this USA Day poll. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #45

Wow, that's deluded. n/t Comrade Grumpy Oct 2015 #116

+1, including the immigration stance... uponit7771 Oct 2015 #124

Yes, absolutely. In RL people are not that divided at all on the issues. We've been lied to for so sabrina 1 Oct 2015 #43

I would be concerned if alot of Republicans agreed with me. DCBob Oct 2015 #46

So if the Republicans agreed with you that water was wet, this would concern you? n/t Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #48

I would be suspicious. DCBob Oct 2015 #52

If the case of agreement regarding "water being wet," paranoia might be a better description Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #55

If I were a politician I would be paranoid anytime Republicans got cozy with me. DCBob Oct 2015 #59

You do know that at one time there were some decent Republicans? Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #61

Yeah.. I suppose. But now they are mostly dangerous lunatics. DCBob Oct 2015 #65

For everything there is a season, a season of personalities and a season of issues. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #68

She will be fine.. she knows exactly what to expect. DCBob Oct 2015 #69

Knowing what to expect and being able to do anything about it are two different things. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #71

It resonates because they'd rather run againt Bernie than Hillary. n/t OhZone Oct 2015 #49

If that's the case one should be careful what they wish for. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #51

True! I love Bernie, but anyone but a Republican! :) n/t OhZone Oct 2015 #63

Thank you, Atomic Kitten. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #58

Sanders Republicans, much better than fracking Reagan Democrats Agony Oct 2015 #60

I couldn't agree more, Agony. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #62

Sanders has been supported by majority of voters in a block drawn from both parties for years. TeamPooka Oct 2015 #64

And it will be very interesting to see the election results from open primary states... mak3cats Oct 2015 #67

I won't. No worries. nt ismnotwasm Oct 2015 #75

wishful thinking bigtree Oct 2015 #79

It all boils down to whether the people want an election based on the issues or personalities. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #83

"If they don't completely renounce their republicanism, they can go to hell." cui bono Oct 2015 #89

Boom! sheshe2 Oct 2015 #100

This is laughable and I will make it very easy to understand why. stevenleser Oct 2015 #82

Here's one example regarding your Social Conservative. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #86

I do not want sermons! sheshe2 Oct 2015 #113

Then you would never have voted for Martin Luther King for President and you probably hated Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #136

You must be laughing a lot then cui bono Oct 2015 #88

I am laughing and no it's not happening. You've been fooled into thinking it is. stevenleser Oct 2015 #97

Your problem is you think all the Republicans have a teabagger mentality. cui bono Oct 2015 #102

No, I listed the kinds of things different conservatives believe and I asked you a simple question. stevenleser Oct 2015 #104

There are plenty of Republicans who think the banksters need to be reined in, cui bono Oct 2015 #114

Apparently my post #86 proves otherwise, you never addressed that? Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #152

You needn't tell us to think. We're not your fox audience. DisgustipatedinCA Oct 2015 #106

The types of Republicans who fully realize they've been trickled down on. WorseBeforeBetter Oct 2015 #92

None of that is new, they won't suddenly vote for Sanders or any other Democrafic stevenleser Oct 2015 #95

Listen, Steve, it's abundantly clear that you think you know all, WorseBeforeBetter Oct 2015 #101

No, what is abundantly clear is that you have abandoned logic for adoration of your candidate. stevenleser Oct 2015 #103

I stopped reading at "adoration." (n/t) WorseBeforeBetter Oct 2015 #108

In 2008, 10% of Republicans voted for Obama over McCain. Comrade Grumpy Oct 2015 #118

I thought olive branches and common ground with conservatives was bad, "third way," "triangulation?" kjones Oct 2015 #139

There is a major distinction between finding common ground among the people versus Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #142

Yes, there is...hence my use of the phrase "common ground" over "capitulation" kjones Oct 2015 #145

I agree with some of what President Obama has done and I recognize the deck stacked against him Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #148

What a great post kjones!! redstateblues Oct 2015 #157
