88. Supporting Democratic POLICY in most of our books is more important than a Democratic LABEL!!!!

Mon Oct 12, 2015, 05:10 PM

Oct 2015

FDR would probably support Bernie more as a REAL Democrat in POLICY in this election were he alive today. He'd be again urging us all publicly to take on the ECONOMIC ROYALISTS, even if they are in our party today!!!

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard uninvited from debates thanks to DNC, Bernie has her covered [View all] pinebox Oct 2015 OP

DWS is petty and thin-skinned for uninviting Rep Gabbard. HooptieWagon Oct 2015 #1

Can Bernie toss anyone out of the DNC when he's not a Dem? Sheepshank Oct 2015 #8

I believe the Presidents choice heads the Party. HooptieWagon Oct 2015 #11

But Obama was a Dem...that makes sense Sheepshank Oct 2015 #12

if he wins the presidency on a dem ticket restorefreedom Oct 2015 #27

Is that an opinion or a rule? Sheepshank Oct 2015 #41

i think all of this is unwritten restorefreedom Oct 2015 #66

well, we will have to disagree on this point. Sheepshank Oct 2015 #79

Back to Tulsi, turns out she's very ambitious. Back-stabbing Hortensis Oct 2015 #112

i don't think he will be interested in "firing" anyone restorefreedom Oct 2015 #118

He will be president of the United States. Won't be given serious thought? rofl n/t jtuck004 Oct 2015 #138

He's running as a dem. He'll win as a dem. Elmer S. E. Dump Oct 2015 #124

But he's not a Dem Sheepshank Oct 2015 #128

Le sigh. artislife Oct 2015 #130

That sounds a lot like the Teabaggers claiming Obama isn't an American. Spitfire of ATJ Oct 2015 #135

no it's not like that....calling a DU Dem a teabagger is just not a standard I subscribe to nt Sheepshank Oct 2015 #141

Bernie is a fellow traveler too. More so than some DINOs I could name. Spitfire of ATJ Oct 2015 #145

what does that have to do with you call me a teabagger? Sheepshank Oct 2015 #147

I didn't. I said the tactic came from the same mindset.... Spitfire of ATJ Oct 2015 #152

Repetition is a learned tactic Sheepshank Oct 2015 #153

Depends on your definition of a Democrat.... Spitfire of ATJ Oct 2015 #156

A Republican POTUS selects chair of GOP. HooptieWagon Oct 2015 #59

It is clear now, but not how it was worded before. Sheepshank Oct 2015 #80

Officially, the DNC elects the chair. HooptieWagon Oct 2015 #93

I completely understand what you mean Sheepshank Oct 2015 #100

DNC has nothing to gain by teabaggist type obstruction. HooptieWagon Oct 2015 #108

He's running as a dem. Ergo as of now he is a dem. Elmer S. E. Dump Oct 2015 #125

You are repeating yourself Sheepshank Oct 2015 #129

And you keep parroting the "he's not a Democrat" line. HooptieWagon Oct 2015 #158

I'll keep stating the obvious as often as I please. Sheepshank Oct 2015 #159

Thank you for your "concern" Z_California Oct 2015 #63

yes...I'm concerned about party building Sheepshank Oct 2015 #82

If Bernie didn't believe in D party values Z_California Oct 2015 #83

as soon as he says that he is a Democrat and walks this back Sheepshank Oct 2015 #85

Maybe you want to have those like Strom Thurmond back as Democrats? cascadiance Oct 2015 #90

what a strange comment? Sheepshank Oct 2015 #98

It seems your ONLY criteria to criticize him is that he's not a Democratic Party member... cascadiance Oct 2015 #101

yup, on this thread I'm trying to keep on topic. n/t Sheepshank Oct 2015 #103

Glad to see you acknowledge your own meaninglessness! cascadiance Oct 2015 #109

and your attempt to constantly derail the topic at hand Sheepshank Oct 2015 #115

Running for the Democratic nomination in the primary makes a politician a Democrat. Alittleliberal Oct 2015 #78

nope...that doesn't automatically make them a Dem Sheepshank Oct 2015 #84

He disses UNDEMOCRATIC principles by those who CLAIM to have them but really serve 1% rule! cascadiance Oct 2015 #89

When or where has Bernie ever said he wants to be a Democrat? Sheepshank Oct 2015 #92

Like I have said before. WHEN CRABS ROAR Oct 2015 #119

I'm not crazy about the way the party has shifted to the right, are you? Spitfire of ATJ Oct 2015 #157

So, where's the quote that says "he never wants to be one"? cascadiance Oct 2015 #91

You attempt to imply that he is a Dem because you think he is like a Dem Sheepshank Oct 2015 #95

He knows that to run as an independent blondie58 Oct 2015 #117

He's more of a democrat than many Dems tblue Oct 2015 #131
