Most Republicans don't agree with Bernie. No surprise there. But here's the (pleasant) surprise. Most Republicans I've talked to respect Bernie. They see him as an honest and decent person, and not the typical politician who bends the message to fit the moment.

And Bernie's courageous stand against the Iraq invasion resonates with everyone, left and right. As most will now admit, he was correct all along.

I hate to say it, but I doubt if Bernie will get the nomination. But he's still doing a great service to the country! He's showing everyone that honesty and principles still do mean something.

P.S. to a2liberal. I haven't been posting much lately. Thanks for helping me get out of my shell. But I guess Bernie deserves some of the credit too!
