Bernie Sanders needs to filibuster the tax deal
He suggested he would filibuster the healthcare bill if it didn't have a public option. He caved on that. I hope in this case he follows through, if he does I will respect him more than I ever have before. If he caves then he is just another politician that doesn't truly stand for much of anything.

Come on Bernie, give them hell!

1. Someone told me he was a SOCIALIST this morning.
Maybe he better not. :)

2. He's done more to fight back against this than anyone else in this country.
I don't think it's a matter of "caving". That verb is applied much more aptly to Mr. obama.

I hope he does filibuster. But the entire burden can't be on him.

3. They'll have the 60 votes to stop it.
There isn't a Repug that will vote against it and there are plenty of DINOs that will vote for it.
