Bernie Sanders calls faith a "guiding principle in my life"

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/bernie-sanders-calls-faith-a-guiding-principle-in-my-life/

Six days ahead of the New Hampshire primary, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday night opened up about his personal life and background, telling voters at a televised town hall that faith is "a guiding principle in my life, absolutely it is."

"Everybody practices religion in a different way," Sanders, who is Jewish, said at the CNN town hall in Derry, New Hampshire. "I would not be here tonight, I would not be running for president, if I didn't have very strong religious and spiritual feelings."

Then he showed Obama more love. All of a sudden, he's
a big Obama fan. What a phony.

The reality is somewhere in between black and white.

I admit it. I hope you will too.
