3. He's an idiot if he really believes that crap and
not only parroting what he's being told what to say. Well one doesn't excludes the other.

8. It's a good thing we got Obama and the Senate to stand up to them!
Oh, wait... That's just Bernie Sanders.
Sorry to be so negative about this, but I can't help but feel like the working class is on our own. We've just got the liberal-corporate party vs the conservative-corporate party. They've got no reason to hide anymore because they're all bought and paid for!

9. what this loose cannon says in public is how BOTH parties vote at the end of the day
For every decent soul like Bernie Sanders, there are hundreds of corporatist Democrats and Republican masquerading as populists (both so-called left and right-striped), and defenders of the of the working classes (Democrats) or small business owners (Republicans) with their rhetoric whilst voting like a GE, Comcast or Haliburton board member.

11. We're SO fucked.
There's no arguing with this mindset. It's whack-a-mole, platinum edition. This whole damned nation has to pull off a "Madison" - or Egypt - or some such uprising.

12. The mentally infirm serving as legislators
is a national embarrassment. One look at the Republican caucus in Congress says the United States is on the cliff waiting for a push.

14. You are dumb Congressman Pyle, but do you expect me to believe you don't know right form left?!?
Corporations aren't fleeing because our tax rates are soooo damn high. It's not like they're paying them anyway, right? They are fleeing the living wage. If a steel or rubber company can pay someone in China $.75 an hour to do the same job that costs $18/hr here, with no environmental regulations and minimal worker safety regulations, then they are going to say "Fuck America". Take that to the Bank of America Congressman Pyle!
