Hi Everyone

I live in a very red and corrupt state, with a very weak DP, but they are regrouping. Last campaign I worked for was George McGovern, who was a wonderful man, but you all know how that turned out. Often I wonder what would have happened if he would have gotten to be president. Now we have Bernie, who is my candidate. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to work to get him elected. Being semi retired, I have a lot of time to read news and research, so spend a lot of time online and love to read the comments on many news sites. Somewhere over the last 7-8 years I have become a news junkie. Love to share info I have found and try to make sure I have my fact straight before I post. Nice to meet you all!

Koch's contribute to some of the Dems.

There are various sites that have talked about it, and makes me wonder, just as the person who started this thread. What is going on behind the scenes? Both parties are for corporations and banks, which is the big prize for all of them and a steady income. The rest of the issues are just something to keep the unwashed masses up in the air and angry, which is a good smoke screen. Underneath none of them are really for the people.
Over the last years the Dems have not put up much of a fight to refute the many of Reps lies, or call them out on their vile behaviors. I read news much of the day, as it is my hobby and I am retired. Only recently have I seen a bit more calling out, probably due to the total outrageousness of the Donald. Bernie is usually the one who is calling them out, including Hillary. Hillary pretty much keeps her mouth shut as most Dems have. When her PAC was lying about Sanders she said nothing and that is with in the same party.

When I read the 1st post, I was rather flabbergasted, as I thought maybe I was the only one who questioned this.
