4. Enough rope to hang thyself ...

I, for one, see this as a grand, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity ...

Being a Bernie supporter, I am hoping for a groundswell of overwhelming numbers of Bernie supporters flooding voting booths across the nation ..

With that, the congress COULD be swept clear of many TeaHadist numbskulls in the process ...

With an extreme right wing congress pulling these kinds of shenanigans, Bernie's message will ring all the clearer for American voters ...

Either vote for the bastards who are cutting regular families loose to suffer the economic jungle alone, or vote for Bernie and a cadre of like-minded progressives to help reverse this maniacal trend in the congress ...

If Bernie sweeps, congress can be swept too ... It's my dream ....

Yes,they will do their darnedest to kill SS and Medicare with a privatization ploy. The are going into their pay back Wall Street mode. Watch for Legislation to be passed in the dark of night via voice vote. Once we here or see rule changes coming,watch out To damn much Money Flying Around in Washington.

poor, working poor, on Social Security, Disability, SSI, State funded Medicaid, welfare or food stamps could *EVER* vote for a republican, because that repuke, along with the rest of their ilk, would take those benefits away from them in a heartbeat if they could, and slash the wages of those working poor so much that they would have to work 3 jobs just to survive.

I firmly believe that those heartless "family values" and "god-fearing" bastards would snatch your grandma's walker away from her, or the wheel chair out from under her, and leave her laying in the streets! The time passed a long time ago when the Repugnant Party should have been labeled as a Hate Group and a Terrorist Organization or, at the very least, an ongoing criminal enterprise...

FUCK REPUBLICANS... *and* anyone who would vote for them! /rant
