I call him "Saint" Bernard -- why?

* Because he wants to rescue America, just as these dogs used to run rescue missions

* Because he has a "dog"-ged determination to pursue justice (Ouch...I know!)

* Because the St. Bernard is a working dog, and Bernie supports the working poor and middle class

* Because these dogs are just awesome, and so is Bernie.

Seriously, Bernie Sanders is the first candidate I've been wholeheartedly excited about in a long time. He's someone whose record backs up what he says his views are, and has common-sense ideas like Medicare for all.

I'm looking forward to the debates, because I think he'll mop the floor with anyone he faces, in either party.

Feel the Bern 2016!

Bernie is the reason that I, for the first time in my life, cared to get involved with our nations politics. I never cared for the lesser of two evils the elections had always presented us, but Bernie is the very first person that I've agreed 100% with!

That said, I wonder if he owns a dog?

I'm always so glad when I hear about people getting involved with politics because Bernie has inspired them.

Meanwhile, Basement Cat keeps loading up his minions in the GOP clown car.

It'll be used like the "messiah" shit from 2008. No thank you.
