even people like Elizabeth Warren have the courage of their convictions. The word heroic is a bit strong although I would consider the people willing to go jail during OWS were pretty heroic.

Not many people have the character to do that.

Bernie or Bust Faithfull are Heroes to Me [View all] laserhaas May 2016 OP

Mentioning the Arkansas rape case and ending with the Benghazi video. No shock you love Bernie or Metric System May 2016 #1

The Benghazi issue is something you should care about. 5000 ManPADs went missing, under her auspice. laserhaas May 2016 #3

And yet you support a candidate who lied to the American public for over a year pinebox May 2016 #8

The Dare-Devil, biker Bernie, is cute laserhaas May 2016 #39

Enough with that garbage. Bleacher Creature May 2016 #27

It's the same exact logic pinebox May 2016 #28

Standing against the mob/bullying mentality - is never a mindset of the lost. laserhaas May 2016 #30

Hillary is just as bad as Trump. Fawke Em May 2016 #52

Your movement can not survive a Trump presidency Demsrule86 May 2016 #15

On the contrary, the "movement" is a revolution against manifest injustice - oligarchy laserhaas May 2016 #19

Well,Trump loves him some BoBs,so you've got that going for you. sufrommich May 2016 #17

That logic, and your thread titled same, is why I wrote this retort. laserhaas May 2016 #37

You won't get sympathy from me and you know my opinion. hrmjustin May 2016 #40

Sad state of affairs 'hrmjustin' - in so many ways laserhaas May 2016 #41

Bernie or Busters are Human Tire Fires BootinUp May 2016 #24

BoBs are Trumpists. Without question. baldguy May 2016 #32

Hmmm, let's take a look at that (perverted) sense of logic. laserhaas May 2016 #35

Fear mongering..brow beating...mud slinging laserhaas May 2016 #65

I love Bernie and have for decades, but if he's not the nominee you have to consider Vinca May 2016 #48
