3. I love when Sanders gets that wacky professor look going in his floor speeches
I love Bernie, but he gets that whispy hair going on top of his head.

is almost 70 and still sharp as a tack. Republicans are such shills. Against big government..(which apparently is defined by putting power back in the hands of the non elite) but are ok with big government when it's expanding the military's presence and unpaid tax cuts for the wealthiest. They want control over the rights of women, gays and immigrants. Gotta keep the great unwashed in their place ya know.

In essence republicans have no interest in average citizens. They dismantle previous government of any regulations that protect or make our lives better. They're against public education, fair wages, social security and medicare. They actually hate government and really have no business getting elected because they abuse the office for personal gain of their party and their big business contributors.

They always outspend democratic presidents and usually cause economic disasters that someone else has to clean up. When it's finally back on track they come in and do it all over again. Honestly why do they keep getting in office with this kind of non leadership?
Yet they run as the party of religious and moral values? The wealth inequality hasn't been this bad since the 20's. Half of America has 2.5% of the wealth Just look at these maps. http://tinyurl.com/y2b9k57 And when we fight back they call us socialists? Pardon me
:wtf:

7. If Microsoft were a Bank it would have been left alone
United States v. Microsoft was a set of consolidated civil actions filed against Microsoft Corporation pursuant to the Sherman Antitrust Act on May 18, 1998 by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and 20 U.S. states. Joel I. Klein was the lead prosecutor. The plaintiffs alleged that Microsoft abused monopoly power on Intel-based personal computers in its handling of operating system sales and web browser sales

8. I just luv that guy!
If only...if only he and Kucinich teamed up to run..if only...

I always remember when he literally eviscerated Alan Greenspan regarding the not so wise former head of the fed who caused most of this crap we face now. Greenspan just sat there taking the salvos like a kid who done something very bad and was caught by the teacher...

Good ol' socialist! He indirectly points out that rightwingers are total fucking phonies. They yap-yap-yap about "big government" but their yapping means shit. They're like those stupid yappy little spoiled brat dogs that some old ladies have. (My aunt had one.) Their idols Reagan, Bush, etc. did more to increase government than anybody ever did! When they yap about "big government" what they really mean is they don't like democracy. "Big government" in the mouth of a rightwinger is code for "fuck democracy" because it tends to limit the powers of the giant oligarchs. Any thoughtful person will tell you the truth: big business IS a form of government.. but a totally anti-democratic one. What 'wingers all want is anti-democracy, anti-freedom, anti-Americanism. It's a scam, a con, a hustle, a trick. They are dishonestly promoting neo-feudalism (which is TOTALLY ANTI-AMERICAN!) because they figure they can suckhole to the oligarchs and get jobs as whores (which is exactly what they are) while turning the rest of us into hopeless serfs, slaving for the benefit of only the few (and of course their whores). It's tragic there are so many uneducated, unthoughtful people who are lured into believing the lies of the rightwingers. It's the tragedy of democracy that the thoughtful people are the meat in the sandwich between the oligarchs and the uneducated people who are so easily led by phoney bullshit. Need I mention the 'Baggers? Naw, thought not. We know, don't we, how tragic this all is.
