I never thought I’d see the day with such pandering, unpatriotic imbeciles in my lifetime. Or the lifetimes of my kids...

Team red and team blue are now so similar it is hard to tell them apart. Can't make it work here in the USA the old way so we are headed towards the NWO which is more a socialist/semi-capitalist blend. Quasi-europe if you will.
As it is stated many many time "this is unsustainable." The NWO is coming and soon.
Obama and Sanders the same person, come on man, due some research. The TPP is just one example, Sanders would veto that as president, Obama is for it. Follow the money that elected Obama, he has to pay that back somehow. This system is broke, the parties cannot let the other claim victory on anything, no matter how it effects the people.
It veered in that direction with your post 2oqb.
A thread of tools
uuuhhhhh....and congress has done productive what in 8 years..?
I don't know if you can post an empty white box as an answer but it would be fitting.
So, 2jii, who will be better for the workingman and workingwoman, as well as for the middle class?
And, just so you know, Sanders and Obama are not the same person. That seems to have somehow been confused in your mind.
No I won't give him a chance.... 8 years ago it was the same song and dance...hope & change...give the guy a chance....he's really for the working man...he really supports the unions....he's going to crack down on the corporations....he's going to fix Wall Street....the result...a big fat lie....Bernie is not, nor will he be any different.

Great post! Unions are dying and we have one guy in the race that might help. Look at the other folks in this race, come on.
Bernie Sanders brings up a hundred legitimate beefs of the working man that all of the Republicans (and even most of the Democrats) have no answer for. The Trans Pacific Partnership, outsourcing, H1-B abuses, tax inversions, off shore tax shelters of the rich, bailing out of crooked Wall Streeters, no jail time for those same crooked Wall Streeters, subsidizing oil/military/pharmaceutical industry. The demonization of unions, CEO's making 18 million bucks a year and yet trying to grab the workers pensions ( does this one sound familiar to anybody here on this site?). I could go on with this list for 15 minutes, but I think you get the idea. And yet the Rush Limbaugh/Fox crowd will chant "commie". I'm willing to pay taxes if the money is used properly. I guess it's ok to use half the annual budget money on billion dollar military planes that can't fly, rather than sending your kids to college or giving people health care coverage. SMH.

You say something needs to be done, by who? Stay the course and we will continue down this path. Give the guy a shot, again a 4 year chance to see some different results, not a tough choice. You are going to be taxed anyway.
Yeah I know, MSNBC & Huffington post spew only truth...I wish I was as enlightened as you....
1uru, you're getting your skewed "facts" from talk radio. Keep voting against your own interests. You deserve what little you get.
1tbu.... You are the one that needs to "open your eyes". According to Bernie, if you make more than 30k a year, you are the so called rich of society, that is wrongfully taking more than you earn. Ask his own staff people whom he pays lower than minimum wage. The only way to pay for all the proposals he plans for is by taxing all the rich AND middle class. You can take 100% of the top 5% income made annually, and it still won't cover even 1/2 the current government spending, much less what he is proposing. Would some of the feel good ideas he spews be nice, of course...can we realistically pay for them, of course not. Does something need to be done to counteract corporate greed, of course....is Bernie the guy to do it, of course not. Peace.
VZ will always be a dumb teleco. Top tier company shares trade like...
Google - $714.54
Amazon - $600.12
Apple - $100.11
VZ - 48.08
Even Chipotle is higher - $448
VZ will never bring true innovation to the marketplace. They're drinking the Kool-Aid with GoHome/ByeFelecia/Go90. Of course they won't tell subscribers for it -- they're ghost!! Move on - there are other companies with real innovation. VZ is not the only game in town!
Stop feeling so bad - VZ is just a dumb pipeline and it will always be one. The top tier companies shares trade like...
Amazon - $600.12
Google - $714.54
Apple - $100.11
VZ - $48.08
Even Chipotle is trading higher - $448
While VZ has the most customers - it totally lacks true innovation that's game changing. Let them keep drinking the Kool-Aid and spending $$$ on things like GoHome/ByeFelecia/Go90! Of course they won't tell the number of subscribers for Go90 -- they're ghost. VZ is not the great company anymore. It will always try to catch up. The culture and the org structure needs to totally change to get real innovation. Move on - get with a company that's truly progressive. VZ is not the only game in town!!
izzb, you're a slave, albeit a paid one, who believes his government master is benevolent, even while that master is letting his benefactor buddies have their way with you. Open your eyes.
Trump vs. Sanders.
I am all for this election. What we currently have is unsustainable.
Even if it will take awhile, you have to start pushing in the right direction, rather than burying your head in the sand with a nothing-will-ever-change attitude. Rome was not built in a day (but it fell pretty quickly).
It's all about pushing in a different direction, even if it's hard, and will take time. Rome wasn't built in a day, but was torn down far more quickly.
Why is it illogical for the majority of people in this nation to stop being beat up upon for the benefit of a few with deep pockets. The mere fact that you label it "illogical" shows your the "mind numb" one, rather than they. What's your slogan? Status Quo Forever!
But those same mind numb robots on the other side of the spectrum screaming "feel the Bern", or Bernie's completely illogical and unrealistic "promises" are any better?
1kox, that is not logic you're displaying.
For one, I never mentioned Sanders.
You then argue that Congress is in the back pocket of the one percent, so it therefore makes no sense to elect someone who would object to that system. That's peculiar reasoning at best.
As for the back-peddling that Trump did not "personally" declare bankruptcy, it nonetheless shows that the organizations that he ran had misjudgments, hit hard times and, eventually stiffed the people they owed. You're arguing to put that very same leadership in charge of the US? When things inevitably go wrong, are you going to similarly argue it's not Trump "personally" to blame, but rather, the country he's running? That isn't logic, nor is the fact that a man can say anything, often contradictory, and it doesn't matter to the sheep.
Do you think people who consider themselves conservatives and are supporting him care that Trump's for government subsidized corn ethanol, even though it's a losing proposition? They sure would, if it were anyone else, but Trump is teflon to the blind. Just wait until the Iowa Caucus is over, and see if he morphs into anti-corn ethanol subsidies, for expedience, and because Iowa's no longer so important.
The man's a snake oil salesman who possesses many views that do not jibe with those that end up supporting him regardless, those inanely chanting "Go Trump" like drugged drones, blindly supporting him anyway, even though he has plainly said he supports positions that, if passed, will hurt their wellbeing.
It was mentioned earlier that he called "wages too high" in America. I ask you, are your wages too high? If the answer's no, why would you vote for a man who thinks they are?
Trump all the way!!! There's a revolution coming, can't you feel it...? Trump for President!
1xqq trump has never filed bankruptcy personally. He only used chapter 11 as a business tool to reorganize/restructure debt. (Much like i expect we will see vz do at some point if the yahoo deal happens.). I do agree getting endorsed by palin was an incredibly stupid move. But i really don't understand everyone with these pie in the sky Bernie is our savior fantasies. He says he's gonna get the middle class what's been taken from them by taking back from the 1%. Great plan if he could do it himself, only problem is he can't do anything without congress, majority of which have the 1% in their back pockets. So, good luck with the Bernie thing... I'm sure it will be as successful as go90
Trump says he's going to hire the "best people".
Were they his best people, those that he hired to make the ad to show his support for veterans, but erroneously used footage of Russian veterans?
And who thought it a good idea to have Trump standing up on stage looking terribly uncomfortable beside an erratic, rambling, schizophrenic-sounding Sarah Palin giving her meaningless endorsement? It was painful to watch. But, then again, she brought so much luck to McCain.
Speaking of McCain, Trump recently commented "I like people that weren't captured." So, does a President Trump look down his nose with disdain at armed services members who get captured going forward? What does he feel about the Navy people who were captured by Iran recently? Does he not like them?
What about his trying to bully Megan Kelly into submission?
What of all those undocumented immigrants working under him?
What of his inability to stop going bankrupt, spending more than he's bringing in, and stiffing creditors/workers? Is that who we need in charge of a multi-trillion dollar budget?
To say nothing of the xenophobia, looking to bash the latest arrivals as the cause of all the nations woes, like the Italians, Irish, Japanese, Africans, were denigrated in past generations by other bigots.
Some of you do not want to see what is right in front of your eyes. The man lacks character.
If you are truly fed up with our government Bernie is the only choice. Having voted many times on the republican side, I really think a change is needed. After four years if it's not working he's out. Big money needs a kick in the groin.
Correct you are pyx. NO TRUMP. Never.
Trump said in a debate Americans get paid too much.
No, TRUMP!
Sanders!
