Stopped reading when he said he was going to make a point about personal language against someone (surprise!) he happened to agree with and then turned around and used it against people (surprise!) he happened not to. How convenient. Maybe Bernie Sanders is a wonderful guy, maybe not. But this guy's rhetoric fails the laugh test before I get too far into the second paragraph. His endorsement doesn't do anything to inspire me or convince me.
Bernie's always been great at standing up for what he believes. Not everyone in Vermont may agree with him, but I think he gets a lot of credit for being honest.
Bernie Sanders is a true believer and he sticks to his guns. He's a fucking idiot for believing in what he does, but he's a true believer. I admire that kind of tenacity. That said, I still hope he dies from cancer.
Wasn't it Bernie Sanders who said that Freddie and Fannie were in great shape, while he made millions off investments in them, in an attempt to stonewall audits of them back when people were first asking questions in 2003? Or am I thinking of Chris Dodd?
I think he was in the group. Along with Fat Bastard, I mean Barny Franks and the rest of the mindless politicians who continue to waste our tax money on things like Fannie Mae and Freddie.
