You know what this feels like?

Being a Bernie supporter feels a bit like running against George W... The endless lies and fear especially...

Every day we get a new anti-Bernie bombshell and we all know that if we Google it, it will turn out to be a lie.

This is EXACTLY how it felt under Bush. This is in fact what led Colbert to famously state that the truth has a liberal bias.

Anyway... It's an odd thing to feel, in the primary...

.....but I believe the Clintons may be even more corrupt than the Bushes. And I have found the Bushes revolting for many years now.

It's the Foundation's pay to play while Hillary was SoS, and the deals with countries with human rights violations getting arms deals after they donated, and so on.

Every action seems corrupted by the lust for money and power.

In fact, I believe that Clinton may be the most corrupt politician in Washington. In either party. As far as I know no one else has amassed $50m in personal money just from speaking fees. And I highly doubt the people paying her were doing it out of the goodness of their heart.

If it walks like a duck and all....

I supported Hillary after Kucinich and then Edwards dropped out in 2008. However, after everything that has come to light since then.....I just can't. Too much corruption and I think there will be more uncovered.

The Republicans are never quite as dead as they would appear to be.

The campaigning will probably be just as crazy come September.
I think Bernie can win it, though.
