I just do not like it. Does everything have to be a snark? And do they really like Rand Paul?

My God! Every TV channel has moved to the right.

Every time I was just ready to turn the sound off, Bernie would cut in and keep me listening. He is exactly the right man to lead the country today.

He stops stupidity in its tracks.

by the host and other guests on this show, but Bernie kept on taking them back to the economic issues that really count. I can almost see a political dynamic developing in this country that you can placate the young people by making some concessions on social issues like marijuana legalization and gay marriage - while you're giving them the "royal screw" on the real bread and butter issues. But that kind of a policy will only go so far before revolution and civil unrest are inevitable.

OK - it seems like they got a "Yes" answer out of Bernie in terms of his running for the presidency. But this, again was a ploy to manipulate and trivialize both the potential candidate and the political process, to make it into some kind of lighthearted game or entertainment. But Bernie wants the electorate to take things more seriously - and he wants his candidacy to really count.

Ron Paul. I think he passed the nonsense test of that rather creepy, I think someone used the right word -- superficial -- TV crew.
