When you are in the booth making your choice between Bernie, Martin and Hillary

you will be presented with a rare opportunity to change the direction of the nation. Such an opportunity comes only once per generation, if at all.

You can right the wrongs and make a statement that enough is enough.

Are you strong enough to do the right thing? For the nation? For yourself?

Or are you going to do what Wall Street is demanding, hoping that if you do what they say, they'll stop hurting you?

There are two candidates who deserve the nomination based on rock solid principals and a genuine level of engagement and understanding of the real world problems facing a majority of Americans.

And then there's Hillary.

Are you going to make a difference? Or not?

It's as if you think the more anti Hillary stuff you can post the higher Brrnie's poll numbers will go.

Your preaching to the choir here.

You have a few more months

I always strive to post substantive comments indicating my feelings on the issues.

And I doubt I'll be leaving after the primaries, but it is of course so kind for you to wish me well.

We are overdue for a change of direction for our nation.

Bernie has my vote in the primary election.

No more flak jackets. No more armor on Humvees! Don't even give 'em bullets!















Oh wait, that would defeat the purpose. Hillary and the other hawks pounded the war drums for MIC profits, after all.


Stupidest fucking post I've ever read. msongs, you should be ashamed.

I won't get another chance to vote for a candidate the likes of Bernie. I plan to grab this opportunity and vote for the one with integrity and decency. Looking in the mirror is a lot easier that way.

GO BERNIE!

long before it makes it out here, so who the candidate will be -- at the moment --is a matter of supreme indifference to me, much as my vote and opinion are regarded by the DNC.

so my primary vote will be as worthless as it has been since 1968, the last time someone needed a late-voting California's input to secure the nomination.
