They even praise DWS


9. I have no problem at all with DWS, and neither do most actual Democrats
The BoBs don't matter.


That's a response I got tonight. I'm living in a freakin alternate universe when I visit this site.

I'm soon to be JPR only. Not just for this but for the endless bullshit, the stacked juries, the plotting and planning they so obviously do.

This little nugget just made my day though. Again, they have a way of talking to us like WE are crazy for not thinking the twisted way they do

a right wing thing, but the 2008 primary season showed me the error of my ways.

The reason I registered as a Democrat for my first election in 1972 was that the Republicans were an institutionally corrupt party. It would be like the Republicans, not Democrats, to block regulation of payday lending, making loan sharking legal. Any Democrat who doesn't have a problem with DWS doesn't have a problem with something as corrupt as legalized loan sharking.

Maybe it was the same guy who thought we Sandernistas were insane for wanting to investigate Wall Street criminals, whom he called "our donors." As a Democrat, that kind of nonsense just makes me want to take a shower.

Don't forget, many have to be paid in order to espouse corporatist/militarist opinions.

Look at the rally sizes in this campaign.

The south dropped the ball this cycle, there can be no denying that.

Bernie will still end up the nominee, but it could have been a lot easier.
