Takes me back... to the good old days. Good because -- despite Vietnam (and that was BAD), MLK and RFK were still with us and the media wasn't the consolidated, corporate-conglomerate owned, politically biased, infotainment BS it has become. And I was young

Before everything went to hell in 1968.

There was some hope again in 1992 with the man from Hope, but not so such much after the distraction of the repuke investigations and impeachment wore off and his policies were apparent: NAFTA, Telecommunications Act, Crime Bill, Welfare Deform, Glass-Steagall reversal.

There was some hope again in 2008 with Obama's hope and change, but truth be told we needed an FDR Democrat, not Clinton version 2.0 with Wall Streeters at Treasury, warhawks at State, privatizers in Education, and a Heritage Foundation hatched health insurance policy for the nation.

This time, there is real HOPE again with a true, consistent progressive, an FDR/JFK DEMOCRAT.

Something is indeed happening here... we're feeling the Bern!
