With the moment of Clarity!

I knew, given some time, you would figure it out. Simple and really sad when it is known where all that corrupting pac cash is stashed away, huh... perhaps a little of those exclusionary per plate discussion cash thrown into the mix..?

I've noticed that Bernie fans have gotten into mind-reading lately. Very entertaining. DanTex Jan 2016 #1
It's mind-bending they're attempting. OP, Hortensis Jan 2016 #5

Please proceed...since you've lumped us all into a psychic activity. Or is it just rhetoric... libdem4life Jan 2016 #8
Yes, it's a psychic activity. There are Clinton supporters on this board, you could just DanTex Jan 2016 #12
I didn't realize it was partisan...I thought we were talking reality. Oh, well, yet again. libdem4life Jan 2016 #19
You don't need to consult anyone. It's an open forum. You can do mind-reading DanTex Jan 2016 #24
Sorry, I mistook the "you could just ask us" as an invitation to consult/ask????? libdem4life Jan 2016 #28

In theory, I think it's fine. Maybe even the best system. DanTex Jan 2016 #66

I believe the title of the piece contained the word 'crony': sulphurdunn Jan 2016 #68
This is what I got from the OP as well... ut oh Jan 2016 #127
Are you one of Hillary's cronies? passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #36
I thought you were a supporter, not a cronie........I stand corrected. eom zalinda Jan 2016 #86
The OP did not say anything about supporters Lordquinton Jan 2016 #101
It's not YOUR money that is concerning LiberalLovinLug Jan 2016 #164
Following the money is mind-reading now? Odin2005 Jan 2016 #13
The OP is trying to read the minds of Hillary supporters. It is entertaining. DanTex Jan 2016 #16
It's quite easy to read the minds of her REAL (that is, corporate) supporters. Odin2005 Jan 2016 #17
Well, at least you admit you're mind-reading. I was right! DanTex Jan 2016 #18
Good lawd this is a dense thread. The poster knows of what he speaks, as do I. libdem4life Jan 2016 #22
You don't need a tarot card to see which way the wind blows. Hassin Bin Sober Jan 2016 #48
Or a wet finger to watch hows the turds flow nolabels Jan 2016 #89
I don't see the word supporters in the OP passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #38
Of course not. That would be way too civil. Bernie has "supporters", Hillary has "cronies". DanTex Jan 2016 #40
I think you misread the op passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #41
So I guess that makes people like Ben and Jerry Bernie's cronies? DanTex Jan 2016 #45
Of course cronies (like Ben and Jerry) are going to be supporters too passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #46
The OP claims to know what other people think. Mind reading. DanTex Jan 2016 #47
And you are mind reading by assuming croneis means all supporters passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #49
Yes, we all have opinions. DanTex Jan 2016 #51
Fact, single payer is going nowhere? Now who's playing with tarot cards? passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #53
Please. How many votes does it get? Even 20 in the Senate? 15? 10? DanTex Jan 2016 #54
Yes, wealth does not always correlate to greed passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #62
I agree with most of that -- it will be hard for anyone to get stuff passed. DanTex Jan 2016 #63
Because many of them are capitalist centrists, and it is about wealth for them passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #65
OK, Bill Gates. I don't know his politics in detail, but its a little silly to say that he's DanTex Jan 2016 #67
Seriously? passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #69
Yes, seriously. You think he opposes single payer because his investments would lose money? DanTex Jan 2016 #71
He probably does not oppose single payer passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #73
While I think the OP may be right about many people in the system passiveporcupine Jan 2016 #76
