Bernie Sanders Is Building an Army to Take D.C.
Daily Beast ^ | June 15, 2015 | Eleanaor Clift

Posted on 06/15/2015 8:23:20 AM PDT by libstripper

It’ll take an army to change Washington, says the insurgent senator—and with the crowds he’s been drawing, he just might be building one.

Bernie Sanders is mad as hell and he’s not going to take it anymore. That’s why he's running for president. He’s filled with righteous anger about a lot of things, and lots of people agree with him. Close to a thousand people turned out to see him in New Hampshire; 750 in Iowa, one of the largest crowds for any of the candidates. He’s “bulking up” now in terms of his campaign staff and he’s doing pretty well fundraising, too: With 200,000 contributors at 40 bucks a piece, that's $8 million dollars.

Sometimes it's fun and instructive to see what the far left is thinking. This piece fits that criterion. Clift being a card carrying Cougar, it looks like Bernie might just dump a few gallons of well-aimed salt water on the Witch in Iowa and NH.

Be careful with that.

On Tuesday, January 8, 2008 I switched my party registration so I could vote in the NH Democratic Primary (I switched back on the way out, crazy that that's allowed, huh?).

Anyway, I voted for Barack Hussein Obama because he was the only candidate I was certain could not be elected, and to slow down Her Heinous's march to her inevitable coronation.

The rest, I'm sorry to say, is history.

I did the same in 2008. One of the major mistakes in my life was to assume that the American electorate would not be stupid enough to elect Obama. What I did reminds me of the chick in the movie Skeleton Key except I didn’t just screw over myself but the country.

Which leads to an interesting theoretical question. Who would do more damage to the country, a goofy President Sanders or an amoral President Hillary?

I respect Sanders more as a person (not a stretch, as my respect for Hillary is zero). But I shudder to think at who Sanders would appoint to the courts.

On second thought, perhaps the whole question is just too terrible to contemplate.

I know what you mean- it was wrong to help defeat HilLIARy in the primaries- she would have lost the election in a landslide

Lets not make the same mistake

I hope she does win the Dem primaries

Then we need to run Palin/Cruz to take away her “first woman president” - because that is ALL she has, and a lot of them would vote for her because of it (I have met several)

“Clift being a card carrying Cougar.,,,”

Yeah, I’ll just bet Clift is “wet” over the prospects of a Sanders Presidency!

Ya, but Cruz loses me with his H1Bs. That’s not going to help the out of work Americans. Probably just replace more working citizens.

Bernie Sanders is going to scare the hell out of Hillary. The Democrat Party, what remains of it, has moved so far to the Progressive Left that it’s left many of its traditional voters behind.

I think there’s a reasonable probability that the Progressive base that turns out for the early primaries will prefer an honest Sanders over a dishonest Hillary, and that he’ll come close to winning Iowa and might even win New Hampshire after voters see how weak Hillary’s results are in Iowa.

If the U.S. has become an out and out socialist country, so be it, but I think it’s much more likely that Sanders leaves the Democrat Party stranded on a Progressive/Socialist island with food and supplies to support only 30% of the voters.

I thought turning the country over to Pelosi and Reid in 2006, and then adding Obama in 2008, would be devastating to our prospects, but I now think the country can recover nicely, given elections since. However, the Democrat Party might never recover from its full-scale lurch to the Left.

“Maybe, but only if she pissed in her depends.”

She is among the most reprehensible, insufferable Marxists alive today. Even her broom doesn’t like her.

For it to really “recover nicely,” we need to rid ourselves of the Boner/Mc Scrotum Neck “GOPE leadership.”

get over it- name one candidate who is ‘perfect’?

I am sure he can be convinced on that

Yes Eleanor Clift passed away years ago- but you can still see her zombie-like corpse every week on TV

Speaking of rape - or rape fantasies... here's a 'Bernie' to check out:

http://www.amazon.com/Rape-Mind-Psychology-Menticide-Brainwashing/dp/1615773762/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427987451&sr=8-1&keywords=the+rape+of+the+mind

SINCE 1933, when a completely drugged and trial-conditioned human wreck confessed to having started the Reichstag fire in Berlin, Dr. Joost A. M. Meerloo has studied the methods by which systematic mental pressure brings people to abject submission, and by which totalitarians imprint their subjective “truth” on their victims’ minds.
