Things are said to have become so panicked and contentious inside 430 S. Capitol St, (DNC headquarters) that current DNC Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been warned this could prove the end of her career if she does not somehow find a way to successfully navigate the morass of the Bernie Sanders phenomena. [If she fails], "She won't be able to get a job washing dishes in this town."
I’m torn as to whether I want us to face Bernie or Hillary. The prospect of a Hillary presidency is so sickening to me that I fond it fascinating that a somewhat honest socialist seems less risky, even though he “polls better”
I love seeing a YUGE ego deflated. Geez, I wonder if hildebeast will need some self esteem therapy if uncle bernie beats her. She’s always go huma weiner.
"I have suggested that the scheme of Socialism is wholly incomplete unless it includes a power of restraining the increase of population, which power is so unwelcome to Englishmen that the very mention of it seems to require an apology. I have showed that in France, where restraints on multiplication have been adopted into the popular code of morals, there is discontent on the one hand at the slow rate of increase, while on the other, there is still a 'proletariat,' and Socialism is still a power in politics.

"I have put the question, how Socialism would treat the residuum of the working class and of all classes—the class, not specially vicious, nor even necessarily idle, but below the average in power of will and in steadiness of purpose. I have intimated that such persons, if they belong to the upper or middle classes, are kept straight by the fear of falling out of class, and in the working class by positive fear of want. But since Socialism purposes to eliminate the fear of want, and since under Socialism the hierarchy of classes will either not exist at all or be wholly transformed, there remains for such persons no motive at all except physical coercion. Are we to imprison or flog all the 'ne'er-do-wells'?

"I began this paper by pointing out that there are inequalities and anomalies in the material world, some of which, like the obliquity of the ecliptic and the consequent inequality of the day's length, cannot be redressed at all. Others, like the caprices of sunshine and rainfall in different climates, can be mitigated, but must on the whole be endured. I am very far from asserting that the inequalities and anomalies of human society are strictly parallel with those of material nature. I fully admit that we are under an obligation to control nature so far as we can. But I think I have shown that the Socialist scheme cannot be relied upon to control nature, because it refuses to obey her. Socialism attempts to vanquish nature by a front attack. Individualism, on the contrary, is the recognition, in social politics, that nature has a beneficent as well as a malignant side. The struggle for life provides for the various wants of the human race, in somewhat the same way as the climatic struggle of the elements provides for vegetable and animal life—imperfectly, that is, and in a manner strongly marked by inequalities and anomalies. By taking advantage of prevalent tendencies, it is possible to mitigate these anomalies and inequalities, but all experience shows that it is impossible to do away with them. All history, moreover, is the record of the triumph of Individualism over something which was virtually Socialism or Collectivism, though not called by that name. In early days, and even at this day under archaic civilisations, the note of social life is the absence of freedom. But under every progressive civilisation, freedom has made decisive strides—broadened down, as the poet says, from precedent to precedent. And it has been rightly and naturally so.

"Freedom is the most valuable of all human possessions, next after life itself. It is more valuable, in a manner, than even health. No human agency can secure health; but good laws, justly administered, can and do secure freedom. Freedom, indeed, is almost the only thing that law can secure. Law cannot secure equality, nor can it secure prosperity. In the direction of equality, all that law can do is to secure fair play, which is equality of rights but is not equality of conditions. In the direction of prosperity, all that law can do is to keep the road open. That is the Quintessence of Individualism, and it may fairly challenge comparison with that Quintessence of Socialism we have been discussing. Socialism, disguise it how we may, is the negation of Freedom. That it is so, and that it is also a scheme not capable of producing even material comfort in exchange for the abnegations of Freedom, I think the foregoing considerations amply prove."

Bernie won’t actually destroy the Dem party, but rather lift the curtain and reveal who they really are and what they really stand for.
Boo hoo for washed up Debbie.
Last time I saw a girl with a face like Debbie, she was hanging out of the passenger side window of my F-150 barfing Meister Brau through both nostrils!
DAMMIT ZAK, A WARNING WILL YA!!!
Yes. The D party bosses know Hillary is a terrible candidate - and they desperately don’t want to lose. They realize Bernie is problematic too, but he could win while Hillary has to be kept hidden from the voters —— it seems amazing they haven’t come up with a more viable candidate but if they remain stuck with what they’ve got - they’ll definitely choose Bernie. Winnjng is everything when you’re milking the government ( taxpayers) for trillions of dollars and special favors.
They have no idea what to do with Sanders. They don’t want to offend and politically displace his supporters while at the same time knowing that if this thing continues to grow, it will destroy the Democrat Party.”
I raked this stuff out of the corrals this morning before feeding the horses. Sander’s is doing exactly what the Democrat Party wants him to do. Just like Obama he’s doing as he’s told by the almighty party.
“.....[If she fails], “She won’t be able to get a job washing dishes in this town.”
More horsecrap. She’s doing as the party tells her. No more. No less.
The Party, the Democrat Party is the source of life for every Democrat that walks the party line. The party is everything. The Democrat lives for the party, NOT the people.
I absolutely believe the current crop of Americans will elect a Bernie Sanders. DNC has nothing to worry about. They already elected a communist.
They will have no choice...
It will piss off the Hispanic voter base because they are expecting an Hispanic VP pick...
It will be a calculated move, but one they must make...
Bernie will take it knowing this will be his one shot at being more than a old angry commie hippie from a small state...
Hillary will promise him to let him be her attack dog on Wall street...
Bern the Witch!
They’ve threatened to fire Debbie Blabbermouth Shultz several times, but it ain’t happened yet.
I didn’t know Chelsea had such an ugly big sister?
If not for the Democrat Party's selection of Hillary Clinton as its 2016 nominee (a direct result of an earlier agreement between the Obama and Clinton Machines) Bernie Sanders would not be posing a serious challenge for the Democrat presidential nomination.
Spot on. And I daresay that if the Republican Party establishment was not so hell bent on foisting Jebbie Bush upon us as their hand-picked 2016 nominee, then Donald Trump would probably not be a serious challenger today.
A pox on both their houses for screwing us over. I hope both Bernie and Trump crush it and win their nominations. Then I sincerely hope that Trump crushes Bernie in the general or I might have to move to Australia.
It looks like both party leaders have their panties in a bunch. Maybe Bush and Hillary should run as independents. LOL
This was an invigorating and heartening read.
I could lose a whole lot of excess body fat just thinking about her handling my dishes.
I think Hillary’s people cheated the vote in Iowa and that Sanders won Iowa...
Maybe it’s that kind of corruption and lying that make people NOT support Hillary.
