Another nod from the left

MoveOn, the progressive activist group who once received money from George Soros, has decided to endorse Bernie Sanders for the presidency, giving him yet another accolade from the left wing of the Democratic Party.

Unlike some other political groups, MoveOn’s endorsement is decided by a vote of its members, with a 2/3 majority needed for the official nod to be given. MoveOn endorsed Howard Dean in 2004 and Barack Obama in 2008.

MoveOn, the progressive activist group who once received money from George Soros …
“You shouldn’t receive money from George Soros, Bernie. I received money from George Soros once . . . once.”

I expected that Soros, Penn, others of the liberal cult will endorse Bernie. I *really* think Pelosi and Reid will too.
Just not yet.

Surely there is not one person today who would vote for someone based on an endorsement, surely no one is that thick?

I take this to mean this is where the money and support will go, and that means media.

SANDERS DEPORTED TO SWEDEN
CLAIMS HE'S NOT FROM THERE
Would not mind reading a headline like that in the news any time soon.

My SIL is a Bernie moonbat. She actually moved her fingers across my lips to silence me when I asked if she were socialist. There is no hope for her-but she sure likes the lifestyle she has.

Communist Party USA (CPUSA) has recently penned a 2,023-page open letter expressing its eagerness and enthusiasm on getting to work with the Democratic Party to “advance the modern communist agenda and achieve communist goals.”

Party Chairman John Batchell detailed the party’s strategy in the letter, according to the Daily Caller.

“[L]abor and other key social forces are not about to leave the Democratic Party anytime soon,” Bachtell promised. “They still see Democrats as the most realistic electoral vehicle” to fight against perceived class enemies.

MoveOn, grandpa Bernie. Make Amerika a cradle-to-grave welfare state, Comrade in Chief.

I don’t know. I see her, oh, maybe once per year. She’s nice enough.

I did ask my brother how she and others like her could sit in front of the TV and swoon at 0bama’s every word-and MO’s, too. He said that he didn’t know.

I tell you she is a moonbat, and I now know one. To think of young people being held sway by such men is enough to make you take a deep breath.

Watched the SOTU last night for about 10 minutes and the White House staff as well as most Dems were in awe hanging onto his every word like they were in a cult.
The end was when fairy boy walked out and they had college kids all reaching out their hand as if he were a God.

I saw Teddy Turner

Ted Turner's son

He said he went to Moscow after college

He said listening to Hillary and Bernie he heard it there with the Hammer and Sickle.

Every time I see Bernie, I just imagine the odor of dookie and Ben-Gay.
