But, but....

What do you eat on Monday?

That's not deflecting, that's calling you out for using a moniker that you do not understand.

I think that is exactly what I asked you - your rations on Monday.

we are in a constitutional crisis! The party of NO has decided that they will not confirm a replacement during Obama's term. Revolution might be the only hope, and it's a great opportunity for Bernie to lead and show what his coalition can do.

I've been following the news and everyone agrees that Obama's nominees are not likely to be confirmed. This provides an opening for Bernie and Hillary, though she's not the one promising a revolution.

When they made Bernie they broke the mold. Not many well know Socialists in the wings.

and the Revolution is going to need anther leader soon if it is ultimately going to get anything done. Trump has some similarities; maybe he can fill in temporarily.

"Cajun" credentials to "voodoo" us all into ignoring her ethical issues, the fact that the Clinton Foundation took in large amounts of donations from foreign countries in weapons deals while she was Secretary of State ...

Oh wait. That one just stopped me at the curb.

That will get played 24/7 against a Republican candidate. They aren't using it now, because that is the big ole cannon in the dark.

to do today.

She needs all the help she can get and all they're doing is posting the same tired memes over and over again.

If they're so concerned shouldn't they be doing something to help?

He's so damn bland, the family has to be forcing him to run.

I know this is a side note, but seriously, I have never seen a less enthusiastic candidate than Jeb "Please clap" Bush.

Lucky for us Bernie doesn't have that problem.

It's easy to see why Hillary supporters are so jealous of our enthusiasm, this is just the latest attempt to drown us out by carpet bombing this forum.

Standing by, wringing their hands, slandering the ambulance when the Jaws of Life are clearly needed to extract the people in the wreck is about the best that Hillary's supporters, lately, can do.

Well, and they can complain that it is taking to long for the emergency team to arrive, do so vocally.

Meanwhile, some folks in the crowd offer water, blankets and kind words to the people that are trapped.

They really must think they can do it without us if Hillary wins the nomination.

Seriously has anyone been keeping track?

Nobody is that dense

But they sure are trying awfully hard to convince us.

that the Revolution is inevitable, the Bernie can do the near impossible, and you almost have me believing it. This is not much to ask of a person of Bernie's great abilities.

Yes we should do a lot.

There is no difference between the candidates on this issue.

We got your point but the several multiple threads on the same topic is starting to seem excessive.

is that Hillary Clinton is not who a vast number of people choose to vote for. They chose Sanders to a near tie in Iowa, and they blew her out of the park in NH.

I think you are about to get your wish - the Revolution is inevitable, and Hillary is not going to lead it.

We wake up in the morning, go about our day, and we discuss Bernie at the dry cleaners. We discuss Bernie while we are getting an oil change. We discuss Bernie while getting our groceries checked out - normal things that encompass the life of most Americans.

That is why he is gaining momentum.

I relate to Bernie, and so does most of the electorate. They don't even have to like him, either, just relate to him and that garners votes from Independents and *shock* Republicans, too.

If anybody should quit, it should be Hillary. She's running against a fellow Democrat that has Democrats energized, Independents voting for him because he takes an unequivocal stand, and a trickle of Republicans so far that would vote for Hillary Clinton if she offered a kidney - and paid for the transplant with her SuperPAC.

and Bernie Sanders is our candidate, will you vote for him?

not with anything substantive at all.

It is in Bernie's interests to get a liberal justice, too, if he thinks he is going to win.

But Bernie is powerless because he's not President! No, he can't! Only the President has power.

I really want to like Sanders but the more he shifts responsibility and blame, the more I think he's full of...

How the hell is that Bernie's fault? He's not in the state government.

...like Bernie who can control the Senate Republicans with the force of his will alone. It time for a taste of the Revolution to come. Bring it on Bernie!

... get in bed with him on the single payer health care plan.

Except I'm one of those "libertarian berniebro's" who believe in freedom of speech.

So go for it, Blazer. Go for that prize.

But I guess its okay if you guys use it.

It will also become clearer to you why Bernie's supporters are infectiously enthusiastic.

But given the problems in his biography and 3 bills passed after 25 years in Congress (2 naming a post office in Vermont), is it enough?

I don't doubt his momentum, and I admire Bernie for his decades' long commitment to his causes, but is it enough?

trying to enlighten people about what's been going on. He's got a lot of virtues that would make him a good president. He's one of just a few politicians, imo, that went into public service for all the right reasons.

Bernie could be our once-in-a-lifetime chance to have an FDR of our own. If we don't try, then shame on us; we've got a golden opportunity right in front of us.

He blew the inevitable out of the race with a 20+% absolutely, positively rock solid win.

Bernie Sanders in Iowa was so close you could starve a fly on the margin.

I think you folks are getting a bit nervous. I've seen everything under the sun thrown at him, much like it was thrown at President Obama.

Does that name ring a bell, President Obama? He was absolutely not able to win for a long time ... until he did.

It's rather annoying that you call yourself a Cajun.

In a neighboring state with demographics that do not reflect the rest of the country. Certainly not a substantial test of leadership.

by that logic I guess he should win NY and Mass as well considering they also border VT, right? XD

His name escapes me now, but I know he's married to some Republican political consultant named Mary Matalin.

Many people have mistaken me for James Carville.

In fact I had a man come up to me while I was waiting for a plane in Atlanta's airport and asked me, "Are you going to be here for a few minutes?" I was puzzled because I didn't know the guy, but I said, "Yes". Before I could say anything else he ran off. A few minutes later he came back huffing and puffing with a brand new copy of the book, "All's Fair". When he handed to me with a sharpie saying "I wish your wife was here so she could sign it too", it became all too clear. I handed the book back to him saying, "I hope you kept your receipt".

True story. But I think I am much better looking than Carville

Wouldn't know boudoin if it was fried up in balls and served with coffee in the morning.

It looks yummy

You can get it through the donut drive through in Breaux Bridge. Instead of asking for donuts, you just ask for fried Boudoin balls and they make them. Yummy breakfast, and you can sip some dang fine coffee while they are frying them. It only takes about two minutes, though, so it isn't inconvenient for the person in the car behind you.

They are probably ordering them, too

There's no rush, the court is more liberal than it was without Scalia and there is no Constitutionally set number of Justices and indeed the court has had both more and fewer members in the past.

A 4-4 tie in the court poses big problems.

Someone checked their email first

With no supporting links, using similar wording. Makes it appear they got orders from above.

and doesn't know what you eat on Monday.

Use similar wording, have absolutely nothing off the script, and impersonate the worst "I'm a Southern Cajun Person" worse than anyone I've ever seen.

Who on earth were they trying to convince? Sensible people obviously were not on the agenda.

to save the day. Why are you so surprised that people are looking at the revolutionary in the room to stop republicans from blocking Obama's Supreme Court nominee? Who else should we look to in a situation like this?

Another thread to throw into the can.

She couldn't convince the American people in 2008 and was a loser

She tried to convince Congress with the power of Bill as President to pass Healthcare reform and was a loser again

She is now anti-TPP and we are patiently waiting for her and Bill to walk the Halls of Congress drumming up "No" votes

From her loses and disappointments has she given up the SCOTUS fight and is now looking to Bernie for the answer because she has none?

Senators and Representatives to do anything.

And Bernie has worked with the Senate Republicans a lot longer, surely his supporters like you have all the faith in the world that he can get this criticalf job done. It should be easy for a man of his talents. Don't you have faith in Bernie.

I think he will be a fantastic President.

or is this just plain *sad*? Damn.

This poor person couldn't pull off a pig in a poke if there was an *actual* pig inside.

smh

Is it just me
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1245877

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

YOUR COMMENTS

This person's constant attacks on another is contrary with purpose of DU. Look not only at this post but all of her other post throughout this thread to understand her constant attacks. We may differ in our political opinions, but none of us deserves to have our identities attacked constantly. If this were the first time this occurred, I would probably do as I did here and just ignore her. However, this has become a pattern in her behavior towards me. For me, this is not about which candidates she and support. This is about civil behavior on a discussion board. If you on the jury do not think a hide is in order, perhaps a warning from multiple jurors would suffice.

Personally I have all the faith in the world that he can do the things that I consider important. I have all the faith in the world that Obama can take care of this supreme court matter and cement his own legacy.

Astoundingly they maintain their faith unperturbed even in the face of indications and even solid evidence to the contrary. Such people have often been called, "True Believers".

Check out the book: The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements by Eric Hoffer. The was published back in 1951 (I read it for a class in college), but it still considered one of the most important books on the physiology mass movements.

To me, Bernie's revolution is getting to look more like a mass movement everyday. You might want to check out the book.

Either way I don't care I'm bored with this game and trashing the thread . Bye

He'll be like the Tasmanian Devil! What a brilliant and inspirational idea!

so we can finally find out what she really is "The Champion" of.

Not me!

Bernie is NOT president. Yet.
Neither is HRC, so now is not the time.
Barack Obama is the president until next year.

Mr. Sanders, Vermont independent, said the nation wants a “full contingent” on the high court and that Senate Republicans should drop their plans to stave off any nomination until a new president is in place.

“Let’s get on with that business,” Mr. Sanders told “Fox News Sunday.”

As i suspect you know.

Effective Senators do far more than just introduce bills and vote of them along with Presidential appointments. Heck, it that was all they did their sessions would only need to last one week a year. No, effective Senators are always working on the Senate floor and in background with their colleagues to get what they want done. This is what Bernie will have to do as President to get his programs passed in a Congress where the Republicans will at least control the House, along with running the country of course, so let's see what he can do now with this important issue.

This is Obama's job, not Bernie's. And how do you or anyone else know what background work Bernie might be doing? You are making assumptions because he isn't running off at the mouth about it like your candidate, who, by the way, has no vote on it. Bernie does.

If Sanders has some how mobilized millions and millions of voters who will be able to force the GOP to (1) adopt a $15 per hour minimum wage, (ii) a single payer health care system and (iii) increase taxes on the 1%, then it should be a simple matter for Sanders to get President Obama's nominee approved.

If the Sanders revolution is not up to this simple task, then how will the Sanders revolution accomplish anything if Sander is elected?

If you don't know what he plans to do, you aren't really listening to him.

Your concern is noted, though.
