but the fact that anyone could conclude that Bernie might 'just in it for himself" baffles me and tells me that person knows nothing about the man His lifelong embrace of the common good over personal gain is a matter of record, not opinion. As one example, he's been, for the vast majority of his time in the Senate, the POOREST person in it, so he's clearly not in it for the money..

This being the case, I'm curious as to what -- for himself -- you think he's "just in it for"?
