4. DK for sure
They said Paul Wellstone used to make this bankruptcy bill sink like a rock every year when the pukes brought it up. One of the 1 million reasons he is still missed.:(

9. All of them. Just ask them.
All of them will look solemn and constipated and tell you how much they love the working class....until it interferes with their "electability" and fund raising.

11. I think Teddy is the real deal.
He comes from a dark place, but he always seems to be the guy to stand up for wages and working conditions, etc.

23. Very, very few.
And the problem is not limited to just our elected officials--the utter cluelessness about class issues that one finds even in a "progressive" community like this one is discouraging.
