    Are people so dumb or naïve to believe that Obama isn't worse than a Socialist?! Some Rep. candidate has a real opportunity there to educate the populace.

    I'm probably going get blown up for this, but while I don't agree with much of anything he says or believes in, I respect him.

    From what I've seen, he is what he says he is. He doesn't pander and suck up to everyone trying to scrounge up votes; he says "Here's what I am. Vote for me."

    His politics and beliefs are pretty abhorrent to me, but in the world of politics, his honesty is refreshing.

    He sticks to a consistent position. But I have never heard him defend it so that anyone other than a client of government would sympathize.

    Bernie is not a Socialist. He started out as a Socialist. Then he ran Independent. Now he is a Democrat. If elected we come full circle. He would be a Socialist again. I think BS may be full of BS.

    there is the other form that says if I don't go heavily into debt to make sure some store has record sales which they won't have unless Christmas sales are at record highs I''m a a Scrooge. So. for all you stores and politicians that rely on me to survive the rest of the year Bah Humbug! Property rights includes my own money and altruism comes on Boxing Day and doesn't take six months of campaigning for votes or for sales. Christmas as a commerecial holiday should be restricted to after Thanksgiving and politics to one month before elections. I would re entitle the post as Bernie Sanders and the nation get Good News! An Boxing day present no doubt.

    PS any business and JoAnns comes to mind that can't survive without Christmas Sales doesn't deserve to survive. for politicians make that two weeks before elections.

    I agree. The culture of self-sacrifice in America often denies that socialism is in essence altruism made into a political system. In an odd sense, Sanders wants to be explicit about socialism, that is, explicit about economic rights - while ignoring political rights (specifically, property rights) as the root of economic power.

    How can that be? They just elected the most recent socialist twice...although he claimed different plumage.
