Give the man a JD bass and I might go too.

But he HAS to do the Coked Up Monkey bass solo

You don't wait for it to trickle down you climb up to it. The government's job is to make sure the ladder is still there.

Labor Finally Figures Out That Sanders is Their Candidate and That He Can Win

— July 1, 2015

America’s most powerful labor union leader announced that he is joining Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) presidential campaign, reported the Huffington Post.

After trying to work with Hillary Clinton to speak out against the trade deal fast-track authority, Larry Cohen, president of the Communications Workers of America (CWA), decided Sanders was the best choice. Cohen shouldn’t have tried to tap Clinton in the first place. She’s an Establishment candidate who stands for everything that progressive labor unions are against.

“I did everything I knew how to do to get Clinton to speak out on fast track, and she wouldn’t,” said Cohen. “We begged her to speak out. There was a million ways she could have done it . . . Why was she silent on this?”

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) became a rallying point for labor unions, environmental groups, and progressive Democrats as they opposed President Obama’s trade agenda. Progressives said that TPP will cut American jobs and give unprecedented powers to international corporations.

Clinton once said TPP is the “gold standard” for trade deals, but has avoided taking a clear stance recently. Clinton’s shifty silence on TPP and fast-track authority helped Cohen decide to go with Sanders, a smart choice. He noted that Clinton is another brand-name candidate that is too far entrenched within the Establishment to facilitate any real national change.

“Without a candidate like Bernie, we’re going to get a repeat of the same stuff,” said Cohen. “Bernie is movement-building, and we need a new movement. We need to get big money out of politics.”

Cohen’s place in Bernie’s campaign will further power an already surging presidential campaign. Considering Cohen’s ideology, it’s odd that he reached out to Clinton in the first place. Luckily, he realized that Sanders is the right choice.

Nice propaganda pieces on Bernie, Ford. Almost as good as anything brought forth by Koch.

Yet, as the end of the day, Bernie will be nothing more than a sad, sad loser.

Jesse Ventura endorses Bernie Sanders, 'I'll help him anyway I can'

With over 20 candidates currently running for president, mostly Republicans, the variety of choices is larger than in previous years. Despite this, one name is seeing his momentum grow in a positive way. Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders is running for the Democratic nomination for president, and another Independent former governor is throwing support his way.

When Jesse Ventura announced in 1998 that he was going to run as an Independent and challenge both the Republican and Democratic nominees for governor of Minnesota, most people shook their heads and laughed at the former pro wrestler, actor and Navy SEAL. By the end of election night, only Ventura was laughing as he came out the winner and was governor elect of the state of Minnesota. Now with the presidential election just over a year away, Ventura has sized up the candidates and is throwing his support to Sanders. Ventura went into further detail in a July 13 blog post on Ora.TV.

"Bernie believes in power to the people and the people controlling the government," Ventura wrote, saying "I think what Bernie Sanders is doing is extremely healthy." Ventura has said in the past that he refuses to back a Republican or Democrat, claiming they are too similar and bought off my special interests. Though Sanders is hoping to win the Democratic nomination, he's still an Independent.

"I’m sick and tired of the handpicked two candidates. It makes us look like we shouldn’t have even fought the Revolutionary War, because we still believe in kings and queens here."

"Hats off to Bernie Sanders," Ventura said, before noting "I’ll help him anyway I can." Ventura was once known as a conservative libertarian, but over the years has become more liberal and progressive in his political views. Knowing he has an uphill battle in front him, Ventura was optimistic about Sanders' chances, but concluded that if he fails, "maybe next year Jesse Ventura will pick up the gauntlet."

I appreciate his candor. He is even sensible on a couple of issues which is rare for a stereotypical 1960s commie/pinko .
If he helps to destroy that cunt Hillary, then great. After that , fuck em.
The most important issue of the 2016 presidential campaign is that Clinton does not get elected.

My question is why isn't Thunder Thighs Clinton in jail? We have someone who has committed numerous crimes and there is the evidence and she is running for president? The system is broke. It's a joke.

Jeb will be just as bad as Hillary. Got to keep Jeber Jaber out of office as well.

[Nitro Express]

All Sanders will have to do to beat Hillary is throw some water on the witch. She will melt.
