I'm thinking a Sanders/Weiner campaign for president and vice-president. Anyone with me?

I've become numb to Obama's speeches. He always says the right things then does the opposite or worst nothing. I take what Obambi says with a gain of salt. He will betray liberals any chance he gets.

Senator sanders is nothing more than a damn socialist. He doesn't understand the 70 year mistake, but pushes his socialist agenda, wherever & whenever he can. He demonstrated this agenda back in the 1970s and hasn't changed.

Also, this poor man doesn't understand basic economics, which has been proven from 2006 to 2011, where the US Deficit grew from 200 Billion in the year 2007 and in 2010 was 1.5 Trillion.

 Just sleep it off ala Joe Biden.

Obama better hold the line and push back otherwise we really don't have a two party system at all. Profits for the top 10% and corperations are at a eight year high as thier taxes have have never been so low. If the GOP wants to start making cuts than I suggest they look into the defense budget, the bush tax cuts and oil subs not heating and security programs for the poor.

if the president wants to talk about compassion, why doesn't he start first by talking about repealing affirmative action laws that practice reverse discrimination towards qualified white people who are denied employment because of government mandated racial and gender quotas?

[dreamcoyote]

IMHO a progressive wouldn't:

*cut medicare funding because it's high cost and decrease taxes on the rich due to some lazy interpretation of the Laffer curve.

*fund medicare by simply raising the debt limit and optionally increasing taxes

descibes liberal/conservative direction in the past?

maybe just me but those who on the progressive side would cut medicare funding/expenses by allowing medicare to buy drugs in bulk and make other such arrangements. maintains services AND cuts spending.

@Acrilawl you should give up, you lost this "debate" a long time ago.

my professors arent pot smokers, they are mathematicians and computer scientists.

You arent in college because you think every professor is a communist.

Im not a democrat.

You are stupid, and act like a little kid. You covered your ears and eyes the entire time thinking your illogical red herrings would convince me of your bs. But unfortunately for you, I have a firm grasp of logic. Something you do not have.
