Displaying 61 To 90 Of 5,801 Comments DNC Convention Thread – Sanity Strikes Back! It is hard to give up on a political ideal that you believe is the best in your lifetime and settle on “the lesser of two evils”. I’m coming around, but it bothers me that people who don’t agree that Bernie is by far a better choice than any we have today. I believe that many of the “Bernie or bust” folks will hold their nose and vote for Hillary like I will. The last thing I want to see is trump in the position to appoint Justices to the SC. This is one of the most important reasons to vote for Hillary over trump! Actually trump is wrong on every issue except, maybe the TPP. He may even just be giving “lip service” to us against it. I just don’t trust trump on any issue. I hope that Hillary will try to get us out of these endless wars. I supported Bernie because he is against endless war and huge defense budgets. I am not sure Hillary will do anything to cut the fat out of the defense budget. Time will tell. Bernie has gotten a bunch of his issues in the platform and I am proud of him for that and also for the way he conducted his campaign. Bernie never took advantage of her weaknesses or her email scandals. By running a fair and clean campaign, Bernie has shown us how politics should be done. I will back Hillary for POTUS. It will be good to see the first woman President and have her a Democrat to boot. Peace » Posted By Nirek On July 28, 2016 @ 5:46 am This is not easy for me. Out of my deepest respect for Bernie, I’m going to do what he asked and support Hillary. I am reluctant, but I trust Bernie and I don’t trust trump! Bernie did get some of his ideas into the platform and that makes me proud. It is the most progressive platform ever. For now, I will leave it at that. Peace » Posted By Nirek On July 26, 2016 @ 3:12 am Donald Trump’s Acceptance Speech at the RNC Tonight – The Sh*t Hits The Fans Brodie, I feel the same! Trump is wrong for America and the world. His hate and other “Christian values” are just the opposite of what America is about. » Posted By Nirek On July 23, 2016 @ 4:24 am Weekend Music Thread – Time Waits For No One

There is zero need for anyone to have this kind of weapon for civilian use. It is not good for hunting because you would ruin the meat with so many bullets tumbling through it. Target practice has no use with these weapons because they tend to spray bullets because you can’t hold it steady. I agree with you on this issue100%. Just had to give my perspective. » Posted By Nirek On June 19, 2016 @ 3:11 am A Moment of Silence Says It All About GOP Policies Ad, I believe that they use the moment of silence and changing the subject to Obama not saying certain words to distract from the issue of automatic weapons being sold to anyone, even people on the terrorist list. Like you say they are owned by the NRA. Excellent article, as always. » Posted By Nirek On June 16, 2016 @ 3:32 am If Superdelegates Weren’t a Fraud, Could they Help the Dems Win the White House? Ad, my right arm is in a special sling after surgery on May 4th. The rotator cuff has 4 muscles and I tore two of them in a fall on ice back in Feb. Still have to be in the sling 3 more weeks. » Posted By Nirek On May 28, 2016 @ 3:37 am Hi PPO, Ifeel that Bernie is more of a democrat than any of the others. Bernie has views that are democratic and he has always worked with the democrats. When he decided to run as a dem he brought a big bunch of us independents along with him. It bothers me when people are strictly for the party, not for what is best for America. I guess we will have to agree to disagree since I don’t think the party should be first. When I served in the US Army I took an oath to support the USA, NOT a political party. Peace my friend. » Posted By Nirek On May 27, 2016 @ 2:33 pm AdLib, this article is excellent! To exclude independent voters from the Democratic elections is “cutting off the nose dispite the face”! As for the “superdelegates” , they should go with the majority of the voters in their states. It’s hard to type left handed, so I’ll stop here. Suffice to say I agree we should not even have “superdelegates”. » Posted By Nirek On May 27, 2016 @ 6:38 am Weekend Music Thread – The Real Me Here is one from the past, and it works well to describe Trump and others. » Posted By Nirek On May 1, 2016 @ 12:38 pm Weekend Music Thread – Nature’s Way

There is too much in her past that is questionable. Too many flips and flops on the issues. I’ll mention only one which bothers me. Her standing there and taking credit for the $15 minimum wage in NY. She stood on the debate stage when Bernie called for $15 and argued that $12 was better. The thing that just pissed me off the most and has me convinced that I can’t ever vote for her is the lie she told about Vermont running guns to NY! There is no way Vermont is doing anything like that! I wish you peace as always, Kes. Excellent post, too. » Posted By Nirek On April 19, 2016 @ 4:14 am The Last Play I Will Write — The End Of A Habitable Planet? Dan, I have followed the Occupy movement and find it to be a worthwhile endevor. To me the environment is the most important issue we face today. Too many politicians from both parties are making decisions that hurt the environment. Nearly all the republicans and some of the democrats vote against anything that is designed to help the environment. Thanks for writing this and good luck. I’m in Vermont and can’t get to your play. » Posted By Nirek On April 5, 2016 @ 2:58 am The Cause of ISIS’ Global Terrorism Isn’t Islam…It’s Oil AdLib, your article is spot on! Bernie, on the other hand, was right on when calling for the Isrealies to stop their settlements and give Palistine its own land. Calling for peace rather than war puts Bernie in the moral minority. He is still my pick for POTUS and to move us forward with so many issues that PBO started and so many of his own. » Posted By Nirek On March 24, 2016 @ 3:51 am Weekend Music Thread – Ain’t That America She is so serious that she forgets to smile. But she has a beautiful smile. Meredith makes me so proud, Monica. I know pride is one of the seven deadly sins, but I can’t help myself. Maybe it’s okay to be proud of someone besides yourself.

» Posted By Nirek On March 12, 2016 @ 2:25 pm Election Night Thread – 3-8-2016 I don’t care how the republicans come out. I do care about Bernie. I would like to see Bernie win outright in Michigan and stay close down South. Who knows what is going to happen? I sure don’t. Bernie had some BIG crowds in Michigan, so if the turnout is big that will be good for him. I watched the debate today that I recorded and he did well. It won’t be over tonight anyway. » Posted By Nirek On March 8, 2016 @ 3:44 pm Weekend Music Thread – All Those Years Ago One more from back in the day. » Posted By Nirek On March 6, 2016 @ 3:23 pmComments Posted By Nirek
Peace
It seems to me that the parties both are silly not to be inclusive of indepentents. They put party before country. In this election cycle, Bernie is the best candidate I have ever known. His integrity, honesty, morality, and consistancy are unparrelled. Bernie’s visionfor America is nothing less than wonderful and is in keeping with the Constitution of the United States of America.
Great pick.
Bernie has tried to do the same. Unfortunatly Bernie has been mistreated by HRC, the DNC, and DWS.
Bernie, on the other hand, has been too nice to her.
Trump and Cruz are aiding the ISIS cause even if that is not what they intend. Hillary is also to a lesser degree. She recently took a turn to the right by saying that she would have Netanyahoo at the White House when she is POTUS. That to me, slammed PBO up side the head.

Also there is still half the country to vote yet. Bernie is going to do better with the rest of the country.
Wouldn’t it be great if Bernie did win MO?
Bernie has lost the South which is where dems always loose, so what? Bernie is winning in the best states that dems usually win in the general.
