So Bernie Sanders did an 8.5 hour filibuster against the tax deal the other day and liberals are hailing him as some sort of hero. Problem here is that Bernie Sanders is a self-identified socialist, and the American people hate socialists. They especially hate them when they talk. And especially if they’re talking for a long time. And especially if they’re talking about raising taxes.
The left's new hero (because he's white).
Anyway, this seems to be yet another episode in the left’s quest to become as weird and unappealing as possible. You might have thought they’d learn something from the last election, but they’re still screeching and throwing fits about things no one else cares about like the rich not getting their taxes raised (Oh no! We won’t get our “the rich had their taxes raised” prize!). And while everyone else is still worried about jobs, they’re cheering on a weird old socialist who doesn’t even have the most basic grasp of economics.
Strange that Obama is now the more moderate one in this situation. I think he’s learned he has a lot more to fear from the right than left’s impotent threats to primary him.
LIBERAL MANUAL
1) If you’re program doesn’t work, spend much more money on it.
2) If everyone hates your failed programs, do more of them.
3) If people think you’re completely stupid, prove them right.
4) If people still aren’t convinced you hate America, send in more socialists.
5) ???
6) success
Crazy Bernie strikes again. I say the dems choose Bernie for the 2012 presidentail slection. Obama may not be nthat interested in running again. A Sanders/Grayson ticket would give us years of In My World posts. C’mon dems, do us a favor.
Sanders represnts the reason why the economy is so screwed up. He was just saying what the dems really beleive.
I wonder whether Bernie has any grandkids. I can actually wonder this because Google can only take away the joy of idle speculation if I allow it. Anyhow, I can imagine that Harry Reid might be a decent, albeit boring grand dad. I bet Joe Biden is a hoot to his grand kids. He seems like a fun guy that way. Then, there is Bernie Sanders. Is there any possible world in which the guy pictured above doesn’t scare the crap out of his grandchildren? I may not aspire to much; however, should I be blessed with grand kids, I know I won’t scare the be-creepers out of them.
So, I got that goin’ for me.
I am not clicking Frank’s links anymore. I pay good money for my breakfast and should keep it instead of seeing huufffpooo.
Gotta love them dims. Gnash, spit, and whine. Makes you feel warm all over when one of them pops a cork.
That one proved once again how incompetent he is. News conference, I will just turn this over to billy bob and go party with Sasquatch.
Socialism is what I get when I drink.
Bernie Sanders is from Vermont. Yeah, believe or not it’s actually a state. Must be full of morons because they keep re-electing this socialist moron. Liberals are also morons, so it’s no surprise they think this socialist moron is some kinf of hero. A liberal moron is a socialist moron without the testicular mass to admit they are a socialist moron.
“Strange that Obama is now the more moderate one in this situation. I think he’s learned he has a lot more to fear from the right than left’s impotent threats to primary him.”
The liberal moron media will try to portray Obama as some kind of a moderate moron for the purpose of re-election in 2012. Yeah, anybody who’s actually paid attention know it’s BS. Get used to it, and expect The New Centrist Obama Moron, coming soon to a liberal moron media outlet near you.
His nose is so ugly his mouth is mad.
You gotta admit Socialism pays. ‘Ol Bernie is getting his $175,000.00 or so per year plus bennies just like the rest of ‘um. And I’ll bet he doesn’t live in a hut over on the poor side of town either.
That poor excuse for a face looks like his prune juice is about three seconds away from kicking in.
It appears that socialists dont believe in combs or brushes. I saw a bit of the “performance”, CSPAN listed this mutt as a “independent”. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t there a bona fide Socialist political party? And if there is, and this guy openly admits to being a socialist why is he being labeled independent? Or is this similar to what we saw the last election cycle where the “democrats” refused to identify their party affiliation during their advertisements?
That cuts it! By ussjimmycarter fiat, Vermont is hereby kicked out of the United States and shall now be considered a part of the Peoples Republic of Mexico! Hearing no objections motion is passed! Since this is a Fiat, no POTUS signature is required!
@USSJC: Vermont votes to secede every year or so. The next time we do it, we should let them.
It really is unfortunate that East Germany no longer exists. I would love to send Bernie there on a $300 a month salary and put him up in an unheated 1 bedroom apartment near Alexader Platz in the heart of the Socialist Worker’s Utopia. It’s a shame that he’s that old and knows nothing about socialism.
P.S. Try to cross the wall and we shoot you…
