Why Democrats Must Vote for Bernie Sanders for President

I highly question Stephanie’s assertion that there is a 93% coralation between Hillary’s and Bernie Sanders’ senate votes.  You have the vote on the Iraq War, you have the bankruptsey law and you have overturning Glass Steigel.  Clearly first lady Hillary was for that one because she was such a loyal adjunct to her husband, and you could say the same thing on NAFTA and CAFTA and SHAFTA and all those other economic deals.  Bu the way I’ve heard that as far as SHAFTA goes- -there is one week left on discussion of this TPP bill and then they are going to sneak it through congress during the NFL championship or something.  You also have Hillary calling for a No Fly Zone in Iraq and Syria which Sanders opposes.  They said Ronald Reagan put over a hundred people in jail over the Savings and Loan scandals in the ‘eighties, because Reagan ordered FBI investigation.  Contrast this with Obama.  I’m certain that if you asked the Sanders campaign they could produce a lot more votes where they were opposed. 

Movie producer Michael Moore wrote Governor Snyder of Michigan a letter saying he deserves to go to jail because children all over Flint, Michigan now have irreversible lead poisoning because of some chemical that was put in the water that strips the lead out of water and corrodes the pipes, along with a hundred years of industrial pollution along the Flint River.  Now even a jihadi terrorist could poison so many people on such a massive scale.  Clearly Governor Snyder should be impeached and the sooner the better. 

Thom Hartman just said that it’s perfectly legal for Netanyahoo to bribe those 47 Republi9can senators who wrote an open letter to the leaders of Iran saying not to sign the Iranian Nuclear treaty because the next president would just negate the whole thing.  Apparently there is a provision of Citizens United which says even if you could prove Netanyahoo indeed bribed these forty-seven Republican senators, it’s now perfectly legal to do so.

Now the Trans-Canada corporation is suing the United States government under NAFTA laws for loss of potential profits because the Canadian XL pipeline was never built.  This isn’t like a case where a star athlete is injured in an auto accident and sues for loss of earning potential because of his injuries.  Here is a case where the legality of these potential profits was never an established fact to begin with.  The corporation has “suffered” nothing.  If people could sue for any case where they didn’t get a job, for instance, then the courts would be clogged all day long with people suing their future bosses because they weren’t hired.  This is completely absurd!  But you must remember that if the Trans Pacific Partnership goes through and gets passed as people are now saying it will, then Hillary Clinton is to blame because as Secretary of State she advocated tirelessly for the TPP.  These are campaign issues that can’t possibly be ignored.

This is January 7, 2016 and yesterday was Orthodox Church Christmas, who believe the three Wise Men showed up the night of Jesus’ birth.  And tomorrow is Elvis’ birthday and he would be 81, or the same age as Paul Evans is now.  And it’s funny that Paul Evans is in better physical shape now than Elvis was when he died.  All that “Is Elvis Alive” stuff from the summer of 1988 and the book and tape and all- - was nearly 28 years ago.  At that time Elvis would have been 53, which I thought “Even if Elvis is alive he’d be so far over the hill he’d never make it as an entertainer today”.   What’s strange is that it’s possible that I could have a son now who’d be older than Elvis was when he died.  Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are both older than Elvis was when he died.  Now Ted Cruz has the birther issue springing up again because he was born in Canada.  Last summer when Ted was nowhere in the polls, Donald Trump said that “The attorneys have checked it out and there is no problem with Ted Cruz”.  Now Trump is saying that “The democrats could take the whole issue to court and there would be a legal cloud hanging over Ted Cruz’s head during the campaign”.   Most of the El Whacko generation- - were of a young, impressionable age when Ronald Reagan was president, or else there were told to idolize him by their elders.  Actually they’d be about the same age as the college age kids who were on the Wally George show around 1984.  They never even heard of Nixon and back then Jimmy Carter was the name everybody learned to hate before President Obama supplanted him for that role.  Basically the “danger age” for these Oregon whacko wanna-bees is from about age forty to age fifty-five.  Once they approach retirement age and start to think about it rationally it dawns on them they won’t live forever and will someday need Medicare and social security.
