I'm starting to think there is a good reason Obama has such big ears. It gives the Repubs something to hang onto for leverage whenever Obama gets on his knees to assume his "negotiating position."

And instead of worrying about what if they don't like it we just go ahead and do what is right and fight them? The American people aren't afraid of new ideas or of socialism that works for them as demonstrated by all the socialist policies and programs mentioned above. There is nothing wrong with socialism. All of our european allies live in socialist states of one kind or another and it doesn't frighten or anger Americans. Avoiding fights is what got Democrats into this mess to begin with. From my point of view, if it's true and it's right and if it's good for America and you are being honest with people it is a fight worth having.

The use of "socialism" as a pejorative term in today's politics is really quite silly, which is obvious to anyone who has an understanding of the term. But just for the sake of argument here, might it not be used by a potential candidate or political movement as a point of reference? It would establish an alternative to the present corruption and the madness that the oligarchs inspire in our present politics. I know. An Alternative to our one party system? What a concept!

Say what you will about Bernie Sanders' "socialism." But the sense I have is that the fancy suits and gucci loafers from K Street don't darken his door very often, checkbook in hand. And unlike Dodd and the rest, I don't anticipate him "retiring" into a cushy job as a shill for the corporate interests who now own Washington. That should count for something, no?

No, I don't doubt that the debate was had--albeit in Burlington, Vermont, not exactly a typical American community. What I am raising doubts about is whether a hypothetical primary candidacy that may have a great deal of trouble getting its message out because of the Socialist label/baggage of the candidate is likely to be an effective way to advance the substantive agenda Bernie Sanders ably advocates in the US Senate.
