No, he sells out to union interests. They give him money, he uses that union money to get elected, and then is beholden to the unions, so he rewards unions with pork.

Now, if you take out the word "unions" and substitute "corporations", what's the difference, exactly?

If not selling out to corporate interests is so vital to you, you should be equally impresed with Dr Carson. He made his own way, he hasn't sold out, right?

Carson has said some strange things that make me wince in the way I did with Sarah Palin, though he is obviously far more intelligent and serious. Has carson ever said anything as crazy, as suggetsing that women fantasize about being gang-raped? Because that's what Bernie said.

How about we stop digging through the entire life history of every candidate, looking for some embarassing quote on a non-issue, in the hope that we find something to club them with?

Sort of how we never discuss where Pres. Obama went to church in Chicago?

Here is why it is different.......

Not the same. We have all said embarassing things that should not be used to try to define us. Rev Wright wasn't a one-night stand for Obama, it wasn't a one-time slip of the tongue. That was a close relationship that lasted for decades (lasted until, in fcat, it was politically expedient for Obama to dump him). Obama called him his "spiritual mentor". And Wright is a bat-sh*t crazy, white-hating, anti-Semite.

I view Obama's regular attendance at that church, no different than I view a white candidate who went to peaceful KKK meetings every Sunday for 20 years. Same thing. No one, and I mean no one, can sit in that church for 20 years, actually believe th ebile being spewed, and not hate white people.
