Bernie Sanders Takes Down Every Single GOP Presidential Candidate
http://redsfan.newsvine.com/_news/2012/01/21/10208363-bernie-sanders-takes-down-every-single-gop-presidential-candidate
In a masterful take down, Sen. Bernie Sanders took apart the 2012 GOP presidential field and called them the fringe of American society.
On HBO’s Real Time, host Bill Maher asked about a question about the Republican primary and Sen. Sanders went off,
"One of the problems that I see in the Republican primaries is that these guys are so out of touch with the reality that the American people are going through that it is really quite amazing. We are seeing a middle class collapsing. We are seeing poverty increasing. We’re seeing a nation in which the rich are getting richer and we have the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major country.
Do they have one word to say about this issue?
We have 50 million people without any health insurance. We are the only country, major country on earth that does not guarantee healthcare to every man, woman, and child as a right. Do you know what their solution is? Cut Medicare cut Medicaid. You got Social Security, the most successful government program in the history of our country. A program which has not resulted in one penny of deficit for this country, and you know what they want to do? They want to cut Medicaid. They want to cut Social Security. They want to privatize these important programs.
These guys are way, way out of touch from where the American people are, and I think when you look at them issue by issue, tax breaks for the rich, cut Social Security, more money on defense spending, they are literally a fringe element in American society.
Last but not least, you’ve got virtually every scientist in this world who studies the issue who tells us global warming is a huge, huge problem. We’ve got to move in a very aggressive way to break our dependence on fossil fuel, move to sustainable energy, energy efficiency. These guys don’t even acknowledge the reality of global warming."
Bernie Sanders delivered Barack Obama’s reelection campaign stump speech for him. Sen. Sanders was correct. These Republican candidates aren’t just conservative. They are the far right fringe. As Mitt Romney has discovered, a moderate can’t win the 2012 Republican nomination. It doesn’t matter if the Republican establishment understands that they have to move to the middle. Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Ron Paul represent the fringe.

I've clearly said that I thought what he said was true. But he offers no solution, therefore like every other talking head in DC is part of the problem.

Sorry u dont like sanders, so just remove the names of the ones you cannot stand and replace it with mine. Does that help? The body of the message is right on and if you dont think so? Well, I guess we now know the difference between how conservatives see things and the rest of us.
My problem with the guy is, he offered no solutions to the problems. We all sit here every day and say what's jacked up in politics. We (somebody) elected this **** to solve some problems.... apparently he forgot that.
With all of these people who seem to have the answers, Beck, Maher, Limbaugh, Olberman, Mathews, why don't they step up and get things handled? Surely if the loved their government that much and knew they had the right answers, why are they hiding behind the mic? Every single one of those people is concerned with making money.
Sanders...? pfft.

Sure. But on the other hand just cause it's said during riba rage does that make it not true?
LOL
LOL
LOL. Unless One has been through "The Dark Side" it would be impossable to understand.
You got it!
RIBA ???
You guys are sounding as petty as congress.
Who cares who's mouth truth comes out of?
Guess what?
I don't care for Maher or Rush ~ but so what?
You won't even discuss something if the wrong person said it?
Sounds like Congress.
Grow up.

“His points are valid!”
So are a lot of Jimmy Swaggart’s but I choose to not listen to him either.

okay let me re work it. Koch fight.
Far as I can tell Maher asked the question right? And the rest of the article is what Bernie said as a result? And I think every bit of it is valid. But I do agree with brice in that, when is someone going to come up with a solution or two?
Politics is the new soap opera it seems. All the drama! Like a **** fight.

Yeah, Maher... political satirist/comedian and somehow he became an authority of his opinion and found an avenue in which he could vomit it and get paid. Bless his little heart for getting paid for that stuff. And that was a pretty good point/comparison between Maher and Limbaugh/Beck.
The left won't see it, but you nailed it.

Of course he has no answers. Sanders is a self proclaimed Socialist. This propaganda is an example of how they operate. He also criticizes Obama for his Bi-Partnership efforts to work with Republicans.
I think I made my opinion of Bill Maher clear so, no since in beating a dead horse.

Okay... he's right. But as per usual, he's got no answers. He'll run his mouth like every other politician and criticize everything that the right is doing but will offer nothing in regards to a solution.
What's that old saying, "if you're not part of the answer you're part of the problem."?

“Hey, you don't have to like the messenger to agree with the message.” I’m not so sure I agree with that statement. Limbaugh and Beck are correct on some of the things they say but like Maher, there is to much rhetoric to weed out.
I think there comes a time when I have to reject the message because of the messenger.

And yes, he's right ~they are so far out of touch.
The super pacs are obscene.
Empty houses owned by banks while people are homeless on the streets and these idiots haven't a clue. If they had any moral fiber they would donate that money to helping create jobs, feed people, set up health clinics, etc.
Don't even get me started between Gingrich's stupid remark about food stamps, does he prefer to let people starve? or Mitty Marble Mouth, who made money off hedge funds~and firing people~ what a bunch of weasels.
Not that I think anyone in DC hasn't been corrupted.
Until we take big money out of politics, we are going to see this same moronic display. And none of them make the real decisions anyway.
That's done by their corporate sponsers and lobbyists.
Gobble, growl, grunt~my riba rant for the morning:)

Sen. Bernie Sanders/ Bill Maher, I made it as far as the 3rd sentence and realized, why bother?
I don’t think anyone that takes Maher serious, has any room to put down the people that take Limbaugh or Beck serious. This guy is so far out there that Comedy Central cancelled him and kept South Park. And Sanders? Come on, really?

I will agree with what was said in regards to the far right not having a clue, but this is like a bad scratch in an old 33 record... the same thing, over and over and over. The far left will sit and belly ache all day and offer no solutions, and Sen. Sanders is real good at it. Sit and ***** Senator, you'll still get your check. It's all you have to do. Most of America thinks you're working if your complaining. And for the sake of Pete... global warming? Okay, lets say its real... instead of saying the right doesn't believe in the "SCIENCE", tell me what the viable alternatives and how we're going to switch over.
Bill Maher is only interested in moving the far left forward. He is a political satirist and is trying to play "news guy again". Maher is so far left that if Obama ran on the republican ticket he wouldn't vote for him.
