Kinda quiet over here, ain't it ? - Page 6

Sanders would be my choice too, but I doubt we will get the chance to vote for him. Let's hope we do.

Doubt never wins. I send him money and will support him in every way I can to ENSURE we get to vote him in.
It takes a positive attitude to make positive things happen.

Its not voting by 'chance'....if he's not on the ballot, write him in.

Blitzen, look at this....you have to Make things happen. Bernie Sanders' campaign is suggesting supporters 'write in ' if need be;

Presidential primaries
In 1928, Herbert Hoover won the Republican Massachusetts presidential primary on write-ins, polling 100,279.
In 1940, Franklin D. Roosevelt won the Democratic New Jersey presidential primary with 34,278 write-ins.
In 1944, Thomas Dewey won the Republican Pennsylvania presidential primary with 146,706 write-ins. He also won the Oregon Republican presidential primary with 50,001 write-ins.
In 1948, Harold Stassen won the Republican Pennsylvania presidential primary with 81,242 write-ins.
In 1952, Robert A. Taft won the Republican Nebraska presidential primary with 79,357 write-ins.
Also in 1952, Estes Kefauver won the Democratic Pennsylvania presidential primary with 93,160 write-ins.
Also in 1952, Dwight Eisenhower won the Republican Massachusetts presidential primary with 254,898 write-ins.
In 1956, Dwight Eisenhower won the Republican Massachusetts presidential primary with 51,951 write-ins.
In 1960, Richard Nixon won the Republican Massachusetts presidential primary with 53,164 write-ins.
Also in 1960, John F. Kennedy won the Democratic Pennsylvania presidential primary with 183,073 write-ins, and he won the Democratic Massachusetts presidential primary with 91,607 write-ins.
In 1964, a write-in campaign organized by supporters of former U.S. Senator and vice presidential nominee Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. won Republican primaries for President in New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, defeating declared candidates Barry Goldwater, Nelson Rockefeller, and Margaret Chase Smith.
In 1968 in the Democratic presidential primary in New Hampshire, incumbent President Lyndon Johnson did not file, but received write-ins totaling 50% of all Democratic votes cast. Senator Eugene McCarthy, who campaigned actively against Johnson’s Vietnam war policies, was on the ballot. He received an impressive 41% of the vote and gained more delegates than the President. Johnson was so stunned that he did not run for reelection.[2]
Consumer advocate Ralph Nader ran a write-in campaign in 1992 during the New Hampshire primary for the presidential nomination of both the Democratic and Republican parties. Declaring himself the "none of the above candidate" and using the Concord Principles as his platform, Nader received 3,054 votes from Democrats and 3,258 votes from Republicans.

I am a part of his camgaign effort in Tampa. We have a very active program here; we're out every day. Yes, I plan to write in his name if he's not nominated.

LMH, the sign of someone who cannot support the logic of their
beliefs with cogent argument is that they instead resort merely to
insulting those who think differently.
Yours Sincerely,
A Pinhead.

Lol @ hundmutter.

Ugh......I was going to counter.....but you two aren't worth a reply.

I rest my case.

LMH, I do think he is a bully and a misogynist.  Anyone who has fun being a bully and makes comments about women regarding their only asset as sex appeal (vs business acumen), or gold diggers, or disgusting for breast feeding an infant, oh gee the list goes on, is not someone I want running the country.  Women make up more that 50% of the US population (not that you would know it because so many have internalized the predominant misogyny) and alienating them is not smart.  Case in point on internalizing is Ann Coulter and her comments about women voting, especially single educated women, as the reason this country is in dire straights.

I'm tired of big business getting all the tax breaks and CEOs now making 400% more than the 40% they did 20 years ago (that is the percentage of income vs lowest paid person at their company) and 2 income households not able to support their families with a living wage.  Used to be 20 years ago and single income household was able to make a living wage and support a family, now too many get panicky at the thought of someone making a living wage.  The fear mongering of a hamburger at McDonalds costing $40 if the employees get a living wage is the fear mongering of the trickle down theorists.  If people had a living wage, were able to pay their bills, save money for emergencies and retirement, they would have more disposable income to spend and put back into the economy and a whole lot less people would be requiring government assistance, makes logical sense.  But then again, when has logic influenced politics????
