With His Holiness The Dalai Lama, at His home in Dharamsala, India (Synthesis Dialogues - made into a movie narrated by Harrison Ford)
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
It's nice to have a politician like Bernie that one wants to vote for instead of the lesser of two evil Feel the Bern
Move to the center? The D Party has moved to the center and then to the right of it at least since Reagan. Then the "new" Democrat, Bill Clinton comes along and was nice enough to repeal Glass Steagall for Wall Street and signed NAFTA which enriched corporations and the banks at the expense of working people. THIS IS THE PROBLEM with the D Party....it has been dominated by the corporate Democrats for too long. The D Party now is nothing more than a corporate owned organization....just look at how they circle the wagons around Hillary Clinton..its been disgusting to watch and then they wonder why Dems don't show up on Election Day...they abandoned the FDR Progressive new deal for the money and power of corporations and banks. GO BERNIE !!!!!
Hillary is 100% REPUBLICAN! The reason why she CHANGED her Party is because she could NEVER MOVE UP within the Republican Party as she has within the Democratic Party!
Hillary is a STRAIGHT UP REPUBLICAN, and she and Bill have PROVEN that with their NAFTA BILL, and Killing the Glass Steagal Act!
SCREW THE CLINTON'S SEND THEM TO WHERE THEY BELONG, WITH THEIR REPUBLICAN PARTY!

From listening to the debate, I honestly feel Senator Sanders is not only a progressive but a true gentleman. This is what the country needs. Ms. Clinton, well, I was taught if you can't say something nice, don't say anything. So, I'll leave it at that.
Move to center, you say? Whatever for??? Why would I want to be a Republican? I was one, then I started precinct work and found I could not peddle a Republican in working and poor class neighborhoods. That switched me to being a Demo and I've been happy ever since. Also, I'm a conservationist first which cannot be supported in our present T-party republicans who view wildlife something to shoot....Palin in point. And Sarah wants to be Interior Sec in The Donald's cabinet??? heaven forbid, hope that doesn't come to pass. NO NO NO....when Demos become centrists then it's time for me to become an Independent.
A for Bernie, I view him as being more akin to Gve 'em Hell, Truman. I don't know of another president who subpoenaed Congress to return to Congress to pass a budget plus a few other things during an election year. I lived through FDR;s and Truman's presidencies. Truman was the firebrand. That's who Bernie brings to mind. I don't think FDR would have had the guts to fire Gen MacArthur....the best thing Truman ever did besides issuing subpoenas to Congress.
