Bernie Sanders (I) often sounds like he’s running as much against me as he is the other candidates. I have never met the senator, but I know from listening to him that we disagree on plenty when it comes to public policy. Even so, I see benefits in searching for common ground and greater civility during this overly negative campaign season. That’s why, in spite of the fact that he often misrepresents where I stand on issues, the senator should know that we do agree on at least one — an issue that resonates with people who feel that hard work and making a contribution will no longer enable them to succeed.

Nanker Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 A good article 3rd. It exposes the evil avaricious Koch brother for the greedy little small-minded self-centered man that he truly is. [/s] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Large Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 What we've done for a generation has brought us a 70k tax code, 150k in publicly held debt for every man, woman and child in the country, 121Trillion in future liabilities in programs, 15 years of wars with no end in sight and not much to show, a healthcare system that spend 3x our global friends and delivers worse results, and a country cultural were fiscal and social aptitude is a festering sewage pool.... I probably don't love his social views, but his stance on scope and power of central government is right on. I admire Bernie Sanders, he believes what he is putting out there, I think he is trying to do it right, but his policies represent a sustainable utopia that just doesn't work for the nature of human beings. Liberals hate guys like Koch. But they don't mind when when he donates a few hundred million to a hospital that serves the indigent, Medicaid and others whom are underserved. Or funds our museums, zoos, performing arts centers or other wonderful places that make our cities great places to leave. Time to open our ears and "listen"... It's a lost skill, there is a lot to learn and consider out there when we make a choice to shut up and open the ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 I posted this awhile back. Even more telling is the Koch Foundation charitable distributions are funded by the Kochs. The Clinton Foundation charitable distributions are funded by other people or foreign governments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Fox did an interview with Mr. Koch a few months back. A lengthy interview. You could not watch it and not admire this man a great deal by the end. Seeing people like Charles Koch and many others like him is further evidence the the best and brightest don't run our Federal Government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Well, if you believe that climate change is a real threat, then it is pretty logical to see these brothers as the enemy of the human race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you couldn't refute anything in the OP so you come up with climate change nonsense to try to derail this thread?

keepthefaith Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) So, you couldn't refute anything in the OP so you come up with climate change nonsense to try to derail this thread? You're such a little kitty I think when I bother to call you anything in the future it will be gatorette. Climate change, income inequality, racism, the war on woman, the evil rich Wall Streeters and corporations. These are the large issues that plague our society. Get with the program.

IDBillzFan Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Do you believe ISIS to be a real threat? Yes, but only because ISIS was created by global warming. If you correct global warming, ISIS will stop blowing people up because they'll finally have crops to harvest. Or something like that. I'm sure gatorman will be able to elaborate.

I was just going to point out that if you believe ISIS is a threat to Americans, wouldn't it be logical to consider the guy who calls them "JV" an enemy of Americans? Logical in the vein of gator-logic. Which we all know is a step below dolphin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
