I don't know what to think about Bernie. He is very far to the left to the point where he is an avowed socialist. I wonder if the teabaggers will call him a Marxist and draw Hitler moustaches on him? Probably not, I think they problem they have with Obama is his melanin content and the fact that he's "exotic".
He does seem like a man of integrity who speaks from both the mind and the heart. Between him, the house, and the senate, I don't think he would be able to implement a radical far left agenda. I would certainly vote for him over any Republican prospect I've seen thus far. He is a little too emotional and idealistic for me though. I'm not that passionate about trying to save every disadvantaged soul from whatever deep shi! they happen to be in. It can't be done, and I'm kind of put off by the whole guilt trip he tries to lay on everyone. It just doesn't register with me and never will. He seems like he appeals most to people who don't have a dime in their savings account.
