Yes, if "Voodoo" is the power to throw off the shackles of corporate America, freeing our politics from moneyed concerns and issuing in a new Golden Age of the working class!

...this derail is breaking down.

Wow, he doesn't even know what he's doing.

I mean Obama wanted to push reforms through but his hands were tied by Congress or whichever. Why does Monty Berns think it's going to be any different for him?

I maintain that Sanders is most beneficial as a push towards the left for Democrats. I don't feel that he'd be that effective of a president, but I want him to have a very strong showing in the primaries to pull this country away from the rightward drift we've had for a while now.

It's not like he'd be destroying the banks - the whole point of breaking them up it's to break them into a bunch of smaller banks to increase consumer choice and competition and decrease the effect (on the market, savings, and on jobs, etc) of one doing something stupid and going down the tubes.

He hasn't even said that he would ban stock markets, so he isn't as far left on this issue as me. :P

Breaking big companies into smaller companies isn't really comparable to an industry being destroyed (besides, it's market forces that's killing the coal industry, I.e. That thing that Republicans consider a God).

So him not pretending to have a plan is a thing.

I hope it means something about how he will figure it out based on expert advice, but am too much of a cynic to believe that's necessarily the case.

It was a pretty poor showing on Sanders' part, I guess. I thought the same thing when I popped in though, heh.

Robert Morrow for president.
http://www.twcnews.com/tx/austin/politics/2016/03/10/rob-morrow-reacts-after-travis-county-gop-disavows-chairman-elect.html
I was going to link his Twitter feed but it's actually become very NSFW within the last few hours.  Suffice to say that if you tweet him an anime babe he will rate her.

e: for the record he has turned against Trump and is now in favor of Cruz.

Morrow also says he's pro-gun, but doesn't have a license to carry.

He believes needing a license to carry a gun is unconstitutional.

Why don't you just hold a big sign that says "Come raid me, ATF!"

Because you don't need a license to carry. To conceal in public sure, but in his house they've got nothing to go on.

Then why am I always reading about people being arrested for having unregistered firearms? (Are they not the same thing?)
