Bernie Sanders Town Hall

[Cow Poke]

When Jesus said to care for the needy and oppressed, what he really meant was vote for a Democrat. All you Christians who help the poor out of your own pocket are just hypocrites.

I shall commence hanging my head in shame, as I fumble through actually using my own time and resources in helping the poor, and while Jimmy sits in his mother's basement* judging me.



*if, in fact, that's where he's living.

You might want to read Bill's post again - that's what he said.

Trump and his band of crooks, though certainly rich, are not socialists CP. So what are you talking about?

It's not just those in political office, Jimmypoo -- there are plenty of liberals with plenty of money who could be stepping up to the plate.

It goes to the liberal golden rule - "whoever has the gold makes the rules".

No, it means you support politicians and policies that care for the needy and the oppressed. No need to be stupid about it.

And Pelosi and her band of FRESH FACES^TM are also the ruling class.

Yes, that's exactly what Jesus said!

He shouldn't have had to expressly say it for you to understand it, but I understand that you understand only that which you want to understand.

[Bill the Cat]

no, it means you support politicians and policies that steal from the working class. No need to be stupid about it.

So, you have a "TalkiingPointsMemoForIdiots" source for religion, too?

Yes there are some wealthy politicians who represent the best interests of their constituency, like Pelosi and Sanders, and there are some, like Trump, and his band of crooks, who are just there to represent themselves and others like themselves. "I just made you all a whole lot richer." Trump to his rich buddies at Mara Largo after passing his tax cut for the rich.

You are a hack!!! Sanders is an asshat that wants to tax millionaires, yet he is unwilling to lead by example. Socialism for thee, capitalism for me. AKA... HYPOCRITE.

Whiny baby don't like when others succeed...

*....... I guess I'm not the only sarcastically impaired one on this forum.

[Sparko]

Yes, I was ignorant of that fact, but it's irrelevant. Sanders wants to tax the rich, not just himself, but including himself, for the good of the country at large. If as a country we as a people adopt that policy, the rich will still be extremely wealthy and we will all live in a better country. You christians here are hypocrites who don't really care about the poor, the sick, the mentally ill or in other words your country, so long as you've got yours.

Yet he doesn't set a good example to get others to do that. A true leader sets the example. Besides he regularly condemns other rich people for not paying their fair share and stiffing the poor people when they could help. Yet he won't even donate the extra money he is saving to charity to help the poor.

[Sparko]

So what you're saying is that Sanders wants to accumulate money and the distribute a larger portion of it to those in need. How does that make him richer as part of the ruling class, you dolt!

Sanders does accumulate money, but he doesn't distribute his money to those in need. He keeps it for himself. His tax returns prove that.

Yeah, but that's only because the law doesn't require it, and he wants to change the law so that he's forced to give more of his own money!

Or... something...
