Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Reason to Take the Socialist Seriously

For those people who think going against Sanders is a walk in the park or think the country would never vote for Socialism... Latest polls on head to head match ups. Everyone beats Clinton except Trump. Everyone loses to Sanders.

YAWN.........

Yeah, the left threw everything they had at us including the kitchen sink (that would be Hillary in case you can't tell looking at her) just to see how gullible we really are.

I think they'll be pleasantly "surprised".

The interesting thing of all of this , while given most polls aren't worth the paper they are written on is Kasich scores better against both Democratic possibilities than any of the other possible GOP candidates yet he doesn't seem to have a lot of traction in the Republican race.

You know how people get real nervous about the idea of doing a Constitutional convention (at the Federal level not an Article 5 convention of the states)? Because even if you think you're safe, there's always that chance that they pass something we all regret giving them the chance to pass? Well, that's how I see Sanders. Part of me wants to have faith in the people and believe that there's no way in Hell they would ever elect a Socialist. The other part of me says "Jesus Christ, what if they did it? Let's not even give them the chance."

Oh you have to take Sanders seriously. He's inspired the youth the same as Obama did. And whoever thought BO could win a general election? Much less two!

Damn, Cruz REALLY gets his azz handed to him against Sanders. Some best re-think their positions.

Poll from yesterday. Things are way to volatile to believe in polls that far out. Hell, there are 8 point swings from day to day regarding the general election, which to me is unreliable.

The country as a whole IS going socialist. Whether that was planned or merely abetted, it is a fact.

People have found that they can vote themselves largesse out of the public funds, so much so that they depend on that largesse and would be afraid to try anything else, so the future is going the way it has for every other democracy or republic there ever was or ever will be.

The left wing socializing (I use that word deliberately) of the young by the schools and particularly the colleges has worked. Their young minds which never knew any differently accept the "fact" that rich people and capitalism are all bad and the government is the savior of mankind and will take care of everybody.

We might stave it off, maybe, for another 4 or 8 years but it's coming just as surely as young people are growing up and old people are dying off.



I'm guessing, as general statements are wont to do, that this will attract the hordes who think these general statements are directed at them personally and so will proclaim THEIR independence and how THEY aren't on the dole and yada yada. And I'm sure there really are lots of folks still like that - old and getting older.

But we and they are outnumbered and our ranks grow smaller with each passing day while theirs grow larger.

Sorry about that.

In todays America Bernie may be unbeatable. They outnumber us.

Not gonna dispute that in this poll Cruz doesn't look good against Sanders. My main point is that we should take this threat of the people voting for Socialism VERY seriously. Because even if we all want to believe it can't happen, it may.

Thanks, didn't see that one. I agree things are liquid right now. Just pretty disappointed that Sanders is ANYWHERE near even in the polls right now.

Not really, but we have a LOT,LOT,LOT of stay at homes that won't vote because their own fairhair is not the candidate. THAT has to end!!

Believe me, after the past two presidential elections, I worry! Big Time!

Exactly, going from a Socialist that jokes about not being a Socialist, to a Socialist who admits he's a Socialist, isn't a big jump.

It is probably about social security, Trump and Sanders say they are not changing it, and the candidates that are losing have a plan to change it.

Once again we are better if Hillary gets the nomination.

No way a guy like Bernie is this popular if folks weren't fed up with lying politicians. Same with trump.

i don't know that we would be better with pay to play hillary. You are saying you like the prostituted gov we have now. At least Bernie has some integrity.

It doesn't matter anyway....the DNC big shots have already stolen the race from him....the exact thing he complains about

how can he complain about that?


it's what he wants to do to the rest of us.


steal from those that work and earn, and give to those that do not.
