So the VA emergency room requires an appointment? Is that what this means? The VA doesn't allow vets to got to emergency rooms at other facilities? If Scalia had a doctors appointment did he just "die while waiting to see the doctor?"

So how did you guys like the "Why We Fight" films?
Better than PotatoHead's smoloko.com poison, I hope.

couchmaster: I rarely read your, either.
Too bad you didn't have the intellectual integrity to learn what kind of a nation so many of your forefathers gave their lives to create for future generations.
BTW: if PotatoHead isn't a Nazi, he's a certifiable lunatic.

Great article crankster, and an excellent reason why a Sanders nomination would be a complete failure and disaster for progressive policies. There would be another Scalia if Sanders gets the nomination.

As a voter, who came of age in the late 60s, I'm not so sure, I would dismiss the Sanders candidacy so easily. I did skim the letter.
For one thing, people need to consider the effect on young voters. They've dangled Sanders in front of young idealistic voters, while they try, for the second time, to impose Hillary Clinton on the party. The long-term effects, will be profound.

nominating Bernie would pave the way for a Trump win.
Many of Sanders supporters are first time voters, and are hellbent on seeing Bernie win. If Hillary gets the nomination, I see them sitting out the election.

Maybe Hillary has too much baggage--it's definitely an open issue.
But a tax-raising socialist is DOA. He's not leading among dems in the primary: how could he possibly win a general?
Even without Faux News and its allies tarring him as the latest incarnation of Stalin, which will happen--make no mistake, many people already view him as a commie, even among Tacoans here who should know better.

Actually, I think the premiss of the op-ed is wrong:
... the problem isn’t that Clinton isn’t liberal enough; the problem, according to the best data we have, is that she may be too liberal.
No, the problem is that Clinton takes millions from Wall Street and is a puppet of the establishment.
People focus on Sanders' "welfare" programs as a way of attacking him. When everybody knows, those ideas will never pass in Congress.
Bernie is brave enough to say that climate change in our #1 enemy. And if you look at what scientists are saying, he is right.
I don't think the fractured GOP has a chance in this election cycle--when any of those candidates join a real debate, with real questions (like they're asking in the Dem debates), the GOP will look like the fools that they are. Sure, they will get close to half the country voting for them. That'd happen even if they got Michale Jackson's chimp to run. But the truth is, the next president won't be a Republican, unless there is serious voter fraud.

Indeed. My wife is a Sanders supporter - though not a first timer - and she says, if it comes to Hillary vs Trump, she will just stay home.
The Democrats, have made a massive mistake here, as I have been saying for months. They need to accept it and move on.

Better to vote for what you want and not get it, than to vote for what you don't want and get it.

Thank you Gary! That OPED is just what it is an opinion. And one that I think is wrong. You Bern doubters are missing the boat, and/or just trying to undercut his support. Tisk tisk...

What good does it do to nominate someone who can't win?
It would be huge slide backwards if republicans take over. How would that make anyone feel better about the outcome?
