Bernie on Parade

Parade, that Sunday newspaper magazine you'll find in mucho Sunday papers around the country (but not the Free Press) is publishing its annual "What People Earn" feature this weekend, and the only Vermonter in the 117 people singled out in this year's package is freshman Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Sanders, reports Parade, makes $165,200, plenty more than the nation's median salary of $36,140, but plenty less than some of the rich and famous among the lucky fols whose smiling faces, job titles, hometowns and salaries adorn the pages of the April 13 Parade.

Most of the high rollers in the group of 100 featured in the Parade "survey" are actors, actresses and celebrities. In case you care, Dr. Phil (McGraw) makes $90 million, Oprah Winfrey makes $260 million and rapper 50 Cent makes $33 million.

On the low end of the totem pole, there's Titus the Titan, a pro lacrosse mascot from East Rockaway, N.J. His masked face appears right next to Sanders on Page 17, and poor Titus hauls in just $3,000 a year.

Exactly the point of all this is hard to say, but there you have it.

For the record, a spokesman for Sanders said Friday he had no clue that Bernie would be appearing in the Parade issue. "Is he on the cover?" asked Mike Briggs.

Ah, no. That honor went to the likes of 15-year-old actress Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana, who made $18.2 million, and Trouble, Leona Helmsley's dog, which made $12 million.

How out of skew is Vermont. Sanders is a US Senator and he's only earning $15,000 more than Jim Douglas, who is governor of one of the nation's smallest states.

Except that Douglas has to spend every waking minute trying to stem the tide of radical leftists in the Senate and House trying to complete the turnover of Vermont into a far-left, loony third-world-type state. All Bernie has to do is his USUAL NOTHING. Of course, every so often he has to take a trip to Vermont and tell the local suckers that "he's going to take all the money away from those rich people", give everyone everything they ever wanted, and make the occasional rant to an empty house or Senate, blah, blah, blah. Let's see - Bernie has been in Washington now for over 25 years? Gee, Vermont sure has gone up the scale, hasn't it?

How come no mention of "Household Income?" How much does Bernard's wife and step-daughter make running his campaigns and Burlington College?

So Bernie IS one of the fat cats making the top 2% in income.

Given his stated position that the Fat Cats should pay more in taxes, I wonder if he is making voluntary additional tax payments to the IRS and State to ensure he is paying his fair share?

What a surprise.... but it goes back to the comment VTers endure and accept lies and incompetence from its Pols with the best of them.

Let's see if I have learned anything from this blog it is:

1. we don't like carpet bagging flatlanders.

2. We love Bernie

3. Bernie is an import from New York (a carpetbagger I believe you call it)

So....
No to carpetbaggers, Yes to Bernie, but wait...Bernie's a carpetbagger....how does that work again?

Really? "Pointed out" by whom and on what evidence, little brain-dead/bushleague bigot boy?

Feel free to fail to prove that along with everything else you've failed to prove since your ignorant ass first showed up here, little bigot boy.

You're 0-everything in the six months that I've been here and you don't fare any better in the archives.

Then again, you and the entire nameless-nitwit community do function pretty well as a reverse barometer, little bigot boy.

This is what you get for the $165K we pay Bernie (compliments of VT Tiger). Said like a true Dem. Can he be more of a flip flopper?
-----------------------
The Flip-flopping Bernie S....

President Bush is forcing Congress to vote on a free trade agreement with Colombia. Freshman Senators like Vermont's Bernie Sanders are spearheading opposition to the deal.

--Vermont Public Radio news reports Senator Sanders to say(rfefering to Columbia):

"And it is absolutely wrong that our workers have to compete against people who make 50 cents an hour."

From the website of the same Senator Sanders [regarding our Trade Status with Cuba]:

American businesses are losing billions of dollars and Canadians and Europeans are winning business as a result of the economic embargo.

So if I am to understand Senator Sanders correctly, we should end the embargo with Cuba and begin trading with Cuba to help the Cuban people and to increase business for American corporations. And we should reduce our trade with Columbia to help the Columbian people and American workers.

I think I have that straight.

And of course the guy that pulls his strings, George Soros, the one-world, evil manipulator whose goal is to destroy the U.S. as a nation. Brooklyn Bernie is only too eager to be a "soldier" (the only one he will ever be) in this anti-American cabal led by Soros and fueled by his propaganda organs, DailyKos and MediaMatters.

Well, given the fact that Sanders was elected overwhelmingly by the People of Vermont, we know they don't listen to your ignorant ass, little factually-challenged fella.

Seems Bernie is in the same Top 2% of wage earners that he so regularly accuses of being fat cats and not paying their fair share in taxes. I don;t hear him talk about this in his stump speeches.

I guess he too must benefit from the Bush tax cuts or do you think he makes voluntary additional tax payments since he is a man of integrity and conscience.

You've produced your usual no evidence to support your ignorant-slop allegations.

Once again, the only thing you've managed to establish is that you're ignorant, anonymous trash with bupkis makin' allegations ya can't back up, little lyin'-slime fella.

There's no "Seems" about it.

Your customary lack of evidence in support of your ignorant slop is absolute, schmuck. There's no need for "seems" or any other qualifiers. There never is.

"I guess he too must benefit from the Bush tax cuts or do you think he makes voluntary additional tax payments since he is a man of integrity and conscience."

Again, little fella, I've no doubt that you'll fail to produce any evidence demonstrating that he said that he didn't benefit from them along with all the other non-existent evidence you've failed to cough up in the course of your standard routine making bogus, lunatic-fringe allegations you can neither substantiate or prove.

In defense of Brooklyn Bernie being a fat cat and not doing the right thing by voluntarily paying his fair share of income taxes, JW rants: "Nothing [prevents Bernie] but the policies of the Bush Administration and the late unlamented gop-run Congress, little factually-challenged fella."

Even when you try to offer a fact in defense of this con man, you can't get it right. The IRS gladly accepts voluntary payments from any citizen who believes they have not paid their proper amount of tax. That is the Government's policy Coopy.

BTW you can let Bernie know they accept checks, money orders and wire transfers.

Now stop cutting your Civics class at the Jethro Bodine Academy of Higher Learning so you don't embarrass yourself the next time you try to speak authoritatively about the US Gov't's policies.

Let's give Brooklyn Bernie a break - after all, look at what he, Pat Leahy, Welch, and the dims have done since taking over Congress in 2006: Before their takeover, consumer confidence reached a 21/2 year high, since then it has plummeted. Reg. gas was about $2.20 a gallon, now it is $3.50. Unemployment was 4.5%, now 5%.Home equity has dropped $1.2 trillion, and American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity GONE (stocks, mutual funds). And remember the cry of dims that Bush only went to war for CHEAP GAS? No wonder these morons have the lowest favorable poll numbers in the history of this country! GO BERNIE (back to Brooklyn)!

As always, reading your nameless-nitwit nonsense, I can't help but be reminded of the words of the Judge when he tossed the Fox/Billo nuisance suit against Al Franken in '03 when he ruled it to be "wholly without merit, both factually and legally".

Neither you, bubbles, barre boy or any other nameless-nitwit member of the ignorant, anonymous-trash community has made a legitimate argument or point supported by factual evidence since you got here.

You haven't raised one in the six months I've been here and the archives clearly demonstrate that you didn't and couldn't make one before I got here.

You were ignorant, anonymous trash with bupkis before I got here. You've been ignorant, anonymous trash with bupkis since I've been here and I see no evidence of any capacity or intent on your part to remedy that situation in the future.

Clearly, you're ignorant, usually-anonymous trash with bupkis and ya like and intend to keep it that way.

You and your ignorant slop remain, "wholly without merit, factually, legally, historically, intellectually and ethically.

I have, eh? Feel free to fail to produce evidence of me claiming that along with the evidence of everything else you've failed to produce, little factually-challenged/fundamentally-dishonest fella.

That's what I thought.

Bush did this with the help of a Gop-controlled rubber-stamp Congress, a Gop-dominated Judiciary and a spineless media who let and continues to let him get away with it.

He couldn't have done it without them.

The gops controlled Congress for twelve years - 1/95-1/07. That period encompassed the last six years of Clinton's eight years in office and the first six of Shrub's.

Even when Jeffords left the gops to become an Independent in 01, the Gops retained operational control of the Senate because the gops controlled the White House and the Dems lacked a veto-proof majority.

They still do.

The Gops rubber-stamped virtually everything Shrub sent them during the period from 1/01 - 1/07 and the Dems had little to no input on any legislation and were powerless to stop the gops from rubber-stamping virtually everything Shrub sent them under Congressional Rules.

Those are facts, little fella.

How many spending bills did Shrub veto when the gops were running the show. Are you gonna tell me that spending and the deficit went down in the first six years of shrub's reign of error?

If so, knock yourself out.

How many bills has shrub vetoed since the Dems took over control of Congress as of 1/07?

Just what policies have the Dems instituted since taking over have led to our current situation with respect to the price of gas, home-heating oil, Iraq and the cost of living, little factually-challenged fella?

That's what I thought.

As is the case today in Vermont, we are currently in a period of divided Government with one party controlling the Executive Branch while another controls the Legislative Branch.

Under those conditions, if the Executive Branch and the Congressional Minority is determined to veto any and all legislation it doesn't like, the Senate needs 60 votes to override Shrub's veto. They don't currently have 60 votes.

That condition did not exist when the Gops were helping Shrub run the Country into the ground during the first six years of Shrub's Presidency since the Dems were either in the minority or lacked a veto-proof majority - a condition that still exists - and all he needed was a simple majority to pass his lunatic-fringe legislative priorities and to enact his disastrous policies.

The Dems have enacted no policies that could be deemed responsible for the latest Bush Recession since they regained Control of Congress as of 1/07. They haven't had the opportunity to enact any.

This situation is the sole responsibility of Bush, the late unlamented Gop Congressional Majority who rubber-stamped his disastrous policies and the Gop Judiciary who installed him on the Throne in the first place.

Again, those are facts.

If you wanna argue stuff on the merits, get some, schmuck.

Dismissed.

JW to your 12:44 rant you seem to forget:

YOU have to prove your statements, not me. Remember? That’s your mantra. Live it.. Why are you asking me to? Your statements are opinion, not fact. You have nothing. You know nothing. You can prove nothing. You rant and you spew but you have never provided one fact as you so vilely demand of the rest of the board.

You have once again have rationalized events of the last year as the fault of the Majority with the Minority party being helpless victims...those poor old Bush guys did it to me. That is exactly the problem with you libs. You want to assign blame for your failures. It after all is so much easier than taking charge of your existence, being accountable for your actions and actually working hard against the odds to make something better. That is the American way. Entitlements are not. Fighting for what is right against the odds is the American way. Hiding behind excuses for failing to do what you committed to your constituents is not.

I remember some big talk from Pelosi and Reid after the last elections.... a lot of promises all basically broken...that mean old GW did it again. Come on; grow up. Be a man. Bernie S pretends to be the champion of the common man fighting the Fat Cats when he is a Fat Cat. Symington and Shumlin have been utter failures at making anything better under their leadership. Pelosi and Reid have led the Congress to its lowest approval ratings that I can remember. After that failure they want more responsibility. Right... Get a clue, the idea of politics is you learn to work together, the left and right, to find a common solution. What has the Minority done over the last years other than elevate partisan-ism to all time highs. Great. What can you possibly be thinking?

You are a true dunce.

jw should never be banned from this blog. As a conservative who thinks the education system has gone to hell in a hand basket, and that liberal wimpology is ruining this country, jw 's blogs present a better argument than I ever could. That is the left's game - muzzling those they disagree with with phoney "fairness doctrines", or "sit-down" disruptions like those connected-at-birth idiots Boots and Colby.

Bubba's dead on in his description of the economic problems; it's just that 7+ years of the Bush administration is the cause not the recent slim Democratic majority in Congress. That's obvious to anyone not a dedicated Bush partisan.

As always, feel free to fail to prove that along with everything else you've failed to prove, little factually-challenged/never fail to fail fella.

Now, take out the garbage, clean up the dog crap on the lawn and earn your keep for a change, kiddo.

No one can explain why the economy went downhill after the dims took over Congress? They are professionals and this is what they do. You can't establish your new socialist world order until you first destroy the old. Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot all knew this.

A report today stated that food prices have increased the greatest amount in 17 years. Why? Fuel - gas and oil. We know one reason is the increasing demand for oil from China and India, but think about it - for years liberals have successfully fought attempts to drill in a few acres in Alaska and other places in the US where oil is plentiful. 10 years ago I used to hear "it will take 10 years for that oil to be available" from the lib-dim-enviros. Well, it is now 10 years later, and of course we don't have that oil so prices are soaring. Sure would be nice to go back to that $2.15 a gallon gas before November, 2006!

You certainly haven't, little bigot boy.

Again, precisely what policies have they enacted that have plunged us into yet another Bush Recession?

Is Bush still President? Have they forced him to sign anything into Law that has plunged us into yet another Bush Recession, little fella?

If so, name it and produce the evidence to substantiate your claim. If it's as clear cut as you say, I'm sure you'll have no problem coughing it up.

That's what I thought.

"They are professionals and this is what they do. You can't establish your new socialist world order until you first destroy the old. Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot all knew this."

Well, unless you can provide evidence that Mao, Stalin and Pol Pot are currently serving in Congress, what States and/or Congressional Districts they represent, Committees they chair or serve on and legislation and legislative priorities they're actively involved in moving through the Legislative Process for Bush to sign and enact into Law, that's not really relevant to the issue at hand.

Can ya do that, bubbles?

That's what I thought.

You're ignorant trash with bupkis, schmuck. Ya always are.

Dismissed.

He ain't bright enough to deviate from the scipt. And for proof of that, just look at the dozens of same-old, same-old "bupkis slop" served up again and again and again and again.

I have. You're ignorant trash with bupkis, schmuck.

And what policies have the Dems implemented since they took control of Congress are responsible for the increase in fuel prices since then, little bigot boy?

Just what Bush policies have the Dems reversed since they took control of Congress as of 1/07 that have caused this mess?

That's what I thought.

You're ignorant trash with bupkis, bubbles. Ya got no evidence. Ya got no case. Ya got no clue.

Ya never do.

Dismissed.

Sure, just as soon as you stop proving to me that you're something more than that, little fella.

After six months of your ignorant slop, I'm beginning to think I've been entirely too easy on your ignorant, anonymous asses, little factually-challenged fella.

Dismissed.

JW rants (again): "Once again, quit stealing my material. I realize your must be feeling the pressure to get new stuff but stealing the work of others is only something Barack Obama does."

As always, feel free to fail to prove that along with everything else you've failed to prove, little factually-challenged/never fail to fail fella."

Way to simple Coopy....from your favorite source of factual and unbiased info, The Huffington Post:
"After an hour of somber, substantive debating between Obama and Clinton, the issue of plagiarism "brought the two candidates out of their slumber."

Asked about his lifting of lines from Gov. Deval Patrick (Mass.), Obama sought to dismiss the charges of plagiarism as the sort of politics the American public is sick of. "The notion I had plagiarized from someone who is one of my national co-chairs who gave me the line and suggested I use it I think is silly," Obama said. "This is where we get into silly season in politics and people start getting discouraged about it."

Clinton, however, clearly believes this is a political weak spot for Obama and went after it -- hard. "If your candidacy is going to be about words, they should be your own words," said Clinton. "Lifting whole passages is not change you can believe in, it's change you can Xerox."

You have learned lessons from the Master well, little butterfly.

Anyone else's material you want to take credit for....so far you owe royalties to me, Deval Patrick, and probably Randi Rhodes and Bill Maher.

I take personal checks, money orders and most major credit cards.

Nameless nitwit with bupkis spews:

Gee, evidence of what Hillary Clinton believes.

That's swell, little delusional-deducebag dreck-dealer fella.

Now ya can feel free to fail to produce evidence that The Huffington Post is my "favorite source of factual and unbiased info" to the ever-expanding list of things ya can't produce any evidence to support and can't prove, little fella.

So, that's what Hillary Clinton believes

Once again, the only thing you've managed to prove is that ya can never manage to prove anything and it's never a bad move to call your ignorant-trash bluff because ya never have the cards and you're just really, really bad at this, little factually-challenged/fundamentally-dishonest fella.

I never doubted your inabilities for a second, little fella.

My faith that you will never fail to fail remains as unshakable as ever.

Always a pleasure.

Sure, thing Wile T. Just as soon as I see your anonymous-nitwit copyright and ya can find a Judge who won't declare your claim to be "wholly without merit, both factually and legally" and toss your trash without fining your ignorant ass for abuse of the legal process, little factually-challenged fella.

Good Luck with all that, schmuck.
