Hello everybody!

I live in KY...right in the buckle area of the Bible Belt...but not to worry...I was born in LA and raised in Denver and Cincinnati...so I can get along with most people...I have already been ignored by at least two Bernie fans for saying that perhaps if they dismiss polls for Hillary, they should not crow about polls that favor Bernie. So right off I am off to a good start, no? I could have been a lot worse...I like HRC, but Bernie is ok too. I may even vote for him if his boosters would stop promoting right wing talking points that denigrate Hillary. How much Fox and Limbaugh do these people read and watch, you know?

Anyway, I am non-religious and like sports...except for soccer. I said I like sports, after all. I am not a blind supporter of any candidate. I vote my conscience.

Full Disclosure: I'm an active member of the Bernie Sanders group in DU (look under Democrats on the left side list)
We really are not just repeating right wing talking points. I never ever watch Fox or listen to Limbaugh and I seriously doubt any Sanders supporter does either except for "entertainment" or just to know what the (right wing) enemy is saying. I invite you to check out Bernie's website and see if anything he says resonates with you. :https://berniesanders.com/issues/


There's lots more than politics going on here so take a look around.
