        Yeah, Sanders is moving to the right every day? Please back up and
explain these claims, as if you take a look at transcripts of
Congressional Sessions and his voting record he is NOT moving to the
right. Look at Sander's record throughout his entire political career, and
you'll find you're guilty of a severe ultraleftist case of making
assertions without backing them up with evidence.

        Sanders has introduced the following bills in Congress, and
lobbied hard against anti-working class legislature. His record is 100%
pro-environment, pro-working class, and pro-civil rights. He also cast the
decisive vote to kill the proposed 20 billion dollar bailout of businesses
in Mexico. Here are some bills he has backed, along with the rest of the
Progressive House Caucus:
        
Workplace Democracy Act
Corporate Responsability Act
National Community Health Advisor Act
Nuclear Freeze Act
Livable Wage Act

        I suggest you look up some of these, or download the full-text and
suggest to me then that Bernie Sanders is the fake that you think he is.
Same goes with Sanders, Owens, Dellums, Jackson, Wellstone and the rest of the
Representatives you feel are corporate sellouts, or leftist fakes.
