As far as the topic in question. People who are against something will always be more passionate than people who are for something so continuing further is not going to lead anywhere since it seems like you have made up your mind already, and don't even want to accept the truth such as the CNN moderator's outright bias against Bernie. So I take leave with the following :) It may sound like a rhetoric but so far not many politicians have even dared to confront these big corporations for their role in diminishing the value of human lives in comparision to their profit. Recently Bernie blocked Obama's nominee to FDA on grounds that the person had strong ties to the pharmaceutical industry. These things have gone unchecked for so long that people have begun to accept them as part of life. Such official appointees cannot have such conflict of interests that the lives of people are less important than their profits.

Just having a politician who is bold enough to go after such irregularities in the government which is supposed to protect the people is a breath of fresh air and that's why I support Bernie. It does not matter whether he is successful in his bid to do that, or even if he wins the election or not. The overwhelming support that Bernie has been receiving shows that people understand this anti-democratic practice that is currently in the US politics and that it should be eradicated. It only takes a spark to start a fire. Maybe not this time but as long as the spark is there, there is still hope.

I don't have anything against the other candidates except their history of pleasing the big corporations and benefiting from them, while Bernie has a clean and consistent record of fighting against this lapse in the government. Another big fact is that he voted against Iraq invasion.

"Iraq Death Toll Reaches 500,000 Since Start Of U.S.-Led Invasion, New Study Says. Nearly half a million people have died from war-related causes in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003, according to an academic study published in the United States"

If you cannot trust a government to establish laws to protect citizens by upholding strict food and drug manufacturing processes, then that's a fundamental fallacy in the government which should be taken more seriously by the voters because that is affecting them and their families every single day, and which has had and will be having serious health concerns in the days to come.
