Honesty, integrity and a willingness to learn and grow. An extreme rarity in US politics.

Here, here!!!!

And then he had the police kick 'us' out of his office during a sit-in (over the Gatling guns?).

Now I live in Boston, and am still following him via his emails, and the news.

We could use a few more of him!

All three Florida (born and raised 20-something) stepsons of mine regard Bernie as a hero and political necessity. I am proud of them as most of the family does not agree. Their dad raised them in an atmosphere of religion done right.

Our Vermont blessing -- helps keep me sane and figuring out how to deal with things I can't control.

But only if they voted wisely -- i.e. in agreement with me. HA!

Same! I didn’t think he’d be a good president but I respect him more and more every day for being true to his beliefs, staying in the trenches and calling a spade a spade.

He does cut across the red/blue divide and I think you have nailed the key reason.

Thanks for the wonderful comments and photos. Long ago Bernie came to U-32 to speak to students. I hope he fired them up to become lifelong voters and to know why that matters!

He used to come to our parties at Mt Philo Inn in the 1970s. I rest easier today knowing his unwavering and principled worldview. He is remarkably the same.

Rumor had he, he would never 'partake'. But did he ever loosen up and have fun?
