On the right side of history every time.

That's a really dumb line. History is written by the winners, not by morality. "On the winning side of history" would be more accurate, but only to the extent that he's winning. Losing a vote isn't generally considered a win. Winning a vote isn't necessarily considered moral.

Reagan was a winner and a lot of people disagreed with that direction. GWB was a winner and a lot of people disagreed with him. What's "right" lies solely in the eye of the beholder.

How was Reagan a winner? :shrug:

I'm pretty sure the harsh war on drugs he helped promote is falling to the wayside (he was on the wrong side of history) and he certainly wasn't for gay rights.

How was GWB a winner? :shrug:

Pretty sure we look back on the Iraq war as an absolute failure and so much for the Defense of marriage act...

When gay rights are taken back and the war on drugs gets stronger then I'll consider them winners.

Neither of them are winners except for the fact that they won 3 out of the 4 elections that they ran in

And to be fair and balanced (like my favorite news channel), Chillary Blinton was on the wrong side of history as well (Iraq war, gay marriage, etc.)

Well that's a dumb post.

Facts don't care about "winners".

The point of my post was that Bernie has an impeccable history when it comes to his judgement.
He was on the right side of history on every important socio-economic issue.

That makes him a winner.

Cracks me up when people say that building casinos with you daddy's money is a better presidential qualification than good judgement.

Appropriate since Bush and Sheen did far, far more than their share of bumps and Reagan/HW helped bring it to them!
