Inevitability of the lifeblood of political nepotism in our country. If you've got the right name, you don't have to make a valid argument. You just have to call on family friends, and make the argument having been in power is evidence that you should be in power. The fact that Bernie Sanders can't fall back on nepotism, or on political cronyism, is cited as evidence.
That. He. Just. Can't. Win.
Here's the thing. If that in fact is the case, why is it that Bernie is now coming under attack by Koch surrogates? Rob Roper, president of the Ethan Allen Institute, has been writing poison pen letters to papers throughout Vermont, arguing that putting Bernie's ideas into action in Vermont has led to increase income inequality. Idiotic, yes. Coming soon to a state near you? Probably.
See the Ethan Allen Institute is an affiliate of the State Policy Network, the Koch-funded policy propaganda apparatus in the states intended to coordinate with ALEC to push the Brothers politics onto an unwilling public by manufacturing consent.
If it's really the case, that Bernie. Just. Can't. Win. Why is it that he merits an attack from Koch surrogates? ... might it be that they realize that Bernie's ideas are the antidote to their poisonous bullshit.
