yes, he does know which battles to fight. but as to Koan... one might note that he hopes for more "men of conscience"... not more people. yes, that is telling and not unexpected. need us some more great white men. sexists will always see things in terms of males, and in terms of white males. MEN of conscience. indeed. good luck with that.

<<"The Senate on Thursday opened its first full day of debate on the $858 billion tax package, and the one person who seemed to have a lot to say about it was its fiercest opponent: Senator Bernard Sanders, independent of Vermont. He spent more than eight hours on the floor railing against the plan to continue the tax policies of George W. Bush, as well as, the estate tax proposal , which is more generous to wealthy estates than in any year of Mr. Bush’s presidency. “This nation has a record-breaking $13.8 trillion national debt at the same time as the middle class is collapsing and poverty is increasing,” Mr. Sanders said. “It seems to me to be unconscionable, unconscionable for my conservative friends and for everybody else in this country to be driving up this already too high national debt by giving tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires who don’t need it.”
