Profile: Vice President Bernie Sanders
Bernard Sanders is commonly stated to be the "first Socialist in the White House". From his early involvement in the political system in the 1960s, Sanders primarily campaigned on a policy of civil rights and justice. The tide of the 20th century rolled with him, bringing him into the mainstream of modern politics; a stark contrast to what "could have happened".
While remaining not a Democrat, Sanders served as Mayor of Burlington, VT during most of the 1980s, primarily serving with pride, his community. In 1989, he was elevated to the United States House of Representatives, where he struck gold. His tirades and support for new leftist agendas enamored him with the leftist factions in the Democratic Party, leading to him joining the party in the Spring of 1991.
He was a strong public speaker, and was known for his vehement disavowing of right-wing policies primarily advocated by some Southern Democrats, and some Republicans as well. In a particularly noted event in the Summer of 1991, he criticized and questioned the pro-life stance of Representative William Blythe (R-AR), a notable right-wing Republican.
However, he was also known for support across the aisle in terms of his environmental and tax policies; gaining allies in the form of Senator Arnold Gore (R-TN), Representative Herbert Bush (D-TX), among other major figures, including one John Conyers of Michigan.
Sanders was canvassed to serve on the Vice Presidential spot on the 1992 Democratic ticket after a speech in the House of Representatives interested the Presidential candidate, who asked him to serve as this Veep. After their victory of the third-term-seeking Haig, he has served as Vice President ever since.
With the 2000 election on the horizon, questions are raised as to if Bernard will be Vice President again; or if Conyers will step aside and let his Vice President run for his own. When asked, Sanders laughed and said he hadn't given it too much thought, with the crises in India.
Though, popular polling has theorized that the "best Veep" for Sanders if he was to run for President, would be Herbert Bush, eldest son of former CIA Director George Bush, and brother of Florida Governor John Bush (a Democrat). Herbert and John's political policies differ from their fathers, who served in Haig's administration from start to finish.
The 59 year old Vice President remains popular with the public, and is a standard-bearer for the leftist sentiment that has engulfed America in the last generation; with hope that it will sustain.
