HILLARY CLINTON GROUP: WTF Truthout

[ladym55]

Okay ... new email in my inbox from good ol' Truthout.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/35644-how-sanders-could-lay-the-foundation-for-a-third-us-political-party

I haven't read the piece -- not going to. I'm too freaked out by the headline. How we can bring about a THIRD PARTY under the leadership of the great and wonderful Oz--err--Bernie Sanders.

Seriously??? How freakin' stupid can we get? We have a third party of Bernie Bots, and we will be inaugurating Ted Cruz next January because we need the DOJ devoting all of its energy to harassing Planned Parenthood and our military carpet bombing the Middle East.

1. please do not interfere with the zealots on a crusade lol nt

2. Ralph Nader II

We wouldn't have invaded Iraq if Hillary voted no on the IWR

[2naSalit]

4. Indeed

Her one vote created the whole Iraq war mess, all by herself! See how amazing she is?

I am so burned out on this tripe about that one vote, for which she has apologized... but nothing is good enough for the misogynists who say they would like to see a woman president just not that woman and are so obvious that the stench is palpable from a great distance.

5. Exactly - Hillary started and fought the war by herself.

She became as powerful as Clinton's penis did.

12. Oh dear, it's the CLENIS!

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!

[OhZone]

8. Nader caused Bush and the Iraq war. nt

[creon]

16. Nader

Nader. also, did the Green Party no good at all.
The Greens though that he would help them to build their party.
He did no such thing.

3. They forgot part of the title...

How Sanders Could Lay the Foundation for a Third US Political Party...and hand the country over to the republicans for a generation

[2naSalit]

6. Absolutely!

11. His third party bid would work just like Ross Perot's--and it would last

about as long.

Perot's party passed the presidency from Repubs to Dems in the '92 election.

Forked-tongue Bern and his party would last only long enough to hand the presidency from the Dems to the Repubs in 2016.

I don't trust him or his "pledge" to support the Dem nominee any further than I can spit.

[BlueMTexpat]

20. That would take too much work and would

entail Bernie actually having to listen to and work with other people.

But let them dream ... their dreams will be shattered soon enough.

26. THIS ^^^ n/t

7. I thnk Bernie is happy with his 15 minutes.

He participated in the Democratic primary because he is certain 3rd party candidacy will not win.

His wants his legacy to be "What if?" rather than "Oh, noooo!"

9. If you want a third party, then build one.

But don't expect to get help and support from the party you are dissing while you are a candidate. If Bernie were such a savior, he could have done this on his own, right? I've seen this SOS all my adult life from the Goldwater's, Perot's, Nader's, Greens, Paul's and tea baggers. Call me when the revolution is over.

[Thinkingabout]

10. Since he already tried this with Liberty Union of which he left and there has been

problems with him and this party. Then they can blame everything on another party, not enough support, not doing everything necessary to get their candidate on the ballot, schedule their own debates, etc. If this is Sanders revolution, I guess he got his wish, as for myself, I will gladly continue with the Democratic Party, I like the Democratic platform, I know where my home lies.

13. I think Skinner seriously needs to up his timetable. eom

[Maru Kitteh]

18. ^^THIS^^

[LiberalFighter]

14. If they attempt to do that...

the DNC needs to make sure that none of the data from the VAN is transferred to them.

[creon]

15. Not a problem.

It is a free country
No one is stopping them from creating a third party.

There already is one:
The Green Party

[SharonClark]

19. The GP has Jill Stein, would Bernie be her Veep?

[creon]

22. No

jane sanders said - in the Daily beast - that they would vote for Clinton, if Bernis was not nominated

[Trenzalore]

17. Bernie ran for the democratic nomination for a reason

If he created a third party he might get 2% of the vote after people realize it is a 2 person race.

[creon]

23. That is true

Now, he is a Democrat whether he wants to be or not.

[CorkySt.Clair]

21. Truthout has become an anti Dem site

For far left cranks. Sad.

[creon]

24. Far left cranks

And, they are far left cranks - have to post somewhere.
it may as well be at truthout.

As long as people know that is what it is.

[greatlaurel]

25. I unsubcribed from Truthout & In These Times today due to the incessant barrage of right wing lies

If I wanted to read right wing propaganda lies about Hillary Clinton, I can just go straight to American Crossroads. The amount of this right wing propaganda that is being plastered all over every comment section and so-called progressive "news" sites is incredible. It sure appears that from the shear amount of lies or dirty tricks the powers that be, including self claimed liberal men, are completely terrified of a woman president. The mask of their privilege is slipping.
