HILLARY CLINTON GROUP: WTF Truthout
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. ![]()

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.

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. |

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. ![]() |

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. |

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.

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.

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

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 |

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.

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.
