Instead of trotting out David Brock (a former right wing hatchet man) to play the race card against Sanders' harmless Garfunkel TV ad. If you're gonna go negative, I want to see it coming straight from Hillary and Bill instead of trying to hide behind sleazy surrogates.

And supported him steadfastly throughout his presidency. It's only afterward when he became so chummy with the Bushes and then I saw the results of his actions like repealing Glass-Steagall and NAFTA that the rose colored glasses began to fade. Now I know they are both bought and highly paid for by Wall Street and I'm embarrassed I could be so gullible. Believe it!

This is about the same time that Bill lost his shineola against Obama.

The criticisms were almost identical with bills insistence that Obama's campaign was a "fairy tale". Remember that?

Bill is blathering the same thing about Bernie--that his ideas are fantasy. Anyone who doesn't fall in line with the Clinton Republican lite formula, is apparently full of pixie dust. Whatever.

These people are getting more ridiculous by the minute.

Of all people talking about integrity! Mr. Bill Clinton. Below is the SMOKING GUN that reveals the integrity of Hillary. I only hope they do not pass it down to future Clinton generations.

Hillary Clinton debate with Bernie Sanders February 5, 2016

“There is this attack that he is putting out, which really comes down to, anybody who took donations or speaking fees from any interest group has to be bought,” she said. “And I just absolutely reject that, senator. And I really don’t think these attacks by insinuation and innuendo are worthy of you. Enough is enough. If you’ve got something to say, say it directly.”

Maureen Dowd Feb6, 2016 / Hillary Battles Bernie Sanders, Chick Magnet

"When Hillary accused Sanders during the debate of doing an “artful smear” on her, charging him with insinuating that she engaged in pay-for-play with Wall Street, drug companies and other special interests, some Republicans predicted that the moment would go down as a Gary Hart-style challenge that would come back to haunt her."

SMOKING GUN: Please listen to the middle of the video below about 12 minutes in and pay close attention to what Ms. Elizabeth Warren says in 2004. Keep in mind several times Hilary Clinton has put forth the idea that no one could show how receipt of donations towards her campaign have had any effect upon her voting record.



https://www.americarisingpac.org/flashback-elizabeth-warren-on-clinton-she-can-be-bought/

Hillary Clinton accused Bernie of insinuation and innuendo rather than speaking the truth. She accused him of playing games rather than being forthright. This video is the SMOKING GUN showing Bernie was being honest, not polite or disingenuous. She asked Bernie to basically present your evidence or shut-up. It was a challenge and the question is whether Bernie really believes he is the one who can lead this nation back to its goal of justice and opportunity for all. By everyone calling Bernie a socialist, or saying he does not have the experience to lead a nation as she has, critics demonstrate their ignorance. First by not understanding history that President Franklin Roosevelt also could be considered a socialist getting legislation passed like social security, unemployment insurance, and the New Deal. Yes, Hillary has had the experience in government and look at her track record. She voted for the Iraq war and proved when Secretary of State that she was not prepared for regime change. The loss of civilian lives of a half million and our brave soldiers’ lives of almost 6,500 is the cost of her judgment and proof that experience matters little if someone does not have the wisdom to make good decisions and policies as Bernie Sanders’ record does in government. Plus you need to look at Hillary’s voting record on Gay, civil rights, and women’s rights in contrast to Bernie’s, and not just for the last few years. When Bernie finishes office as President of the United States and has restored faith in government, equal opportunity to all, a level of economic and social justice so as to set an example for the rest of the world, then it will be time for “Statespersons” like Senator Elizabeth Warren or Patricia Scott Schroeder who served in the House of Representatives from 1973 to 1997 to serve in this position. Now these are only two of the several women capable of being a good president who have the integrity, the character, judgment, and the fortitude that would make any US citizen proud. Hillary’s history as demonstrated by her actions demonstrates she is a true politician, one who puts her finger in the air and depending which way the wind is blowing, says what the citizenship would like to hear.

You need to read in the Huffington Post the article
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Socialist or "Champion of Freedom"?

04/23/2012 02:44 pm ET | Updated Jun 23, 2012 David Woolner

I have no need for any credit. This is a news story dedicated to all those in the media dedicated to tell the truth and the too many reporters throughout the world who have lost their lives just doing their job. The media that print this information are demonstrating they have integrity and are not in the pockets of special interests groups that have so much to lose if Bernie Sanders becomes President. His only special interest group that he is obliged to listen to is the average American citizen which includes about 90% of the people whether Democrat, Republican, or Independent who own as much as the other 1%.

MOST IMPORTANT IS PLEASE COPY THIS AND GET THIS TO EVERY PERSON ON YOUR MAILING LIST, TO EVERY NEWS ORGANIZATION, BLOG, THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. MOST NEWS ORGANIZATIONS WILL NEVER PRINT ANYTHING LIKE THIS AS THEY KNOW WHO PUTS THE BUTTER ON THEIR BREAD. BERNIE IS THEIR WORST NIGHTMARE AND TO BERNIE: “PLEASE BE SAFE”. THOSE IN POWER WILL GET DESPERATE AND THIS IS NO TIME TO UNDERESTIMATE THEIR INSANITY.
