Bernie Sanders vs. Homophobic congressman in 1995

Seems like I remember that. Can anybody fill in the details? Same old consistent Bernie, still on message today.

Or at least it was at the time. He took at least $2.4 million in bribes.

Here's a link to a story on it I found online awhile back. It is a pretty fascinating tale.

Had a sick smile on his face from calling out "homos in the military". Bernie is Bernie....yes, he's been the same for years, but his time has come, and people are listening! Thank you Sen Sanders for taking positions which were/have been/continue to be unpopular because you choose humanity over unfounded ideology.

Twenty years before he thought about running for President he got right up in the face of prejudice. His outrage was genuine, not posturing.

What a wonderful man. We are so lucky that he is running.

I rewatch it a lot just to remind myself that there is ONE leader who always has had my back and always will have it.

Oh yeah. Pushing DADT and DOMA in what she now calls a attempt to 'protect' the LGBT community.

She was doing 180 after 180 during that time and still to this day. She started out supporting DADT/DOMA one day, then she goes around attacking them saying that we shouldn't discriminate against the LGBT community, then gives a interview saying that the LGBT community shouldn't be allowed to marry and that she doesn't support marriage equality, then she comes out saying that they deserve the right to marry and that she never should have supported DADT/DOMA, then she goes on and on about how she has always supported LGBT rights and finally - and, as far as I know, what is her most recent position - says that it was a good thing that she supported DADT and DOMA because something something constitutional amendment.

“Mr. Chairman, do we have to call the gentleman ‘the gentleman’ if he is not one?”


Here is what Schoeder said on the occasion of the DOMA vote, very informative considering Hillary's recent retelling of the reasons:
"You can't amend the Constitution with a statute. Everybody knows that. This is just stirring the political waters and seeing what hate you can unleash."

For this or any other issue. Hence the untrustworthiness.
