Bernie takes Hillary to task for having no position on some issues and the wrong position on others [View all]
from the Rutland Herald:
Sanders throws more barbs at Clinton
“I voted against the war in Iraq, and I think history will absolutely record that as being the right vote; Secretary Clinton voted for it,” Sanders said (in Iowa Saturday, the day of Hillary's campaign kickoff).
He hailed the U.S. House’s rejection Friday of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal and faulted Clinton for not taking a clear position, saying “You can be for it, you can be against it, but I don’t understand how you can have no opinion on this issue, and sadly, that is the secretary’s position...”
“I happen to believe and agree with the scientific community that climate change is the great planetary environmental crisis that we face. I helped lead the effort against the Keystone pipeline,” he said. “Secretary Clinton did not have an opinion on that...”
“Not because I don’t believe that terrorism is a serious threat to this country, it is, but I believe that we can combat terrorist attacks against this country in ways that do not undermine the Constitution or the privacy rights of the American people,” he said. “Secretary Clinton voted on the other side of that issue,” he said.
“I believe in running intelligent, issue-oriented campaigns which respect the voters. You cannot imagine, every day I’m being asked to attack Hillary Clinton. That’s right. Literally, people get angry because I don’t attack her. And I’m not going to,” Sanders said.
