74. Sanders' votes against the Brady bill

Fri Jun 19, 2015, 10:18 AM

and for the CORPORATE GUN INDUSTRY to be immune from civil liability. Unlike your ridiculous screed, that directly relates to the deaths in Charleston. Yet for some reason, people are more than willing to sanction votes for domestic war that kills millions of Americans, while claiming to be anti-war abroad.

I'm sorry you don't hold those people in Charleston, the children in Sandyhook, and the other 32,000 Americans killed every years from guns in as high esteem as you do a mass murder like Qaddafi.

The Israeli apartheid state, really? You're going to go there and not pretend Sanders isn't just as bad if not worse on that issue? Or is it that in reality you really don't care about any of that, but that your only concern is to attack Democrats?

Your post is transparent, unprincipled bullshit.

People will take Clinton seriously. You, on the other hand, will not be.
