12. "So, here are some hard, cold truths about Bernie Sanders"

After being elected to Congress, Sanders voted in lock-step with the Democratic Party the vast majority of the time, taking campaign funds from the Democrats and even $10,000 from Hillary Clinton’s HillPAC. The notion Sanders is just some outsider who refuses to play ball or take “tainted” money is pure fiction. He takes such money when he wants or needs it. Moreover, his complaints or criticisms of certain funding sources, corporations, and/or ties between government and the corporate world tend to grow silent when his own interests overlap with those funds, corporations, or government-corporate projects.

For example: Sanders had a history of opposing bonuses for Lockheed Martin executives for a while, and his supporters like to point to this example of the Senator standing up to big business and corporate bonuses. The problem is, Sanders very quietly has come around to being a supporter of Lockheed Martin. There’s some shady history involving Sanders’ denial of being aware of certain deals taking shape between the new Burlington, VT, mayor (recall Burlington is where Sanders got his own start) and Lockheed. Yet somehow, both the Burlington mayor and Senator Sanders were simultaneously working out deals with the company for building and expanding in Vermont. What a nice little coincidence.
