It is a mayor's race...and we need to put our time and money in other places...also a candidate Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #1
Read below...have any of these been debunked because you can use the links I provide and Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #58
Umm, you're defending Mello and bashing Kaine for what reason exactly? DanTex Apr 2017 #2
Good question. nt cwydro Apr 2017 #3
Excellent question. Why? charlyvi Apr 2017 #4
I would love to hear the answer to that as well. sheshe2 Apr 2017 #5
Well, given that the OP is an active member of a different forum... cwydro Apr 2017 #9
Yup. sheshe2 Apr 2017 #10
I gotta wonder... cwydro Apr 2017 #11
I think the reason Kaine is being brought up is obvious. Some people here don't like Sanders, JCanete Apr 2017 #7

This is an excellent post. beam me up scottie Apr 2017 #19
Except that the OP is smearing Kaine. Kaine was never anti-abortion and has a 100% Lifetime rating FSogol Apr 2017 #15
That is for his Senate record, not his prior State record Tom Rinaldo Apr 2017 #21
That would be because Kaine is pro-choice BainsBane Apr 2017 #36
That isn't a lifetime rating, his record before senate was poor Kentonio Apr 2017 #48
He chose an obscure mayoral candidate BainsBane Apr 2017 #56
Did he chose? Kentonio Apr 2017 #59
Mello's record can't be denied: musette_sf Apr 2017 #55
Another question... progressoid Apr 2017 #16
I wonder about that as well. beam me up scottie Apr 2017 #17
Curious ain't it? progressoid Apr 2017 #29

Why do you think that presenting Kaine's positions & statements on abortion is "bashing" him? Honeycombe8 Apr 2017 #62
Oh, good grief! This shit again? NurseJackie Apr 2017 #6

This is an OP justifying underminging equal rights BainsBane Apr 2017 #22
I think the OP is about hypocrisy. progressoid Apr 2017 #28
who is among those who don't stand for what they pretend to BainsBane Apr 2017 #30
Chuck and Harry have had that kind of influence... progressoid Apr 2017 #37
Ridiculous. BainsBane Apr 2017 #38
"Who have you ever seen adopt a position because they did?" progressoid Apr 2017 #40
You said they exercised the same kind of influence Bernie did BainsBane Apr 2017 #41
I should have been more clear. Their influence was more underhanded. progressoid Apr 2017 #43
I think the raised hackles have more to with that certain senator's lukewarm support of Ossoff and Demit Apr 2017 #31
"All Democrats are not progressives" was the quote BainsBane Apr 2017 #39
yes, but i think his reasons for support/lack of support had more to do with who supported him in JI7 Apr 2017 #42
I suspect you're right. Which makes the criticism of Sanders this past week perfectly legitimate. Demit Apr 2017 #44
You're probably disliking those accusations because they're not intended for you Kentonio Apr 2017 #49
There is a lot of presupposing of motives going on. Demit Apr 2017 #52
We are told by many here to always vote D, not matter their actual stances on things. alarimer Apr 2017 #12
Isn't it great you now have a position you can endorse enthusiastically BainsBane Apr 2017 #32
It's strange.. Kentonio Apr 2017 #50
Stop smearing Kaine. Allowing a pro-life license plate doesn't make someone "anti-abortion" FSogol Apr 2017 #14

Interesting to see you actively justify moving the party to the right BainsBane Apr 2017 #23
First Tom? And now Steve??? Wow you are on a roll tonight BB!!! JoeOtterbein Apr 2017 #27
Did you read the OP? BainsBane Apr 2017 #33
Thanks Steve! GREAT to see you on the trending list again! JoeOtterbein Apr 2017 #26

Mello was endorsed by an anti-choice group BainsBane Apr 2017 #34
Mello's record speaks for itself musette_sf Apr 2017 #54
Kos rescinded their endorsement of Mello Starry Messenger Apr 2017 #47
The more centrists the DNC backs the further right we go countryjake Apr 2017 #51
Fortunately the DNC rescinded it's endorsement BainsBane Apr 2017 #57
