May 2016

DOMA?
NAFTA?
DADT?
Telecommunications Act?
Who signed the repeal of Glass-Steagall?

And you think HRC-WJC, Inc, and their allies in Congress aren't going to continue to favor corporations over the interests of working people?

So because Hillary according to you hasnt scolded them and Bernie has that means its her fault? cstanleytech May 2016 #98
I would never have voted for the Clintons after 2008 any way. Ned_Devine May 2016 #104
Nor I but that's because I was counting on Obama to bring change. cstanleytech May 2016 #106
I'd allege that too if my bias depended on it. Oppression allows us a moral high-ground LanternWaste May 2016 #123

No, basing your whole campaign on implying Hillary is a liar is negative. SunSeeker May 2016 #29
Ummm. . .Hillary has contradicted herself so much. Go to youtube and look up the videos Feeling the Bern May 2016 #31
Nope. She has been a Dem her entire adult life, unlike Sanders. SunSeeker May 2016 #34
Sanders makes fuckall in salary and income compared to the 100 MILLION plus AntiBank May 2016 #52
Sanders is a millionaire himself, hiding his assets under his wife's name. SunSeeker May 2016 #54
thats bullshit, the 1st sentence of your link proves it (they are worth 194,026-$741,030) AntiBank May 2016 #61
Why did the rental properties he previously listed suddenly disappear? SunSeeker May 2016 #72

Welfare reform wasn't a rightwards push? GoneOffShore May 2016 #139
"A Future To Believe In." Meant just that. liberalnarb May 2016 #48
Tell it to the more gullible. nt SunSeeker May 2016 #49
And they call Bernie fans conspiracy theorists. liberalnarb May 2016 #64
No conspiracy, it's called reading comprehension. nt SunSeeker May 2016 #73
Its not though, its just silly. liberalnarb May 2016 #77
Silly is denying that Sanders is attacking Clinton's integrity. nt SunSeeker May 2016 #96
To be fair doesnt that happen in the majority of political races? One candidate attacks anothers cstanleytech May 2016 #99
Sanders is doing much more than that. He is claiming she is bought by Wall Street. nt SunSeeker May 2016 #103
If "a future to believe in" is an attack on clintons integrity, she obviously has a problem. liberalnarb May 2016 #108
implying you can't believe Hillary. AlbertCat May 2016 #62
