When he OWNS his role in dumping VT's radioactive waste in Tx Sierra Blanca, does sanders ever have the right to damn toxic frack waste.

Brrnie Sanders voted to kill Sen Paul Wellstone's Ammendment that would have protected tge people of Sierra Blanca from VT toxic waste ala Jane Sanders board seating. She still collects $$$ from that VT board that Sanders pushed his Bill through, on behalf of GW Bush & his investor cronies.

Yes bernie, frack waste is a campaign position that gives you a great progressive image. HOWEVER, Sen Paul Wellstone was more of a true Progressive, it turns out, than you can ever lay claim to being.

I want to know how Sanders dare stump against toxic fracking when he clearly fought hard to dump VT's Radioactive waste in Sierra Blanca.

Answer that conflict first bernie, before you make any more swell sounding campaign year demands.

Yup. Talks outta both sides of his mouth, is correct.

I'm just looking to see where, if anywhere, there could be common ground. Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #10

Almost all of the ground is already common. The differences are overblown by DU Sanders supporters. TwilightZone May 2016 #12
