21. "Clinton charged that Sanders' vote to deregulate financial markets contributed to the recession"
Mon Jan 18, 2016, 10:11 AM
Jan 2016

Accurate statement. I didn't even think it was debatable. Then again, some will actually claim that Sanders didn't build support for regime change in Iraq in the years running up to the war. We all know he did, just doesn't matter to some. Just like some think he didn't vote against a pathway to citizenship multiple times, though we know he did. Just like we know he felt "literally nauseous" when listening to JFK. Just like we know he wrote depraved sexual fantasies when he was well into adulthood, not a child or youthful adult as some would like for us to think. Just like his recent support of Tea Party legislation, teaming up with Paul to try to politicize the monetary policy even further. Just like his wife being appointed to two commission positions by Schumlin shortly after Sanders stumped for him.

Now send this off to the jury because the truth is just too much for this place. Every single word I posted is the truth.
