This is why I trust Bernie over Hillary: beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #1

There is more to the world Skidmore Jan 2016 #2

Not to the people who died. What did she say about them again, we gave them a "gift"? beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #3

And your qualifications to make such Skidmore Jan 2016 #6

I never claimed to be more of a foreign policy expert than one of the Democratic candidates. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #8

Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night? beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #10

No, I was informed that you had the rooms booked in advance. Skidmore Jan 2016 #11

Again I never claimed I was smarter than one of our candidates, that was you. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #12

Bernie sounded exactly like Dick Cheney; so what? Sancho Jan 2016 #20

"so what?" Are you admitting you supported the Iraq war, that you believed Bush? beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #23

No, I'm saying that Bush was to blame... Sancho Jan 2016 #28

So if they could all predict what would happen why did Hillary support the war? beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #29

You are the one who wants to look at history... Sancho Jan 2016 #102

Please list those votes and also everything that was included in the bills. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #105

There are so many...but here's a well-known example of Bernie supporting the MIC... Sancho Jan 2016 #113

So you can't name them? beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #118

Sure...do you want all Sanders votes on MIC? Sancho Jan 2016 #130

Reread my post, name every vote, what else was included and why you disagree. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #132

You're asking for something that I've answered (in one example)... Sancho Jan 2016 #135

They can't get their memes straight, one day he's a hawk the next he's a "peacenik". beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #35

Bernie has been against every war since he applied as a CO in the days of Vietnam... Sancho Jan 2016 #15

He voted to go after Bin Laden in Afghanistan so your premise is false. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #19

Again, the premise is not false.... Sancho Jan 2016 #24
