She was the First Lady...she supported his policies and she is running on being First lady. Punkingal Feb 2016 #26
But Bernie Voted For it. bravenak Feb 2016 #29
There's video of her pushing the bill. Bonobo Feb 2016 #32
I have his vote for it. It was a YES vote. On the bill. bravenak Feb 2016 #34
Because the bill contained the Violence Against Women Act. (But, of course, you know this already) Luminous Animal Feb 2016 #49
I want to hear him discuss it NOW. bravenak Feb 2016 #50
So you could now be accusing him of voting against the Violence Against Women act instead? Kentonio Feb 2016 #79
Addressing it now has no impact on his past vote bravenak Feb 2016 #80
He addressed it at the time he cast the vote. Why would anything have changed since then? Kentonio Feb 2016 #83
He's running for president. bravenak Feb 2016 #84
Disingenuous at best. You know why he voted for it Arazi Feb 2016 #87
People bring up the IWR even though she has addressed it many times. bravenak Feb 2016 #92
Lol, nothing he says will change your mind Arazi Feb 2016 #99
Nothing will change my mind. Very true. bravenak Feb 2016 #100
Oh but black youth are super predators who need to be brought to heel Arazi Feb 2016 #101
Sad that he voted for it. bravenak Feb 2016 #102
HRC voted for cluster bombs and war with Iraq Arazi Feb 2016 #106
You keep saying that. bravenak Feb 2016 #108
You demand discussion from him, even tho it won't matter Arazi Feb 2016 #117

I see them as unsupportable at this timd. bravenak Feb 2016 #172
And...? Kentonio Feb 2016 #89
He needs to say something now. bravenak Feb 2016 #91
Why? You're asking a question that was answered years ago. What is the point of asking again? Kentonio Feb 2016 #97
It was years ago. I want to hear him discuss it NOW. bravenak Feb 2016 #98
I'm fairly sure he's been asked about it multiple times already during this campaign season. Kentonio Feb 2016 #111
Clearly your numerous and ummm.. DEVOTED fans have missed you terribly. Number23 Feb 2016 #145
Thank you!!! bravenak Feb 2016 #218

Could you point to one office that he held that would change that. Luminous Animal Feb 2016 #226
You know we know he couldn't do anything right? bravenak Feb 2016 #234
That would be a no. Luminous Animal Feb 2016 #235
