Tough on crime a main policy of Clintons. Hypocritical for them to attack Bernie on his vote.

12. Agree madflo, and he didn't vote for this,

he voted for the Violence Against Women provisions and the assault weapons provisions which this version of the bill contained. He knew it was going to pass anyway, the question was with these parts included or not.

As usual, he made the right call. This is a good example of how he is actually the "practical progressive", in getting done the good that was possible at the time, in the midst of the bad that couldn't be prevented.

Hillary was the force behind the bad. (Film clips of her promoting it prove that.)

If anyone cannot see the difference in his actions and hers, it's a waste of time discussing it with them. (As the Bible saying goes, "There are none so blind as those who will not see".)

This has been brought up 3 times by the Hillary contingent that I have commented on it, and I saw it at least that many times, also by them, that I didn't comment... it is becoming intentional spam at this point. It's pretty hypocritical to keep bringing up claims that have been repeatedly debunked, too.

Since we're on this subject again, there is one point on this subject which hasn't been made yet. We did not know then, and Bernie did not know then, no one knew then that at the very same time that this Crime Bill was being passed (on phony stats much like the Iraq War, but that's another topic), the private prison industry was being created. We did not have private prisons at that time. It was a brand new thing.

The fact that this law soon doubled the prison population, and the fact that the Clintons were involved at the very same time in setting up prisons for profit (Al Gore too, I'm sad to say), is twice as reprehensible as we knew at the time. That is a whole different dimension of moral depravity. It is slavery all over again. And that is why Hillary coralling the black vote and bragging about it as she does is simply intolerable for any moral person.

Thanks for the thread. Clearly it's needed, to clear the air and set the record straight.
