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

27. Bernie made it a campaign issue

Despite voting for it, and despite claiming he did so because of a ban on automatic weapons, when in fact he supported the bill before that provision was inserted. http://www.buzzfeed.com/christophermassie/sanders-campaign-says-he-voted-for-crime-bill-due-to-weapons?utm_term=.cnjxP1Jaq#.vl8OWQPk7

The hypocrisy is not that he is making a campaign issue over something he helped make law through his vote in congress, but that People dare to point out the discrepancies. The hypocrisy would seem to be having the audacity to care about what politicians actually do rather than what they say.

Bernie chose to make this a campaign issue. The notion that no one is allowed to discuss his
Voting record and should instead uncritically repeat his claims is absurd. Votes have a responsibility to inform themselves, and no politician has a right or expectation not to be vetted. Such demands for absolute deference to authority is antithetical to an engaged citizenry and democracy itself.
