77. Isn't that wildly hypocritical ?

Mar 2016

You're supporting a candidate who basically lies as easily as she breathes.

She appears to have done so her entire political life - certainly since she showed up in Washington.

She seems to have executed some form of deception nearly every day for the last several weeks of this contest. For more on that, try reading the threads on this site with a smidgen of objectivity. There are hundreds of videos on the net demonstrating her incessant dishonesty using her own words.

And you are posting that you are concerned about the accuracy of what Bernie has to say?

The dishonesty of the candidate you support makes Richard Nixon look like a good guy. Her brash, rampant dishonesty is worse than Tricky Dick.

Sorry, I cannot take your concern about Bernie seriously given who you support. If you were really concerned about integrity, you would be writing non stop about how your own candidate falls so miserably short.
