Mar 2016

She was out again with her campaign props, the mothers who have lost kids in shootings and other police incidents. One of the mothers said Hillary Clinton had approached her but that other candidate didn't.

MSNBC played the clip for Jane Sanders and she said her heart goes out to the woman, but they don't believe in contacting people who have suffered great personal tragedies to use them for their campaign.

Thats OK. I'll stay. Downwinder Mar 2016 #12

Really? Seems like they were pretty busy blaming Hillary for her inaction revbones Mar 2016 #16

So Hillary gets them injured, and Sanders was slow to patch them up? Prism Mar 2016 #26

That's an old article, they had to go looking for something to smear him with. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #4

Exactly. Hillary parades out mothers of victims revbones Mar 2016 #15

If Hillary becomes the nominee revbones Mar 2016 #13

Hillary is a shameless liar. Vattel Mar 2016 #14

She also has enough on her payroll or that of her super-PAC... nt revbones Mar 2016 #21

Just add it to the list of reasons why Hillary's campaign tactics make me less likely to support her Nanjeanne Mar 2016 #17

Hence all the recent trustworthy propaganda posts revbones Mar 2016 #18

I didn't find her trustworthy in 2008 and I don't now. But I still considered voting for her until Nanjeanne Mar 2016 #19

Before the first debate in Jan revbones Mar 2016 #20

You are Me! Nanjeanne Mar 2016 #23

I think Hillary is doing a service to show the Democratic Party for what it has become BernieforPres2016 Mar 2016 #29

I just hope she doesn't get to show the USA for what it's become, but merrily Mar 2016 #60

Yeah! What could the chair of the Veterans Committee possibly have to do with the VA? DanTex Mar 2016 #22

Maybe hold 7 hearings like he did? revbones Mar 2016 #24

Eventually... DanTex Mar 2016 #25

drip, by drip...nt Jitter65 Mar 2016 #31

Yes, because the Senate Committee micro-manages all VA Hospitals revbones Mar 2016 #32

It was on his watch, and he dropped the ball. DanTex Mar 2016 #33

Yep, because Senators are supposed to micro-manage VA Hospitals in states. revbones Mar 2016 #36

He's supposed to effectively oversee the VA, which he obviously didn't do. DanTex Mar 2016 #39

If they had done something outstanding, Bernie would be taking and getting all the credit for it. n Jitter65 Mar 2016 #30

Yeah, too bad he only got legislation passed to address it revbones Mar 2016 #34

Of course. Everything good is because of Bernie, but none of his mistakes are his fault. DanTex Mar 2016 #35

What mistake? You think passing legislation to address the problem was a mistake? revbones Mar 2016 #37

He ignored the problem for ideological reasons for too long, as even he has admitted. DanTex Mar 2016 #40

Where did he admit he personally ignored it? Didn't think so. revbones Mar 2016 #41

In that NYT article. And he was chair of the committee, Hillary wasn't. I'd have thought DanTex Mar 2016 #44

Another instance of being unable to provide a substantiating quote? revbones Mar 2016 #46

I gave you the link above: �We should have done better.� DanTex Mar 2016 #50

"ideological desire to believe in government programs"?!? Kentonio Mar 2016 #64

It's interesting the logical leaps that Hillary followers will use revbones Mar 2016 #38

Remind me when Bernie could hire and fire at the VA and had oversight merrily Mar 2016 #42

Exactly! revbones Mar 2016 #43

BOOM! VulgarPoet Mar 2016 #48

Great point. They blame him for failures over which he had no direct authority. senz Mar 2016 #61

Oh, my. That's two incredibly huge compliments in two days. merrily Mar 2016 #62

As of a year ago, I count as a veteran. VulgarPoet Mar 2016 #47

do you have any understanding how hypocritical you heading is..... Sheepshank Mar 2016 #52

Pointing out the hypocrisy doesn't make you a hypocrit revbones Mar 2016 #54
