Sanders is pandering for the Catholic vote riversedge Apr 2016 #129

I guess he assumed the pope would be there, and now probably regrets making a BFD of it. bettyellen Apr 2016 #142

It's just a little conference that Bernie is going to, that Hillary wasn't invited to. 2pooped2pop Apr 2016 #3

So ... Bernie forced his way into a conference for questionable reasons. Who cares? Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #109

Lol 2pooped2pop Apr 2016 #132

Posting that Sanders "forced his way into a conference" is a lie. tabasco Apr 2016 #144

You want to try and prove that I'm lying? Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #145

A preponderence of the evidence, right here. tabasco Apr 2016 #146

Strike one and two. We know how this turns out. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #147

I see you still have not posted any evidence that Sanders "forced his way into a conference." tabasco Apr 2016 #148

Sour grapes? noiretextatique Apr 2016 #5

You need to check the meaning of "sour grapes." It doesn't apply to the OP. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #110

It means you are harping about a non-issue noiretextatique Apr 2016 #134

Why would they want to invite anyone representing Wall Street banksters? imagine2015 Apr 2016 #13

Exactly... The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2016 #14

So Sanders is relegated to the nosebleed seats, AND no Pope Tarc Apr 2016 #9

And Hillary didn't get invited at all. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2016 #11

Please do your best to convince us Tarc Apr 2016 #19

"Small lies lead to large lies"? Seeinghope Apr 2016 #76

"People generally care about others who lie" - ok then... revbones Apr 2016 #79

I'm amazed that some of these people don't get nosebleeds at the altitude on their moral high horse. hobbit709 Apr 2016 #97

Then why is it bothering you so much? 840high Apr 2016 #85

Hillary didn't lobby for an invitation. n/t pnwmom Apr 2016 #22

I thought she was going to be at George Clooney's $350K fund-raising bash. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2016 #45

That's Hillary's favorite kind of "campaigning." Lizzie Poppet Apr 2016 #58

Bernie wanted to go meet George Clooney but didn't have $350,000 for a ticket Armstead Apr 2016 #17

Means he would be making a donation to a Democrat, and we know Bernie raises $0 for Democrats itsrobert Apr 2016 #42

I think the word you meant there (if you were being honest) was Plutocrat. nt Electric Monk Apr 2016 #46

He has a helluva lot more than $350,000, and he'll be dropping about 10x that amount on this junket. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #113

I am well aware of who he really is -- and I like it Armstead Apr 2016 #140

Too academic for you? SMC22307 Apr 2016 #18

She's an academic. Good lord. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #114

Wow. So many threads from Clintonites about Sanders and the invite. Why so much attention for Nanjeanne Apr 2016 #20

The last time they lost their shit like this was when the photo of Bernie being arrested surfaced. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #23

Your anger is so OTT. But if it gets you thru the day, enjoy it. Nanjeanne Apr 2016 #124

I'm not angry in the slightest -- just insistent that the truth be told. I am, however, amused... Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #125

And here I thought it was anger making you so snide and rude. My mistake. Nanjeanne Apr 2016 #131
