Koch Bros. *heart* Bernie:

Jesse Lehrich ‏@JesseLehrich
Every Democrat in the Senate voted to reauthorize the Ex-Im Bank
Bernie channeled the Koch brothers: #DemDebate

Jesse Lehrich ‏@JesseLehrich
Ex-Im was never controversial until Koch bros tried to kill it. Bernie was only D who joined their fight #DemDebate

Eric Bradner ‏@ericbradner
Never thought I'd say this, but on Ex-Im, @BernieSanders' rhetoric exactly matches Koch-funded conservative groups. http://cnn.it/1RNeAoO

Jesse Lehrich ‏@JesseLehrich
90% of Ex-Im transactions directly support small businesses.

I don't trust David Brock's propaganda outlets. If he or his employees say it, I'm suspect. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #9

I can understand that. Brock is a loud-mouthed idiot and I wish someone would rein him in. randome Apr 2016 #11

Sure, but people like me think her use of the phrase is cynical given her relationship w Wall St aikoaiko Apr 2016 #16

And yet you cite his website, lending legitmacy rather than pulling the reins.... Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #19

Yeah, well, I didn't know that was his site. I'll remember that. But here's another. randome Apr 2016 #23

She is for fracking and GMOs artislife Apr 2016 #61

She's also said she wants to put coal mining out of business. randome Apr 2016 #83

smh. artislife Apr 2016 #89

Start with her work on the Walmart Board. It directly contradicts the first IdaBriggs Apr 2016 #28

That certainly wasn't a very populist position to take, I know. randome Apr 2016 #36

Inspired by you...and the people who don't know about her and Walmart. IdaBriggs Apr 2016 #50

Maybe she wasn't in a position to actually change the direction of the Board. randome Apr 2016 #58

That was a stupid thing to say, no doubt. And she apologized for it. randome Apr 2016 #10

And she issued a swift apology for her misstatement. Arkansas Granny Apr 2016 #15

And yet she refused to make equal amends and she has not explained HOW she could Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #21

I'm sorry you feel that way. I suspect that nothing she could say or do would ever be enough Arkansas Granny Apr 2016 #26

Yeah, you make out like it's my fault. That's adorable. Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #74

First of all, I did not attack you or pass judgment on you or blame you for anything. Arkansas Granny Apr 2016 #75

That really isn't true about Bernie not working well as a part of a team. Punkingal Apr 2016 #80

No, they don't. VulgarPoet Apr 2016 #3

Yes. The 2016 Democratic Party platform begins by addressing income inequality LanternWaste Apr 2016 #6

Do Democrats acknowledge income equality? "mutual respect and acknowledgement". If you do not seabeyond Apr 2016 #8

"Mutual respect and acknowledgment?" With stuff like this all over your journal? IamMab Apr 2016 #12

There is no way to prove anyone is right or wrong. floriduck Apr 2016 #79

Well, while I'm not a fan of hers, our leading candidate talks about it lot Recursion Apr 2016 #14

She is detached from reality. I spent my first 10 big earning years paying for things Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #27

Of course she is, but she's where the party is now Recursion Apr 2016 #35

That's not responsive to what I said. Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #73

She was one of the people instrumental in moving the party to where it is so that is no excuse. TheKentuckian Apr 2016 #93

For being "not a fan" you sure sound like a fan. What statements? Do you have any rhett o rick Apr 2016 #29

The thuggery by Sanders people continues in the form of ridiculous hides. Trust Buster Apr 2016 #31

Oh boo hoo... ljm2002 Apr 2016 #65

the jury system did just fine until the Hillary folks went ultra nasty. Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #66

Thuggery is a racist dog whistle. You should delete your post berni_mccoy Apr 2016 #77

Why would you use a racist dog whistle? Why would you point out someone only has 164 posts? cui bono Apr 2016 #92

All they offer are insults. They're driving us off a cliff and calling us stupid... onecaliberal Apr 2016 #32
