Hm?

I didn't say he was a pacifist. I said he is a gentleman and one who supports peace and opposes unjust war.

Hillary Clinton is the one who laughed at the bayonet rape and murder of Gadaffi. ("We came, we saw, he died! Har-har-har!" --Hillary Clinton, it's on vid.) She is the one who engineered the massive destruction of Libya, the horrors of civil war and the ripping open of the country to a brutal IS jihadist invasion. It's called "Hillary's War" in Washington DC. She is the one who unleashed the fascists in Honduras to rape and murder thousands of women, many of whom are environmental and pro-democracy activists. She is the one who voted for, and enthusiastically supported, the Iraq War.

Sanders supports diplomacy, opposes "regime change," including way back when Reagan and his thugs tried murder and mayhem to bring about "regime change" in Nicaragua (as mayor of Burlington, Sanders created a "sister city" program with Nicaragua and traveled there, a dangerous thing to do at that time), and has spoken eloquently against using military force without understanding what the fuck you are doing and what will happen NEXT.

Got any other Brockian "Big Lies" to tell us about Sanders? Was he really the president of CORE in Chicago? Is that really him in all those photos, or is it his look-alike? How about the one where he's chained himself to a young black woman as Chicago cops hover over them? That black women's legs could be fake, could be a theatrical prop, since her face isn't showing. Huh? And how do we know Sanders isn't stuffing his pockets with all those $27? Better stop donating until you find out where all that moolah is going. And, hey, didn't he pick up a chair and hurl it at that poor woman trying to debate him? And at least he was thinking of it, wasn't he, the way he flails his arms around in her majesty's presence? Yeah, he was thinking it--'I'm gonna bash that broad!'

This stuff is shit and you know it. It attacks Sanders' fine accomplishments as a human being, and tries to distract from Clinton's failures as a human being--her greed, her warmongering and her ever-changing masks.

THANK YOU!!!! oldandhappy May 2016 #1
You're entitled to your opinion. Thanks for letting us know how uncomfortable Bernie's polls make JudyM May 2016 #2
I wouldn't say they make us nervous as much as it bugs us that you people use them as a way anotherproletariat May 2016 #10
I stopped reading at "never vetted." You just lost all credibility. She found nothing to hit him JudyM May 2016 #11
People do not know him. The Repubs will keep on saying "Socialist" or "former Socialist" then kerry-is-my-prez May 2016 #16
The people supporting him are not the ones this would bother. We know better. JudyM May 2016 #28
Just how would electing Sanders take power from the corporations? The President can only veto and kerry-is-my-prez May 2016 #31
Please. Give me a lesson in the branches of government. JudyM May 2016 #32
Most Indies will vote as the party loyalists that they are. Garrett78 May 2016 #36
This isn't about how I feel. This is about reality. Garrett78 May 2016 #23
Pssst. THere are some interesting facts there in the OP too. nt BootinUp May 2016 #24
Check out the RCP averages for 2008 and 2012 icecreamfan May 2016 #3
Polls showed... Garrett78 May 2016 #19
Each of those campaigns were horribly flawed SheenaR May 2016 #21
And your assumption is that Trump will be the exception to the rule? Garrett78 May 2016 #25
No no SheenaR May 2016 #26
False, I linked the RCP polling average for McCain and Romney. Obama was beating them at this point. icecreamfan May 2016 #30
It isn't false. There were individual polls that had Obama trailing. Garrett78 May 2016 #33
Seriously? Averaging polls doesn't give a better picture than individual polls? icecreamfan May 2016 #34
It's backed up by some polls. Garrett78 May 2016 #35
Where was your tut tutting of the Clinton polls being rolled out four years ago? TheKentuckian May 2016 #4
Huh? Garrett78 May 2016 #18
Are you trying to convince us pmorlan1 May 2016 #5
I'm trying to get people to stop posting meaningless garbage as if it's meaningful. Garrett78 May 2016 #17
Translation: Hillary was just surpassed by Trump in national polls AgingAmerican May 2016 #6
No, it's simply a statement of fact. Garrett78 May 2016 #15
I answered upthread SheenaR May 2016 #22
First of all, elections aren't held then, which is sort of the point. Garrett78 May 2016 #27
And what's funny.... seekthetruth May 2016 #7
And she doesn't need the white millennials, male voters, nor the women with whom she has an insta8er May 2016 #8
Well it's not "meaningless" it's just historically not a great predictor of November Recursion May 2016 #9
I think it's fair to say they're meaningless at this juncture. Garrett78 May 2016 #14
Yup...and BERNIE is no different UMTerp01 May 2016 #12
There's kids who weren't around for McGovern, Mondale, and Dukakis. Also people who can afford kerry-is-my-prez May 2016 #20
It's kind of sad, but I'm sure there are still a lot of folks who don't know who Sanders is. Garrett78 May 2016 #29
Sanders has not been vetted at all yet Gothmog May 2016 #13
You don't think David Brock has vetted Sanders? Peace Patriot May 2016 #37
The Sanders-Peace narrative doesn't jibe with reality. Garrett78 May 2016 #38
Ah! So, now he's a warmonger. And what about Hillary? Peace Patriot May 2016 #39
