Really too bad. It would be nice to be able to support one's own candidate without tearing down another. Bernie seems to be able to do this. Why can't his supporters?

You bet your life he is Aerows Jul 2015 #14

Kind of ironic that you want to be "for" something and yet you can't seem to be for DanTex Jul 2015 #9

I live in the United States of America Aerows Jul 2015 #10

That's a great question ibegurpard Jul 2015 #12

Well done. Hillary Clinton believes in investing in America. DanTex Jul 2015 #18

We need to fight for better infrastructure. Aerows Jul 2015 #33

I agree. So does Hillary. And has for a long time. DanTex Jul 2015 #42

Then let's all start advocating for those things. Aerows Jul 2015 #63

You don't live in my nation Aerows Jul 2015 #17

1-6 Leave. Agschmid Jul 2015 #19

Unbelievable. Maybe I, as the one offended, should have alerted that obnoxious post? George II Jul 2015 #21

WTF are you talking about???? If I don't live in your nation.... George II Jul 2015 #20

That's my question. Aerows Jul 2015 #29

OT but since I see you here I wanted to apologize. You got a hide and I now see it was a bad hide Autumn Jul 2015 #75

+1000 marym625 Jul 2015 #77

Here's the "Rec circles" Autumn...please seaglass Jul 2015 #78

A person asking someone to rec their own OPs in another forum is not what I think a rec circle Autumn Jul 2015 #80

Yeah I don't really know what a rec circle is, it's a new term for me, I just assumed it was people seaglass Jul 2015 #84

I agree with you on that I rarely do rec those Ops Autumn Jul 2015 #85

The operative line is: George II Jul 2015 #93

I didn't read that OP and I'm not interested in discussing it. My post was addressing your hide Autumn Jul 2015 #96

Thank you about the hide - I was stunned when it happened. George II Jul 2015 #98

No problem. I just wanted to speak up and point out what was wrong. Autumn Jul 2015 #101

It's amusing Aerows Jul 2015 #103

Whats that you say my friend? Autumn Jul 2015 #113

If you stay on message Aerows Jul 2015 #115

Here we go. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #22

What would that be? n/t Aerows Jul 2015 #30

It. It is happening. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #31

Woo Hoo! Aerows Jul 2015 #34

I'm happy you're excited about 2016. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #54

I really am Aerows Jul 2015 #56

What a freaking obnoxious, and WRONG, thing to say about me! George II Jul 2015 #40

Based on your comments, I'm wondering why you're a follower of Bernie Sanders? George II Jul 2015 #48

Provoke much? Aerows Jul 2015 #51

Me provoke? I didn't make the obnoxious comment that "you don't live in my nation". George II Jul 2015 #73

Wow Bobbie Jo Jul 2015 #92

The text of the "you don't live in my nation" was: George II Jul 2015 #94

Another "papers please" moment Bobbie Jo Jul 2015 #100

... pacalo Jul 2015 #105

? Bobbie Jo Jul 2015 #108

"Papers please" the OP did that same thing to me not too long ago. LOL! Number23 Jul 2015 #110

Exactly Bobbie Jo Jul 2015 #117

When we get back, we'll be giving people like this -- on both sides of the aisle --a very wide berth Number23 Jul 2015 #118

Exactly. Facts are facts and something has to change before Corporations own sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #70

Me too, and I don't think it's going to be too difficult. Because he is such sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #72

Dan marym625 Jul 2015 #25

I certainly did. It wasn't conjecture, though, it was based on his voting record. DanTex Jul 2015 #28

Your post and the links had much conjecture marym625 Jul 2015 #32

I am making negative posts about Hillary bashers. This is because a large number of the Hillary DanTex Jul 2015 #38

You are either in denial marym625 Jul 2015 #43

Go to the GD-P front page, and count the anti-Hillary and anti-Bernie OPs and then get back to me. DanTex Jul 2015 #46

I'm not talking OPs marym625 Jul 2015 #50

Predictable. As soon as facts enter the equation, change your tune, and head for the nearest exit. DanTex Jul 2015 #53

I figured you would say something like that marym625 Jul 2015 #57

You are correct. "Hillary is owned by the banks" is a little hyperbolic. They just give her large rhett o rick Jul 2015 #62

Thanks for the illustration. As long as these right-wing smears are being posted against Hillary DanTex Jul 2015 #64

H. Clinton has very close ties to two of the worst banks in the world, Goldman-Sachs and HSBC. rhett o rick Jul 2015 #123

Don't forget the American Camping Association! DanTex Jul 2015 #124

That's very clever but not much of a deflection from the fact that she has close ties rhett o rick Jul 2015 #128

If the shoe fits Aerows Jul 2015 #65

And our positive campaigning thing was going so well! Aw shucks. The leopard shows its spots. DanTex Jul 2015 #66

My country can do better than this. Aerows Jul 2015 #68

Seems you would prefer a "positive" campaign over an honest campaign. We must throw off the yoke rhett o rick Jul 2015 #131

An honest campaign begins with the recognition that Bernie will lose to the GOP. DanTex Jul 2015 #132

On a liberal message board I wouldn't expect to find so many that think they should be telling rhett o rick Jul 2015 #133

Aha. So you ignore the fact that Bernie can't win. Which means you don't want a factual discussion DanTex Jul 2015 #134

You clearly don't know the definition of the word "fact". "Bernie can't win" doesn't meet the rhett o rick Jul 2015 #135

I find it very curious. Why stick with a candidate with her baggage? She clearly favors the rhett o rick Jul 2015 #129

No they don't. Do you have some substance to that incorrect claim? George II Jul 2015 #95

Of course it seems reasonable to you, you are hardcore pro-gun. DanTex Jul 2015 #45

well, nobody's perfect i guess. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #47

Like I said, I went over this at length in another post. DanTex Jul 2015 #52

don't worry, i'll rec it for you. Scootaloo Jul 2015 #26

Thanks Aerows Jul 2015 #67

You win the prize. "I was about to rec this" but.... LOL. Who do you think you are fooling?? nm rhett o rick Jul 2015 #59
