173. Bernie has said he will REDUCE the use of drones and be more selective in their use
Tue Sep 15, 2015, 08:29 PM
Sep 2015

Do tell, what is Hillary's position on the use of drones? Wait, I'll help you:

"As Secretary of State and now as a presidential hopeful, Clinton has defended the government’s use of drone strikes, calling them “one of the most effective and controversial elements of the Obama Administration’s strategy against al Qaeda and like-minded terrorists” in her book, Hard Choices. She added that “dozens of senior terrorists had been taken off the battlefield by drones.”"

Man, this "Bernie is a hawk, vote for...Hillary" has to be one of the dumbest logic fails I've ever seen.
