...if she happens to be HC. Great. What the heck are you doing on "Democratic Underground?" You do not belong here. We haven't even had our primaries yet and you make such a statement.

Highlight:

Bernie Sanders speaks up against golden parachute for failed Vermont college president. [View all] DanTex Sep 2015 OP

You are attacking Jane Sanders....so Bill Clinton's character is fair game? virtualobserver Sep 2015 #1

So why do you think Bernie didn't speak up about this? DanTex Sep 2015 #2

Hillary gets more from giving ONE SPEECH than Jane got from that severance package. virtualobserver Sep 2015 #11

LOL. For like a 15 minute speech! Golden parachute! This is classic Rove tactics. Bonobo Sep 2015 #28

Diversion. Hillary's speeches have nothing to do with the golden parachute. DanTex Sep 2015 #38

Hillary got a golden parachute from every speech.....they add up to millions virtualobserver Sep 2015 #43

A speaking fee is not a "golden parachute". It's a speaking fee. DanTex Sep 2015 #45

Typical of supporters of the elite- Corporations handing millions to Hillary is just peachy virtualobserver Sep 2015 #50

That's like pointing to LeBron James's pay to try to excuse Carly Fiorina. Like I said, diversion. DanTex Sep 2015 #51

Only one candidate has cashed in for big bucks- Hillary Clinton virtualobserver Sep 2015 #56

HRC has earned a lot of money by being, among other things, the most admired woman in the world DanTex Sep 2015 #59

how do you get rich by having people "admire" you virtualobserver Sep 2015 #60

Of course Clinton is incompetent. TM99 Sep 2015 #65

One way is to give paid speeches. It's continually perplexing that so many Bernistas DanTex Sep 2015 #76

How do Hillaroopians justify big dollar admiration from corporations? virtualobserver Sep 2015 #107

Nice rejoinder Babel_17 Sep 2015 #106

The most admired woman in the world? Wut? NealK Sep 2015 #146

Yup. DanTex Sep 2015 #148

Lol, I can't stop laughing! NealK Sep 2015 #149

Even Chelsea gets in on it. elehhhhna Sep 2015 #133

Simply "being paid" does not equal "overpaid." Ed Suspicious Sep 2015 #78

Good point. Being paid at market value for, say, giving a speech is not "overpaid". DanTex Sep 2015 #80

Plum appointments that pay -- how much? In what way were they "plum"? karynnj Sep 2015 #33

Thank you for posting so I didn't have to. Fawke Em Sep 2015 #34

In other words, the OP was accurate. She tried a risky leveraged play, she couldn't find the DanTex Sep 2015 #41

What other way can a small storefront college make the leap needed karynnj Sep 2015 #44

I've never managed either a college or a giant computer company. DanTex Sep 2015 #47

I live in Burlington karynnj Sep 2015 #53

And plenty of people in Burlington disagree with that assessment. DanTex Sep 2015 #55

Exactly how many people from Burlington have you actually met? karynnj Sep 2015 #69

Sir, yes, sir! Bernista orders received and acknowledged, sir! DanTex Sep 2015 #63

Evidently Hillary's supporters think the Clintons are Teflon-coated. djean111 Sep 2015 #3

I think a lot of anti-Hillary people feel the same way as you. No amount of facts DanTex Sep 2015 #5

Which facts do you mean? I get my facts by looking up peoples' records, djean111 Sep 2015 #13

What about Sander's lost years? Control-Z Sep 2015 #73

I don't need to. If you think there is something nefarious, figure it out for yourself. I d not djean111 Sep 2015 #75

Nefarious? Control-Z Sep 2015 #79

Oh, come on, you know you are hoping for nefarious. djean111 Sep 2015 #96

You're so far out in left field on this. Control-Z Sep 2015 #104

Maybe you should just drop his campaign a line and ask. It is so sweet of you to care! djean111 Sep 2015 #109

So you have no idea. Don't want to know. Control-Z Sep 2015 #125

Your divisive labelling is really banal TransitJohn Sep 2015 #144

So you are saying you will not support the democrat nominee pandr32 Sep 2015 #112

Oh good grief. The pledge-y thing has been resurrected. djean111 Sep 2015 #113

"so Bill Clinton's character is fair game?" NCTraveler Sep 2015 #4

not for me it hasn't been virtualobserver Sep 2015 #6

Just pointing out that his character is clearly fair game here. nt. NCTraveler Sep 2015 #7

should I begin attacking O'Malley's wife? virtualobserver Sep 2015 #20

LOL. I think that ship has already sailed. nt Cali_Democrat Sep 2015 #40

I think Bill Clinton always has been fair game on DU leftofcool Sep 2015 #52

only in the sense that Hillary claims that time on her resume virtualobserver Sep 2015 #57

Bil Clinton is, even to this day, called Mr. President. Ed Suspicious Sep 2015 #61

Well, compared to other Democratic former Presidents running around ... Babel_17 Sep 2015 #110

You know Dan, if you want to post TM99 Sep 2015 #8

I wonder why Bernie didn't say anything? What's your opinion? DanTex Sep 2015 #10

I don't respond to bullshit TM99 Sep 2015 #12

Yeah I didn't think you'd have an answer. DanTex Sep 2015 #14

Did you enjoy the conversation TM99 Sep 2015 #15

Still no answer. Diversion via personal attack. The usual stuff. DanTex Sep 2015 #16

Damn Dan you are freaking funny. TM99 Sep 2015 #17

Still no answer. How do you feel about golden parachutes in general? DanTex Sep 2015 #18

Start a topic with that question TM99 Sep 2015 #22

Why should we respond when corporations pay Hillary more per speech... virtualobserver Sep 2015 #23

Because he's a politician just like everyone else running? n/t seaglass Sep 2015 #9

They play in a different club. NCTraveler Sep 2015 #19

No the Sanders play by the same rules as most people Armstead Sep 2015 #25

Golden Parachute for a couple hundred thousand. NCTraveler Sep 2015 #27

If you are deterined to believe that, nothing will change your mind Armstead Sep 2015 #29

I'm liking how talk of the "real world" starts entering the dialogue when it's to Bernie's benefit. R B Garr Sep 2015 #36

LOL at your inane stereotypes all you want. (Yawn) Armstead Sep 2015 #39

Don't have a cow. I'm just noting the hypocrisy. Things like "reality" and "real world" R B Garr Sep 2015 #141

Yes, that is funny. Bernie lives in the "real world", but every little misstep that Hillary makes DanTex Sep 2015 #42

Exactly, it's only the "real world" if it benefits Bernie. R B Garr Sep 2015 #142

Sevrance packages are not the same as Golden Parachutes Armstead Sep 2015 #21

"Severance package" is the business term, but yes, they are the same. DanTex Sep 2015 #24

Whatever. the Daily Caller calls it evil, so I guess this disqualified Sanders Armstead Sep 2015 #26

I find it interesting that the OP is focused TM99 Sep 2015 #31

This is funny from you considering your purity standards in relation to the Clintons R B Garr Sep 2015 #35

There is dirty ... TheFarS1de Sep 2015 #123

I have to lol at the morality police. I thought the right wingers were the morality police. R B Garr Sep 2015 #140

And do let us know your moral views on Sanders' illegitimate son. R B Garr Sep 2015 #145

Daily caller, what? I'm just asking why Sanders wouldn't speak out about this. DanTex Sep 2015 #37

There is a difference, and you know it. zalinda Sep 2015 #67

Technically, Carly Fiorina's parachute was also "severance pay". DanTex Sep 2015 #68

No, it wasn't zalinda Sep 2015 #70

Wrong. DanTex Sep 2015 #71

$200,000 from a college on the verge of bankruptcy might as well have been $millions. George II Sep 2015 #30

For a supporter of te "pragmatic" candidate, you have a double standard Armstead Sep 2015 #32

Since your OP is as clear as mud, can you provide us a link? nt raccoon Sep 2015 #46

Here's one. DanTex Sep 2015 #48

That was about 4 years ago that she was given that $200K, and since that time Sanders... George II Sep 2015 #111

200k is a golden parachute? restorefreedom Sep 2015 #81

Still pushing that failed meme, eh Dan? TM99 Sep 2015 #92

It's a simple fact verified by polls. People can choose to delude themselves, of course. DanTex Sep 2015 #93

Nope, TM99 Sep 2015 #95

It's very easy to read the polls. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean nobody else can. DanTex Sep 2015 #98

Just because you make errors in reading them TM99 Sep 2015 #101

Well, the polls are there for everyone to see. The true believers won't be swayed by facts, but DanTex Sep 2015 #102

You are definitely right there Dan. TM99 Sep 2015 #103
