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

The CEOs only get money when they leave because of contracts yeoman6987 Sep 2015 #105

Just stop it Dan. TM99 Sep 2015 #62

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

If only you would take direction Dan. TM99 Sep 2015 #66

The copyright just expired on that 20 yr old tired joke. oasis Sep 2015 #138

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

Isn't 'nilla on vacation? SMC22307 Sep 2015 #136

"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

Is that the new Hillary argument against Sanders and Biden jfern Sep 2015 #124

How did you come to that assumption? Did I mention Biden at all??????? George II Sep 2015 #127

What a terrible OP. Juicy_Bellows Sep 2015 #77

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

Yet again the facts are not on your side. DanTex Sep 2015 #91

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

Post the polls then. HooptieWagon Sep 2015 #97
