And in that vein how can a lawmaker oppose foreign intervention and continue to vote for appropriation bills that fund foreign wars?

Thank you in advance.

The tripe! [View all] cyberswede Sep 2015 OP

This is hilarious. Talking about tripe, and then posting misleading/false smears against Hillary. DanTex Sep 2015 #1

What issues would you like to talk about, in my thread about issues? cyberswede Sep 2015 #2

On all major issues Clinton and Bernie have similar positions. DanTex Sep 2015 #5

The chart is to stimulate discussion. cyberswede Sep 2015 #8

Hmm, "stimulate" discussion with misleading and false information. An interesting strategy. DanTex Sep 2015 #10

What are your feelings on college tuition? cyberswede Sep 2015 #17

How do you feel about legal immunity for gun manufacturers? DanTex Sep 2015 #19

For it when the gun manufacturer made a working product and sold it to a licensed distributor. Ed Suspicious Sep 2015 #23

Yeah, Bernie gets the NRA vote for sure. DanTex Sep 2015 #25

Here's the problem with the gun industry immunity bill. DanTex Sep 2015 #38

Except he's pro gun control and is rated D- by the NRA. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #29

He voted for the NRA's top legislative priority, which was legal immunity for the gun industry. DanTex Sep 2015 #32

Bernie is the progressive in the race, Hillary even calls herself moderate. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #40

Not when it comes to guns. DanTex Sep 2015 #41

He is pro gun control and that's good enough for me. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #42

Fair enough. And I'm with you, both Hillary and Bernie have great platforms, DanTex Sep 2015 #45

You didn't answer any of the questions. NealK Sep 2015 #65

I strongly disagree with legal immunity for gun manufacturers. cyberswede Sep 2015 #26

One thing I like about free college tuition cyberswede Sep 2015 #44

That is a good point. DanTex Sep 2015 #52
