John McCain: Bernie Sanders, NOT Hillary Clinton, Has ‘Record of Advocacy’ For VETS [View all] Segami Oct 2015 OP

Well, she's interested.... daleanime Oct 2015 #1

Like McCain isn't? MADem Oct 2015 #9

McCain is running again? daleanime Oct 2015 #12

Apparently he's giving "guidance" to the Democratic Party that some find valuable. MADem Oct 2015 #91

But taking advice from Lindsey Graham is better Mnpaul Oct 2015 #208

Point me to the HRC DU thread that boasts about Lindsey's comments and calls them an "endorsement." MADem Oct 2015 #209

The endorsement crap is a lame smear from Hillary supporters Mnpaul Oct 2015 #210

Unnnnh....this thread, touting McCain's words, was NOT started by "Hillary supporters." MADem Oct 2015 #212

I'm still waiting for the McCain endorsement Mnpaul Oct 2015 #213

The subject line of post #1 reads Mnpaul Oct 2015 #223

Post ZERO, then--the thread starting post. I'm making complete sense. MADem Oct 2015 #224

Yeah, we know the facts aren't on your side Mnpaul Oct 2015 #226

They are, though--and your tactics in this exchange demonstrate MADem Oct 2015 #228

Your tactics in this exchange Mnpaul Oct 2015 #231

I've provided links and cites. MADem Oct 2015 #232

I provided a list of actual bills authored Mnpaul Oct 2015 #234

So did I. And your video had nothing to do with the topic. MADem Oct 2015 #235

You post a link to 417 bills Mnpaul Oct 2015 #236

Gee, too many for you to read? Now you really DO want me to do your homework for you. MADem Oct 2015 #237

You were the one touting Hillary working with Graham Mnpaul Oct 2015 #238

No, I wasn't. MADem Oct 2015 #239

You posted it Mnpaul Oct 2015 #240

Really? You're saying I started a thread telling everybody that they should vote for Clinton MADem Nov 2015 #243

You still don't get it Mnpaul Nov 2015 #244

If you don't need McCain's approval, then why is a member of your crew starting a thread MADem Nov 2015 #245

More manufactured outrage Mnpaul Nov 2015 #246

There is no "outrage" so not sure how it can be "manufactured." MADem Nov 2015 #247

You obviously don't point out hypocrisy Mnpaul Nov 2015 #248

So....is the "Republicans would never work with Sanders" talking point dead? jeff47 Oct 2015 #8

They'll "work with him" until they toss him over the side in the general election! MADem Oct 2015 #10

You have an odd definition of "weakest" jeff47 Oct 2015 #13

If the GOP loves someone competing for the Democratic nomination, that's "weakest." MADem Oct 2015 #94

Again, if that is true, why is Sanders doing better in head-to-head polls? (nt) jeff47 Oct 2015 #95

Gee, isn't it your crew that discounts any polls you don't like? MADem Oct 2015 #104

And isn't it your crew that actually believes polls? jeff47 Oct 2015 #105

Well, you're living by the polls--you'd better be prepared to die by them..... MADem Oct 2015 #108

So polls don't mean anything now? jeff47 Oct 2015 #148

Why are you touting an article from Oct 5? That's a LIFETIME ago. MADem Oct 2015 #165

Reading. Try it sometime. jeff47 Oct 2015 #167

Personal insult--not a response to my question--the survey was from SEP, the article from OCT 5. MADem Oct 2015 #169

Jeff, they just want someone that really works on the republican side, doncha know? marym625 Oct 2015 #112

It's the Sanders supporters who brought "McCain HEARTS Sanders" into the mix, here. MADem Oct 2015 #116

Ah ha....and there it is!! No longer about the topic, now you're railing about ME. MADem Oct 2015 #123

there you go again, changing the subject, twisting the OP, marym625 Oct 2015 #126

Ha ha ha!! The subject is McCain, and how he's "endorsing" Sanders... MADem Oct 2015 #127

I thought you hated the little laughing guy? marym625 Oct 2015 #128

I think he's like salt--best used SPARINGLY! MADem Oct 2015 #131

I watched part of the republican debate last night. marym625 Oct 2015 #152

Republicans want.... daleanime Oct 2015 #14

They want Sanders....so they can beat him like a rented mule. MADem Oct 2015 #100
