In reply to the discussion: John McCain: Bernie Sanders, NOT Hillary Clinton, Has ‘Record of Advocacy’ For VETS [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)discussion on the issues. Thanks for that list of votes. She also played a pivotal role in getting votes for the awful Welfare Reform Act.
How many times can she say 'that was a mistake I have already apologized for it'?? So now they are resorting to desperate smears.
I think we need to focus on those smears like never before. They are all paid for by the Dark Money made possible by Citizens United. This issue of Money in Politics and what and who it buys, needs to hammered by Bernie's campaign, as often as possible.
And each time she attempts a smear such as her latest 'I'm a poor woman' attack, it should brought out into the light, her long record of voting for legislation that has so harmed so many women and chidren.
The smears shoulld USED to Bernie's advantage. It's not hard to do. And watch what happens WHEN we use her own participation in an attempted smear using her status as a woman? Her supporters become so angry it tells you that this is the way to handle it
We are supposed to do what Dems have done consistently in the past, see Kerry eg and the Swift Boaters, 'rise about them and move on'. No thank YOU.
