... but since you brought it up, HRCs Iraq war vote enabled that horrible act. She also voted for a bankruptcy bill that was for the benefit of the CC companies at the expense of the middle and working classes.

HRC wants for us to believe that she was deeply involved in policy as FLOTUS, but wants us to ignore Glass-Steagall repeal, welfare reform, zero-tolerance, etc, all of which she is on record supporting.

Sanders, on the other hand, has been RIGHT on issues of fundamental concern for the country: War, Wall Street, jobs, veterans, Patriot Act, and the middle class in particular: He also has been the most effective lawmaker in Congress...
