80. You are just itching to call people liars.

Seriously, take your abuse somewhere else.

I remember your screen name to be one of the first Sanders supporters to be outright abusive to me. My husband remembers it, too. This was before I even posted much about Hillary, but I apparently rec'd some threads because you said you looked them up and then threatened me that you were going to keep your eye on me. That pissed my husband off BIG TIME.

I used to tell him about all the links and current news here, but since the big switch from Warren to Sanders there is this...... irrationality.

OBVIOUSLY, Bernie hasn't run for President before. That was my point, which sailed over your head. Makes me wonder what else you've missed along the way about "truth". So you call me a liar over a point that YOU missed. I think I see your problem...

Voting for the IWR and then saying you hadn't read it. Live and Learn Dec 2015 #8

Voting to give Cheney and Bush a blank check to invade any country they please BlueCaliDem Dec 2015 #56

you mean voting to fund the TROOPS that bush and hillary already sent to war. restorefreedom Dec 2015 #72

No--a continuing resolution would pay those troops at the last year's level without an 'up' vote on MADem Jan 2016 #156

Defunding the war would be quite simple. okasha Jan 2016 #207

You don't even have to do that--just do what always is done when the budget isn't resolved... MADem Jan 2016 #208

They keep trotting it out okasha Jan 2016 #211

I know--and the whole "drone attitude" is a new look, too. MADem Jan 2016 #215

a funding vote and a aumf vote are not the same restorefreedom Jan 2016 #212

He voted against the war when he knew his vote would not matter even slightly. MADem Jan 2016 #214

agree to disagree, although i am not particularly a fan restorefreedom Jan 2016 #216

THAT is one that he and his supporters don't want mentioned. George II Jan 2016 #132

That he voted to support my brother after Hillary voted to send him to Iraq? beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #134

Yes, he always was. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #202

You mean he voted to keep the troops fed, clothed and protected. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #135

A continuing resolution does that--no need to vote for more war. MADem Jan 2016 #157

Lol! Nice try. Bernie didn't vote for "more war" in Iraq. There, fixed that for you. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #158

Yes, he did--every time he voted for a Defense Authorization, he voted for "more war." MADem Jan 2016 #161

Bernie voted against the Iraq war, no amount of spin from Camp Weathervane can change that fact. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #163

No, thanks. I don't care for snake oil and quackery. Skidmore Jan 2016 #171

Then you're voting for the wrong candidate. "Cut it out" isn't magic juju, it didn't work. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #172

I'm voting for the candidate of my choosing and for Skidmore Jan 2016 #173

If you don't want to hear opinions from other people don't respond to them. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #174

I guess that cuts both ways. Skidmore Jan 2016 #177

Except I wasn't the one who said "if I want your opinion on my choice, I'll ask for it" beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #179

When you post foolishness, expect Skidmore Jan 2016 #181

You were responding to an opinion. And you should really try that Bern cream. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #182

Frankly, I hear Skidmore Jan 2016 #183

I was going to suggest you use it for that but you went there first. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #184

See, that Bern cream is not so effective after all. Skidmore Jan 2016 #185

On the contrary, it worked exactly as advertised. ;) beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #186

Like any Skidmore Jan 2016 #187

Keep using that cream, Skidmore. Or learn to enjoy the bern. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #196

Yup, childish. Skidmore Jan 2016 #197

Just stooping to your level, Skidmore, and responding in kind. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #200

You want to hang on to that, I think--you'll need it for the searing you'll be feeling MADem Jan 2016 #190

Aw more hurt. Feel better. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #192

You're the one with the supply of soothing creams and childish cartoons--not me! MADem Jan 2016 #195

Well with all the hurt around here someone had to do something. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #199

You're the one repeatedly using the "hurt" word. I think you might want to introspect! MADem Jan 2016 #204

Sanders joined the party in time. Clinton was unfashionably late. eom Betty Karlson Dec 2015 #89

Yeah, but difference is, she was never considered by anyone as a diehard liberal. He was. BlueCaliDem Dec 2015 #91

Well, if Clinton never was a diehard liberal, why should I want her to be nominated as Betty Karlson Dec 2015 #94

Maybe because she's the most qualified candidate? Or maybe because she's running for president BlueCaliDem Dec 2015 #96

She is definitely not the most qualified candidate: Betty Karlson Jan 2016 #122

You're in the minority if you believe that. BlueCaliDem Jan 2016 #144
