Bernie Just Needs to Say This Regarding the 2016 Repeal Bill: "I Wrote The Damn Bill!" TomCADem Aug 2019 #28

That would be a lie. BS didn't write the bill. Its sponsor - Sen Blumenthal - wrote the bill. lapucelle Aug 2019 #37

Not even an original co-sponsor. George II Aug 2019 #43

Why does he need to say that? It certainly isn't true..... George II Aug 2019 #41

No evidence that it was set up in advance. thesquanderer Aug 2019 #52

He sent out a mass email shortly after the debate, selling "I wrote the damn bill".... George II Aug 2019 #53

So? How is that a response to anything I wrote? thesquanderer Aug 2019 #54

I'm glad Bernie was pulled to the Left on this issue. betsuni Aug 2019 #31

You can't post anything positive about Bernie here without someone slamming him. nt thesquanderer Aug 2019 #21

Yes. So what? thesquanderer Aug 2019 #26

We're in the midst of a campaign for the Democratic nomination for President.... George II Aug 2019 #29

I don't think anyone seriously thinks that a President Sanders would kowtow to the NRA. thesquanderer Aug 2019 #36

BS is the only person running who voted for the PLCAA. Repealing in was part of our 2016 platform lapucelle Aug 2019 #33

Changing a position is not the same as having it both ways. thesquanderer Aug 2019 #38

The OP is claiming that BS is leading on this issue as if Democrats and/or the field lapucelle Aug 2019 #42

I agree that the OP and others seem to be stretching Sanders' role in this. thesquanderer Aug 2019 #44

No one would be saying anything if it were not for the outrageous claims concerning BS lapucelle Aug 2019 #48

Joe Biden voted AGAINST the PLCAA. George II Aug 2019 #46

BS will have to explain his record at the next debate. lapucelle Aug 2019 #47

Bernie has nice hair ! stonecutter357 Aug 2019 #30

Guess who voted FOR that bill? George II Aug 2019 #11

That was Representative Bernaud crazytown Aug 2019 #17

I like your weathervane. betsuni Aug 2019 #19

I wonder why he voted for an NRA/corporatist "abomination of a corporate give away." betsuni Aug 2019 #18

Didn't he say his constituents wanted him to vote for the biill? lapucelle Aug 2019 #22

Maybe because Leahy doesn't think guns in Vermont are different from guns in Chicago or LA. George II Aug 2019 #24

Then I wonder why it's fine when he votes for "corporate give aways" because of constituents, betsuni Aug 2019 #25

What has Bernie done in 30 years that makes anyone think he will do anything. katmondoo Aug 2019 #35
