Is anyone beginning to notice the trend with Sanders? [View all] Renew Deal Dec 2015 OP

Such as...? Scootaloo Dec 2015 #1

Wanting more debates. Renew Deal Dec 2015 #4

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

+1 tecelote Jan 2016 #201

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

The childish "Camp Weathervane" meme again? When that gets rolled out, we MADem Jan 2016 #164

Awww, you felt the Bern? Here you go: beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #166

Oh, sweet Jesu. Skidmore Jan 2016 #167

It's supposed to make him feel better. There's plenty for you too, help yourself! beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #170

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

FEEL THAT BERN! beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #188

*snort* Skidmore Jan 2016 #189

I change my responses to suit the maturity of my audience. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #191

I doubt that. Skidmore Jan 2016 #193

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

Saying they did nothing wrong with emails and then saying it was a mistake. Live and Learn Dec 2015 #9

Oops. Not Hillary, either. BlueCaliDem Dec 2015 #57

Claiming to be for the TPP and then against it? Live and Learn Dec 2015 #10

Nope. He does what union bosses tell him...like a good lackey. BlueCaliDem Dec 2015 #64

What does the DEM in your Du name stand for? guillaumeb Dec 2015 #77

I really could care less what YOUR standards are to judge what is or what isn't GOP. I've been here BlueCaliDem Dec 2015 #99

Well Union bashing is a Republican thing Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #106

In 2006, Bernie Sanders said he preferred "civil unions for Vermont." MADem Jan 2016 #159

You're lecturing a gay man on the history of gay rights? beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #165

I am not "lecturing" anyone--I leave that to you. MADem Jan 2016 #206

Good job. Lots of great points in that post. And... George II Jan 2016 #143

Again, your argument about the TPP supports MY contention. guillaumeb Jan 2016 #148

Thank you for the fact based research. nt kristopher Jan 2016 #168

You are welcome, and thank you for noticing. guillaumeb Jan 2016 #176

No. It doesn't. But keep trying. It isn't the first time I've had to correct you. BlueCaliDem Jan 2016 #210

Rather than dismiss the subthread, perhaps you need better sources. guillaumeb Jan 2016 #224

Thanks for these details, BlueCaliDem. Happy New Year. n/t freshwest Jan 2016 #150

Union bosses? And Senator Sanders is their lackey? Wow. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #131

He voted against the Brady Bill (for whatever reason he concocts now) and in favor of protecting.... George II Jan 2016 #138

He voted for the bill because it included the Violence Against Women Act and a ban on assault weapons. beam me up scottie Jan 2016 #140

All great responses from you in this thread. Betty Karlson Dec 2015 #45

T poster you're responding to is DEAD WRONG. BlueCaliDem Dec 2015 #59

I am niether dead, nor wrong. Your posts, on the otherhand, are simply ridiculous. nt Live and Learn Dec 2015 #87

You consider my posts ridiculous only because they disprove yours and unmask you for BlueCaliDem Dec 2015 #92

Now, that is a personal attack. You really should delete it. nt Live and Learn Jan 2016 #111

Nope. BlueCaliDem Jan 2016 #117

Don't want to play by the rules, just like your candidte, huh? nt Live and Learn Jan 2016 #119

He was for gay rights but not for gay marriage until 2009. BlueCaliDem Dec 2015 #52

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

A leader needs the ability to listen to the issues at hand and make a decisions. Thinkingabout Jan 2016 #147

My thoughts. PyaarRevolution Jan 2016 #121

I think the biggest point to take from this OP and discussion is that saying one thing... George II Jan 2016 #133

Exactly! No politician is perfect, and yes, Sanders *is* a politician first and foremost, BlueCaliDem Jan 2016 #146

You mean saying no one cares and acknowledging there is an investigation. Kalidurga Dec 2015 #13

I believe he said the reason... cannabis_flower Dec 2015 #34

In contrast Kalidurga Dec 2015 #84

Ah, okay Scootaloo Dec 2015 #19

Bernie stated publicly that he wasn't against the investigation, just the corporate media's Uncle Joe Dec 2015 #20

I think you meant Hillary. And yes, she does tend to do a lot of flip flops. nt Live and Learn Dec 2015 #2
