she used in 2008 against Obama.

For the record, I am proud that I voted for him twice. I do not agree with everything he has done, but I think he has been a great President and was the right President to get us out of the mess Dubya left.

But this isn't about that.

It's part of their concerted effort to derail every truth posted about Hillary.

Not very progressive though if you use Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren as a barometer

Don't confuse her with some of the newbies who have been attacking Obama, Dem party and even my fellow Sanders supporters who LIKE the Dem party and Obama.

Seems there has been too much confusion lately, and its best to remember who our longtime members are and why they deserve our grace and camaraderie even when we are at odds during primaries. We've been through this before, haven't we?

It's as if this primary race has erased some people's memories of the many shared comments, causes, and commitments we experienced together.

I will speak up for ANY of us, Buzz. Too many are being hit with flying elbows here.

Anyone who posts that kind of intentionally polarizing material can expect the worst.

Moving past some of this vitriolic stuff is usually the better path.

I have been trying to temper some of the most vitriolic postings from both sides, but, it is getting harder. Heck…I've been banned from both groups for doing so. Me and my evil troll-like request for accuracy. ; )

Their lame attempts at triangulation will not work with this swing state voter. I still hold our president in high regard, unlike the majority of Bernouts on this forum.

Only this time she took the opposite side. Although recently the Clinton's true insensitivity on race has been reappearing. I suppose since they got the black vote lined up, now they need to work on getting the redneck votes.
