47. So Clinton lied?
Fri Feb 26, 2016, 06:14 PM
Feb 2016

Clinton lied in her book, her speech, and her Senate campaign? That's a rather startling admission from you.

It's mostly about pointing out the folly of his supporters arguments.

Why do you think I keep cutting-and-pasting the same post? There's some folly going on, but it ain't from the Sanders side.

So why should Sanders have voted against the Violence Against Women Act and the Assault Weapons Ban? Do you now support the NRA or something?
Good luck with that Ashley. BillZBubb Feb 2016 #1
Yet, Bernie is the one that voted for it, not Hillary MaggieD Feb 2016 #2
Why should Sanders have voted against the Violence Against Women Act jeff47 Feb 2016 #7
I guess because it was a vote FOR mass incarceration MaggieD Feb 2016 #10
So you support reducing penalties for domestic violence, and you support assault weapons? jeff47 Feb 2016 #11
He voted FOR mass incarcertation MaggieD Feb 2016 #15
No, he voted FOR the VAWA and AWB. Bill Clinton and the Republicans bundled those jeff47 Feb 2016 #23
You seem to think he didn't vote FOR mass incarceration MaggieD Feb 2016 #24

If that were true, you wouldn't keep replying. jeff47 Feb 2016 #28
Sure I would - it's important for people to know he voted FOR mass incarceration MaggieD Feb 2016 #34
And you're still dodging. jeff47 Feb 2016 #37
Not dodging at all - he voted for mass incarceration MaggieD Feb 2016 #40
There's questions in the post you keep refusing to read. jeff47 Feb 2016 #41
I think instead of voting for mass incarceration (if he was against that) MaggieD Feb 2016 #42
Which leads directly to the questions you keep refusing to answer. jeff47 Feb 2016 #43
I'm not the one attacking anyone about the bill he voted for MaggieD Feb 2016 #44
Actually, you are. You're attacking Sanders for the bill. jeff47 Feb 2016 #45
No, I'm really not MaggieD Feb 2016 #46

The desperation from the Hillary camp is just funny. libtodeath Feb 2016 #38
No, we know he didn't. But nice try. The Clintons and most AAs are now learning this history, are sabrina 1 Feb 2016 #32
Here it is right here.... MaggieD Feb 2016 #39
IOW, he decided which issue was important and which was not... brooklynite Feb 2016 #29
He decided it was not worth voting against VAWA and the AWB. jeff47 Feb 2016 #33
So you wanted him to vote FOR Domestic Violence?? Okay, if that's your position. But I'm glad sabrina 1 Feb 2016 #16
