No. I just want us to all have the same facts. No halos. Just people with flaws,all of them and us. bravenak Nov 2015 #44

So, Hillary would use other peoples kids as Meat Shields in foreign wars NorthCarolina Nov 2015 #131

Bernie has not ruled out boots on the ground. Where did he say never? bravenak Nov 2015 #169

He didn't, but I think it's safe to say he would be far FAR more hesitant than Hillary. eom NorthCarolina Nov 2015 #194

Bernie has said he would not use war as a first resort, but only as the last. Telling the whole Cal33 Nov 2015 #211

Well, I am. I expect to be on the streets against some of his foreign policy initiatives eridani Nov 2015 #75

Yes he does. He voted against the Iraq War eridani Nov 2015 #10

My state IS that RED state. bravenak Nov 2015 #28

It's Clinton that has no coattails. Show me where the alienated 63% are organizing-- eridani Nov 2015 #68

Sanders has no support as far as coalitions. bravenak Nov 2015 #86

Nobody right now in my state is interested in self-organizing for Clinton eridani Nov 2015 #93

I go to school with 'the young ones' right now. bravenak Nov 2015 #100

You prefer Clinton on the War on Some Drugs? Jezus H Keerist on a raft! eridani Nov 2015 #114

Same shit different year pinebox Nov 2015 #14

So is Bernie. Did you see him at the debate? What WAS he TALKING about?!?! bravenak Nov 2015 #31

What was he talking about? Simple. pinebox Nov 2015 #144

I meant what was he talking about on Foreign policy. He answered questions not asked. bravenak Nov 2015 #170

Is this before ar after she was Secretary of State? Even in 2007-2008 Clinton was better than Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #34

Yet she voted for the Iraq War. More experienced? maybe (arguable). Poor Judgement? definitely n/t JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #60

I was responding to post #14 Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #67

In 2007 she was weak on foreign policy because of a screwup on such a big vote. JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #69

I was responding to post #14 was the information supplied in 2007-2008 before she became Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #72

I'm sorry, I don't follow at all, since the vote on Iraq had already occurred. But have a nice night JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #74

And he voted for the war in Afghanistan, ohheckyeah Nov 2015 #94

You're really equating Afghanistan and Iraq? beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #104

It's a war, isn't it? ohheckyeah Nov 2015 #117

Oh the irony. A HC supporter complaining about Bernie's war votes! beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #120

The poster made a valid point about Sanders voting for Afgan war and you digress. Rove would be riversedge Nov 2015 #134

No the poster broke my irony meter. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #136

Just more snark-nothing of substance. riversedge Nov 2015 #139

Just pointing out the absurdity. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #142

My candidate? I don't ohheckyeah Nov 2015 #177

truth hurts pinebox Nov 2015 #184

LOL ohheckyeah Nov 2015 #187

Because she's for endless war and he isn't eridani Nov 2015 #71

He said he would take military action and use drones, doesn't sound like Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #78

Starting more wars is something to expect from Clinton eridani Nov 2015 #82

Yes I see many post about Clinton starting wars and then I hear Sanders say he will, Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #149

Meanwhile pinebox Nov 2015 #147

Better than killing people - 840high Nov 2015 #20

Like with the drones Bernie plans on continuing? bravenak Nov 2015 #21

His voting on the Brady Bill amd reluctance to move away fron the NRA and we have had more Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #37

"No foreign policy experience" is a lot better than being the ultimate hawk like Hillary jfern Nov 2015 #26

Great article. nt. polly7 Nov 2015 #30

They both approve of drones, giving bombs to Netanyahu... bravenak Nov 2015 #32

You really don't see a difference? jfern Nov 2015 #33

I am pro palestinian. bravenak Nov 2015 #39

Well, yes almost every politician takes the side of Israel jfern Nov 2015 #47

I watched Bernie yell at a constituent over it. Samesies. bravenak Nov 2015 #48

No, it's not samsies jfern Nov 2015 #49

Barely. bravenak Nov 2015 #52

No, not at all barely. See this post and the corresponding OP jfern Nov 2015 #212

I think voting against the Iraw War Resolution is excellent foreign policy experience. How about .. Scuba Nov 2015 #132

Well he voted for war before. Nothing preventing him from it again. bravenak Nov 2015 #174

Sanders did not let that panic cloud his judgement. Qutzupalotl Nov 2015 #188

How so? He voted for Afganistan. Nobody can win that. Ask Russia. Not thinking clearly obviously.nt bravenak Nov 2015 #189

He saw through Rumsfeld's lies on Iraq and did his homework. Clinton didn't. Qutzupalotl Nov 2015 #193

Hillary's "foreign policy experience" is the biggest reason she lost my vote Martin Eden Nov 2015 #172

Ok. bravenak Nov 2015 #173

I'll take that as an agreement with my post ... Martin Eden Nov 2015 #175

She has that vote. He had his vote for mass incarceration. bravenak Nov 2015 #182

Specifically, which "mass incarceration" vote are you referring to? Martin Eden Nov 2015 #190

Omnibus crime bill. Look it up. Good and bad in it. A compromise. bravenak Nov 2015 #192

Omnibus Crime Bill does not remotely compare with the IWR vote. Martin Eden Nov 2015 #195

For black folks it DOES COMPARE. Millions of us in jail. For bullshit. It compares. bravenak Nov 2015 #196

Promoted by and signed into law by Bill Clinton Martin Eden Nov 2015 #199

Not voting for Bill. But I know Bernie would have signed it. He voted for it. bravenak Nov 2015 #200

"Bernie probably is better on it. But he is too depressing." Martin Eden Nov 2015 #201

He is pessimistic and yells too much. bravenak Nov 2015 #202

Seriously? Martin Eden Nov 2015 #203

I have done the IWR to death. bravenak Nov 2015 #204

In your opinion then, the invasion of Iraq was a wise move. Martin Eden Nov 2015 #205

It was a mistake. As was the invasion of Afganistan. One of which Bernie voted for. See? bravenak Nov 2015 #206

No comparison, as I previously explained in detail. Martin Eden Nov 2015 #207

He has no foreign policy experience. Same thing was said about Obama.. frylock Nov 2015 #180

No picture of police beating blacks for me today? That was so kind of you last time. bravenak Nov 2015 #181

I made my point. frylock Nov 2015 #185

There was no point. Only an attempt to assault a black woman with horrible images of HER HISTORY. bravenak Nov 2015 #186

He has been some 20+ years in both the House and the Senate. How can he help but know Cal33 Nov 2015 #210

While a certain poster may ask, "Why attack Sanders, Hillary is winning?" PatrickforO Nov 2015 #4

Sanders has voted more than once for military action and has stated recently Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #40

Hillary is for every war. jfern Nov 2015 #77

Why would we? Dr Hobbitstein Nov 2015 #6

One of the new and interesting lines of attack is that Bernie is now a pure socialist Hydra Nov 2015 #9

He self-identifies as a Democratic Socialist. Look up what that means. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #112

Lol Hydra Nov 2015 #143

Well, America overwhelmingly rejects socialism. By vast numbers. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #162

America overwhelmingly rejects Clinton. "That's a fact." Dawgs Nov 2015 #167

Yeah, right. That's why Clinton crushes Sanders in Georgia - 73% to his 18% in the latest BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #168
