Highlight:

Biden wanted to freeze the federal budget. That equates to cutting SS and Medicare benefits. [View all] HerbChestnut Jan 2020 OP

Quoting a five year old article about Ben Carson? sweetloukillbot Jan 2020 #1

Yeah HerbChestnut Jan 2020 #2

I think the bigger point might be that -- NEVER HAPPENED (nt) stopdiggin Jan 2020 #10

And it's a damn good thing that never happened, despite Joe's best efforts. HerbChestnut Jan 2020 #12

I wonder if Sanders is proud of his campaign...I expect this will backfire...and Biden will be up Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #27

It's not lying to point out Biden's spotty record on Social Security. HerbChestnut Jan 2020 #32

Ted Kennedy had 89% so...who cares...and it is a lie when you change the meaning of a video...but Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #37

Taking a video out of context is not the same as 'doctoring' it. HerbChestnut Jan 2020 #46

They created a lie by doctoring the video...cut parts of it...liars (Sirota) gotta lie...I guess... Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #60

Hopefully no Democratic candidate now advocates for budget freezes. David__77 Jan 2020 #3

That information is currently freely available, if one really wants to know. nt fleabiscuit Jan 2020 #18

You don't have to hope...could actually look up their positions rather ...spoiler, no one does... Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #38

The desperation is showing Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #4

Agree. The attacks are getting old. 33taw Jan 2020 #5

They are more than old enough... kind of reminded me of someone. Irony. fleabiscuit Jan 2020 #19

Attacks on social security are getting old. Like 30 years old. Hassin Bin Sober Jan 2020 #23

Biden did not attack Social Security. 33taw Jan 2020 #30

yup whistler162 Jan 2020 #25

Pretty much...if we can weather this toss Trump out...Sanders won't be running again so this is Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #28

So many threads on this fake news today NYMinute Jan 2020 #6

Sign stealing in baseball is nothing new. nt fleabiscuit Jan 2020 #20

True, just like stealin Bernie's progressive policy positions...rather have Bern, the true original! InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2020 #51

True, true... fleabiscuit Jan 2020 #69

Frozen does not seem to equal cut. My government pension was frozen. Different from cut. 33taw Jan 2020 #34

Right, the doctored video...the one that is a pack of lies...put out by Sirota...yeah that one. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #39

Biden rips Sanders campaign for Social Security attacks Sloumeau Jan 2020 #22

Just freezing the entire budget is not smart. No idea why anyone would get behind this. redqueen Jan 2020 #24

Everyone had to pretend to be open to the idea...we were even further to the right than now. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #29

Who created the C-SPAN clip (dated January 7, 2020) that's used in the OP? lapucelle Jan 2020 #31

That politifact article was about one specific video clip. HerbChestnut Jan 2020 #33

The Politifact article was about something Biden said that was taken completely out of context lapucelle Jan 2020 #44
