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

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
