Calling Bernie a racist and as bad as Henry Fucking Kissinger is stupid beyond belief

Sick shit. Period.

I refuse to let these ***** people influence whether or not I vote for Clinton, but I damn well will express my disgust and contempt.

Hillary will be the nominee. Grab a clue and let it go.

Policy positions so of course you falsely accuse Bernie. Typical and predictable.

He has a great voting record on minority rights and issues. I understand that you prefer Hillary. I don't understand not trusting Bernie on these issues. There is literally nothing in his history that one can rationally claim gives pause.

I truly wish we did. In a country this size we should have at least a dove, if not an ought right pacifist running for President. None of the contenders this year fit that bill. It's sad that we consider Sanders a dove simply because he would have only bombed tens if not hundreds of thousands, not more.

This is not a shot on Sanders it is respect for him. While he is very deceptive in this area he is one of the best. But a dove he is not.

Sanders is a career politician who has put little effective effort into fighting for equality over the last couple of decades. His lack of accomplishments and lack of ability to move conversation in that area is being reflected in the vote.

Sanders has been an excellent representative for an overwhelming majority of his constituency.

Then again I'm not making up schoolyard names for candidates in every one of my posts.

SCHIP alone is more than Sanders ever did and Clinton wasn't even in the body voting on it. Notice where Sanders was standing in the photo made famous by Sanders supporters themselves. He was standing behind the leader. Clinton.

Sanders has been an excellent representative for his constituency in Vermont.

It does not speak well for a candidate or a candidate's supporters. In fact, Clinton's supporters have done far more harm than good.
