Weird attack post related to Daily KOS claims about Bernie and Jane.

I'm having a hard time teasing out the facts and details on this one: Claims that Jane Sanders is profiting from Sierra Blanca oversight board and that Bernie was part of the deal to put Vermont nuclear waste near a low income Latino West Texas neighborhood.

The Hillary group is getting all kinds of righteous over this claiming Bernie is a sham. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1107124800

I am not stirring the pot here. I believe in Bernie. But this is a bit strange to read even if it is from KOS.

Does anyone have a better take on it, please?

Please read my reply #22 for a very simple explanation.

There are nuclear experts available to fully explain the storage of mass and energy of radioactive sources. There is plenty of information in a chapter on Nuclear Chemistry in any high school chemistry book. Hopefully some will go to the library to read up before making statements that are not verbal.

and ignore the HC group. I have that group in the trash and many of her supporters out of my consciousness. I may take them out of jail once the election is over.

I had pointed out that Wellstone would spin in his grave to see the poster, a self proclaimed Wellstone progressive, supporting the ultimate war hawk.

On Sunday or Monday some story was posted here claiming, quote, "I've always been against (SHAFTA) NAFTA". Now how ignorant a statement is that? For it before she was against it? Give me a freakin break.

And Daily KOS is a Killary web site. Dropped my name from their e-mails several weeks ago. It's just plain "group speak". Just like in the movie THX1138.

The area in Texas was chosen for environmental reasons concerning groundwater levels and geology. States shared repositories (Vermont's share of the repository was about 10%).

To me, it makes more sense to go ahead and use an area that's already tainted than to foul a new pristine area. They pick areas that are sparsely populated and accessible by road and rail. The population density on the east coast pretty much rules out local storage. So they go out to the arid, desolate west. And they PAY FOR IT. My guess is that someone in Texas' state government actively went after this stuff.
