Bernie Sanders just proved he is no better than Republicans

[liberal N proud]

As if all the unqualified comment wasn't enough and his attempts to claim the high road while attacking Hillary, he topped the week off by mixing religion with politics.

I left church and have not returned over this and I sure as hell will not support a candidate who dose this.

1. I frankly don't see how a Jewish candidate for president accepting an invitation to speak at

a Catholic meeting is mixing politics with religion.
The subject of the meeting is not religious, but a secular one concerning economics and human conditions.
This thread is a grand example of poutrage if I've ever seen one.

2. He making a play for the Catholic vote.

Trying to make it look like the Vatican is endorsing Bernie Sanders.

3. I'm sure Catholics would vote for Bernie because he gives a speech by invitation

Give me a break!

[liberal N proud]

4. You really think it's not a political stunt?

No breaks!

6. BS supporter.. "Jeffrey Sachs admits he "helped the Vatican reach out to Sanders."

Sachs has an admirable record, no doubt about it. But he is also an advisor (paid? I don't know) to Sanders, and has been vituperative in his denunciations of Hillary Clinton. I hope he will be called upon to clarify his role in this affair more precisely. Sanders is the first one to rail against any perceived lack of transparency, covert quid pro quos with powerful organizations, and appearances of undue influence. If one of his (paid?) advisors, who is also a known insider at the Pontifical Academy and has organized conferences for them in the past, finagles an invitation to a conference, and then Sanders tries to spin it as a moving honor from the pope, that is pretty low.

5. One step further. Of course Clinton not responsible for Iraq deaths, that was just a tit for tat.

7. Nor the reason ISIS exists!

As Sanders' mouthpiece Weaver suggests...
Which is what Trump and the rest of the RW assholes have been saying...
