Bernie Will Ban Private Prisons. Hillary Accepted $133,246 From Prison Lobbyists

Bernie Sanders has never taken money from prison lobbyists. Never. Why would politicians accept money from interests they oppose?
Bernie's goal is to ban private prisons. Hillary has a similar goal, but takes money from prison lobbyists. Does this make sense to you?

According to Lee Fang of The Intercept, Private Prison Lobbyists Are Raising Cash for Hillary Clinton.

After pressure from civil rights groups, Vice News explains Hillary Clinton Shuns Private Prison Cash, Activists Want Others to Follow Suit.

The Huffington Post writes "Lobbying firms that work for two major private prison giants, GEO Group and Corrections Corporation of America, gave $133,246 to the Ready for Hillary PAC, according to Vice."

Do you trust Clinton?

59% of Americans distrust Donald Trump. Speaking of Trump, my friend Brian Hanley has an amazing animated rap series on Bernie defeating Trump. Take a look, it's awesome.

67% of Americans find Hillary Clinton "not honest and trustworthy."

Yes, more Americans trust Donald Trump.

In contrast, Democrats have one honest candidate. As president, Bernie's goal is to ban private prisons, and he's already taken steps toward that objective.

1. We need to examine all policy one by one, HRC vs. Bernie, next to each other

[TheBlackAdder]

23. Can't have a private prison, with the prison industrial complex. Now, where do we find inmates? Hmm

.



Nothing will change with incarcerations. Minorities and the poor will still be picked on!


Too many lawyers, counselors, contract firms, etc... Don't want to upset that industry.

2. Why are black people voting for her again?

Hillary wants to put more blacks and hispanics in prison and on death row (she supports the death penalty).

"bring them to heel" as she likes to call it.

[Freddie Stubbs]

27. Most blacks aren't in prison

In fact, African-Americans are much more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than white Americans. We have a much stronger interest in having bad people locked up.

[nichomachus]

3. The only time Hillary had rejected a "donation"

Was when it was too little. There is a price list. Go big or go home.

[zappaman]

4. "Bernie Will Ban Private Prisons"

Will he wave a magic wand or just click his heels 3 times while saying "Begone private prisons"?

[oasis]

17. Bernie's "Bastille Day". We'll be in full European mode doncha know?

[calguy]

5. I really don't think one more "Hate Hillary" post

is going to change anyone's mind.
But if it makes you feel good, knock yourself out.
By the way, congratulations for demonstrating your ability to cut and paste someone else's thoughts, since you seem to be lacking in that department. So impressive.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

6. Where's the "hate" part?

BTW, I do think for myself. I think that Hillary is unfit to hold public office.

[hifiguy]

9. Agreed in all parts.

[99th_Monkey]

11. When plain facts = "hate" you know someone is lying their asses off.

and it's not the one citing the facts.

[VulgarPoet]

12. Pointing out her shortcomings apparently counts as hate in Weathervane Central.

Libya. Honduras. Syria. Iraq. Fracking. Monsanto. GMOs. Corporate puppet. Triangulator. Liar. I've got reasons for every one of my extremities, and I remember what democrats like her did to the military. They want us to vote for a label. We're voting in the best interests of us, and the people like us.

[TheBlackAdder]

24. I posted elsewhere, religion and politics affect the mind similarly. Now political persecution! nt

[nashville_brook]

10. wow, how do you get "hate" out of that?

[hack89]

7. Bernie can't ban private prisons

it is a state issue.

[99th_Monkey]

13. Except for one big inconvenient fact: The Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supremacy_Clause

[hack89]

14. So Bernie first has to get Congress to ban private prisons

what do you think the odds are of that?

[99th_Monkey]

15. ZERO chance

.. if we elect Hillary, at least SOME chance if we elect Bernie.

BTW - why are you protecting private prisons? Oh, that right, your candidate taking money
from their lobbyists. never mind.

[hack89]

16. I think private prisons should be illegal. nt

[99th_Monkey]

18. Why then to you apparently support a candidate taking money from them? nt

[hack89]

20. Because there are higher priority issues. nt

[uponit7771]

21. Same here but getting anything past this historically gerrymandered GOP congress is unicorn...

... thinking

[99th_Monkey]

22. No we can't. Just give up. Think small. Don't even try. Got it. nt

[uponit7771]

25. or .... or... square up with people on what obsacles are being faced with and don't sugar coat it

... with a bunch of do nothing promises.

Focus the revoltuions efforts towards getting us a dem congress like he's done in the past... which... he hasn't

[99th_Monkey]

26. "efforts towards getting us a dam congress" <-- yes he has

Remember? That's what Bernie was attacked for, going to Marthas Vineyard to
raise money for DEMOCRATIC US Senators elections/re-elections.

You probably didn't notice that, because it was hyped as "Bernie's no different,
see! He goes to posh fund-raisers too, just like Hillary"

[uponit7771]

28. dem.. congress... damn congress works too but dem is better. Sanders isn't being attacked for

... taking DSCC money after lobbying Wall Street firms for it in part.

He's being attacked for not having clean hands while demonizing everyone else who's done something similar.

Bernie IS different... just not different enough

[99th_Monkey]

29. HA! damned spell-corrector is more like it.

Like night and day are "not different enough" for you. Got it.

Bernie's decades-long record is one of the cleanest of ALL pols,
bar none.

Your position is actually laughable: you argue that Bernie isn't
different (i.e. clean) enough for you, yet you support the candidate
who personifies everything thats wrong with American politics.

The disconnect could not be more obvious or more ludicrous.

[uponit7771]

30. I don't see factually that Sanders is night and day, his night is different than hers and that's...

... about it

[hifiguy]

8. She wants to continue/escalate the "drug war" as well.

How progressive can you get? I ask yez?

[uponit7771]

19. I don't believe this for a split second...
