Hussein had WMD and harbored al qaeda. She tells Goldman-Sachs one thing behind closed doors, in secret, and tells us peons something totally different. Some issues she has changed sides and her poor fans don't know where she stands. Like fracking and the TPP.

Sanders tells the truth.

said the same thing--that Hillary takes money from the fossil-fuel industry.

That's not a lie.

There are some mouthy crazies who falsely claim, "Bernie said that Hilkary takes money from fossil-fuel companies and that is a lie!!!!"

No one said Hillary took money from companies. Way to build up a lie that NO ONE said and tear it down.

The long-time argument has always been that Hillary takes money from the fossil-fuel industry.

Lobbyists for the fossil-fuel industry are part of the fossil-fuel industry. Aren't they? They sure as hell aren't part of the breakfast-cereal industry or the bird bath industry, now are they?

As for Mr. Dean, um this is what we have been saying all along. So, it's not really a newsflash.

like registered lobbyists for the fossil fuel industry, Hillary is actually trying to pretend she hasn't taken any money from the fossil fuel industry and hoping that people are stupid enough to believe her lies.
