The irony.
(Bernie didn't "lie" about any of the OP examples. WaPo is lying.)

(646 posts)I look forward to the unpacking of Pope-gate. It's like Bernie told the world that the Pope invited him to the Vatican and his campaign were like, derp?....
I haven't seen fact check on debate gate but, who has time?

But keep up the false equivalence. It looks good on you.

(2,348 posts)... is that this week should tamp down the hyperbolic praise that Bernie gets. The talk that was going around about him being the most honest politician of our lifetimes, how he always speaks the truth, how this is our one chance to elect someone we can be proud of - that was always soap-opera level overacting.
Bernie's a nice guy, but he's a politician just like every other politician. Hopefully, we have learned that lesson, and we can go back to being sane.

(47,803 posts)He is the ONLY candidate who has been telling the truth on the issues that matter for 35 years.
yes, he's human, he has flaws, he's a little cranky sometimes and he is a politician.
But he IS the only candidate in this race who has leveled with the American people about the issues that matter.
