1. Says the publication with Chelsea Clinton on their board. Pretty funny, the daughter of ...

... and arms dealer complaining about the war machine.

2. Votes don't lie

4. Voting to fund our troops after they've been committed is different than voting for the war.

But then you knew that.

I guess Hillary's supporters will gladly send our troops into harms way, but then deny them body armor, food, ammo, etc.

12. no they are not different to a person who has integrity of his views. nt

14. Think about what you just wrote.

18. Not to them

You forget you are talking to NeoCons. Only good solider is a soldier fighting in war to make money. I got told a week back how Sanders time on VA committee was worthless because all he did was help out veterans.

7. No they don't -- over 80 percent of vote in Vermont primary

Funny how Bernie gets slammed for being an unrealistic ideologue -- and gets slammed when he is a pragmatic politiciam protecting the interests of the voters in his district.

3. K&R!

5. too lazy to include a snip?

[Joob]

6. No, let them spread this. I remember a certain interview with someone hating bernie that owns a jet

company in vermont

8. More bull shit from the pro-Wall Street crap spreading machine.

Fling, fling, fling. Some of it might stick!

9. Bernie's not opposed to the military. And yes, he supports deployment of military in Vermont

Including the unquestionably over-priced F-35.

But Bernie doesn't support Saudi kickbacks to Clinton Foundation to facilitate sale to Saudis of weapons now used to kill women and children in Yemen.

[MattP]

10. It's a trillion dollar money pit, not support of the military.It's a flying white elephant that has

to be built because of corrupt contractors and congressman like Bernie

[HereSince1628]

11. His spouse didn't get kickbacks to get them there, and F35s aren't killing children in Yemen

as is true of the products of Hillary's arms deals with the Saudis

[msongs]

13. war is bad...unless bernie can bring home the bacon by voting to keep it going eternally nt

[revbones]

15. The Daily Beast has no credibility - Chelsea is on the board. nt

16. Is it already that time of the month again?

This didn't get any traction on February 9th (posted twice) or March 5th so you figure you will trot it out for an April showing to see if you have better luck than the others? If necessary we can explain how the search function works in case you can't figure it out to see if you are duplicating threads.

17. And Hillary would love to actually use it to kill people, IMO. n/t
