1. And the Pope is my Uncle

[workinclasszero]

38. Spin it anyway you want

Doesn't change the fact that Hillary is a hardcore lib.

A fact is still a fact even if you wish it wasn't.

[ReRe]

39. You spin it your way...

... and I'll spin it mine. Here's a fact for you: HRC/WJC sold their liberal souls down the river when they paraded in the DLC in sheep's clothing back in the '90s. HRC is hardcore Third Way/DLC/GrandBargain/Neoliberal/NewDemocrat/Progressive Policy Institute.

But hardcore Liberal she is not.

[workinclasszero]

44. And what was sanders doing at that time?

Cutting deals with the MIC...F-35?

Getting cozy with big gun manufacturers maybe?

2. I was eating ma spaghett when you typed those words.

That's mean.

4. Milk through the nose, lol

[Kip Humphrey]

5. Funny how she refuses to call herself a liberal... Hillary herself disputes this assertion.

[EndElectoral]

6. Depends on the crowd and what day of the week it is.

[Kip Humphrey]

7. Actually, in this case I think not. Hillary has steadfastly refused to call herself a liberal going

back to 1970 - a very long time.

[Armstead]

31. That's because liberals were associated with 'special interests"

Liberal used to be dog whistle for blacks, feminism, LGBT, unions, hippies, academics and otehr undesirables.

The Clinton wing purposely put distance between themselves and those "liberal special interests" in the 80's and 90's, as part of DLC re positioning.

How soon we forget.

8. There are no facts, only interpretations. Friedrich Nietzsche

Thanks for contributing your interpretation.

[cali]

9. Long before this primary I've been saying what utter shit those stupid graphs are

All votes are not equal

[Faux pas]

10. Yeah

and I'm the Queen of the World.

[MgtPA]

11. Clinton herself would blanch at this chart.

So...where would you put Bernie?

[lagomorph777]

16. Off the damned chart!

[Go Vols]

23. +1

[Hell Hath No Fury]

12. Oh REALLY???

41. Thanks Hell Hath No Fury !

I've seen this graph, wasn't sure where it came from.

[Hare Krishna]

45. Came here for that.

+1

[Jester Messiah]

13. That doesn't pass the laugh test.

She's about as liberal as the sea is dry.

[Orsino]

14. My left ass cheek is hardcore left...

...but that doesn't make it liberal.

Rating liberality according to the profoundly conservative business of our government is a recipe for fallacy.

Hillary Clinton has shown some liberal leanings, but is center-rightish otherwise. Calling her liberal is not the way to get her to change.

[whatchamacallit]

15. absolute crap

[Marrah_G]

17. That is a crock

[AgingAmerican]

18. She says she is a 'Moderate'

Whatever that is

[Octafish]

19. That must be why Walmart had her on their board.

Six years. So pro-union, pro-worker, progressives and liberal they are Buy Partisan.

[Broward]

20. I suppose that's her pitch to those Bush donors.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. DONT TELL THE "MEGACHURCH MOMS"!

[Go Vols]

22. lol

In the late 1970s, as large corporations turned into transnational giants, they pumped huge amounts of cash into the political system. This largesse lured, first, the Republican Party, in the 80s, followed by the Democratic Party in the ‘90s, and precipitated a rightward political shift as both parties rewrote their policies to compete for the same corporate contributions.

Before this, from 1932-1976, the Democratic Party as a whole was far more progressive. The issues and approaches advocated today by Bernie Sanders were considered mainstream Democratic ideas by Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson, and even many moderate Republicans. It was common to support strict financial regulation, liberal immigration, social services for the poor, and progressive tax policies.

[Fresh_Start]

30. The country is way more conservative than people acknowledge

http://www.people-press.org/2008/05/01/obamas-image-slips-his-lead-over-clinton-disappears/

I haven't found a more recent poll.
Look where the registered voters placed themselves on the scale versus Clinton, etc. on the idiological placement of the candidates
Now imagine where Sanders is on that scale.

[Mnpaul]

33. I'm really Superman

and I'm going to keep saying it until you believe me.

[andym]

34. Compare to Bernie

http://www.ontheissues.org/Bernie_Sanders.htm

Not a bad website, gives quotes, actions and dates on each issue.
Bernie is 100% on Social Issues. Hilary is 80% liberal. Bernie is more liberal than Hillary, which is obvious.

[AzDar]

36. You meant 'Hard-Core LIAR', right? Because that would actually be true...

[silvershadow]
