Holy shite, this is insane. Politico comparing Bernie to Carson!

I'm a Clinton supporter but this is complete BS. Are they crazy? Carson is a lying, crazy and dangerous nutjob. This is why we shouldn't fight with each other. The Republicans are the real enemy. I can't believe they are trying to rehabilitate effing Carson by comparing him to Sanders. What a crock.

I'm not even going to cut and paste what they did. Read it for yourselves.

3. About Politico's owner:

Nov 2015
Politico's publisher, Robert L. Allbritton, "is best known for following his father, Joe L. Allbritton, as chief executive of the Riggs Bank, which was sold in 2004 after a Senate investigation found that Gen. Augusto Pinochet, the late Chilean dictator, had kept millions of dollars in secret accounts at Riggs."

Robert Allbritton has been chairman and chief executive of Allbritton Communications, which owns television stations in Washington and a half dozen other markets, since 2001.


Something to at least consider.

Me thinks the good Mr. Kruse is gunning for better access to the Clinton campaign (not to mention her possible administration).

I am a Hillary supporter, also.

Yes, the RW is the enemy and Carson is stone cold crazy.

Excellent doctor but bad otherwise.

Get offended that is a great big lie against Hillary Clinton, or would you prefer I get pissed off that it is a great big lie against Sanders, Bernie.

This is equivalent to "Have you stopped loving your dog because he shits in everyone's yard?"
