Why are you disrespecting them? Are they not serious government officials to you?

Or perhaps you didn't read past the words "Hillary Rodham Clinton"?

Supports a bill that is not likely to get past Senate and Congress.....only then it's serious and not "Alice in Wonderland"?

Very enlightening.....

I've been pretty clear about it: Your post inspired me to re-read Alice in Wonderland, a classic.

And hey, I wish Hillary Rodham Clinton good luck in closing the revolving door between politicians and corporate lobbyists. She's never been part of the problem and based on her record I'm sure that when she's POTUS she'll put an immediate end to it.

That's what I love about Alice. The logic is impeccable.

I am giving you the opportunity to show it in public...

Bernie Sanders is the stone cold champion of sighning on to bills that seem and are too heavy a lift.....

But when HRC does so.....


Yeah Alice in Wonderland is quite the apt description and since you brought it up....go back to sleep and chase that rabbit.....nobody noticed your irony at !
