'Homo' Clip: Bernie Sanders SLAMS Republican Shill - MUST SEE!

[tomm2thumbs]

This was 20 years ago -- when NO ONE would have stood up for gay men and women in the military like that. If you think Bernie Sanders doesn't have the chops or the gravitas to speak truth to power, even when unpopular, that clip should tell you what that man is made of... and I salute him.



* Turned out that GOP shill was one of the most corrupt members of Congress, who just got released from prison last year... Randy "Duke" Cunningham

9. Or knows who butters her bread, and they give her lots of bread.

P.S. Don't bother hiding this, because I don't mean Hillary butters her bread.

2. That's why he has my vote.

He speaks from his heart and believes in what he says.

Owned by his conscience not corporations.

"Duke" Cunningham

A fed­er­al judge says it is time to for­give Randy “Duke” Cun­ning­ham, the most cor­rupt mem­ber of Con­gress ever if meas­ured by the amount of bribes he ad­mit­ted ac­cept­ing.

U.S. Dis­trict Judge Larry Alan Burns, in a rul­ing is­sued Ju­ly 1 in San Diego, has gran­ted Cun­ning­ham’s re­quest to have his post­pris­on su­per­vi­sion ended early, writ­ing a fi­nal leg­al chapter on the sor­did tale of the flam­boy­ant ace fight­er pi­lot who went to Con­gress as a hero in 1991 and left in 2005 as a dis­graced felon.

The Cali­for­nia Re­pub­lic­an spent more than sev­en years in pris­on after plead­ing guilty in Novem­ber 2005 to charges of tax eva­sion and con­spir­acy to com­mit bribery, mail fraud, and wire fraud. Cun­ning­ham, who was 64 when he was sen­tenced in March 2006, had used his po­s­i­tions on the House Ap­pro­pri­ations and In­tel­li­gence com­mit­tees to steer luc­rat­ive con­tracts to those who would help him fin­ance an ex­tra­vag­ant life­style fea­tur­ing 19th-cen­tury French an­tiques, yachts, Per­sian rugs, hunt­ing trips, a Rolls Royce, and a $2.55 mil­lion home in an ex­clus­ive com­munity in San Diego County.

It all un­raveled in 2005 when The San Diego Uni­on-Tribune wrote about the cor­rup­tion, trig­ger­ing a fed­er­al probe that found, among many oth­er things, that Cun­ning­ham had drawn up a “bribe menu” on con­gres­sion­al note­pa­per, out­lining what bribes he would need to de­liv­er a con­tract or ear­mark.
