I like Sanders and I love Planned Parenthood.

[ZombieHorde]

If some of the higher ups at PP think HRC is the best candidate for them, then I respect that. I can handle minor disagreements from people and organizations I respect. There is no way I'm going to say anything bad about PP because they like a Democrat who has done a lot work for women's rights around the world.

I hope Sanders wins.

I hope Planned Parenthood thrives.

1. Sensible

I figure Hillary and Bernie have been politicians a long time. Each has relationships with groups and individuals who will support them. I'm a nurse. I see one of the nurses unions is endorsing Bernie I'm not going to throw myself under the bus because I support Hillary. I support nurses. The endorsement doesn't bother me.

2. They're both Democrats.

Neither are villains. Neither are perfect. They both have different sets of strengths and weaknesses. Reasonable people can disagree about politics. I mostly just want a Democrat picking the Supreme Court nominees.

4. I wouldn't hesitate a minute

I'd vote for Bernie if he's the nominee. He's a passionate decent human being. I'm glad he jumped in the race no matter how it turns out.

3. "Planned Parenthood is taking a hammering on twitter right now"

Planned Parenthood is now feeling the Bern.

5. As long as PP keeps doing what they've been doing, I will love them.

I am neither surprised nor disappointed by their HRC endorsement, even though I favor Sanders.

7. No, people who used Sanders' comment about PP to try and attack him, are getting hammered.

What are things coming to, when people can"t start a hashtag attacking a widely supported candidate without the many supporters of that candidate turning it back on them!?

Anyway, he's not supposed to have all those supporters. Why doesnt someone TELL THEM, they're not ALLOWED to support that guy, IT'S. NOT. HIS. TURN!!!

9. Is it any wonder?

"Hillary Clinton Hires Daughter of Planned Parenthood's Chief"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251986325

So, gets federal funding, has never endorsed anybody before, CEO's kiddo is hired by Hillary campaign and then they endorse her?
Uhhhh ya.........

I like what PP does BUT this is well......questionable at best.

10. That dog doesn't hunt, my friend.

Daughter has been on board with Hillary for a long time. She has been on Hillary's candidacy staff since last August. So there is no connection between the PP endorsement and daughter's employment.

And BTW, I am a Bernie supporter. I just don't like people making shit up. Such tactics are not good for any Democratic Party advocate. Let's leave that to the GOP.

My best to you.

11. Ironically, PP is the place to go when feeling a berning sensation after too much hammering.

[rusty quoin]

6. I like this thread. I will support the democratic nominee.

This is a rational thread.

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Ive always supported PP, and their endorsement doesnt change that.

But Im also not going to pretend that Bernie Sanders using the word "establishment" in response to a question means he is attacking plannmed parenthood... or feed into another goofy bullshit narrative about "evil sanders supporters zomg"

12. I'm a long time 100% PP fan yet

I didn't think it was a good move on their part to go all in on any one candidate and for the very first time, too increases the significance of this move. Both candidates are for women's rights and reproductive rights. I've been following Washington, politicians and politics long enough to understand the daughter "dog" does hunt. She's been on board for Hillary for only about five months but hardly long enough to sanitize the mother. Even if she'd been working for Hillary for 5 hears, it seems a conflict of interest, both personally and for the organization as a whole. PP needs all women, not just Hillary's, or just Dems to help in the fight for our rights and our daughters'.

Now the Republican anti-female machine is coming after us here in KY as I just learned today they're introduced 24 hr BS in our legislature. Might as well give a shout out to all those KY Democrats who couldn't bother to get out to vote this past November against our new crazier than a Cruz sandwich tea party governor. Hope none of you are on this site telling the rest of us whats what in the coming pres election.

Quite naturally for me then, I hate to see PP potentially weakening themselves by choosing between one huge group of voters' candidate over another's. Bad business decision to my way of thinking when they risk any goodwill or donations. Certainly the organization have been Washington Democratic insiders for a very very long time. That's how they get funding. Lobbying for it like everyone else though I sure approve of their cause.

Insiders. Establishment. Synonyms, I think in this case. So who can fault Bernie......
