1. Isn't she now claiming she is AGAINST the for profit prisons?

Hard to tell these days which side she is on.

8. she is still taking their money

15. Come on! Just because someone is taking their money, doesn't mean they are beholden to them.

[AtheistCrusader]

28. Give it a minute. Polling data will change the answer.

[liberalnarb]

37. she doesn't "support" them per se, but THEY $upport her.

[MattSh]

71. She's on the side of...

say anything to get elected.

IF she should get elected, then it will be perfectly clear what side she is on...

[VulgarPoet]

3. Kicked, rec'd, and bookmarked. nt

[Ferd Berfel]

4. SHe will always triangulate to do what works for her Corporate base.

RIght now it's triangulating to the Left just to get the job. Later the triangle will continue to spin.

[redstateblues]

5. Endorsed by the NRA. How very progressive

[Lizzie Poppet]

16. Wow, you're exactly as honest as your candidate.

That is to say, a liar.

Or maybe I should give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you have no clue what a political endorsement actually is. The NRA will endorse the GOP candidate after the primary, period. Pointing out that a candidates's position on a single point isn't stupid* isn't an "endorsement."

The depths to which Hillary and her acolytes will sink is positively breathtaking.

*suing companies for legal, non-defective products is bullshit

[Cassiopeia]

22. That's right, she's doing a fundraiser with the NRA

because they hate her so very much and believe she's a candidate strong on gun laws against weapon manufacturers profits.

[Gwhittey]

54. Well to be fair.

Clinton was not endorsed by the NRA. She was just co-hosting a fundraiser for her Campaign with a NRA lobbyist, they have not endorsed her yet. So please don't spread misinformation like a Clinton Supporter has been doing.

[sulphurdunn]

74. That is a false statement.

I hope it was the result of being misinformed.

[disillusioned73]

6. Positions..

& votes have consequences..

[NurseJackie]

7. Looks like that's not convincing enough people to support him during the nomination process.

The American people are speaking, and they're choosing Hillary.




PS: Who made that monstrosity? I didn't know that anyone still used MS-Paint for Windows95.

[davidthegnome]

14. With respect...

He's convincing quite a lot of people. Clinton may have the lead, but Sanders is doing pretty darn well. The points made by the OP are pretty significant, I think. I don't think the American people overall have chosen anyone just yet. The race goes on.

[NurseJackie]

21. Yes indeed. Quite a lot. He's to be congratulated.

[liberalnarb]

38. How courteous. You don't see that a lot on DU.

Thank you! I try to do the same. I've been called a "fake" Bernie supporter on here a few times.

[Lizzie Poppet]

18. "The American people are speaking"

[liberalnarb]

36. Hillary did a good job in the south. She ran away with it on Super Tuesday.

Okay, that's true, but Bernie won BIG on Super Saturday. The media downsizes it.

[jmowreader]

70. Please.

There were three states on Super Saturday. Bernie won two and came out further behind than he already was. Only a Bernie supporter calls that a win.

[truebluegreen]

40. Looks to me like that message is convincing the people

who actually have the opportunity to hear it. But of course we know that the corporate media and the DNC (and DWS) are working together to prevent that from happening. Don't we.

[NurseJackie]

42. You may be right! Yes, that's *got* to be it!

[truebluegreen]

45. OK, I'll play.

Please post links to major newspaper stories and media clips that REPORT that Bernie won 3 of 4 primaries on Saturday.

I'd say I would wait but a) you won't look and b) you wouldn't find them if you did.



If Drumpf or Cruz and Hillary Clinton are the best the vaunted American democracy can offer, we are toast.

[NurseJackie]

47. "Dog-Bites-Man" vs "Man-Bites-Dog"

I guess that's just the nature of US media, but it's not the conspiracy that Bernie's hardcore fans imagine. His wins weren't really the stuff that makes the "BREAKING NEWS" scrolling tickers, it was all pretty much expected. Good candidates know how to compensate and don't need to rely on tickers to get out their message or to appear viable. He's the wrong candidate at the wrong time who doesn't do a very good job at getting his message out. (Just my opinion.)

If Drumpf or Cruz and Hillary Clinton are the best the vaunted American democracy can offer, we are toast.

Well, if you truly believe that, then I hope your "doomsday prepper" food supplies, ammo and underground shelter and bug-out gear are stocked up. (Personally, I'm a bit more optimistic.)

[truebluegreen]

55. Uh-Huh

Hillary was expected to run the table only a year ago: so is the result so far Dog-Bites-Man or the reverse?

As for Doomsday prepping, it's a done thing: I left the country long ago and live in the civilized world now. The only question was whether I would ever come back; it is not looking likely.

Enjoy your time in the barrel.

[bvar22]

57. I remember a few months ago when the Hillary Fan Club predicted

that Bernie would win only one state...Vermont.

THAT is how credible their opinions are.

[truebluegreen]

58. Exactly.

[virgista]

62. Why do otherwise thoughtful Hillary supporters rationalize or forgive her pro-war stances

past and very much present? It's as if they just don't want to think about it. Pretend it isn't happening, or, "it will all be OK... because, because, she's just so wonderful that's why..."

Medea Benjamin has written a superb synopsis of Hilary's war-bent in today's Commondreams: "Pink-Slipping Hillary: On Remembering the Victims of the Iraq War". [sorry I haven't figured out how to link yet]. The article starts with a 2003 trip to HRC's senate office by Code Pink. Hilary's steadfast enthusiasm for invading Iraq would not be dissuaded by any argument:

We thought the easiest way to prevent harming women, children and other living things in Iraq was to stop a war of aggression, a war over weapons of mass destruction that UN inspectors on the ground couldn't’t find — which were, in fact, never found because they didn't’t exist. Clinton, however, was steadfast in her commitment to war: She said it was our responsibility to disarm Saddam Hussein and even defended George W. Bush’s unilateralism, citing her husband’s go-it-alone intervention in Kosovo.

Disgusted, CODEPINK cofounder Jodie Evans tore off her pink slip and handed it to Clinton, saying that her support for Bush’s invasion would lead to the death of many innocent people. Making the bogus connection between the September 11, 2001, attacks and Saddam Hussein, Clinton stormed out, saying, “I am the Senator from New York. I will never put my people’s security at risk.”

Take the blind from your eyes HRC fans. Wanting to go to war, real bad, in the Middle East, just can't be forgiven.

[Gwhittey]

52. Suberting the message to hear

What you want from American people is not a good thing. With the over the top obvious attempt by the media and DNC to limit Sanders voice should make any True democrat upset. Scheduling only 6 debates and ensuring only 6 vs 26 we had in 2008, is a clear cut attempt to limit exposure of Sanders. If people have never heard Sanders then why would they vote for him? And they really really crappy times the DNC is having the debates, Sat night? You would think DNC would want as many people see them, that is what GOP is doing. And all dirty tricks that have come out of HRC headquarters is bad. Even if we ignore the less obvious ones the whole Civil Rights thing and then race baiting was just plan and simple GOP things.

27. Love your post, but with regard to the Afghan war...

On September 14, 2001 the House passed House Joint Resolution 64 (Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists). The totals in the House of Representatives were 420 ayes, 1 nay and 10 not voting. The sole nay vote was by Barbara Lee, D-CA.[2] Lee was the only member of either house of Congress to vote against the bill

-- Wikipedia

[rgbecker]

32. Interesting that anyone still thinks this resolution is applicable to ISIS when it clearly states

(a) IN GENERAL- That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.

29. Thanks for the chart,cyberpj.

I had no idea that Hillary, like Bernie, was so "progressive"

[Jed28]

31. Amen

[pinebox]

33. This.

[liberalnarb]

34. The for-profit prison one isn't entirely true.

She doesn't support them, she just... takes their money. Which is really just as bad come to think about it.

[Uncle Joe]

35. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, cyberpj.

[Ikonoklast]

46. If Hillary was a MAN named John Smith, and had those positions as a Democratic candidate,

her supporters would be screaming "DINO! BLUE DOG! NOT A REAL DEMOCRAT!!!!"

[NurseJackie]

51. Oh brother! GMAFB!

[Bohunk68]

76. Would you be willing to compromise a woman's

right to choose what to do with her own body? Or would you tell her, "Oh, brother! GMAFB?"

[Doctor_J]

77. Her campaign would not have lasted a week.

Her gender is her only asset in this campaign.

[Kip Humphrey]

79. Bernie would be the nominee today if this were the case , absolutely no doubt about it. Likewise,

Elizabeth Warren would be our candidate now hands down had she chosen to run.

[felix_numinous]

61. Not one HRC supporter has defended these policies at all.

because the records speak for themselves--and line up with conservative Republicans. HRC is not a liberal and not a progressive. Actions speak louder than words.

This pretense is not only insulting to actual liberals and progressives, it denies the left any voice at all. I am convinced under HRC liberals would not be represented in government.

"More Of The Same"

[SoapBox]

67. She is everything except...

Democratic...Progressive...or Liberal.

And that only leaves that other side of the spectrum.

No...More...Clintons.

[Coincidence]

69. Not exactly the only progressive running, said Jill Stein.

[noamnety]

72. Chart needs to include Right to Choose

Bernie: Consistently Supports
Hillary: Willing to Compromise

[Tanuki]

73. Did you create the chart? If not, you should give credit to the source. eom

75. If she gets as far as the General Election, the ads write themselves

not good ads, but definitely easy-picking low fruit

81. K&R, a few Jim Hightower quotes come to mind.

The last time I saw Mr. Hightower in person was at a UM on campus rally in A2. Get out the vote for Bernie my dear friends in the beautiful state of Michigan.

The middle of the road is for yellow lines and dead armadillos.

The opposite for courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.

Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.

Populists have always been out to challenge the orthodoxy of the corporate order and to empower workaday Americans so they can control their own economic and political destinies. This approach distinguishes the movement from classic liberalism, which seeks to live in harmony with concentrated corporate power by trying to regulate excesses.

When I entered politics, I took the only downward turn you could take from journalism.

What created democracy was Thomas Paine and Shays' Rebellion, the suffragists and the abolitionists and on down through the populists and the labor movement, including the Wobblies. Tough, in your face people... Mother Jones, Woody Guthrie... Martin Luther King and Caesar Chavez. And now it's down to us.
