As my post #235 illustrates, they are tied, but you missed my point of Bernie taking on Uncle Joe Aug 2015 #246

Bernie Sanders take on the media is not unique in any way... Spazito Aug 2015 #249

Bernie defended Hillary Clinton but he cited their differences on key issues not just economic Uncle Joe Aug 2015 #250

Bernie Sanders not attacking Hillary Clinton does not equate to him being better for women.... Spazito Aug 2015 #267

You just said Bernie was focusing solely on economic issues, I just showed you a link and video in Uncle Joe Aug 2015 #268

Yes, I am saying that because, to him, addressing the economic disparities will also address... Spazito Aug 2015 #271

One other point, Bernie didn't just "not criticize Hillary," he defended her Uncle Joe Aug 2015 #272

Yes. And when republicans vote to ban abortions DU women don't give them a pass. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #294

Fine, but again, that's not what she is doing. KMOD Aug 2015 #295

What was she doing then? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #296

again, this KMOD Aug 2015 #297

WTF? Again with the right wing myth that women abort healthy late term fetuses? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #298

You agreed with me last night? KMOD Aug 2015 #300

I thought that after you read the info you would realize you were wrong. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #302

I'm trying to explain this to you so that you will realize why women get late term abortions. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #305

I have lost all respect for you. KMOD Aug 2015 #306

I posted your own words, how did I misrepresent what you said? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #308

Posting their own words is the fastest way to piss them off. hifiguy Aug 2015 #383

"there should be no need, at all, for a late term abortion, unless the mother's life is in danger" beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #303

the link she has back with kerry in senate has clinton voting against it. i do not see wth she is seabeyond Aug 2015 #312

Hillary supported the ban with the exception for the mother's life. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #313

i would like to see where and when she supposedly voted for the ban. nothing in anything seabeyond Aug 2015 #315

She said it herself: beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #319

I did explain it, beam. KMOD Aug 2015 #320

Yes, you said women get late term abortions because they couldn't get them earlier. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #322

Getting abortions earlier should be something we all strive for. KMOD Aug 2015 #325

I still don't know what you're getting at. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #327

I have pretty strong opinions on this as well, Beam. KMOD Aug 2015 #329

I get it, you want to help women by restricting their choices. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #336

You are way the eff out there. KMOD Aug 2015 #337

If you support restricting late term abortions you support restricting my choices. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #339

I never said such a thing. KMOD Aug 2015 #345

She said even more than that: beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #352

I'm sure we'll hear how she "evolved". Warren DeMontague Aug 2015 #353

That willingness to evolve or devolve depending on who she's running against is what worries me. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #354

total coincidence, I'm sure, that in 2004 the "values voters" were supposedly all powerful and Warren DeMontague Aug 2015 #355
