right bernie, because unions aren't political.... hillary just said sanders voted for swaps and derrivitives... i don't know if that's true.


favoring big sugar in a maple syrup state is pretty sketchy too.... damn socialists, vermont used to be such a nice conservative state, now we have stunnung debt, and people fleeing the state cause they can't afford to live here, our population is going down...... i've know bernie for decades, he is a good person, but he's really gone off the deep end in an otherwise very shallow democrat/socialist pool.

And here is where Sanders greatest equivocation has come. In spite of claims of being antiwar, his “hawkish” support of Clinton’s military actions in the 1999 Kosovo War caused one of his advisers to quit. When antiwar activists occupied Sanders’ office in 1999 because of that support of Clinton’s war policies, he had them arrested.

In 2001, Sanders did not support the vote in Congress to oppose the war in Afghanistan. Congresswoman Barbara Lee stood alone! This vote was followed by his support for appropriations to support boththe war in Afghanistan and Iraq. In 2003 he supported the resolution that gave support to George W. Bush in both Iraq and in the larger war against terrorism, although Sanders has been a critic of the Iraq War.

Then Sanders supported only a gradual withdrawal from Iraq. When impeachment was on the so-called table against George W. Bush in 2006, he said that impeachment was “impractical.”

Sanders can be considered a socialist if he does not extol the virtues of govt. owned industries..
