(6,852 posts)And yes it is true the Sanders has taken on many spacial interests. Though I am an HRC supporter I always been a big fan of Bernie's
He leaves out gun interests in this discussion though. He opposed the Brady Bill. Vermont's Republican Congressman voted Yes. THAT was a tough vote. He lost his seat because of it. Though one less Republican in the house is always good thing Peter Smith took on the gun lobby and it cost him his career. Bernie gets mad anytime someone brings up this discussion.
I know an alert is coming soon. Since we are in a fact free zone.

(6,852 posts)Bernie talks about TPP and Keystone in this clip. About how we always stands against special interests how HRC is changing her positions for expediency.
He does the same thing he rode the support of the NRA into the house. I know they have given him low rating since he has been in Congress and the Senate but he happily took their support for the case of political expediency.
He tries to portray himself as holier then thou and he plays the game just like everyone else.
And awhile we are on the subject of marriage equality here is Mr. Sanders in 2006
