Perhaps there's more important things to do at the moment, like, oh, winning an election? That Sanders is ducking out days before the NY vote telegraphs just what their internal polling must be like.

That must be it!!!

Except that ......... she doesn't give a * about global poverty or the environment - obvious by her past actions. But, you run with that.

One to talk about the evils of money, one to rake it in for political reasons.


Seems appropriate.

That will show that pesky Vatican who the real speaker is

Good to know

I don't think they'll sit back waiting for him to get home.

Seems a bit naive.

Maybe even the nightly news will cover his remarks.

It's Hillary, change "at the moment"

to

"24 hours a day, 365 days a year for her entire life."

Color me shocked...

It is ridiculous.

My my, you really have not paid much attention have you? Not a day goes by when he just stays home and relaxes while the money pours in.

What a clueless thing to say and I am being pleasant with that comment.

Hillary, being in the lead, can rest up and save for the fall.

Have you paid any attention to how this is being done? He burns it, we restock it. That is real people power.

I guarantee no one who supports or donates to him will think this is wasted time and stop the donations.

as opposed to large donations from bankers?
Why are you not on Hillary's case and her contributions from bankers she is supposed to regulate?

Are you naive, ignorant, or have just a blindeye to all of Hillary's worst qualities.

And where are you support for BLM against Hillary's and Bill's unwise demasking about what they really feel about black people?

but I think you know what I meant. LOL.

unlike Bernie. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-vatican-idUSKCN0X5257

You know, guys, we are fighting the Forces of Darkness on the right, right?

They intend to declare unconstitutional Social Security, the EPA, and compulsory education, for just for few examples among many. Funding to our state universities has been cut by something like a third in many red states, with private tuition raised to keep them going.

The Democrats are the good guys in this era, and the bad guys are very bad.

Sad for you (and her, actually ..... you guys don't do her any favours - and she DOES need some).

But seriously, how could someone whose whole life in politics, imo, revolved around helping the rich get richer, push war and environmental disaster like fracking across the globe, and on and on and on ...... be expected to have anything beyond 'hello' to say at such a conference?

his way, behind Lady Archer's back.

Sanders isn't going to have time to say much more than "hello" with a ten minute slot that has been sliced from the pee and coffee break.

But keep thinking this was a good idea. Obama in Berlin, this ain't.

Hint; it doesn't mean "second".

in global poverty and I'm glad he has reached out to the Vatican. That doesn't mean he begged for an invite or any other nonsense being spewed.

After all the Clintons invited the Pope to attend their Global Initiative and she didn't get an invitation. Doesn't that mean she reached out to them "first" too!

Nothing in the Bishop's statement (especially if you actually read the statement rather than the Daily Beast) says that the reason that Sanders was invited is because he asked. I'm quite sure many people express interest. Few are chosen.

But thanks for playing "How Can I Turn An Honor Into A Fail". There's a consolation prize with your name on it!

afforded 10 mins to speak before the coffee break?

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

...I doubt they would even consider her to speak. She is part of the problem.

.

perfectly.

Is this the newest excuse?

There are some things that really do affect every single human being on this planet - women and minorities even more, to be sure. Global poverty is one of them.

Or are you saying women and children are immune?? You're a bit confusing.

Sad but true. Tip o the hat to you.

She's a global poverty creator.

Nothing divisive about it ........... except the obvious line between those qualified to be there and those not.

speech which Hilary would have given --had she applied and been accepted--to Bernie. You vile comments compare an apple to nothing.

to the exact causes this conference is highlighting.


Try harder.

Let's see. Sharing ideas and discussion on global poverty - BAD because you only get to talk for 10 minutes and then people go on coffee break. Charging your potential voters thousands of dollars for a chance to hear something not drowned out by a wind machine - GOOD.

I don't know - I've done many presentations to many people in my business - and let me tell you 10 minutes is a lot. I think it's fabulous that Bernie was even afforded this much time in a conference that already had an agenda put in place. And the idea that he gets to continue discussion with deep thinkers on important issues throughout the day - well, it's really a stretch to make this a bad thing. But to those with little curiosity about important issues, nothing positive to say about their own candidate and no scandal to hang their snideness on -- I guess it's a bad thing.

It's a sad sad situation!

and thank you for talking about your experience on speaking and presentations.

any of those noise cancelling machines that she uses.

is rigged against rentiers!

Neither has President Obama.

This is an academic conference.

Also, as much as I;m sure she'd like to attend, she's otherwise engaged for the next 10 days.

One candidate will be speaking on global poverty - the other one will not (for obvious reasons).

I said I was thrilled she was speaking for an hour on this important issue with people who didn't have to pay at least $500 to see her. She continues with Steve Israel later at another fundraiser - but I did acknowledge this hour with regular folks.

I posted what she was doing from April 12th to April 16.

I never said she was going to Hong Kong. What the hell does that have to do with anything.

anything at the conference...which in her sphere is a PLUS PLUS !!

can't be accused of flip-flopping or worse if you don't say anything...

of getting them killed. Bet she's caused mass poverty in Syria, Libya, Honduras and Columbia along with the death in, and destabilization of those countries she helped along.

For her entire 12 year career as politician who listens more to bankers than the people she dehumanized 20 years earlier, pushing millions of peopel into poverty and taking away their education sort of disqualifies one to be invited to a fora that talks about global poverty.
That person who pushes for bombing people rather than feeding them is another disqualifier.

Unless it's for confession of being a part of the problem off course.

....to sit on his hands.
