HRC never voted the crime bill, but her non-vote is consistently weighed more against her, than his actual vote.

He did not vote for the IWR or the welfare reform bill. As for the crime bill, he did so begrudgingly to stop assault weapons and violence against women and criticized the other portions of the bill harshly.

The conference committee version included not only the assault weapons ban but also the Violence Against Women Act provisions. Sanders supported these efforts to protect women.

In Sanders’ statement at the time, he criticized the mass incarceration and death penalty provisions in the bill, saying:

“…it is also my view that through the neglect of our Government and through a grossly irrational set of priorities, we are dooming tens of millions of young people to a future of bitterness, misery, hopelessness, drugs, crime, and violence.

And Mr. Speaker, all the jails in the world, and we already imprison more people per capita than any other country, and all of the executions in the world, will not make that situation right. We can either educate or electrocute. We can create meaningful jobs, rebuilding our society, or we can build more jails.

Mr. Speaker, let us create a society of hope and compassion, not one of hate and vengeance.”

But you already knew that and have to lie to get Hillary elected. Pathetic.

to be put in prison (incarcerated) to protect society from them.

It is worse to me to believe that something is evil and still vote for it.

Mr. Speaker, it is my firm belief that clearly, there are some people in our society who are horribly violent, who are deeply sick and sociopathic, and clearly these people must be put behind bars in order to protect society from them.


seems to me that "people who are horribly violent, deeply sick and sociopathic" are about equal to "super predators."

and the saying that "these people must be put behind bars in order to protect society from them." is about equal to saying that should be "brought to heel"

we don't know how to cure that need protection from themselves and that society needs protection from. He also acknowledges that there are very few of these people and they need help.

Not at all the same as putting people in jail for non violent offenses and your pretense at ignorance is disingenuous and disgusting.

That's who she hangs with!

Especially when she's running for President!

She likes calling us the "little people".

And she pats us on our heads and kisses our babies!

Hillary has nothing to do with the rich and powerful on Wall Street and in corporate boardrooms.

No "money bags" on her e-mail list.

Just common folk like us.

She can even speak with a southern drawl when talking at us in the south!

I heard that Hillary even takes in laundry to supplement her modest income.

And I'm not talking about laundering money either!

Hillary .... a real working class hero we can look up to and identify with.
