Bragging about Hillary and her bombing credentials? That is seriously fucked up.

Do you understand the holy hell created by her ideology of unilateral intervention and excessive force?

The ideology is called Neoconservative. It's an ideology Hillary shares with Wolfowitz, Kristal, Cheney, Rice, et al.

It's a principal reason we are where we are at this point.

And you are bragging about this shit?

Why?

Because it worked so well last time?

As Hillary's hit team constantly is pointing out,
Bernie is less than perfect on guns, and ... uh ...
well ... he's a grumpy old white guy from Vermont.

There ^ you have it: the devastating list of Bernie's
"less than perfect" flaws..

13. I'm from a rural state, so I agree with Bernie's position on guns.

As far as I'm concerned Bernie doesn't have any baggage to carry with him in to the GE.

The 2008 Hillary took that position too which is both no surprise and makes the current Hillary posters so funny for anyone who has a memory which lasts past the last thing Hillary said. I suspect that the Hillary supporters will again ignore Hillary's own words about her own positions.

http://www.ontheissues.org/2016/Hillary_Clinton_Gun_Control.htm

For those who are lazy, 2008 Hillary ran to the Right of Obama on gun control. She backed off a national gun registry (which she had previously supported) and ran on local and state control over guns rather than a federal approach. Here are some quotes of Hillary. If we changed New York to Vermont, the Hillary people would use it against Bernie not realizing their own candidate had these positions. These are from the 2008 Philly debate.

Q: Both you and Sen. Obama, in the past, have supported strong gun control measures. But now when I listen to you on the campaign, I hear you emphasizing that you believe in an individual’s right to bear arms. Both of you were strong advocates for licensing of guns. Both of you were strong advocates for the registration of guns. Why don’t you emphasize that now?

CLINTON: I respect the Second Amendment. I respect the rights of lawful gun owners to own guns, to use their guns, but I also believe that most lawful gun owners whom I have spoken with for many years across our country also want to be sure that we keep those guns out of the wrong hands. And as president, I will work to try to bridge this divide, which I think has been polarizing and, frankly, doesn’t reflect the common sense of the American people. We will strike the right balance to protect the constitutional right but to give people the feeling & the reality that they will be protected from guns in the wrong hands.

Q: But do you still favor licensing and registration of handguns?
A: What I favor is what works in NY. We have one set of rules in NYC and a totally different set of rules in the rest of the state. What might work in NYC is certainly not going to work in Montana. So, for the federal government to be having any kind of blanket rules that they’re going to try to impose, I think doesn’t make sense.

They even go so far as to say that most Democrats voted for the war, so it's no big deal that any Americans were killed in the Iraq War.

As if their deaths don't matter!!!

I think such false crap should become a TOS violation just because it is so damned stupid, and goes against Democrats who have risked it all for Peace.
