First off, Hillary, let he without sin cast the first stone...

How's your life been?

Secondly, I have no doubt that Bernie has "spent money" and has "enjoyed himself" before. But living a lavish lifestyle with corporate lobbyistss?!

The guy repairs his own windows screens for chrissakes! lmao...

Oh Hillary, you'll never change.

That's all they have to attempt to discredit the most honorable, ethical candidate we've had since Jimmy Carter. I hope it comes back to bury them.

TV before they go and vote. They are hoping to change the minds of some voters (undecideds and Bernie supporters) at the last minute with crap like this.

They are really desperate.

He wears the same old suit. His hair is definitely not coiffed.
He looks like his big night out would involve buying a large vanilla ice cream cone WITH sprinkles.

Was anything resembling evidence been offered or we merely suppose to take their word for it? Because from the beginning the House of Clinton has always been nothing if not honest.

I usually don't react so strongly, but this latest smear against Bernie was just too much. The level to which Hillary's campaign is willing to sink is appalling.

He normally goes home to Vermont on weekends. I don't think I've just heard that from him. I think his neighbors were saying it when they went around interviewing them.

Rolling Stone did a piece on him. He maintains he can't stand Washington politics types. He likes to be around real people. It depresses him coming back from Vermont to go back to work with the people in Washington.

Do you honestly see Bernie getting off playing shuffleboard every day in Florida? I can't.

Rally in St Paul:

Rally in Birmingham:

Rally in South Carolina:

Rally in Los Angeles:


Etc and so on - he has been criss-crossing the country talking to everyone he can. The man doesn't even stop to get a hair cut. I'd love to know when he has time for frolicking in Florida.

It was the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. He got.. are you sitting down? $200,000 for his senatorial campaign and "Sanders was even once spotted chatting sociably for close to an hour with a financial services lobbyist who was in a hot tub while the senator sat nearby."

Really? Isn't he sort of damned if he does and damned if he doesn't? If he goes he a hypocrite for going and if he doesn't then he doesn't help raise money for the Democrats.

Anyway,$200,000 is really paltry considering how much money Hillary has gotten from these powerful interests.

I wonder how much he was pressured to attend?

Lies, deception and "spin".

They certainly learned their trade at the feet of Karl Rove.

If the media wasn't in the tank for her, if we had some honest journalists on the air and in print, this shit wouldn't fly.

And HRC isn't part of the establishment? The stupid. It burns.
