Other than that, the difference between the Hillary Clinton of 2009 and the GW Bush of 1999 is vanishingly small.

Its no surprise most of her money bundlers are oil lobbyists, while Bush/Cheney came from the oil industry.

Hillary even defended W's handling of Hurricane Katrina at the prompting of elder Bush.

…..has said things in the last three days about how some are "saying things" that give new young "progressive" Democrats the idea that the Democratic Party is corrupt.

There is so much about this that is repellent. No names are mentioned. But we certainly know who has been seen as corrupt by large numbers of people. So by equating HRC with the Party itself, it follows that by critiquing her, Bernie is unfairly tainting the whole party. It's Bernie who's hurting the party—not anything corrupt actually going on in the party or by said protectress of the young.

And this is of a piece with the tactic her surrogates are pushing in the media---that her numbers are going down because of Bernie's bad words As opposed to people legitimately getting more and more informed and being turned off by her. Or that Bernie is rising because people actually prefer him. No—nothing like that. It's just 'cause he's saying bad things.

Bad Bernie!

Just heard idiots from NPR this afternoon yapping about Bernie toning it down, stop picking on Hill and "getting in line" to give up his campaign.

Man, the Elites are just pathetic in their attempt to prop up her crappy campaign.

….holding up a piece of garlic when I hear David Brooks on NPR. He was clutching his pearls over losing Jackson on the 20 dollar bill.

Yes, he's one of those who's saying HRC's numbers are lessening, not because of her, but because of Bernie.

The Clinton Machine has been grasping after power for 24 years now! They seem insatiable to me.

- Pro-confrontation with Iran
- Pro-suppression of Palestinians

Exactly.
