Hillary vs. Bernie on Frankenfood - article from June 2015

From Article:

ON Monsanto and GMO:
How is Hillary personally involved in supporting big agriculture? The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), which gathers leaders to solve the world's problems, promotes Monsanto, the maker of RoundUp® and RoundUp Ready® seeds. Hugh Grant, Monsanto's Chairman and CEO spoke at the Clinton Global Initiative conference in September, 2014. Ms. Clinton's top campaign advisor, Jerry Crawford, was a lobbyist for Monsanto for years and is now the political pro for her Super PAC, "Ready for Hillary." Clinton spoke in favor of the government's Feed the Future (FtF) program, a USAID funded, corporate-partnered program that brings RoundUp Ready® technology to the most vulnerable populations of the world. Monsanto and Dow Chemical support Hillary and Bill's 'Clinton Foundation' with generous donations.


On the TPP
"As Secretary of State, Clinton promoted the TPP 45 times according to CNN. She even stated for the record, "this agreement will ... build in strong protections for workers and the environment" when it does exactly the opposite. The actual wording in the TPP's environmental chapter states: "The Parties further recognize that it is inappropriate to set or use their environmental laws or other measures in a manner which would constitute a restriction on trade or investment between the Parties [read: Countries]." What this means is that environmental laws can't stop trade. Clinton soft-pedals the TPP, saying at a recent Des Moines, Iowa rally, "No President would be a tougher negotiator on behalf of American workers, with trading partners or on Capitol Hill than I would be.""

The article is an eye opener. Bernie takes the right side on the issues and Hillary not only takes the wrong side, but is shown in examples shilling for GMO's and the TPP.

1. Just two of the many issues that prevent me from supporting her. All the other campaign stuff is

just a distraction, issues likes these tell me what she would do if she were president. No thanks.

[trillion]

2. Agreed, but this is how I found it.

Take any progressive issue and google her.

If it's not planned parenthood she's going to have a history of taking the wrong side.

She even voted against gays for the defense of marriage act.

Pick a corrupt corporation and google her, I find the financial link every time.

She just can't stand on progressive issues past I'm a woman and I support abortion. I'm a woman and I also support abortion, but I support a whole lot more, and not just if I'm running for president.

4. It is really pathetic how little the Hillary campaign talks about issues.

Or telling. One of those. it is not like (IMO) bernie's supporters are single-issue voters, either. But - we care about the issues, not the campaign dribbles and farts oozing out to try and smear Bernie.

3. She's on the wrong side if most issues. GMOs, TPP, XL Pipeline, Fracking, WAR, Healthcare, Higher

Education... You name the correct side for WE THE PEOPLE, she takes the opposite position.

8. AND President of the Young Republicans in 1965

Gee what was Bernie doing in '65.... oh yea.....

Do a little googling on what good Republicans were doing in '65 - Supporting Civil Rights? Not so much!

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. Exactly!

She's always been a RW authoritarian and Bernie has always been fighting for those less fortunate. - "The least of these."

The choice couldn't be more clear.

PEACE
LOVE

10. Yep

it's been clear since day 1 for me.

How the hell could I vote for someone that I know is so entrenched in the Oligarchy and will put Social Security on the chopping block.

I should vote for someone I know will screw me?

11. again she didn't think they were going to have to run a primary race

she thought she could put Medicare and SS on the table, sends our jobs overseas and bring indenturees here, follow the donors on pharma, insurance, dirty energy, and Wall Street, block legal weed, get us in Iraq, Syria, Honduras, Libya, and would toss any social liberalism in the rubbish the moment the polls shifted

we've been "holding our nose" for so many decades they thought they had us to the left of Francisco Franco right where they wanted us, that we'd grumble and moan but have nowhere else to go, that they could keep the party tottering with no goal, no Congress, and with around a quarter of the country's voters

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. But....Bernie gave us somewhere to go and we went - en masse!

They just weren't prepared for this. We blindsided them and I LOVE THAT!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
