In the 1990s, the Clintons set up a trade deal based scheme to prevent affordable health care and education in not just the biggest economy in the world at the time...

They wanted to end the 20th century in a BIG WAY by using it to PRIVATIZE and hijack health care and education in the entire WORLD!

And guess what, its WORKING!

she really believes that. I believe she also wanted to grind minorities under her heel and sure enough that's exactly what the Clinton-backed prison industrial complex achieved.

The rest is lies though I agree!

You can't convince these people that she is a liar by using her own words. You'd think that would be a no-brainer, but apparently not. Still, liars are always caught in their lies and eventually have to answer for them. Let's hope it is during he primary and before it's too late.

We have to realize there's as much fantasy fervor for Hillary as there is for Trump. And the basis for both Hillary's and Donald's undeserved ardors is equally phony. But love is blind - and the adoration of this corporate shill is proof of that.

RW. As if a post violates TOS because some alerter say it sounds like Limbaugh?

Mostly, they seem to really boil down to, "I don't want to see negative stuff about Hillary on DU."

However juries are the luck of the draw.

alerted on, too. The theory of some alerters apparently is that Democrats would pretend they don't exist. Therefore, they belong on FREEP, not a Democratic board and posting them is being like Limbaugh. And Bernie supporters are supposed to be the mythical ones!

When Democrats opposed truth, Medicare for All, protection of 4th amendment rights, etc., something seems to me to be very, very out of joint. But, then again, what would I know about Democratic principles? According to some alerters, I'm a Republican troll, supporting a candidate who is participating in Democratic debates without being a Democrat only because DWS is too kind and polite to him to say no.



Just smile, nod and wave.
