Love Bernie! zentrum Sep 2017 #8

Indeed! Here he is on the Senate floor in 2013 speaking for Dreamers: beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #11

Here he is in 2007 repeating a false story about immigrants taking lifeguard jobs. SunSeeker Sep 2017 #14

You mean Bush's bill? The one the SPLC likened to slavery? beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #15

The Kennedy-McCain bill did not spread a false story that immigrants were taking lifeguard jobs. SunSeeker Sep 2017 #20

Still slavery, still immoral. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #23

You can keep ignorimg Bernie's own words, but I won't. nt SunSeeker Sep 2017 #25

You do that while I stand behind the co-sponsor of the DREAM act. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #29

How is QUOTING someome discrediting them? SunSeeker Sep 2017 #32

Ted Kennedy proposed an immoral bill? Was he for slavery? lunamagica Sep 2017 #45

I dunno, the SPLC and League of United Latin American Citizens thought it was like slavery. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #46

Oh. so you think he DID want to pass an immoral bill and was for slavery lunamagica Sep 2017 #48

He had good reasons to support it and others had good reasons to oppose it. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #50

If the immigration bill had passed, there'd be no need for the DREAM act lunamagica Sep 2017 #51

The SPLC, LULAC and Bernie all had good reasons to oppose it. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #53

Well, well well, How about this? LULAC Urges Congress to Support Bipartisan Immigration Plan lunamagica Sep 2017 #61

That was the 2005 bill, it appears they changed their mind in 2007. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #62

Here is the portion of the bill related to workers. Where is the slavery? lunamagica Sep 2017 #63

I refer you back to the statements from the SPLC and LULAC. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #64

Can't you read and think for yourself? lunamagica Sep 2017 #65

I'm not an immigration expert, I trust the SPLC and LULAC. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #67

His vote was not about protecting migrant workers lunamagica Sep 2017 #71

I'm sure snowman3 from Dkos is nice and all, but again, I'll have to defer to the SPLC and LULAC. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #72

Oh. I see you can't find any reference to Sanders voting out of concern for the migrant workers in lunamagica Sep 2017 #73

That's snowman3's opinion, that doesn't make it the truth. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #74

Then show me where he said it lunamagica Sep 2017 #75

It's up to you to prove your allegation, it's not my job to disprove it. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #76

My allegation? You are the one alleging that he voted out of concern for immigrants lunamagica Sep 2017 #77

Here's a quote from an interview by Lou Dobbs that someone else posted earlier: George II Sep 2017 #86

Very convincing Lordquinton Sep 2017 #89

No, no, and no... George II Sep 2017 #90

Are you serious? Lordquinton Sep 2017 #92

As serious as the post I responded to. George II Sep 2017 #93

Oh, so you were serious... Lordquinton Sep 2017 #94

The quote is accurate as it stands, no context necessary and no spin put on it at all. As for... George II Sep 2017 #95

No, no and still no Lordquinton Sep 2017 #98

I provided the definition before you used that word. Who knows, it's possible (not likely)..... George II Sep 2017 #99

No, it's not Lordquinton Sep 2017 #113

Actually, anyone keeping up on this thread would have seen that I sourced the quote.... George II Sep 2017 #116

And back where we started from Lordquinton Sep 2017 #118

I assume that you're no longer doubting that Sanders said that to Lou Dobbs? George II Sep 2017 #119

lol, maybe next you'll be asked to prove there is something called CNN. R B Garr Sep 2017 #120

Or prove that there really IS a God? George II Sep 2017 #122

Yes, you used it correctly. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #106

What does any of that have to do with the discussion at hand? George II Sep 2017 #112

Excellent examples Lordquinton Sep 2017 #117

Yes, I saw that in the Lou Dobbs interview that is resurfacing now because of R B Garr Sep 2017 #109

Thanks. Barbara Boxer also agreed with Bernie: beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #26

How does that "shut Vox down"? Did Vox misquote Bernie? SunSeeker Sep 2017 #30

Some people can't reach climax unless they can attack Bernie. DRoseDARs Sep 2017 #22

Right? We should support the co-sponsor of the DREAM act now. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #24
