Like claiming over and over again not to have a super pac, while actually having one? Is that what you mean by actions not corresponding to rhetoric? http://time.com/4261350/bernie-sanders-super-pac-alaska-millenials/

Or claiming not to raise money from Wall Street while hosting fundraisers for those very investment banks he claims not to have anything to do with? http://time.com/4261350/bernie-sanders-super-pac-alaska-millenials/

Or being cited repeatedly by the FEC for accepting what totals over $23 million in illegal campaign contributions?

More "6 degrees of Hillary Clinton" silliness. DanTex Mar 2016 #21
I'm continually amazed that Clinton supporters show no concern about things like this paulthompson Mar 2016 #22
Why would I care about these vague "links" to whatever. It's a silly game. DanTex Mar 2016 #23
No paulthompson Mar 2016 #24
They are incredibly vague. I give politicians money, and expect nothing personal in return, DanTex Mar 2016 #25
k&r. Thanks for posting. nt antigop Mar 2016 #26
