In reply to the discussion: The real reason Bernie's supporters are being attacked is because they are very effective [View all]rhett o rick
(55,981 posts)106. I agree I don't know what her motivation is but it sure looks like
she favors oil company profits over people's water. I may be wrong, but you have nothing to refute my explanation. You seem to want to ignore the damage that fracking will cause and justify it because you don't know. You are siding with oil companies over people but justifying it because you don't know the facts.
I ask that you open your eyes to what the corporations have done in the last 40 years and are going to continue to do unless we put a stop to it. The status quo is killing our children, our troops and our seniors. Goldman-Sachs and Wall Street is stealing our wealth and you don't seem to care.
