it would be no better if he were the most honest man in the world. The fact that he wants to abolish Medicare should be enough to reject him.

That link doesn't lead to that story JackInGreen Nov 2015 #1

It works on my end leftofcool Nov 2015 #2

Another article. Maybe this link will work. DURHAM D Nov 2015 #64

You guys didn't mind it when he blasted the media for its obsessive focus on Hillary's emails. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #4

They don't get that the media should focus on the issues, not the person. Autumn Nov 2015 #10

They WANT media to avoid the issues because that's where Clinton is weakest. arcane1 Nov 2015 #68

They want everyone to focus on Carson's lies instead of hers. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #74

Kind of like the media focused on the lies about Hillary's email's relevance to Bengazi... cascadiance Nov 2015 #79

That's a really good point, and one I think Bernie tried to make as well. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #80

We know how he feels about the media leftofcool Nov 2015 #13

He's not complaining about "exposure for himself". beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #18

It's pretty simple. Let this repug self-destruct and lose votes with his lying brush Nov 2015 #119

Ah, but then he brought those emails back up as a valid issue. PICK A LANE KittyWampus Nov 2015 #89

The investigation is a valid issue, creating a scandal out of it isn't. beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #91

As if this would not be said if/when the media decides to dig through Hillary's last 20/30 or so djean111 Nov 2015 #5

If / when? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2015 #7

The media has been digging through the Clintons' lives ever since they entered politics. pnwmom Nov 2015 #9

I believe Bernie is against this being done to any politician. n/t djean111 Nov 2015 #15

He's saying now that the email situation is an issue of character for Clinton. pnwmom Nov 2015 #30

Ben fucking Carson??? boston bean Nov 2015 #36

Interesting, vetting is part of the process for a presidential candidate. The Clintons has been Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #45

Do you feel the same way about Hillary's lies? beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #73

What about when Bernie said he would be a hypocrite if he ever joined the Democratic party??? Walk away Nov 2015 #111

How about her lying about why she supported DOMA and why she wanted to go to war with Iraq? beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #112

How about Bernie's claim to have "worked hard" supporting Barack Obama.... Walk away Nov 2015 #120

You would like him to blast Carson's lies but not Clinton's? Doctor_J Nov 2015 #75

Reagan was a strong and very public advocate of ending Social Security and Medicare pnwmom Nov 2015 #94

Carson should be called out on that, but the title of the OP and the article are misleading. Cheese Sandwich Nov 2015 #95

Reagan openly campaigned on getting rid of Social Security and Medicare pnwmom Nov 2015 #97

True or False: "Reagan openly campaigned on getting rid of Social Security" ? Cheese Sandwich Nov 2015 #100

Then maybe you should have done another 30 seconds of googling. pnwmom Nov 2015 #104

Carson made it an issue by putting it in his book. DCBob Nov 2015 #98
