He mentions abortion is something he can "agree to disagree" about. bettyellen Jun 2015 #5

"I know that there are differences in this room on abortion..." brer cat Jul 2015 #133
The OP revised after I posted that. merrily Jul 2015 #134
Thanks. brer cat Jul 2015 #135
You're very welcome. merrily Jul 2015 #136
Where? Where does he mention that? merrily Jun 2015 #41
Thanks , I didn't know he cosponcered this " Excluding Us " Act orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #53
They know his legislative record is great. That's why the OP reads as it does. merrily Jun 2015 #71
Are these people Hillary supporters or Koch Brothers ? orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #85
Oh by the way Merrily and Me are still waiting...Crickets orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #54

Before or after President Obama came out for it? merrily Jun 2015 #31
Notice how the attention is diverted from reproductive rights BainsBane Jun 2015 #39
It's weird how The convo veers to attacks on Clinton or Obama bettyellen Jun 2015 #62
Utterly predictable BainsBane Jun 2015 #68
You'll notice lgbt's got tossed under the same bus. okasha Jun 2015 #132
Stop saying that until you can post him saying that . orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #63
I was talking about YOU BainsBane Jun 2015 #66
Have you looked at his record? Seriously? think Jun 2015 #64
Have you read the article? BainsBane Jun 2015 #67
Yes. I sure did. think Jun 2015 #69
Then you don't need to point out his voting record to me BainsBane Jun 2015 #94
Delusional !! orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #82
How is it delusional? BainsBane Jun 2015 #95
Ack! gollygee Jun 2015 #2
Exactly my thoughts. I don't know if he just feels staying on economics only is more effective... bettyellen Jun 2015 #8
You keep indicting him with not one iota of evidence, you posted an article orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #60
His mention of abortion was to brush it aside as "differences" bettyellen Jun 2015 #78
Different , honestly not to be insulting, your saying he said something, by not saying it ! orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #84
He brushed off the abortion issue as one that is fine to "have differences" on.... bettyellen Jun 2015 #88
"not among Dems anyway" -- Exactly! That's the context you missed. thesquanderer Jun 2015 #104
Well it's difficult hearing a liberal candidate soft pedal the issue. bettyellen Jun 2015 #106
There are more people than you think who consider themselves both pro-choice eridani Jun 2015 #112
My candidate is JustAnotherGen Jun 2015 #12
I really like O Malley these days! No need to tippy toe here. ;-) bettyellen Jun 2015 #14

Aw, good on him for that. I hope he brings gun control to the forefront! bettyellen Jun 2015 #75

You like sticking words in his mouth? Wilms Jun 2015 #4
About nuclear war? Is quoting Sanders unfair to Sanders? bettyellen Jun 2015 #6
Quoting is one thing. Editorialized parapharasing another. Wilms Jun 2015 #21
The context is he did brush aside the issue. When he addresses it during his campaign- with loud and proud support bettyellen Jun 2015 #22
To me it looked like he was on their case to vote for him. Wilms Jun 2015 #47
True- but does this mean he's sacrificed speaking out on abortion now bettyellen Jun 2015 #48
"Speaking out"? Wilms Jun 2015 #83
It's a life and death issue for women- tied more closely to their economic success than bettyellen Jun 2015 #86
I do hear you. Wilms Jun 2015 #99
In glad to read he spoke out about maternity leave too. bettyellen Jun 2015 #100
Well, yeah. They have paternity leave in parts of Europe. Wilms Jun 2015 #101
But they wouldn't trade places either. Paternity leave would be awesome too. bettyellen Jun 2015 #102
And that touches a huge subject for me. Wilms Jun 2015 #105
The Clintons have every word and action parsed to pieces. yallerdawg Jun 2015 #7
We've looked the other way many times for Hill & Bill . orpupilofnature57 Jun 2015 #10
Well, we should give Senator Sanders (I-VT)... yallerdawg Jun 2015 #11
He is rated the most liberal Senator in general and NARAL has given him a rating of 100%. merrily Jun 2015 #32
Good article. DCBob Jun 2015 #9
Purely economic class-based appeals are not a problem now, but they will be. Fred Sanders Jun 2015 #13
Now, if only the Sanders supporters would actually discuss this without dragging in Clinton KitSileya Jun 2015 #15
We will get the standard response to look up his record- and it misses the point. bettyellen Jun 2015 #16
Yes. And his response to the 1972 essay was also disappointing. KitSileya Jun 2015 #23
I think you miss the point. Having a 100% rating from NARAL means he's stuck his neck out on this merrily Jun 2015 #33
So why doesn't he speak to it- why go to Wisconson and ignore it? bettyellen Jun 2015 #40
He HAS spoken to it many times. Again, I ask, could you please post the language from your OP in merrily Jun 2015 #42
I fixed the wording for you. bettyellen Jun 2015 #49
What the fuck? ismnotwasm Jun 2015 #17
At some point I have to assume shying away from women's issues is calculated. bettyellen Jun 2015 #19
Please see Reply 32. He has shown nothing but support for civil and human rights and reproductive merrily Jun 2015 #34
Your subject line is false & misleading. CrispyQ Jun 2015 #24
On abortion: "Fine, lets have our differences". Would Sanders have the gall to say that to a more bettyellen Jun 2015 #25
Is that all you have? CrispyQ Jun 2015 #27
If and when Sanders address these issues while campaigning we will have more. bettyellen Jun 2015 #28
He should say this, he should say that. Blah, blah, blah. CrispyQ Jun 2015 #36
His campaign is all words..... Yet they don't matter to you. Fine by me. bettyellen Jun 2015 #37
Whose campaign is NOT all words? The rest of his career has been deeds. merrily Jun 2015 #46
Yeah, I dunno why that poster would say they don't matter. But point taken bettyellen Jun 2015 #50
So, HE did NOT say "agee to disagree?" Those were your words, YOUR paraphrase? merrily Jun 2015 #43
Is there a meaningful difference there? I can edit but to me bettyellen Jun 2015 #45
I think there is. Also the hit piece linked in the OP doesn't give a lot of context. merrily Jun 2015 #52
He is not being treated as a misogynist or a racist- THAT is an UGLY LIE. bettyellen Jun 2015 #55
Not a lie at all, midear. He's treated on DU like a bigot on a daily basis. merrily Jun 2015 #59
Nope. Ignoring race whe stumping is discussed as problematic... bettyellen Jun 2015 #70
"NOT GOOD ENOUGH" BULLSHIT WHAT THE FUCK? NEVER MENTIONED IMMIGRATION. None of that is discussing merrily Jun 2015 #72
He's finally addressing immigration while campaigning.... bettyellen Jun 2015 #74
Totally untrue. For just one thing, Bjorn Against posted a video of him giving a 20 minute speech merrily Jun 2015 #77
The criticism is about how he chooses to campaign - get it? bettyellen Jun 2015 #80
My comment went to Gutierrez's lie about Sanders and how DU jumped on it as though it were gospel. merrily Jun 2015 #109

Buried in the hit piece that is linked in the OP. merrily Jun 2015 #26
Don't you know? Depaysement Jun 2015 #29
I thought my post also covered the "what he says" issue. merrily Jun 2015 #38
Dirty tricks indeed Depaysement Jun 2015 #51
It's not buried because it's not a hit piece. Lol. bettyellen Jun 2015 #103
If you believe that, you may not know how to recognize a hit piece. merrily Jun 2015 #108
I also pointed that out to bettyellen in GD before she came and posted this OP... Violet_Crumble Jun 2015 #118
No. Not okay. BainsBane Jun 2015 #35
Apparently not entirely true, either. merrily Jun 2015 #44
What is not true is that anyone called Sanders a misogynist- I fixed my OP so you could do us the bettyellen Jun 2015 #57
Stop it. I didn't any DUer actually CALLED him a misogynist. Please stop pretending I did. merrily Jun 2015 #61
The parsing begins! Treated as a misogynist or called a misogynist- all the same. bettyellen Jun 2015 #65
I don't think Sanders is a misogynist or a racist ismnotwasm Jun 2015 #73
Exactly - they are attacking the SJWs they were always dismissive of..... bettyellen Jun 2015 #76
