Debunking the big 'Bernie Sanders has a SuperPAC lie'

Bernie Sanders doesn't have a super PAC.

At least not in the sense implied by Politico's Kenneth Vogel, who

referred to the National Nurses United for Patient Protection as the

"super PAC backing anti-super PAC crusader Bernie Sanders."

The thinly veiled charge of hypocrisy is dead wrong.

I cannot support a candidate who stands for war, the TPP, cluster bombs, fracking, Wall Street, etc.
It mystifies me that some actually think anything they say about Bernie would override how I feel about the issues.

First sentence; I disagree with you on because it directly ties into Wall Street.

Second sentence; I agree.

Third sentence; I agree.

Just like Obama said about Clinton in 08, "Looks like we're into silly season."

It is fun to post about it and make fun of it though.

I posted a funny reply to someone asserting that Bernie was a billionaire fundraiser-type. They said something to the effect of, "Ohhh Bernie taking money from rich people. That's gotta make you mad." I was like...you're kidding, right?

Yes, I'm all broken up. Quick. Someone call my therapist and my meditation instructor.

Silly season on steroids.

I guess they feel that they're having some big effect on the universe when they post this stuff.

Who knows. I am highly entertained though, that's for sure.
