Just wondering whether the hillary folks realize how asinine their pinocchios thing is.

Oh and kudos to the Reagans on their HIV/AIDS work. I know they were helpful. Hillary told me so, and she wouldn't make stuff up in order to pander.

nobody cares about the senate campaign in VT and he has never been vetted. He is being vetted now. His writtings about women. His tax returns, his trying to dump nuclear was on poor Mexicans in TX. His allowing his followers to boo Hillary at his rallys. His saying she is unqualified, his inability to answer simply questions about his own policies. None of that is Hillary's fault.

Hillary has some actual huge problems with money from foreign investors and gun deals from those investors. Uranium deal with Russia while getting millions from Russia. All while being Secretary of State. What is your problem? These things are huge and that is not all that there is. Get a grip! Hillary Clinton has some serious issues that will rain down on the American people if she is elected?

Don't you care about more wars? Hillary Clinton will lead this country into more wars. She's a hawk. She voted for the war in Iraq, she was behind Libya, she was instrumental in Honduras and Haiti...all disastrous. She cannot wait to get her hands on Syria. You people may as well call yourselves Republicans...hell she loves Henry Kissenger.

you are unaware of the hundreds of posts I have penned about those very subjects, and some other serious issues about the Direction of the Democratic Party that you probably haven't even considered yet.
Just for you gratification, here is an OP I posted this week titled:
[font size=3]
"Cleaning Up Hillary’s Libyan Mess"---Robert Parry, April1, 2016
[/font]
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511647122

You should go read that thread. That is one I have fought and posted regularly about since it was just a glimmer in Hillary's eye.
There are many, many more, if you bother to check.
I was one of the original Democrats here who OPPOSED the bombing and Invasion of Afghanistan because a handful of Saudi criminals were hiding in some Warlord's desert. The thousands of innocent Afghans should not have had to pay with their lives for something the vast majority knew nothing about.

I posted an OP back then titled:

[font size=3]"Drop Big Macs, Blue Jeans, and $100 bills, NOT Bombs!"[/font]
because that would be more effective, productive, and cost effective than what we did and are still doing. I was one of the few who stood with Barbara Lee on this issue. She was the only member of Congress to vote against that cluster fuck in Afghanistan....and I stood with her.

Today is Saturday.
Sometimes I joke and use sarcasm because if I'm serious ALL the time, I would
have had to kill myself during the 1st Clinton Administration.
It is healthy to joke every now & then....besides, the Hillary Club, in their desperation, have made a parody of themselves the last couple of weeks. I find it Hillaryous, and impossible to take them seriously, though I DO take election fraud and the sell out of the DNC by DWS VERY seriously.
so lighten up a little, and do some research before attacking a member of DU for not caring about WARS or serious issues. You couldn't be more wrong about me.

Try some of these:

The Arkansas Democratic Primary of 2010 was a heart breaking eye opener for the Grass Roots and Organized LABOR.

Theirs is clearly, by far the least trusted of ANY of the Presidential candidates, including the swine on the GOP side.

Clearly by far, Senator Sanders is the MOST trusted. It makes their heads explode to hear the truth, so they exist in cognitive dissonance pretending that this shit plays with anyone outside Camp Lying Liars.
