Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders fired up the crowd at the Iowa State Fair by tearing apart the hypocrisy behind Republican “family values.”

While speaking at The Des Moines Register Soapbox, Sen. Sanders shredded Republican family values.

Sanders said:

Many of my Republican colleagues talk about family values. Their family values are that a woman should not have the right to control her own body.

I disagree.

Their values are that our gay brothers and sisters should not be able to get married, or enjoy all of the benefits of American citizenship.

I disagree.

That my family values are, I’ve been married twenty-seven years got four kids, seven grandchildren. That my family values are that the United States has got to end the international embarrassment of being the only major country on Earth that doesn’t guarantee paid family and medical leave.

When a woman has a baby in this country, regardless of her income, she should be able to spend three months with that baby, getting to know that baby, love that baby.

That’s a family a value.

And when we talk about American values, when we talk about where we want to go as a country, I want to end the absurdity of the United States being the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee healthcare to all people as a right, and that is why I strongly support a Medicare for all single-payer system.

1. K&R.....

[whathehell]

2. Go on with your bad self, Senator Sanders!

[cyberswede]

3. That part of his speech rocked on the video stream

Lots of crowd cheering.

4. K&R.

5. Smart guy

Doesn't speak in negatives. He could have ripped Trump a new one by mentioning his three wives. Of course it was implied when he mentioned he had one wife.

[DrBulldog]

6. Meanwhile, Hillary didn't have the courage to show up at the Soapbox . . .

. . . she was too busy posing with food in her hands to bother answering questions from the "rabble".

[SoapBox]

8. I wondered if she was there...

Thanks for the clarification.

She's much, much too important! Was it some of the $2700 a plate food?!?

Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie!

21. Nice deep fried twinkies...

I mean, the first time I heard about deep fried Twinkies, I had visions of being rushed to the ER...

[tabasco]

7. Keep givin' 'em hell, Bernie!

It's very refreshing to hear.

[Moostache]

9. I LOVE hearing a candidate express my views so clearly!

No equivocation.
No waffling.
Just the plain, honest truth....

HRC may want to start practicing it more before we get the general....

[LibDemAlways]

10. Bernie's message resonates whether

he's speaking to a crowd in downtown L.A. or Iowa fairgoers because it's the same honest assessment of what most needs fixing. The 1% are running the show for their own benefit. That's got to change.

Candidates at the fair who merely walked through the crowd for photo ops did themselves no favors. Bernie got on the soapbox and delivered some powerful truths to an attentive crowd. When people stop to listen, they'll like what they hear.

11. Bernie wins the Iowa fair poll by wide margin....

When people get to hear him ...they vote for him.

[Fred Sanders]

13. What Iowa "fair poll" was that? Paul Pate...why does that name sound familiar?

http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/12/politics/iowa-straw-poll-canceled-killed/

From the booth set up at the fair, vote as many times as you like, that "fair poll"?

Pate, apparently the Secretary of State for Iowa - think about that- then posted on his personal but very official looking website to look like a fair poll?

All from this very Republican's Republican website fair polling: "Butter Cow Wins Most Anticpated Fair Attraction"!

If you value the truth you will value this:

"DES MOINES Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate plans to include a Presidential Straw Poll at his office's booth during the 2015 Iowa State Fair. The unscientific poll can be accessed via iPads at the booth, which will be located inside the Varied Industries Building at the State Fairgrounds. Real time results will be available on the Iowa Secretary of State's website."

19. Errors in judgment are the ones most often never admitted, am I right?

[L0oniX]

20. Are you admitting that you posted OLD bullshit from 2015.06.12?

[Indepatriot]

15. Haven't you heard? This is a setup by GOP operatives to fool naive liberals into nominating

a doddering old SOCIALIST so they can win the General Election. (Nevermind the 30 years of opposition research on HRC, and her already high and climbing negatives) Come to your senses! The GOP is shaking in their shitkickers at the prospect of facing that "Fighter for The Middle Class" Hillary The Multi-Millionaire....

12. Bernie rips of the mask of Repug hypocricy

and shows what true family values are. Valuing the fetus over the life of the mom and devaluing the baby once it's born is not a family value.

[stage left]

14. This is why I love Bernie Sanders.

Keep giving them Hell, Bernie. And it's so easy really. All he has to do is tell the truth.

[valerief]

16. I love when he pulls out the neglected single payer card!!! Woot! Woot! nt
