Maybe I over analyze things but isn't Sanders sort of like stock plain jane girlfriend in sitcoms, who is only there to make the star look more attractive?




Doesn't Sanders' presence immediately move Hillary right of center in perception? Doesn't it force people to examine what her actual positions are?

It does gets. But these days Sanders isn't alone. He may be the only official socialist in Congress, but there are progressives who are as far or farther to the Left than he is. I really don't know if there's a dime's worth of difference between him and the California left-wingers like Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi and the dozens of others, or the Illinois leftists like Bobby Rush. Years ago Jerry Brown was considered Far Left, but today, without really changing any positions, he's almost a moderate considering how far the Democratic Party has moved.

Good thinking maybe the plan is to make Hillary seem like of a middle of the Road democrat. Especially with Bill campaigning for her.

Speaking of the Clintons....the "leaking" of this alleged domestic abuse story about Bill O'Reily seems to have the Clinton's prints all over it.

Clintons play harder than hockey goons.

There's also a story now that in the emails between Hillary and Sidney Blumenthal that she used a second personal email while Secretary of State when she said she only used one. She used both emails to conduct government business instead of using the government email address that she was supposed to have used. The former no. 2 guy at the CIA said in a recent interview that he has no doubt that foreign governments hacked both her personal emails, which is why she was supposed to have used only government emails.

It also turns out that Hillary knew of plots to kill the ambassador in Libya in revenge for killing bin Laden months before he was killed, putting the lie to the claim that it was because of a stupid video.

Here the Times of Russia shows Hillary's hacked emails: http://rt.com/usa/complete-emails-guccifer-clinton-554/

Here's the story of her second email addy: http://nypost.com/2015/05/19/hillary-clinton-had-a-second-secret-e-mail-address/

The corruption just doesn't stop.

Faithful, I don't believe "nothing" from Russia. Nothing.

Now she said today that she wants the e mails released- of course, those are the ones she already scrubbed up and got rid of the bad ones.

F1,

You're right about the lies and apparent coverups. Clintons make John Gotti call THEM teflon though.Part of things not sticking has to do with them silencing their biggest critics...the Oreilly leak was just a warning...Like I said, anybody who has followed the Clintons knows that they go hard in the paint.

The Clintons have nothing to fear. The die-hard Democrats are going to back them even if they grab some uzis and shoot up a kindergarten. Think about it: Bill was not only impeached but lost his law license and everyone knows he's been a serial wife-cheater for decades, but he is still the most loved Democrat out there next to Obama. He's made about $25 million in speaking fees alone (this is while his wife says that they're "poor").

Since Biden and Warren aren't running Obama is backing Hillary, although it seemed like the Obama administration was leaking some things about her a few months back. Maybe that's to keep her from criticizing him, the real Capo di Capi. The Republicans have no balls and have no interest in subpoenaing her server or servers, so the most they will do is ask questions and complain. The media (most of them, anyway) worship her and don't mind if she takes months to answer any questions, while in the meantime they'll stake out Rick Perry outside a bathroom to pepper him with questions.

Holy shit! A politician being untruthful! What in the hell is the world coming to!?!

I know! I know! What are to think? Politicians lying? Shading the truth? Withholding information? What's next? Football players using steroids? Married people having affairs? Where does this end? Madonne!

Man, two stupid replies in a row. What's the world coming to?!?

The point isn't just that "politicians lie," but rather that some lie and repeatedly get away with the lies. Football players using steroids can be fined, made to miss games, or even fired. Adultery often ends up with costly divorces. They get consequences for their actions. Sometimes these politicians lie under oath and expect no consequences while they hypocritically send to prison those who do the very same things but lack their political power.

The point about the Clintons specifically wasn't just that they lied, but that they broke laws. That's a difference so big that a blind man can see it (but sadly, some posters can't).

its no secret that bill Clinton lied under oath, and got away with it. that is my point, the Clintons have got away with so much that they don't think they can get away with anything, they know they can get away with anything.

the press has always treated them with a "hands off policy" and its shameful of the media.

I wasn't responding to you, Binnie. You get it. A few other people don't.

I don't think a new president has the power to undo much. Presidents come and go, but the power and influence behind them stays the same.
