Bernie voted against Brady Bill and is very Pro-Israel
So, what do his supporters have to say about that? Or is that just inconvenient for liberals? I, personally, have concerns about both. However, I know there is no perfect candidate.
Should we bash on him day in and day out for these two issues? Seems HRC gets bashed because Bill passed NAFTA. Should we harp on this regarding Bernie like we harp on HRC about Bill's politics?

1. God no, we should NEVER bash ANY democrat given our situation with a group of insane ****s on the other side.
Criticize and question, yes.
But we can deal with the cons in our party when we get rid of the insane assholes trying to destroy all life on the planet
NJNP is probably a fat middle aged lesbian living alone in a 700 Sq.ft apartment trying very hard to be a militant black homosexual man.

2. I don't know about the Brady Bill but I've known for quite some time that he's as bad on Israel as basically every other Democrat and Republican out there.
Feel free to 'bash' him on whatever you want.

109. I don't know why he voted the way he did, does anyone have information about it?
Has he expressed his reasoning somewhere? I am not surprised he supports Israel but to be honest that could mean anything. Does he support the Idea of Israel but not their hard right actions? I will have to learn more before I have an opinion.
Bernie has very good positions and I'd like to hear his side of things.
Supporting Israel could mean anything? Really?

3. lol. and Hillary is even more pro-Israel, Mags.
I think you know what I say as I penned an OP about the gun control issue.
No shit there's no perfect candidate, Mags.
And bash away, Mags. That's what you've been doing since he announced.
I love the smell of hypocrisy on a May Eve.
Hillary is about as pro-Israel as she is hetrosexual.

6. And yet he is still the most liberal of the choices so far.
Doesn't that make him the "lesser of two evils" in the primary?

13. Supporting Israel is regrettably a non-negotiable position when it comes to DC.
All but a very, very few have to pucker up and kiss the ass of a foreign power halfway around the world, no matter how racist or belligerent it is.
Clinton will pander hard on Israel as well.
Like China? Like Russa? Like Iran?

88. I like that Obama gives Israel....
.... The middle finger though. Aren't you? I will miss that when he's out of office.
Yup- our one real ally in the ME and Barry tells them "****, you!" daily.

120. I will bash any Democrat who walks into a campaign with an arrogant sense of entitlement.
I don't care who the **** they are, if before the primary even begins there's an "inevitability" thing about them, I will fight them to the core.
She did this in 2008 and I sent money to Obama.
Lot's of it.
And this year it's exponentially worse.
Not just "no" to Hillary, ****ing HELL NO!
Skippy will soon sleep with teh fishes. What does Mrs. Skinner think about this?
http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/BODIES.htmlThe Clinton Body Count, as it is popularly known, is a conspiracy theory that Bill Clinton, while he was president and before, was quietly assassinating his associates (often anyone who got in the way of his career, such as Vince Foster). It was started as a retaliation to the Bush Body Count (which ostensibly had various members of the Bush family responsible for events like JFK assassination and the October surprise killing lesser co-conspirators on their way). The Clinton Body Count is a list of about 50–60 associates of Clinton who have died "under mysterious circumstance". The individuals named originated from a list of 34 suicides, accidental deaths, and unsolved murders prepared in 1993 by the pro-gun lobby group American Justice Federation which was led by Linda Thompson. The list was posted to the group's Bulletin board system. A later investigation revealed that many deaths had detailed records, and that assassination was unlikely. It also argues a political leader can have a loosely defined circle of associates, some who are at greater risk for death either in the military or a high-stress job that can lead to suicide
