[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Bernie doesn't have a superPAC himself but he is accepting help from at least two superPACs. Liberal activists have praised Clinton's campaign finance reform plans, Steyer supports her climate and clean energy plans and Elizabeth Warren just declared her support for Hillary's Wall Street reform plans. You should be pleased by all of this, not dismissive, if you really care about these causes. [/quote]

The real problem is that Hillary says whatever will help her politically at any point in time. I really have no idea what she genuinely believes. Also keep in mind that of all the Republican and Democratic candidates, Wall Street likes Hillary the best - so that should tell you something about her convictions.

It is not without reason that a substantial majority of Americans don't trust Hillary.

To paraphrase what was once said about Nixon: "Would you buy a used car from her?" I would not but I'd have no hesitation buying one from Sanders.

Yes, we know this. You say it over and over. It's interesting that you choose to do it in a thread that is largely about reactions to the Sanders campaign inappropriately accessing Clinton campaign data. You have the Rovian thing down pat. [/quote]

I think there are several folks articulating several sentiments, and I am one.

I will say this:  When it comes to elections, I am not interested so much in the minutiae of campaigns. I am interested in a candidate's vision, ethics, policy positions, and my belief that they are a person of integrity--meaning the candidate (a) does not articulate positions or value that are anathema to mine and (b) will not turn on a dime in order to curry favor.  HRC is a second-place choice to BS, for me, for these two reasons.

IMO, this particular DNC/Sanders data access issue is a micro-blip. I do not believe this speaks at all to BS's campaign ethics or the general operation of his campaign.  Therefore, it is a non-issue to me.  The DNC reaction to it is, to my mind, extremely suspicious. And their step-back is also, to my mind, confirmation that this partisan love-fest they have going is suspicious, and they don't want to draw negative attention to themselves.  It does look like "Big Guys" trying to step on "Little Guy" and then realizing, "Ooh, we look like jerks--better back off."

Did someone do something that looks bad?  Yes.  Do I think it is indicative of the campaign BS is running or wants to run?  No. Do we want to dig out all of the crappy campaign activity that is happening within various Democratic campaigns... HAHAHAAAA: apparently some people don't.
