Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren sellouts to Israel
Posted: September 3rd, 2014, 1:19 pm
I'm disappointed in both of them: they were probably, the only two Democrats I liked that was still in office. (The other's being Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel and Cynthia Mckinney who no longer are in office.)
Looks like AIPAC got control of them...

Well it looks like a lot of people are disappointed and no longer are in support of either politicians:

Warren has been on the receiving end of sporadic criticism over the years from progressives for a hawkish if hesitant approach to foreign policy, which she appears to prefer to avoid in favor of domestic economic policy.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), another favorite of progressives, has also come under fire from his base for his defense of Israel. A recent town hall got testy, with constituents and the senator exchanging harsh words, and Sanders ending on a note of resignation. "This is a very depressing and difficult issue. This has gone on for 60 bloody years," he said. "If you're asking me, do I have a magical solution? I don't. And you know what, I doubt very much that you do."
Well it looks like a lot of people are disappointed and no longer are in support of either politicians:
--She had my vote locked up. Until now. Sorry, cant go for IDF propaganda.
--Boy, did her stock go down with me. I turned away from Hillary six years ago because she was way too pro-Israel. As it turns out Obama hasn't been substantially better but unlike Hillary, that was unclear at the time. I wonder if there will ever be a credible candidate that I will agree with on this subject.
--Yes, mine too! I thought that she was going to be a True American. It seems that AIPAC can change water into wine! There is a word for when a foreign Power, or entity can shape, and control the politic, and the destiny of a sovereign nation - it's called OCCUPATION!
--Well she just lost my vote.
--Just lost my vote. Unhook your purse from AIPAC and put your big girl shoes on if you want to really succeed in the long term.
