The point is it's not attacking Sanders for having the same position, it's the fact that now.... George II Jan 2020 #6

So this is "whataboutism"? Huh. OK, I get it. DanTex Jan 2020 #18

Not "whataboutism", more like "sameaboutism". Remember, we're talking about a single bill.... George II Jan 2020 #24

ICYMI: This is to point out the hypocritical attacks on Biden... NurseJackie Jan 2020 #11

I was told yesterday by a very good Biden supporter that when it comes to pointing there are fingers Autumn Jan 2020 #12

That's it? Seriously? NurseJackie Jan 2020 #28

Isn't this just "whataboutism"? DanTex Jan 2020 #16

Nope. It's pointing out hypocrisy. NurseJackie Jan 2020 #27

It's an "argument" (not really) on the hypocrisy of one candidate condemning another.... George II Jan 2020 #34

He voted for it. Period. And in 1995 he tried to get Democrats to increase the penalties in the bill George II Jan 2020 #36

Yes he voted for it, he supported the VAW act that was inserted into it. He was not happy he did. Autumn Jan 2020 #38

It's the same old, same old. A bad bill "I voted for it because it had something good", and then... George II Jan 2020 #39

BS voted for the 1994 CRIME Bill BAD!!!!! Cha Jan 2020 #43
