...he can't vote for Hillary Clinton since she voted for the Iraq War.



He was just interviewed on CNN.

ETA - Thanks to a poster below, he said Clinton was for the Iran deal. My bad for mishearing. CP still helped lie us into a war and is not prez material, imo. But I stand corrected, thankfully.

1. He's going to lose. His win was a fluke with all the other 2010ers. nt

4. The poster child for the Iraq War *IS* Colin Powell. This guy is an idiot! If IL votes for him, they

deserve what they get.

Go Tammy D.!!!!

8. uh-oh, looks like i misheard him. but jeez....

10. Hillary had a big role in strengthening the sanctions treaty,

and I think she laid the groundwork for the recent nuclear agreement treaty negotiated by Kerry.

I don't see what his gripe is. The sanctions treaty did what it was supposed to do...get Iran to the table. Maybe he doesn't believe in diplomacy.

6. He might win

I notice MSNBC has a commercial that features him. He gets free advertising everyday, some people will look,at him and think he is a sane republican.

Even though we know there are no longer any sane republican nowadays in congress.

7. So very strange

It's like the Republicans have all decided, in their he-manly, thoroughly independent, don't need no help from nobody way, that the Iraq war is now a Bad Thing. I wonder when they all decided that? I mean, I was one of the dirty fucking hippies telling them that the Iraq war was going to be a very bad thing back in 2002 and 2003, and all I got from them was, "You're a dirty fucking hippie who doesn't know anything about anything. Shut up."

Now, they're all agreed that invading and occupying Iraq was not the greatest thing since sliced bread after all. Oh, and they all still agree that the dirty fucking hippies should just shut up.
