The Authorization to Use Military Force was not an authorization to use military force!!!!

I just want to get that clear before the debates in case Bernie intends to engage in "demagoguery"!

And while we're at it, don't confuse that with Hillary's repeated support of the Patriot Act which WAS, in fact, a patriotic act.

Is that understood? Good.

to try to change the FACTS which of course cannot be changed no matter how hard, how much money is poured into trying.

Hillary voted for the IRaq War PERIOD.

And I sure hope Bernie does get a chance to raise this FACT.

It's not like Clinton had just been through 8 years demonstrating Republicans are not responsible with power!

I felt compelled to comment on that thread and I already regret it. What a steaming pile of Orwellian shit.
