A vote for Hillary is a vote for more war.

It's way past time that we had a women as President.

But, I always thought that a women as President would advocate Peace.

'Disgusted by her neocon values. Indefensible by either a man or women.

He's not a pacifist despite what some of his supporters convince themselves.

There is a vast difference between Bernie and Hillary.

Bernie's view is one Americans can be proud of.

“We live in a difficult and dangerous world, and there are no easy or magical solutions. As President and Commander-in-Chief, I will defend this nation, its people, and America’s vital strategic interests, but I will do it responsibly. America must defend freedom at home and abroad, but we must seek diplomatic solutions before resorting to military action. While force must always be an option, war must be a last resort, not the first option."

Hillary supports and enables the war mongers.

Take profit out of our wars and they will end immediately.

The reason people contrast the two is because one did not advocate for a needless war and had the good judgement to foresee a great deal of the implications we are only now realizing.

Given our history, sending in advisors should raise some red flags.

I would vote for Elizabeth Warren. Not a CORPORATIST like Clinton. Male/Female has ZERO to do with who gets my vote. The stance on specific issues does.

PEACE
LOVE

That's all you've got?

"To his credit, Sanders acknowledged that the program was “wasteful” in his defense of it. The contention over the F-35 in his home state of Vermont is that the program is now responsible for jobs in his hometown of Burlington, "

This is not a vote for more war but simply keeping existing jobs.

Then, there's this...

She can see a light at the end of the tunnel.
We are turning the corner.
Only a few Friedman Units until every Terrorists turns them selves in to Guantanamo.

Go HILLARY!
FINISH all the WARS. Kill them all.
Try some "surges" and more Drone Mass murders.
You'll be right up there with your BFF and adviser, Henry Kissinger.
You might even be able to beat HIS Death Toll.
