Reply #31: I've never felt bad for hilary...she's [View All]

my senator and I among many called her office and pleaded with her to vote NO on the IWR. I was in NYC on Feb 15, 2003 protesting when the whole world said NO TO WAR but hilary with steel resolve turned her back on us. She had better things in mind for herself(she thought).

Frank Rich's article, "The Audacity of Hopelessness", in the NYT, highlights these moments of hilary's perfectly.

"It’s not just that her candidacy’s central premise — the priceless value of “experience” — was fatally poisoned from the start by her still ill-explained vote to authorize the fiasco. Senator Clinton then compounded that 2002 misjudgment by pursuing a 2008 campaign strategy that uncannily mimicked the disastrous Bush Iraq war plan. After promising a cakewalk to the nomination — “It will be me,” Mrs. Clinton told Katie Couric in November — she was routed by an insurgency."
