Reply #192: Way to NOT address Senator Clinton's affirmative vote [View All]

[DWilliamsamh]

She voted to give GWP power he had already proved he couldn't be trusted with. Try addressing that.

And while you're at it address the fact that she went even further in the Iraq vote buy voting AGAINST the amendment that would have REQUIRED President Bush to get UN approval and come back to Congress a second time for authorization before he actually invaded Iraq. She helped pave the WAY for the President to go to war without a shred of evidence - while admitting she had never even read the relevant NIE. She saw that as an expedient (at a time when President bush was at least somewhat popular) way of demonstrating her toughness.

Contrast that with Obama who at the time was trying to win a Senate seat in an environment that still demanded tough talk on terror - and made no bones about the impending invasion and beating of war drums being WRONG and ill advised on the facts.

Oh and BTW - isn't "you never change your mind" and "you never admit you were wrong" one of the things that got us into this horrid place in history in the first place? And isn't that one of the staples of Bush's immaturity? Are you saying that you admire Senator Clinton for adopting that attitude?
