Poll question: Is it better to miss a vote that would pass and be right on the issue or to show up and be wrong? |

1. How can you "miss and be right?" You show up and you're wrong, or you miss. |

2. Hillary has been duped by Bush twice. That's all |
|
we need to know about her.
Clinton/Lieberman, anyone?

4. It's better to ACT upon your convictions and STAND for what you say you believe in. |
|
Let the chips fall where they may.

7. OK, so Hillary supports war with Iran |
|
Or she was fooled again. Call it whatever you want.

9. just answering your question, but I must say, if you applied a tenth the scrutiny to Obama |
|
that you do to Hillary, I think it would be an enlightening endeavor.

12. My point is that does Hillary really want to run on this issue? |
|
I'm happy to scrutinize Obama and I often do. I declared him too weak to be the nominee on 11/15. I declared him DOA for supporting drivers licenses for illegals on 10/30. (I remember the dates because that was after the debates.) You should even see what I said about Edwards the day his campaign was announced. I am an equal opportunity offender. Part of it is because I haven't chosen a candidate yet. I still cannot commit because I don't love any of them. But I can't resist getting involved when someone is unfairly attacked IMHO.

hillary has this covered..she's talkin' a mile minute defending her vote, so you see she wasn't really wrong because Iran has changed their tune!
Oh, the NIE reported Iran changed their tune in 2003! You don't say!
Never let them catch you changing your mind..where do they get this from? The bushit school of Iranian policy?

11. Missing key votes to avoid taking a stance is a copout of the biggest variety. nt |

...only two voted against the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution; how much guts did that take?
And how many voted against the initial Iraq war resolution?
I rest my case...

It's better to show up, and to be right on the issue.
Hillary is wrong on the issue.
We don't know if Obama is right or wrong; his words don't count. His actions do. A vote would have provided evidence for deciding if he is right or wrong. He was wrong not to cast it.

19. I prefer a senator who actually has the cojones to vote |
|
instead of complaining how he would have, could have, voted if meany Reid would have given him ample notice (unlike the other senators who must have shown up on a fluke). Please......

Dem candidates are in the middle of a debate.
I blame Reid for what happened yesterday - if that is what you are referring to.
