I will defintely vote Hillary if she is the nominee
Up until then I'll still give my time and money to Obama.

I guess I could be a myopic whinybaby like those Hillary supporters "who just can't bring themselves to vote for Obama" despite the fact that the alternative is:

100 years in Iraq
A republican appointed AG to investigate the droppings of the Bush misadministration
Mcain getting to appoint the next 2 or 3 Supremos
Another 4 to 8 years of Republican rule
etc...
etc...

I guess I'm just not a whiny beeoyotch.

1. On To The Point in LA a republican analyst said this about Clinton (I paraphrase)
Dan Schurr said that Senator Clinton posed the greatest challenge to McCain. One of the other republicans on the panel said that McCain would not want to debate her with domestic issues. The first republican said that her record would make her hard to beat MCain on National Security. (my note: And, McCain IS National Security.) It was Thursday, January 31.

4. No, silly. He was saying she is hard to beat. Obama will have a tough time with McCain becasue Obama
has no track record.

5. Is he an employed analyst?
Cuz I think the point about Hillary's personal appeal, or lack thereof, to moderate Repukes and independents actually serving to unite their fractured party might also be a consideration.

But what do I know, I'm just a caveman lawyer.

10. You should probably listen to the podcast and look up Dan Schurr. HE's an old time republican.

15. You are right, I need to listen to more Repuke spinmeisters
to become more fair and balanced.

Maybe then I will understand why it's Hillary or no one else and that voting for the IWR wasn't really giving Bush a blank check to kill hundreds of thousands of human beings.

Yes, I'll log onto FOX right away and mend my stupid progressive brain.

6. Republicans as Br'er Rabbit
"Oh please don't let Hillary be the nominee, please!" Then they demolish her. What do they think we are, dumb? I guess they are worried about the CA vote going to Obama.

16. Were you posting on DU during the time of the IWR vote?
What were the posters on this board thinking about that particualr issue.

Did we see it as a technicality?

Or did we see it for what it was, a blank friggin check?

I'm really interested in seeing what your thoughts on the resolution were at the time.

18. The Senator was presented information. The Senator from NYC, the city hit the hardest, and the infor
IRaq has weapons of Mass destruction. Bush wanted congress to give him a resolution to go in if they found proof of that. They took the vote and rushed into war.

Hillary is the Senator from NYC. Yeah, I guess she could have said, "I think you are lying" They would have said but, here is the proof. she could have voted no and then the Republicans would have smeared her from here to kingdom come as soft on the terrorism.

Now, Obama wasn't in the senate at the time.

Since he has been in the senate he has voted for EVERY bill on the war she has voted for.

19. Oh you poor, poor, disallusioned child.
Edited on Sat Feb-02-08 01:14 AM by sidwill
You weren't posting on DU back then were you?

Because if you were you would have seen the avalanche of data that disputed the Bush Misadministration's bullshit cocktail of lies.

From UN weapons inspectors, to former Reagan admin turncoats, to our own CIA's analysis wich Tenet testified about n front of congress, to the plethora of investigative journalists from the US, UK and Europe who showed that Iraq had bupkus.

Do you really wanna know why Hillary voted for the IWR?

Do you really?

It was because she put her finger in the air to see which way the political wind was blowin and she did not want to leave herself open for Republican attacks on her being "soft on terror".

So she voted for the IWR despite knowing what WE ALL KNEW ON THIS FRIGIN BOARD that the whole thing was bullshit.

She voted for political cover and expediency, thats what she did.
Nothing more.
