Reply #19: I applaud your desire to stand up for Hillary, BUT.... [View All]

but I'm really uncomfortable with your admonition to "stop throwing her vote at her, as if her vote made a hill of beans difference." Why shouldn't Hillary have to answer for ANY vote, let alone IWR? And since when do we excuse politicians for bad votes based on the notion that their vote didn't make a difference? Should all politicians go with the flow and vote with the majority, rather than voting their consciousness or for what is right? Are we going to make excuses for folks who voted for PATRIOT and the suspension of habeus corpus because those bills were going to pass anyway and one person's oppostion wouldn't have made a difference?
