Lest we forget, [View all]

There's been some serious buzz around and about concerning Hillary as the Democratic nominee in '16. The same Hillary Clinton who voted for the Patriot Act, and the Iraq War Resolution.

Which means that she either agrees with the need to get the US into needless wars, or she was dumb enough to be fooled by Bushboy.

Either way, that simply doesn't make her a fit candidate for the office of the President.

Better get your alternative off his / her ass then. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #1

So, do you think that such blunders on her part make her a fit candidate for the office? n/t MadHound Mar 2013 #2

Let's see ... if she had beat Obama in the primaries, I'd have voted for her. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #3

I voted for Hillary Clinton in the primaries. ananda Mar 2013 #4

I think she's actually to Obama's right, and far more hawkish, but that's irrelevant. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #6

So you're essentially saying that you'll vote for anybody, MadHound Mar 2013 #8

So you've have no alternative, got it. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #18

You stated that you thought that Hillary was to the right of Obama, MadHound Mar 2013 #20

You make a lot of assumptions. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #23

Speaking of assumptions, you make quite a few yourself, MadHound Mar 2013 #24

I think I already explained how I vote up thread. Maybe you missed it. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #31

You've explained it quite clearly, MadHound Mar 2013 #33

Yes, as I explained, you have no alternative. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #37

LOL, there's always alternatives, MadHound Mar 2013 #38

The good news is that others in the thread have actually proposed a few alternatives. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #40

Really? MadHound Mar 2013 #7

What is your opinion of a better alternative? MadHound Mar 2013 #5

Since I'm not a one issue voter, I'd be comparing across a very broad landscape of issues. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #10

I'd agree with all of that. nt. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #45

That doesn't answer the question does it? el_bryanto Mar 2013 #9

Don't know yet, MadHound Mar 2013 #15

Its your OP, you brought up Hillary, making whether she has "thrown her hat in the ring" JoePhilly Mar 2013 #21

How many pundits are out there pushing somebody else besides Hillary? MadHound Mar 2013 #22

See, here's how it works ... JoePhilly Mar 2013 #26

Ooo, such a nice condescending tone you've got there, MadHound Mar 2013 #29

I set my tone to match the person I'm responding to. JoePhilly Mar 2013 #41

Yes I will support someone dumb enough to get fooled by Bush or agree with him el_bryanto Mar 2013 #28

Then you're not terribly discriminating, are you? MadHound Mar 2013 #32
