General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: What do you think would be a fair description of Hillary Clinton's political leanings? [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)at the time) I was very impressed with her than and wanted nothing more than to see her rise politically if for no other reason than to 'stick it' to the Far Right. But that is why I was so disappointed in her vote as I watched that night, desperately hoping as we all were, that Dems would stick together and not give Bush the power they gave him that night.
She has never explained her vote, other than to say it was based on the 'intelligence' they had. However that has been contradicted by Sen. Graham, I believe, a Dem, who has stated without equivocation, that some Dems refused to look at the actual Intel which was available to them and which he begged them to look at before casting that vote but some refused.
In good conscience I will not be able to support her or anyone who made such a terrible error in judgement, and so I am hoping we get someone who we all can support enthusiastically.
Anyhow, we will see, as you said. Meantime we have a Congressional election coming up which at this point I believe is way more important then the Presidential elections. We need Congress on our side regardless of who is in the WH.
Thanks again for a civil discussion.
