Has Has Senator Warren said anything about the Discrimination law passed in Indiana?

[Warren DeMontague]

126. Actually, that's a good question.

I supported Kerry in the primaries in '04, in particular because I thought he was the sensible choice, that his war hero record would innoculate our party from charges of being "soft on terror". In short, I was buying into the same sort of beltway conventional wisdom bs at the time that I suspect led HRC (and other Democrats, to be sure) to vote for that turd even though I know they knew it was predicated on lies, etc.

I was wrong, and after that election I came to the conclusion that we absolutely SHOULD have run someome who would have been able to speak with moral clarity about Iraq. Maybe we would have lost anyway, but we should have tried. At the very least it would have provided the public with a more stark and unavoidable choice regarding endorsing Bush's policies for another 4 years.

After that, no- i felt in 2008 that nominating someone who voted for the IWR was a bad idea, and at the very least the vote should be repudiated by our candidate, something Hillary never did. i would have had similar problems with Biden, etc. as nom.

At this point the IWR is not a dealbreaker for me, but i will be damned if I am going to forget about it or,even worse, accept some folks' assertion that the vote was an indication of shrewd political ability and as such a badge of honor. It is not.

If Liz Warren runs, which she probably won't, I wouldnt be surprised if people did ask her why she supported Reagan. That, too, is a legitimate question.
