An Unabashedly Liberal Hillary Clinton [View all] Skinner Apr 2015 OP

There is so much more to being President than economic issues. MineralMan Apr 2015 #1

This is one video. I bet more are coming. Auggie Apr 2015 #4

Oh, yes. Many more. And each will be dissected MineralMan Apr 2015 #20

How about her voting for Bush's illegal war? Does that embarrass you? Dawgs Apr 2015 #7

That particular vote? No. Many Democrats I support MineralMan Apr 2015 #14

No one I know believed that WMD bs, yet she advocated for that war, not just voted it. merrily Apr 2015 #42

I opposed the Iraq war from the very beginning. MineralMan Apr 2015 #45

Looking ahead is good; so is looking back, otherwise nothing changes. mahannah Apr 2015 #58

Just a thought quakerboy Apr 2015 #186

I'm quite sure she will have to address that. MineralMan Apr 2015 #190

Extremely unlikely quakerboy Apr 2015 #196

It's actually neither, I think. DanTex Apr 2015 #191

You say neither, but then explain the second quakerboy Apr 2015 #197

Somewhere out there, there is a video of a Code Pink encounter about our invading Iraq. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #66

Is this it? I don't have sound on this computer so I don't know what they're saying arcane1 Apr 2015 #82

Yes. Hillary did not listen to the wisdom of the Code Pink women. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #104

I'll have to check it out later. Last week I rewatched her speech announcing her vote arcane1 Apr 2015 #111

It was a sickening example of brazen political expediency RufusTFirefly Apr 2015 #120

You are so right. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #169

Great post. And I'd love to see Warren run. RufusTFirefly Apr 2015 #180

Mr. Priestly, you have hit the nail directly on the head AikidoSoul Apr 2015 #187

Has she actually referred to her IWR vote as a "mistake"? Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #165

Yes. But that's like a politician who dismisses something she did last year... RufusTFirefly Apr 2015 #172

It's not about what she does it is about what she says. zeemike Apr 2015 #26

DU is proof of that. merrily Apr 2015 #32

It is probably those here who are not affected by the actions. zeemike Apr 2015 #36

That's true of some here. Some are in desperate situations. merrily Apr 2015 #39

Huge mistake, but, do you know a republican who is running who would have voted NO and NoJusticeNoPeace Apr 2015 #52

No, but I know many Democrats that are better than Hillary on that vote, and.. Dawgs Apr 2015 #55

Like who, who actually voted? NoJusticeNoPeace Apr 2015 #56

There are some that weren't in the Senate that I support. Dawgs Apr 2015 #92

I just heard a story about Hillary making me an even bigger supporter now NoJusticeNoPeace Apr 2015 #138

Not surprised. n/t Dawgs Apr 2015 #142

and it was what please? irisblue Apr 2015 #174

here NoJusticeNoPeace Apr 2015 #181

How about moving on? Can you manage that? vlyons Apr 2015 #59

Are you seriously telling me that I can't use her record to make a judgement? Dawgs Apr 2015 #63

so basically, you can't move on vlyons Apr 2015 #114

That one "mistake" cost our nation untold billions of dollars and thousands of lives derby378 Apr 2015 #168

But is punishing her for that 14 years later treestar Apr 2015 #184

This has nothing to do with "punishing" Hillary Martin Eden Apr 2015 #216

Utterly false equivalency Martin Eden Apr 2015 #226

amen demigoddess Apr 2015 #158

Let's look at some of these things then. rpannier Apr 2015 #195

Anyone who questions Hillary Clinton's policy choices is a troll? davidpdx Apr 2015 #210

They believe that. Chan790 Apr 2015 #224

Yeah, well that kind of behavior should not be allowed on DU davidpdx Apr 2015 #228

I don't disagree. n/t Chan790 Apr 2015 #230

Can I join? lark Apr 2015 #60

Hillary forever lost my vote with that ... Martin Eden Apr 2015 #62

The choice is between someone who has PROVEN to be UNFIT for office ... Martin Eden Apr 2015 #155

Next year's election campaign will be about more than a single issue (14 years ago) or... George II Apr 2015 #64

Ask all the dead and wounded if that "one vote" 14 years ago should be forgotten. Dawgs Apr 2015 #67

NOBODY said it should be forgotten! But to base an opinion of a candidate on one single... George II Apr 2015 #75

OK. I also blame her for her support of TPP, silence on Keystone, and friendliness with Wall Street. Dawgs Apr 2015 #89

And unless she apologies for and says she's changed her stance on this issue... cascadiance Apr 2015 #126

Bernie, Feingold and others were smart enough to vote and fight against it. Dawgs Apr 2015 #91

Are you including FDR and HST in that? Starboard Tack Apr 2015 #136

Yep. It was the one fault I could find with FDR. Dawgs Apr 2015 #143

So, even when your country is attacked, no war should be declared? Starboard Tack Apr 2015 #154

Yeah, we really should have overlooked that little thing like the attack on Pearl Harbor. George II Apr 2015 #175

So he lost your vote forever then treestar Apr 2015 #185

TPP, Wall Street, oh there are lots of issues... Katashi_itto Apr 2015 #98

It was the biggest foreign policy clusterfuck in half a century. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #166

It was a bad decision, but she has acknowledged that. I can accept that. n/t Adrahil Apr 2015 #202

I would have liked to have heard/seen more of HRC's liberalism prior to this erronis Apr 2015 #23

Oh, she won't be quiet now. MineralMan Apr 2015 #25

I totally agree with your approach. Much to listen to and analyze. [eom] erronis Apr 2015 #65

When she was in the Senate she had one of the most liberal records there. pnwmom Apr 2015 #61

Liberal? Hillary? Is that a sick joke? dolphinsandtuna Apr 2015 #68

Her advisers may be thinking that she needs to run to the left in order to try to totodeinhere Apr 2015 #70

She's an unabashed hawk on foreign policy. AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #76

Also, she co-sponsored (twice!) legislation that would've criminalized flag-burning. RufusTFirefly Apr 2015 #81

FWIW, the story was that she was blocking a Constitutional amendment doing the same thing. merrily Apr 2015 #107

You weren't alone in not buying it RufusTFirefly Apr 2015 #112

Honestly, I did not know what anyone said about it. It just made no sense to me. merrily Apr 2015 #115

Yet she is doing very well in thd polls for the nomination and general. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #121

Maybe the public is responding based mainly on recognition and doesn't really give a damn yet RufusTFirefly Apr 2015 #128

Or maybe they trust her to do the job. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #129

You forgot the sarcasm smiley RufusTFirefly Apr 2015 #135

What was the text of that amendment and the context in which the vote was taken? George II Apr 2015 #141

Are you asking me to do your research for you? RufusTFirefly Apr 2015 #145

No, but if one doesn't know the background behind a Senator's vote, how can one.... George II Apr 2015 #147

I just did a little research. As I surmised, it turned out to be a relatively benign vote. George II Apr 2015 #144

U.S. is a major financer of cluster bombs RufusTFirefly Apr 2015 #149

Was a ban on financing cluster bombs in the amendment? Again, the text and context would be useful. George II Apr 2015 #150

Frankly, I don't need additional reasons to oppose a Clinton candidacy RufusTFirefly Apr 2015 #152

One last time, without knowing what was in that amendment (was anything else attached to it?).... George II Apr 2015 #162
