(5,276 posts)Her yes vote on war with Iraq. I've heard talkers who support her say she's handled it brilliantly by saying "I was wrong". Really?
It didn't take a brain surgeon to see that Iraq had zero to do with 9/11. But Hillary went with the herd to approve something unthinkable in the US, a first strike war, all to make Halliburton and others wealthier. It cost her the 2008 nomination but she gets a pass now? I see people who pushed back against that war as true heroes, as they did it in an insane time where unbelievably your patriotism was questioned if you even had any reservations about it. Phil Donahue was one who paid.
I see doing what is right as an important personal trait, way ahead of just going with the flow. That goes long with her being beholden to Wall Street.
