Robert Scheer on Hillary Clinton (he's not a fan)

[Carolina]

70. He is spot on

However, I think the one inconsistency in his comments is making Kerry a peacemaker versus HRC. They both voted for IWR, a callous, finger-in-the-political-wind move due to their POTUS aspirations; a move that makes both of them ultimately culpable for the death, debt, destruction and destabilization that war of choice has caused. And for those who counter that Bush would have gone to war anyway, I say fine, but then it would truly have been HIS war. Instead, Democrats like Kerry, Edwards, Clinton, Biden, Dodd -- the would be presidents -- showed political cowardice and poor judgment and provided Bush with bipartisan cover. Here at DU, we knew better than to believe the Bush lies, and Democrats like Edward Kennedy (a real liberal!), Bob Graham (of FL who even now points correctly to the Saudis), Robert Byrd and others not only cautioned their peers about such haste (casting their votes just before the 2002 midterm elections) but warned like canaries in the mine about the long term consequences.

I will never vote for:
- the mistress of triangulation
- the woman who helped found the DLC
- the woman who is thin-skinned and resorted to kitchen sink tactics against BHO in the 2008 primary campaign when she assumed her name and money would be sufficient until Super Tuesday proved her wrong and she proceeded on to California because you never know, remember Bobby Kennedy
- the woman who in that same primary campaign praised McCain
- the woman who brought Dick Morris into the White House in 1996 re-election campaign
- the woman who shilled for Walmart
- the woman who considers for economic advice the likes of Larry Summers that super Wall Streeter and super loser who lost a billion dollars from Harvard as its president and had to be ousted from that lofty perch for insulting women. Still, he continually fails upward with the Clintons and sadly for a time with BHO!
- the woman who claims the Clinton record (Bill's governship and presidency was considered her 20 years of experience in 2008) when it is to her advantage, but does not decry the Clinton legacy of NAFTA that job sucking travesty, the Gramm-Bliley-Leech Act which overturned Glass-Steagall, the Telecommunications Act which helped consolidate the horrid media we have now, Welfare Deform which has deepened the abyss of poverty

I have so much more to say against this candidate, but I am too tired to write any further. Suffice it to say, if she's the best the Democratic Party can offer at this critical time in history, then we're fucked. And perhaps the country needs to hit rock bottom so some semblance of a phoenix -- a new and LIBERAL phoenix -- can arise.

Go ahead and flame me, I really don't care.
