Do you apportion blame to Sanders, due to his repeated votes of "yea" for war funding? Tarc May 2016 #101

Is voting to support troops in a war you voted against, the same as voting to start the war? EndElectoral May 2016 #104

Except that Clinton didn't vote to start the war. TwilightZone May 2016 #112

She gave George Bush carte blanche to invade with that vote. She knew he'd invade, as did everyone. EndElectoral May 2016 #116

Right, because context is meaningless. TwilightZone May 2016 #140
