If You Break It, You Own It - Hillary's vote for the war is the defining issue for me

[JDPriestly]

32. She had been out of the White House only a short time.

She likes to point to her time in the White House as "experience."

Anyone in the White House in 1999 should have known the difference between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. She should have known.

And she did know. The Code Pink women told her the score on Iraq. There is a video of her speaking to them. There is a video (hard to find now) of them speaking back to her and telling her of what they experienced and saw visiting Iraq.

There is a video -- hard evidence of her walking out in a huff after being warned in a very quiet, kind way that a vote for the Iraq War would be a huge mistake.

This is not a matter of making a mistake. This is a matter of refusing to listen to rational, decent advice based on first-hand experience. This is a matter of Hillary's choosing to do the expedient, popular thing and not the wise, difficult but morally correct thing.

Hillary's vote for the Iraq War was proof of her failure to follow the moral high-ground.

Hillary's vote for the Iraq War is one of a number of decisions by her that have led me to the conclusion that she has poor judgment.

We do not need a president who, like the Bushes, has poor judgment.

We need Bernie. He follows the moral high ground on virtually every issue.
