(15,657 posts)Her vote to give GW Bush authority to invade Iraq is inexcusable and unforgivable. Same goes for John Kerry and Joe Biden. If they really believed Bush would act in good faith and let the UN inspectors call the shots, they are fools who shouldn't be anywhere near the reigns of power. No. They were either on board with the neocon agenda or they stuck their fingers in the political winds of the time and decided it was better for their political careers to be war hawks rather than stand up and tell the American people they were being fed a pack of lies and Bush was misleading our country into a costly disaster.
Her close ties to the big players on Wall Street gives every indication she has no intention to change the rules of a game rigged in favor the same schemers who crashed our economy and got bailed out while average Americans lost their homes and livelihoods.
The only way I will vote for Hillary Clinton is in the general election if my state is in danger of flipping to whichever Rethug emerges from the clown car. I live in Illinois.
