...like every thread that has the name Hillary Clinton in it is like Groundhog Day. Full of the same petty, and juvenile attacks on her, with one trying to outdo the other in what they somehow perceive as being clever. Admittedly, I might have found some of them so when I was in junior high........and if I found it amusing to smear and belittle another human being who was the recipient of such nonsense.

BREAKING: Hillary Clinton says she opposes construction of Keystone XL oil pipeline [View all] Catherina Sep 2015 OP

Sounds principled to me. According to many here, she is taking oil company "bribes" and Hoyt Sep 2015 #1

She's a day late and a dollar short -- as usual. n/t nichomachus Sep 2015 #3

How is she "a day late and a dollar short"? Have they started building the pipeline yet??? George II Sep 2015 #77

With all due respect, floriduck Sep 2015 #92

I don't have that answer - why not share that with us? George II Sep 2015 #125

Sometime prior to today but later than her 2010 statement supporting it. floriduck Sep 2015 #131

As usual, great observation from a friend japple Sep 2015 #88

It won't be the first time a politician said one thing when running and another when Skwmom Sep 2015 #5

The party is now united on this vital issue a year before the election. Credit where credit is due. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #28

Kind of like Sanders when he said he was in favor of gun control yet voted.... George II Sep 2015 #79

He voted on a sound principle not to "protect" gun manufactures. raindaddy Sep 2015 #100

He voted for gun control and he voted against the Iraq war, so no, not like that. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #101

So if she does the right thing, some here will still ONLY bash her. randys1 Sep 2015 #7

Do the wrong thing...BASH....the right thing....BASH...thereby losing all credibility on everything. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #24

Putting aside the BASHERS, I do fear the reason she is saying this now is she knows randys1 Sep 2015 #30

Since Obama vetoed the Congressional bill, I doubt you will have any reason to. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #35

That bill was to force the approval. THere is still a chance approval will happen, as far as I know randys1 Sep 2015 #40

Overlooked at DU frequently-no, always Capn Sunshine Sep 2015 #66

BINGO! George II Sep 2015 #95

Who knows. Capn Sunshine Sep 2015 #107

This was a remarkable a change since just the end of this past July. Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #136

I posted this in June 2013: Keystone and the Clintons. AtomicKitten Sep 2015 #141

To answer my previous question two things we know for certain that have changed since late July Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #145

Some will. That's life. Most will not. Ed Suspicious Sep 2015 #84

"Most will not." That certainly isn't the case in this thread. George II Sep 2015 #126

Notice how when these folks are WRONG ... they take credit for stopping ... JoePhilly Sep 2015 #12

Keeps me laughing. Hoyt Sep 2015 #14

If I had a dollar for every time this happened at DU Capn Sunshine Sep 2015 #67

Is Obama the guy who just ok'd drilling in the arctic and then made a speech about the environment? ish of the hammer Sep 2015 #102

Good for her ram2008 Sep 2015 #2

Yep. Maybe she'll catch up by election day. n/t nichomachus Sep 2015 #4

Politicans say a lot of things. Sometimes 2 opposites at once. Catherina Sep 2015 #11

Bernie Sanders is a politician....one who couldn't even decide upon a party until he needed it! George II Sep 2015 #81

Except his message has been consistent while Hillary has been "evolving" her whole career. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #85

The subject is the Keystone XL Pipeline. When was she in favor of it? George II Sep 2015 #94

When you need to evolve on civil rights you can't claim the high ground, Bernie got it right. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #97

Reminder (again) - the subject is the Keystone XL Pipeline, not civil rights. George II Sep 2015 #124

Straw man. Did I say she was in favour of the pipeline? She did say she was inclined to support it. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #127

Catherina made the snide comment about politicians in general, I pointed out that.... George II Sep 2015 #128

Stop telling me what I'm saying, George and stick to what you do know. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #130

She never said she would support it. Period. She also said that she would wait to see what... George II Sep 2015 #133

She said she was inclined to support it. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #135

He voted with the Democrats almost 100% of the time. eom Duval Sep 2015 #116

LOL pinebox Sep 2015 #120

How about that; faking a north wind (from Canada) while helping to privatize the Mexican DhhD Sep 2015 #122

WOW! marym625 Sep 2015 #6

I'm not either. I don't trust her. 840high Sep 2015 #112

Not one iota marym625 Sep 2015 #146

BREAKING: DU finds a way to criticize Clinton for saying the right thing. zappaman Sep 2015 #8

+1. Hoyt Sep 2015 #10

Half of DU will be taking credit for stopping her from doing this evil thing JoePhilly Sep 2015 #15

Easily predicted, you have to admit. If Clinton found the cure for cancer...same treatment as Obama. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #20

Yep! Each one trying to outdo the next one. leftofcool Sep 2015 #58

So predictable lunamagica Sep 2015 #90

Good! nt MannyGoldstein Sep 2015 #9

Thank you, Manny. The adult response on a vital issue the entire Party is united on. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #25

Focus groups must have finally come back with her deeply held beliefs. (nt) jeff47 Sep 2015 #13

I personally think that neither she nor Obama want to be left holding the bag. DisgustipatedinCA Sep 2015 #144

We're already beyond that point. jeff47 Sep 2015 #147

Yay! She evolved again!! Tierra_y_Libertad Sep 2015 #16

It's like watching a snake change it's skin Catherina Sep 2015 #17

Really, did she used to be for it? DanTex Sep 2015 #23

As Secretary of State, she said she was inclined to support it. Luminous Animal Sep 2015 #42

Are you quoting her? Nt Bounzer Sep 2015 #76

...... Luminous Animal Sep 2015 #121

"But we are inclined to do so" beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #123

Glad to finally have an opinion. bunnies Sep 2015 #18

Predicted DU responses: Too little too late. Hope she keeps the promise. She is a weather vane. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #19

It's much easier to predict posts after they've been posted. Back to the Future! merrily Sep 2015 #51

"We forced her to change positions" JoePhilly Sep 2015 #103

woah dang! frylock Sep 2015 #21

And another Hillary-bashing talking point bites the dust. DanTex Sep 2015 #22

And several more motes rise from that dust, as you can read on the thread. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #27

virtually every clinton supporter on DU has told me that she couldn't possibly cali Sep 2015 #26

She needed the poll results from the states in play. n/t Skwmom Sep 2015 #29

UNREC'd...I did Rec........until the edits bashing the decision. Give credit where credit is due is Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #31

now was that so fucking hard? ibegurpard Sep 2015 #32
