2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Woman who supports torture and the death penalty calls for more kindness. [View all]Divernan
(15,480 posts)65. Those cluster bombs remain after the wars end! Duh!
And I think it's a TERRIFIC hill - None - Not a single one - of HRC's supporters have ever been able to offer a defense of her pro cluster bomb vote.
Nor has the self-proclaimed, alleged lifelong champion of women and children, ever offered a word of apology or explanation of it.
Here's the reality - and don't you dare forget it!
Shrapnel peppered their bodies. Blackened the skin. Smashed heads. Tore limbs. A doctor reports that all the injuries you see were caused by cluster bombs. The majority of the victims were children who died because they were outside.
Even after wars subside, after treaties are signed, after belligerents return home, cluster bombs wreak havoc on civilian life., only to become landmines that later explode on playgrounds and farmlands. Children are drawn to cluster bomb canisters, the deadly duds that look like beer cans or toys before they explode.

The point is that valuing a candidate based on sex, race or religion is not getting us anywhere.

If you said similar things about Bernie, you'd have no historical record to back them up.
