Clinton Won't Commit on Iraq Deadline

[Placebo]

Source: Associated Press

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton voted Wednesday to advance legislation cutting off money for the Iraq war, then refused to pledge to support the measure if it came to a vote, then said she would.

At lunchtime, the New York senator and presidential candidate was asked repeatedly by reporters whether she favored the troop withdrawal legislation that had just come up for a procedural vote on the Senate floor.

Her answer: "I'm not going to speculate on what I'm going to be voting on in the future. I voted in favor of cloture to have a debate."

By supper time, she had a different answer.

"I support the underlying bill," she said. "That's what this vote on cloture was all about."

Stuff like this is why senators tend to make tricky presidential nominees.

1. .....women........

13. Sexist comment, no?

It's not because she's a woman. It's because she's a warmonger.

18. She first looks at "the polls" before she speaks. When the poll #'s turn..

..so does her answers. She was for the war before she was against it.... er whatever the #'s tell her to say.

2. I'm going to die of not surprise

It has nothing to do with being a Senator, and has everything to do with being a craven, triangulating powermonger.

[ixion]

7. exactly.

3. I think your right on the difficulty

of Senators navigating their way to final victory in a national election. Then I am sure there are others here that think its all the politicians fault, got nothing to do with the screwy American voters.lol.

4. Damn! Can she *ever* take a stand on principle rather than bend from day to day

based on sheer political expediency? Ack!!!!

5. Meet Nixon 2.0

I am just waiting for Hillary to say "new leadership will end the war" and that she has a "secret plan" for ending the war in Iraq.

If Hillary is elected she will just keep the war rolling on, because she could never do anything that she think might alienate the angry white assholes of America - who she seems quite convinced she can win over if she is just tough enough.

[silverojo]

14. And what's stupid about that?

She'll NEVER win over that voting bloc. They hate her, and always will. She's just alienating her base, and the majority of Americans who oppose this war.

Stupid, stupid, stupid....

6. So, she voted for it before she

[elocs]

8. This is too funny. I wonder how it will be explained away by the Hillary apologists? n/t

[jgraz]

9. What? The woman wouldn't commit on Habeas Corpus two days before the vote

And how many of her apologists had a problem with that?

[elocs]

10. Ahh, but there always is a rationale, a justification, a Macheavellian strategy

that the rest of us cannot see. We only need to wait to have our eyes opened and the brilliance will be revealed.

[jgraz]

11. Riiight...I'm still waiting for her husband's brilliance to be revealed.

:banghead:

12. Hilary, you had me at "I'm not going to speculate on what I'm going to be voting on in the future"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Placebo]

15. I love Hillary, but...

even I'll admit that's probably not a quote she's gonna be putting on any campaign material anytime soon.

Or ever.

:)

17. Why?

I'm not trying to be a dick (not that I have to try), but I'm seriously interested in why anyone would support her. She pulls this kind of stuff all the time and it's such a turn off to anyone looking for a real leader.

[HuffleClaw]

16. waffling opportunistic shill

should be right hilarious to see her 'debate'.

[rodeodance]

19. She voted with Russ Feingold--------that is all I need to know!

[Vinca]

20. Is she consulting her handlers before issuing an opinion?

Big, big, big mistake.
