stand up to George Bush. They chose Bush and the Republicans over their constituents, the American people, our troops, and the innocent Iraqi people. That's a documented fact. H. Clinton gave a speech about why we should go to war that was probably more convincing than any Republican. She reiterated the lies that the Republicans were spouting. At a time when we needed her support the most, she, not only caved, but whole heartedly stood behind the lying Republicans.

My point is why would we choose her over other candidates that have integrity?
