Don’t Do It, Hillary! Joining Forces With Neocons Could Doom Democrats

6. It's who she is, unfortunately, I think.

She's a hawk down to her very core.

But this isn't 1968 and American attitudes aren't the same. I don't think you can say with confidence that what happened then will happen today. Mainstream Republicans have been clamoring for more war incessantly. The GOP has its isolationist wing and the Democratic Party has its anti-war wing, but they're minorities in both parties, I'm sure.

Looking closely at public opinion surveys on questions of national security and counter-terrorism, it seems to me that GOP voters prefer bomb-first ask-later by a wide margin and the typical Democratic voter is much more hawkish than the typical DUer.

Hillary's hawkishness is disturbing, but no where near as frightening as, say, a Mike Huckabee or a Rick Perry. I'll still vote Democrat.
