Hillary explains her "hard choice" in voting for Iraq invasion

[Carolina]

95. Oh puhleeze

Kerry cast a politically calculating vote for war that was all the more egregious because he knew war and the legacy of a wasteful, wrong war. As a result throughout the 2004 campaign, he ended up twisting himself in knots trying to explain and justify the unjustifiable.

But back in 2004, many of us held our noses and voted for him because we still had HOPE. The US had only been in Iraq for one year and Afghanistan for 3. The crash due to Clinton's reversal of Glass-Steagall hadn't happened and Honduras, Libya and Syria hadn't occurred.

But now we see the Corporatists, the MIC and the pols on both sides of the aisle who are bought and paid for by them more clearly, and there is no more voting for the not-so-lesser of two evils. In fact, the duplicity of Dems like HRC is worse than repukes because of their lip service to Democratic principles and values while they ultimately upend the New Deal, the Fair Deal, the New Frontier and the Great Society.
