1. Wow! She really put her foot in her mouth IF she said that.

I agree that invoking 9/11 as a rationalization for the IWR is beyond contemtible.

They were unrelated and she could only be trying to appeal to the most ignorant voters with that-at the expense of truth.

Shameful and yes, to quote the article, straight out of Cheney's playbook -IF TRUE.

5. Both New York senators voted for IWR. Both.

And 9/11 was pretty much the rationalization for everything happening in New York. Everything. You really think there was even a minute it wasn't on our minds?

They were dealing with a carefully manipulated perception. Fully supported by the media.

But thank you for your concern.

[Bonobo]

9. I'm from NY too!

I don't need the lecture.

Thanks for YOUR concern.

But I don't care to have a POTUS that can't think past media misdirection.

[Tom Joad]

32. Millions marched against the war in Iraq in NYC. Imbeciles supported it.

[aquart]

6. Did she?

She said the IWR vote came up when she was still dealing with the aftereffects of 9/11. What part of that is not true?

[Bonobo]

10. The part that isn't true is the linkage between Iraq and 9/11.

There was NO LINKAGE. Ever. None.

What part of THAT isn't true?

15. She Really Said It - And She's Gonna Win!

Suck it up, bucko. She's got way more money than every one else - mostly from the forces of darkness, byt them's the breaks.

[ShortnFiery]

17. Money does not buy every DAMN thing. When people are unemployed ...

or living on the margins, they're going to vote for substance not someone who tap dances around the issues. :(

[JI7]

2. and who or what does Arianna support ?

i'm tired of some of these constant bashers of Dems.

[Ken Burch]

3. It may be to the ultimate advange of Dems

To get a candidate with these kinds of issues out of the race now.

I'll back Hillary if she's nominated, but her supporters need to stop acting as if she's just ENTITLED to the nomination.

[grace0418]

30. I won't even back her then. I'll *vote* for her if I must, but I will never back her.

The 2004 election was my time to say Anybody But Bush. But not 2008. I'm sorry, Hillary is only a viable alternative to a Republican, not to any other Dem candidate IMHO.

[AtomicKitten]

4. I don't find HRC's discussion of her IWR vote

... any more or less noteworthy than the others.
IMO all 28 Senators that voted yes on the IWR were dumbasses. All of them.
And their explanations lame. All of them.

[Adelante]

13. All. Of. Them.

:thumbsup:

[William769]

7. Surly you can do better than this?

:eyes:

[rock]

11. No, and don't call her Surly

It's Hilry.

[johncoby2]

8. No kidding. Damn her. I am voting for Guilliani.

[papau]

12. Sounds like my favorite Greek YaYA Writer is pissed her Hillary hate might be trumped by 911? n/t

n/t

[Tellurian]

14. Does Arianna have an A Game? Or is this more of her A, B, C, D, Game?

What is sad- Arianna only has ONE mouth to speak from at a time-

Arianna's love of symmetry would indicate a preference for 2 mouths where there is one..
And two more mouths adjacent to where there is none..

[papau]

33. LOL - the poor lady lost $30 million getting rid of a right wing GOP husband that was not into

her sex. We should take pity, perhaps?

Besides, as a convert to the left, she seems ok - most of the time

but I agree with you - I never can predict where on any given issue, on any given person, she will throw her support.

It is like one of those 2 on one fights in a family where the makeup of the "two" constantly changes.

[ShortnFiery]

16. Trying to play both sides ... tap dancing around that coveted "center line"

will will eventually lead you to become figurative ROAD KILL. :wow:

Take a damn stand HRC as well as own up to your past mistakes. That's not weak, but sound leadership.

[Tellurian]

18. Look at the credibility of the Source..

Even the KURDS gave Huffinton a Spanking for her way off the mark statements..
Huffington is notorious for outrageous headline making statements.

It doesn't do anyone any good to fall so easily for gullible crap-
Especially when Huffington is disliked by both sides of the aisle because
guess why--- She won't take a STAND! Talk about hypocritical statements!

[ShortnFiery]

19. It seems like you adore HRC so much, she could say anything and you'd defend it?

Just my 2 cents but there's always an excuse and she does NOT ever admit that she has made a mistake. Don't we already have a shamelessly arrogant leader in the WH?

[Tellurian]

20. I do the research first before I start criticizing someone...maybe thats the difference between us?

Happy "V" Day, by the Way...:hi:

[ShortnFiery]

21. I also do my research ...

But, unlike you, I will not use a condescending ploy to feign positive sentiments. ;)

[Tellurian]

22. I'm not feigning anything.. I'm stating a fact..

Are you saying, you think, Arianna Huffington is a credible source?

[ShortnFiery]

23. Oh stop, you've dug a hole, I suggest that you stop digging. n/t

[Tellurian]

24. I see denial is another one of your attributes...I don't know where your standing..

but I see a wall, and I'm talking to it!

[SaveElmer]

25. Huffington is lying...again!

No surprise...took Hillary's AP statements out of context...and ignored the numerous statements she has made saying exactly the opposite...including in her floor statement

I liked Huffington better when she was still a Republican!!

[derby378]

26. That's it. If Hillary gets the nomination, I'm gonna laugh until I cry...

We need a candidate who can actually win in 2008.

[SOS]

27. If 9/11 is the rational, why invade Iraq?

Luckily we had FDR and a coherent Congress in 1941.
With today's politicians, the US would have declared war on Mexico and blamed Pearl Harbor.

[Tellurian]

28. Bush said it all, in the dropped meme at his news briefing..

$$$$$ TRUMPS PEACE!

The perfect meme for republicans!
We couldn't ask for a better campaign slogan!


To: you know who you are!
{{{hugs}}} and thank you for the new hearts..

29. Scarlett O'Hara is again reduced to digging up turnips.(eom)

[Tom Joad]

31. I thought maybe it was drug problem.
