Clinton: "I want to be held accountable." Can we hold you accountable for the War vote?

This really was the one ringingly clear difference in the debate. Hillary flat out doesn't have a credible answer here. And yeah, I think its quite reasonable to hold her "accountable" as she is always wont to say, for her vote on the war.

Worse, many of us feel she probably didn't really vote her conscience here - had she done so, its hard to imagine her not having sewn up the nomination by now. As it stands, many hold her "accountable" - just as she's asked us to do.

1. Seems to me we already have. And she takes it. nt

2. And hold GWBush accountable, and Bill accountable, and Poppy Bush and Reagan....

Open the books Hillary - Pledge to open ALL the books ON THE RECORD. That is the ONLY way you would get my vote.

We have REASON to NOT BELIEVE you care about open government.

3. Campaign non-issue, what has McCain done?

4. And whats your theory on why

she voted for it? Do you think Haliburton paid her off? As far as I'm concerned Obama is more of a hypocrite playing up how he was against it and yet votes to keep funding it.

5. Simple DLC Triangulation. Thought it would work better for the Gen. Election not...

anything to do with being paid off. She wanted to shift to become more of a moderate. Bottom line, most everyone knew this was a vote to go to war. Everyone apparently but her. Sorry, but I'm not buying this. I'm also not buying that she wasn't smart enough to see what was going on. She's brilliant - for her not to see something when regular joes out here in the regular world - and I do mean the whole world - can figure it out just doesn't wash.

And you know the funding the war thing is a silly comeback - so does Hillary now, considering she didn't use it. Once you've spilled the milk, you have to work on cleaning it up. Leaving our troops there without funding doesn't seem that brilliant or wise to me - REGARDLESS whether you support that position or not, this is a VERY different decision than the initial war resolution.

6. No. She wants you to make her commander-in-chief after voting to

send troops into combat to further her political career.

7. Yes, let's.

Seems even all that "experience" you got it wrong. Way wrong.
