is spreading "bunk" according to James Carville in his book.

1. Did anyone see Bill Moyer's Journal last night? He did an interview with Henry Waxman.....
Henry voted for the Iraq War. When Bill Moyers asked him if he regretted it, he said he did. He said he legitimately was fooled by the lies of the entire Bush Administration.

I love Bill Moyers (he's far more of a lefty than anyone I know, and does more to help this country than most lefties), and I like Henry Waxman, yet he voted for the Iraq War. How much more time are we going to spend masturbating with the vote for the Iraq War, on who voted this way and who voted that way, when the fact is, the majority voted for it based on the bullshit the Bush Administration provided as "proof?"

And before anyone flies off the handle, let me reiterate:

1) I was an Edwards supporter and donator;
2) At this point I want a DEM in the House and I don't give a shit which Dem it is;
3) There are Republican plants all over this forum just as there are Republican plants all over the Internet, and they are the most vociferous attackers of both candidates.

2. Waxman admits he made a mistake, as did Edwards
Hillary has not. She has not taken any responsibility for her vote.

That's what bothers me more than the vote itself.

It shows that she hasn't learned from that mistake and will probably make a similar mistake if elected.

4. Okay, so will you uh.. forgive her if she gets on her hands and knees and begs forgiveness?
SHEESH! Get over it. I'm an Kucinich/Edwards supporter, I like Obama, and I think you're being petty as hell on that point. Get over it. I got over it with Waxman.

3. inarguably
here's a post i was going to post in a thread i started a few moments ago, but this message board apparently malfunctioned, and locked the thread. weird. anyways, a response to someone:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4365896

you've conviced me. congrats. you don't care. i was just giving you the benefit of the doubt, and believing that you actually might care about what you purported to care about in 2002. guess i was wrong. i apologize.

p.s. barack has two daughters. he has a wife. he has a sister. do you think he's not as concerned about those issues as hillary, simply because he's not a woman? now, i know you don't care, but that's sexist. and you should be ashamed.

if you had any shame.

5. Actually, you're missing the real point: HRC will continue the war indefinitely, Obama will not.
That is the central moral issue here, not Hillary's war vote, which only describes one of her many
flip-flops.

Hillary will continue the war, leaving bases in place and never giving a final date of departure.

Leaving bases in Iraq is occupying Iraq: this is the reason we are still at war; we are at war, because
we are occupying Iraq.
