Hillary voted for the war even though she knew it was wrong
because she feared that the Republicans were going to tear up
the country in two weeks, get gas down to a dollar a gallon,
and claim huge success. She was too focused with her own
political campaign to save the lives of fellow Americans. She
can spin it whichever way she wants but she voted to use force
in Iraq and everyone knew it was for the start of a war.

1. Any Hillary supporters care to comment n/t?

[IndianaGreen]

2. Who cares about millions of dead, wounded, and displaced Iraqis, so went the Hillary calculation.

To this day, Hillary has yet to express any empathy for the Iraqi people or for the Palestinian people, both of which have been victimized by policies advocated by the Clintons.

3. Typical, save face, not people n/t

[OhioChick]

7. *Crickets* n/t

[gasoline highway]

8. and some Hillary supporters here say Obama supporters can't confront the truth

[MethuenProgressive]

4. Only the underinformed think Bush started the Iraq War because of one Senator's vote.

Not even KO thinks that.

6. Yeah one vote doesnt matter in an institution of 100.

So we should start to vote any way because our vote doesnt matter? Please. She authorized a bullshit war. Headlines say it all.

[polpilot]

17. 1 vote + 1 vote + 1 vote + 1 vote +1 vote and soon...

you have a war!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SOS]

5. The headlines, the day after

"Iraq Resolution Approved; Congress Gives Bush A Free
Hand To Wage War"

No matter how the yes-voters try to spin it today, this headline says it all.

[gasoline highway]

10. Exactly my point

[gasoline highway]

9. BUMP n/t

[immoderate]

11. Welcome to DU...

You'll rarely see the term "bump" here. Most often we say "kick."

It may be a bit parochial, but some right wing sites say "bump," which is probably why you'll not see it here. Of course you are free to use whatever terms you want. It's a culture thing.

13. REally?

Every internet forum I've posted at (no affiliation of party) has said bump. Never heard kick till I came here.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

14. ...

:kick:

[gasoline highway]

15. Seems silly to be honest, but why wont the Hillary supporters reply?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

16. You'll have to ask them...

I don't bash other dem's here unless they have lashed out at others without just (IMO) cause.

[immoderate]

18. I guess "bump" is more common than I thought.

My lack of experience. :blush:

Nevertheless, we don't bump here; we kick. :kick:
