How can Hillary attack Mcain on the war?
If you think GD:P is hard on her Iraq war vote just wait til the Pukes hammer her over the head with it.

Their goal, create a meme that basically states there is little difference on Iraq.

They will use her IWR vote as a bludgeon, and then use her Kyl/Lieberman vote as the dagger.

Combine that with Hils evasiveness in the primaries on how she would deal with the Iraq occupation and we are looking at no end in sight to this war plus the possibility of a Mcain presidency.

The target is clear, the issue the MAIN ISSUE for Mcain is the war, Obama is the only choice that presents the American people with a clear choice.

1. HRC: "If George Bush won't end this war, I will." McCain: We'll be there for generations to come."
Obama's "anti-War" record is a Fairy Tale.

3. The Majority of people in this country want us OUT of Iraq. McCain wants to stay for 100 YEARS.
That is a no-brainer issue against McCain.

8. Yeah , your right. This is where Hillary is going to have to attack.
McCain WILL bring up the vote, but Hillary will quickly shift that focus in debates to the current status both militarily and politically.

4. I really don't think that Hillary
has to beat him on the war.He has already shot himself on that with a lot of conservatives. She says that she will end it and the republicans that I know will support her for that reason alone.

5. I think she's going to have to stop lying about it, admit what she
did and then admit it was a mistake that she intends to remedy and rectify her mistake by itemizing the specific means that she intends to use in shaping her policy about ending the war and entering a period of peace in her administration.

15. Yeah...admit that she made a mistake.
That worked so well for Edwards!! She has clearly said that she'd do different if she could do it over. We want our leaders to admit mistakes. But when they do, we see them as weak. She's too smart to fall into that trap.

6. She can't, she can only contrast plans to stay vs. pulling some troops out
The question of whether we should have gone into Iraq will be off the table since they both agreed that invading was the right thing to do.

11. She won't. In the General, it will be who bombs Iran first.
This is my biggest beef with a Hillary race. It's terror, bombing, bombing, and terror. That's the debate and Hillary will try and out hawk McCain at every turn. Depresses me really.

13. Obama will start stumbling like he did...
on the question about immigration in one of the debates. They have been racking up all of his stumbles. Hillary thinks ahead and knows how to answer the questions because she knows what they will do in the General election. He is so busy attacking her as well his followers who have their heads in a cloud that they are not looking at the big picture. Mc Cain has more inside info from Bushco that Obama doesn't know about, and won't know how to respond to which Hillary will. He started getting angry when he attacked Hillary in one of the debates and acted as though he was surprise when she hit back...He spends most of his speeches trying to attack her and she uses her time attacking them because she knows what's ahead and how to respond.

14. There are A LOT of moderate Republicans that support Hillary's
position on with drawing from Iraq. They KNOW that an improvement in both the economy and repairing foreign relations depend 100% on getting out of Iraq safely and with dignity.

19. Iraq
Hillary will be attacked as a flip flooper on Iraq.For all those wishing to say Obama has a worse record all democrats In the senate had voted to fund the war.Obama opposes the war but has voted to fund the troops.Before 2007 Hillary was against timetables for the withdraw from Iraq.Obama IS a better candiate on Iraq.People are dreaming If they don't think Republicans will be able to do to her what was done to Kerry with regards to Iraq.They will be saying She was for the war when It was popular and against It when It was not.
