Cluster-Bombs: No joke. A real reason not to vote for Hillary. [GRAPHIC]
Where is Hillary Clinton's conscience?

It seems to me she votes for political expediency alone. That is why she voted IWR yes. She is no hawk. She just hawks her vote.


"Pineapple"


"Apple"


"Food package?"


"Victim"


"Victim"


"Playground"


"Facilitator"

1. Obama voted to pay for them after he promised that he wouldn't.

3. You would seriously argue that their voting records are comparable?
I will gladly demonstrate that you are full of it wrt this issue if you want to pretend their records stack up against each other on this issue?

Do you want to hash it out or will you concede the issue?

7. Obama voted to ban cluster bombs. Hillary voted AGAINST the bill to ban them. Simple as that.
You are the one who does not know anything apparently.

6. Obama voted FOR the BAN on the Cluster Bomb Treaty amendment in question
and it has to do with the SALE of cluster bombs to foreign government for use in CIVILIAN areas.

But good try for trying to confuse and obfuscate.

I don't expect much more out of the likes of you these days.

BTW, good OP.

2. Hillary voted against banning cluster bombs just so she could look "tough" on foreign policy.
Yep. Children died so Hillary could save face and get a few votes.

"Out, damn'd spot! out, I say!"

Gotta love a woman who really has her priorities straight...

8. I pointed this out yesterday but don't forget Sudan
Bill bombed an "Aspirin" factory suspected of making chemical weapons.

For 10 years now the US has refused to inspect the factory to confirm that it was not making chemical weapons and has refused to apologize or compensate the Sudanese.

That factory, it turns out, was Sudans primary source of basic medicines and vacines and since it was destroyed tens of thousands of Sudanese have died of easily treatable diseases. This has lead to further destabilization of an already poor country and is, arguably a contributing factor to the current crisis in Darfur.

The Clintons are, and always have been, unapologetic and irresponsible hawks.

Before anyone says 'that was Bill not Hillary' - 'Hillary' has been doing some amazing truth stretching to take credit for Bills foreing policy, if she wants it, let her have it all.

10. She is willing to trade innocent lives for political gain. Is there more to it?
Let's see where they get their money, they may gain more than political power with these war/weapons votes.
