Do any of the Liberals remember that Hillary voted FOR the war in Iraq?

Question

As did Kerry

Answer 1

You have to understand that liberals have a special talent for convieniently "forgetting" things. You know, Hillary voting for the war, Slick Willy being married, that Billy spent billions in Kosovo, that North Korea was building nukes under a democratic administration, that Osama bombed the WTC in 1993, and told Sudan to keep him because he wasn't a "threat", that New Orleans was a democratic city, in a democratic state, and therefore a democratic screw-over, blah blah blah!

Someone keep the list going, I'm going to lose it!

Answer 2

Yes , and Ronald Reagan was a Democrat and a Union president before he was given a different script. Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns was a Democrat, but switched parties because there was a Democrat on the ticket. If you want to live in a country where it's not ok to change your mind, I sincerely hope you are never incarcerated for something you didn't do. Remember too, that it was George Bush who declared "Mission Accomplished" and went on the celebrate a United States victory in Iraq. I think it's the fighting after the end of the war that most people in this country (not just liberals) are tired of, and with the President's approval rating dropping through the floor, even those Conservative citizens who were in support of the initial war are starting to wonder why we're still fighting if indeed we've seen the "Mission Accomplished". I know it's very difficult for some to present a valid argument against the supporters of people like Senator Clinton, but please, let's get away from the Middle School finger pointing.....it's like watching 12 year olds, "She voted for it too!" "So what, I still like her!" "Well you're just dumb, George is better!" "Is not!" "Is too!".........

Answer 3

Nope, it's cognitive dissonance.

Hundreds of Congressmen and Senators from the Democratic party voted for the war.

But, Democrats are allowed by the media to flip-flop because the media doesn't remind the public what Democrats used to say.

Imagine if Hillary becomes president and she gets us into wars and then decides they were mistakes!!

Remember, Bush was the 3rd president to attack Iraq and Clinton bombed Iraq in 1998 because he said it had Weapons of Mass Destruction!!!!!!

Answer 4

Yeah, but Kerry actually voted against the war before he voted for it (whatever that means).

And Hillary defended Israel's actions, too.

So if liberals aren't the complete hypocrites that I know they are, Hillary should not receive a single vote for President. She's a Hawk! Omigod!!

Answer 5

A lot of Democrats voted for the war in Iraq. One of those Democrats was John Kerry, but Kerry said this before he voted for the war.

"Let me be clear, the vote I will give to the President is for one reason and one reason only: to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, if we cannot accompllish that objective through new, tough weapons inspections in joint concert with our allies. In giving the President this authority, I expect him to fulfill the commitments he has made to the American people in recent days - to work with the United Nations Security Council to adopt a new resolution setting out tough and immediate inspection reqiurements, and to act with our allies at our side if we have to disarm Saddam Hussein by force."

Then he said something remarkable that people tend to forget.

"If he fails to do so, I will be among the first to speak out."

So in actually, Kerry was not a flip-flopper. It really irritates me to hear this about how Democrats are flip-floppers. Remember how we were after 9/11? We wanted action, and we believed what our leaders told us. Unfortunately, what our leaders told us was completely and utterly wrong, and an unfortunate number of Democrats believed them. Attacking Democrats for believing the lies of George Bush isn't a justification for why you shouldn't vote for them.

Answer 6

I do..but does it even matter??? I mean Hillary is an idiot, I wouldn't vote for her. I also supported the war in the beginning until I knew that it was based on lies..THERE ARE NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ!!!!!! If president Bush had one brain cell left in that insignificant brain of his he would have gone after Iran, because we have known for a fact that they have weapons of mass destruction, and look, now they are threatening us with them...it is common sense to the average person, but not to someone so ignorant that he screws up his own prewritten speeches. I mean to all you bush supporters...Do you even remember who Bin Ladin is??? Do to our idiotic president half of the country has forgotten who the real terrorist is..who really comitted 9/11...and Bush supporters DONT be stupid enough to say that Iraq was involved because there is absolutely No proof to back that ignorance up!!!!!

Answer 7

Many AMERICANS, liberal & conservative, were supportive of the war at the beginning. We were all frightened by the weapons of mass destruction that Bush kept telling us about.

Unfortunately, he spent about 4 months telling the media that "we are coming". So if there really WERE wmd, they had plenty of time to hide them.

Answer 8

Yes...before they realized they had been lied to....or at the least severely misinformed. Anyone listening to the horrific news that Iraq had WMD would have voted for it.

Answer 9

Yes, and that is why many liberals are non-supportive of her being considered for Presidential nomination.

Unlike Republicans, liberals/progressives do not march in lock-step with their 'leaders'. They follow issues, not politicians.

Answer 10

So there are hawks on the dem's side, what's your point? The democrats are split on issues just as republicans are. Party members don't have to fall in lockstep with the rest, do they?
