To anti-war Democrats: Why would you vote for pro-war Hillary? Pro-war nationalists need not answer.?

Question

Hillary Clinton has been consistantly pro-war. She has supported Bush's wars even stonger than Bush has. In additon she favors bringing back the draft. How can you settle for this? Do you honestly believe you will have an influence in changing her mind? There were a lot of republicans who sincerely believed that Bush would get America out of the Balkans. They were wrong. What makes you think you will do better? If you don't believe you will turn her into a pro-peace politician but are willing to vote for her anyways, why sell out?

But what if she wins the Democratic primaries?

Your assumptions that I vote Republican is very amusing, but incorrect.

Answer 1

I'm a liberal and I wouldn't vote for Hillary under any circumstances. She is a hack who changes her positions for political expediency.

Answer 2

No, as much as I want to see a woman prez, I won't vote for Hilary because she's pro-war and I'm not. She's a sell-out to the right-wingers. I think one of the reasons she likes to restore the draft is that she believe that would be fair (to an extent) because now only people who need money enlist (poor people fight and die for rich people, but hasn't that always been the case?) A draft would force most to join the army regardless of their wealth (supposedly).

Answer 3

As a FIRST choice for me it will NEVER happen. That's why there are primaries. But my voting hand would burn and get cancer if it somehow independently of my brain voted for a Repuke, EVER. Better to cut it off. The only consolation for me is that wannabe Repuke Hill drives REAL Repukes crazy... or at least that's the mantra Rove is implanting into Repukes. Down with Dictator Dumbya!!!

Answer 4

Ah yes,
Hillary.
Hillary Hillary Hillary.

I'll wait to see what she has to say. Politics is a tough racket,
H. Clinton has the biggest republican target on her.

Your not a child, your not dumb or nieve about washinton politics.
Clinton is a smart canidate, she knows what she is doing.

I need to see who is running, there is a process. If war is your only issue then good luck with that. I want the entire country back on the proseperity track.

I am pro peace but when push comes to shove she will defend this country with all its might.

Answer 5

We would have done better as we never would have committed combat troops, like you Republicans! Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11 or terrorism! He did our dirty work against Iran!

Some of Hillary's remarks are right on some, like Bush's make no sense!

"We cannot and should not – must not – permit Iran to build or acquire nuclear weapons," Clinton added. "In order to prevent that from occurring … we must move as quickly as feasible for sanctions in the United Nations." Clinton

Building and Acquiring Nuclear weapons is far from Bush's position regarding Iran!

Bush's position is that enriching uranium is the same as building a nuke, which is crazy! He has NO evidence Iran is building a nuke! NONE!!! Just like he had none in Iraq!

Iran, under Article IV of the NPT have an absolute right to build a nuclear power plant. The only way to fuel one is to enrich natural occurring Uranium at 0.7% to 5%!! Enriching Uranium proves nothing!!

Article IV


1. Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all the Parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity with Articles I and II of this Treaty.

2. All the Parties to the Treaty undertake to facilitate, and have the right to participate in, the fullest possible exchange of equipment, materials and scientific and technological information for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Parties to the Treaty in a position to do so shall also co-operate in contributing alone or together with other States or international organizations to the further development of the applications of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, especially in the territories of non-nuclear-weapon States Party to the Treaty, with due consideration for the needs of the developing areas of the world.

Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons

Entered into force: 5 March 1970

Depositary Governments: Russian Federation, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and
United States of America

Answer 6

This Liberal isn't for Hillary, I wouldn't vote for her, she's just another shill. I think we all want peace and we all want to be safe, why the hell do Neocons think that Democrats will not be as strong on defense? At least Democrats realize that this war in Iraq is bullsh*t and we need more intelligence to lead us to terror cells and knock them out. This is not your Daddy's war, it need to be fought differently. Sorry to impead on your rah, rah fantasy.

Answer 7

I won't vote for her in the primary, mainly because of her support for the war. If she wins the nomination, I may vote for her over anyone who is to her right.

Answer 8

We won't vote for her if she ran for president. There are better Democrats around like Biden who somebody pointed out in an earlier post.

Answer 9

are you a New Yorker,, she is running for reelection as a Democratic senator in November,,, she will win too,,,, maybe you could move,,,,,,,,,
