Is Hilary Clinton a Hypocrite?

Question

She orginally voted for the Irag war, and now she is against it all of a sudden.

Answer 1

yes she is. Just like her husband Bubba, they go with public opinion for their stance, and claim they have always felt that way

Answer 2

You are exactly right. she did vote for the Iraq War, and now she is against it. She used (and this is just one of the people she has used) Cindy Sheehan, to help her promote her against the Iraq War thing, then dumped her like garbage. Hillary, is running on the set up on Bush, one they caused while Bill was in office. Bill's Administration also said, Saddam had WMD's, and they needed to be gone, she voted for the war because of that, now, she has her propaganda fool's out bashing the war, to try to get vote's. Hillary is a flip flopper, because she has no idea of what leadership is all about, she thinks it is all about her growing up to be a "Dictator", which she will be, exactly like Hitler.

Answer 3

I don't really think anybody voted for this war, Hilary included. I think a lot of people voted for the song and dance that Bush tried to sell us back in 2002, the one where there were WMD's and al qaida links. You remember, there were nuclear and chemical weapons there and we knew right where they were. I think a lot of people voted for that war. I think a lot of people also voted for the war that Cheney and Rumsfeld went on television to say would be over in 90 days and wouldn't cost the American people a cent because the oil would be flowing in a matter of weeks. This war was going to pay for itself, remember? I don't think anybody voted for this f*cking disaster that will cost us trillions and will ultimately result in trading a localized dictatorship for a very dangerous fundamentalist theocracy. And you say she changed her mind "all of a sudden?" I don't think four years is all of a sudden buddy, this things been a long time coming. I respect the folks that can say they made a mistake and have changed their minds, it takes courage to admit when you are wrong, too bad Bush isn't man enough to do that.

Answer 4

No no no... see, this is the problem. People hear sound-bytes but they do not take the time to explore the facts, and they have no appreciate for nuance... which, while boring to listen to, is important.

Congress has the power to delcare war.

Congress did not declare war on Iraq

Congress voted to give the President the authority to declare war back when weapons inspections were going on

Hillary voted to give the president the authority to declare war

Which was mostly a procedural issue considering that the President, in recent decades, has taken liberty in usrurping congress to send troops into war, or warlike situations

Hillary did not vote for war. She gave the president power, and trusted the president would use the power responsibility.

It was right to give the president power.

But when Hillary says that, knowing what she knows now, she would have voted differently, she is saying... I should not have put my faith in the president, not... I should not have given the president the authority to wage war.

I know it is fun to call democrats flip floppers... but Hillary is not a flip flopper, she is just too smart for most people. Unfortunately, the trend in american politics is that people prefer less-intelligent people.

Answer 5

Again, please keep in mind I am Canadian, but I just had to respond to this one.
I don't like Hilary Clinton for the same reason I didn't vote for our current Prime Minister. She can't make up her blasted mind what she stands for. She waffles on important issues and is vague on some issues that need decisiveness.
Stephen Harper for the U.S. Why elect her? Just take Stephen off our hands and it will be the same thing and will save you the cost of an election (just kidding about that part). But really, you do need someone who will stand firm on the important issues facing your country, and let's face it, there are alot of them, not the least of which is war on two separate fronts. From what I am seeing of her, Hilary Clinton is wishy-washy and that is not what you are going to need in the next four years.

Answer 6

Republicans, who still support Bush like to point that out. With all the mistakes Bush made in this war, it is clear to Dems and some republicans that he does not know what he's doing. His policies have failed and he will continue to fail in his pursuit of winning the war.

Answer 7

Most of the Republican Congressmen and women are now against continuation of the war, too. Does that make them hypocrites?

Answer 8

Of course, but I have to admit Mitt Romney is too, though it isn't likely anyone is voting for him. She is just like her Husband though, she does what the polls tells her to do, you never saw ol' slick willy take a stand on any issue.

John McCain in 2008!!!!!

Answer 9

She's liberal, isn't she? Most of 'em are. Not all - I know quite a few sane, non-hypocritical liberals...but Hillary? Definite hypocrite.

But then again, she's just doing what the Clintons do best - chasing those poll numbers.

LMAO Hildabeast's hypocrisy has little to do with the war.

Answer 10

do you know that Bush lied about the reasons for going to war?

If somebody tells you something and you make your opinion bases on what is said to you and then all of a sudden it is realized that this guy was a lying sack of s h i t then you obviously have the right to change you mind once you found out the real truth...........make sense or do we need to go over this again!!!!!!

Answer 11

Not at all. What ppl fail to understand is that ALL the congressional members that voted to support military action IF NECESSARY based it on falsified intelligence.
