DOVER, N.H. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton told New Hampshire voters Saturday that ending the war in Iraq is more important than whether she repudiates her 2002 vote authorizing President Bush to use military force there.

The New York senator and party front-runner repeatedly has faced calls for her to say her vote was a mistake. Democrats pressed her on it last weekend in New Hampshire and again on Saturday at a town hall meeting in the early voting state.

Answer 1

Yes she did.

Answer 2

Hillary has nothing to apologize for, based on the information provided Congress at the time (now know to be faulty) the correct decision was to remove a potentially nuclear threat to the United States. As unfortunate as that conclusion is, the same question now is directed at Iran. If war with Iran breaks out, the entire spectrum of American society will finally be forced to understand that the political ping pong match between Liberals and Conservatives is incidental and minor.

Pray for peace, but understand that weakness is an invitation to the worlds predators, just look at what the European Union did to the U.S. industrial economic base using corporate greed as a weapon. Our government must eventually take into account the responsibility to the public their offices were designed to serve. Politics cannot be ran like a division of a corporate conglomerate in the United States without the obvious parallel between Nazi WWII activity and current U.S. policy causing the world to unite against the U.S.

I love the United States of America, I am disgusted by our political leadership's disregard for the people they are supposed to govern.

Answer 3

No, she hasn't lost my vote. The way I look at it she was hoodwinked, just like most of both Houses and the American people. I agree with her and understand her when she says she regrets her vote because she regrets the misuse of power by our President that he committed because he was given carte blanche. That misuse of power and the resulting mess lies squarely on his shoulders. I don't have any illusions about who to blame for this mess in Iraq, and it isn't Hillary Clinton. The Decider has effectively made this war his own, he owns it lock stock and barrel. No amount of skirting around that fact to now blame members of the House for his actions is going to change what he has made clear. He is The Decider and what he decided has gotten our country into a mess beyond belief in the Middle East. Him and Cheney sold us all a bill of goods, from the House right down to the man in the street, I'm pretty hard put to put blame on Hillary Clinton for that, or anyone else who voted yea because they trusted him.

Answer 4

Hitlery grow to be by no ability my candidate. nor is RON PAUL! i admire this u . s . a . and understand that difficulty are incorrect for our destiny. I doubt that a liberal voters would evaluate Paul. You adult men ought to sense desperate for votes to point some thing like that. And no, we are no longer frightened of Ron Paul. it relatively is impossible for him to get sufficient votes to get the nomination, THANK GOODNESS! each guy or woman that publicizes Ron Paul is a appropriate tier candidate is observing emotion, is dreaming or purely no longer observing info! How can a candidate that has some million% of the vote on valid polls be seen appropriate tier? answer - they are in a position to"T!!!!!!! the sole polls that Paul come out looking stable are the two biased, text fabric-message style, information superhighway pushed or from straw polls. NONE are valid impartial polls! Sorry to burst your bubble yet Paul is so some distance down that there is not any longer plenty below him. I enormously doubt that he gets even one delegate on the convention. he will by no ability have sufficient help to win ANY state. those ARE info, no longer EMOTION! EDIT: hi Jessica, Hitlery Rotten Clinton is has by no ability been a average! do no longer insult our intelligence.

Answer 5

She would lose more if she apologized. She feels that she was mis led. She stands by her decision, given the info she had at the time. Shows resolve, and shows how the right wants to transfer blame to the dems. I hold Bush and co. reponsible for the war in Iraq. that being said, I will probably not vote for Hillary, although I am closer to voting for her than I was before

Answer 6

No. This is the best you hate mongers can come up with......Jeeeze, lets not lose sight of the fact that she was going off of the same intelligence that Bush was going off of. Has he admitted he was wrong yet?Nope. Atleast she is able to realize when something is an unmitigated disaster.

Answer 8

She said:
"If the most important thing to you is choosing someone who did not cast that vote or said his vote was a mistake, there are others to choose from," she said. "To me, the most important thing now is to try and end this war."

Answer 9

She never had my vote. The deeper she digs in her heels the further behind she will fall in her doomed quest for the White House. Everyone is wrong some time and it takes a big person to admit it. She is not that big person.

Answer 10

It takes a lot of character to admit making a mistake. Maybe she's lacking in that area...

Answer 11

She would never get any vote of mine; besides being a stooge for a mainstream party she's a huge harpy.
