How do you feel about Hillary and Obama voting against funding our troops?

Question

Like it or not, they shouldnt try to leave or kids over there hanging, taht is a foul.

Answer 1

Why are we not surprised? Pandering to the anti war, down with America Left is now the standard for the dem presidential wannabees that hope to make it to the convention. Say whatever it takes to get those critical votes; then betray them later. Or not!

Answer 2

The Iranian defense force includes contributors of terrorists businesses from their previous. This stupid decision, is purely yet another understatement of the obtrusive. Hillary is purely recognizing that, does no longer mean something and he or she is purely CYA, in case that Iran provokes any usa. the reality that terrorists are actually "squaddies" of a real defense force, might provide the excuse for usa's intervention. balloting against, may well be so a lot extra adverse to her campaign, because of the fact the USA of a's inhabitants are already all "paranoid" approximately this new "boogie guy" Ahmed...in spite of the fact that his unpronounceable call is

Answer 3

Obama - okay.
Clinton - not okay.

Obama was opposed to the war from the beginning. Even if he is wrong, he is still sticking to what he has always believed in.

Clinton voted to give the President authorization to declare war in 2003 . So she thought the U.S. should go to war and now she doesn't think it should be funded? Now, she is just voting the way the rank and file Democrats want her to vote so she can win the Primary.

Answer 4

Politics. The vote was 80-14 for so their vote was not important. Now they can go to the Democratic base (the nut jobs who furnish the money) and say they voted against Bush's war.

My question----on such an important vote; where were the other 6 senators?

Answer 5

Congratulations are in order for Clinton and Obama for their courage to do what is right. Clinton and Obama (particularly) care a whole lot more about those young men and women fighting in Iraq than those who support this war...for they want these men and women to be able to come home, be with their families and live life.

They knew when they made their vote that funding for the troops would not be suddenly cut off, placing them in even greater danger. Their vote was not pandering to the "liberal base"...it is making a conscious choice to force a change in a disasterous global strategy. I fully support them and other courageous lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to keep the pressure on this administration to change course sooner rather than later.

Answer 6

It's wonderful. It guarantees that neither will be elected as president. Many people are unhappy with the war, but they will not elect somebody that voted to not fund the troops.

2008 election is over, the Republicans will win.

Answer 7

The way you phrased that question already tells me you really don't want to know or care to know the real reason why they voted that way.

Answer 8

That was treasonous and our valiant troops should not forget that at the polls. They are both just out for their own agendas.
Says alot about their characters and ow they will act as leaders.

Answer 9

I feel they didn't vote against funding our troops. Rather they voted against providing funding without a timetable or plan for withdrawal. It was a Catch-22. Vote against the bill and be accused (just like you are doing) of "voting against the troops." OR vote FOR the bill and be accused of hypocrisy because it didn't contain a timetable for withdrawal.

Answer 10

That is the reason neither one will be elected President. They have just shown once again their dislike for our Military and their willingness to pander to what the opinion of the day is.
