Why would a Democrat support a person who?

Question

Voted yes for the war in Iraq, yes on every Iraq spending bill, yes to the Patriot Act and yes on reauthorizing the Patriot Act?

Answer 1

Because they are clueless.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, and regardless of the party affiliation people tend to vote for who ever has the D or the R after name only because it fits with the D or the R after their own name.

We need to stand up and pick the best person for the job and so far the pickings are slim.

Answer 3

Only if they also believe and vote for cutting taxes permanently. If they realize we need to start getting our young people technical or university degrees to compete in an ever expanding global economy. Yes, if they continue to research and fund defense spending. Yes if they look into reforms on social security by utilizing privatization so it will be available to the younger generation that is paying into it now. And they do not believe in redistribution of the wealth.

Yes, If they believe in the strength and leadership of America, and want to keep our country strong!

Answer 4

Again, and again, people forget the circumstances of the time.

But in the end, how could anyone vote for her... Merely by association she looses my vote. But even after that, we now see fishy campaign contributions being returned. Then quickly faded from media coverage. A foreshadowing of things to come, and shes not even in office yet. How could she possibly make it to the office? She just barely meets the qualifications for the position. She has no military background. She was a First lady, and a Junior Senator, nothing more. Why ?

No chance, the way I see it.

Answer 5

I am a democrat, and I do support my representatives that vote their conscience rather than their party platform. There is no one right side, either way and there is also a political idea called compromise. Just to be clear, there was never a vote for or against a "war in Iraq". The vote was to allow the use of military force, if necessary.

Answer 6

I think, post 9/11, didn't everyone vote for the war, except, I believe, some woman from California, who caught tons of flack about it? Since we are now engaged in that war, to vote no on spending would be putting our military personnel in jeopardy. I happen to support the Patriot Act, and think it doesn't go far enough. So, there you go.

Answer 7

hey funny.... we have exactly the same problem here... between sarkozy and the oppositon camp!!! in the medias, they are always screaming on the new laws but in the national assembly nothing happens ....

Answer 8

The Democrats are in love with the idea of Hillary having the absolute power they think Bush has.

If elected, she will have more power as the patriot act hits it's stride during her term.

I can't think of a single politician who is more likely to use it for personal gain than her. She has already shown that she is not above listening in on her oppostion.

Answer 9

Actually, they won't. Chinese dishwashers and George Soros will buy the election for her.

Answer 10

Sad to say some people (my dad for example) would vote for Mickey Mouse if he was the democrat candidate.

Answer 11

Look, the problem is that Bush told everyone we knew there were weapons of mass destruction there. He was sure of it. And under those pretences, if you vote against that you are un-American from the eyes of the Republicans. This is why politics are screwed up. There should be ore free thinkers in Washington. And one political party shouldn't use the emotion of 9/11 against the other party. You vote against Iraq, you might as well vote against America 2 years after 9/11. It is different today.
