If DEMs want the war to end why vote for clinton?

Question

SHE VOTED FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ

SHE VOTED TO START THE PROCESS FOR A WAR IN IRAN

The ENTIRE Reason the dems won in 2006 was that they were anti-war... THATS IT THATS ALL THEY HAD TO SAY

It didint matter what the republicans said, the dems just had to say "End the war" THATS IT (Oddly enough they havent done a damn thing about it yet)

Whenever I heard that 70% of the nation wanted the war to end, I thought that the percent consisted of the democrat half of america (50/70) and the last 20% was 40% of the republican party (20/70)

If you want to end the war, WHY VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE THAT WILL KEEP IT GOING!!!!

AHHHHHH

I want the war to end as much as the next 70% of America. Are you really that stuipid that you would vote for nominees of booth parties to be pro war

Clinton/Gulliani

RON PAUL 08!!!

Answer 1

Nice rant. I'm not voting for Hillary because she's power hungry, will raise taxes, and grow the government.

Answer 2

If I were only voting based on the war, then I'd think you were making an interesting point. But there are three things wrong with your argument...

1. Ron Paul is not the only person running for President that opposed the war from the beginning.

2. There are other issues besides JUST the war that are important, and you provide no evidence whatsoever that Ron Paul would be a good candidate on all these issues.

3. Much of what you are expressing her about Clinton, though I have no intention of voting for her anyway, oversimplifies what she did, why she did it, and what she intends to do about it in the future.

Result: your argument is invalid.

Answer 3

If she's like her husband she will probably pursue a diplomatic-solution to Iran rather than the dangerous ideology of pre-emptive war. A lot of Democrats may also fear that racist sentiment in the South could make it difficult for Obama to do well there. Edwards was already part of a losing-ticket as the VP candidate of John Kerry in 2004. Richardson - too little name recognition though he might have been expected to win some Hispanic votes in the Southwest as he is Hispanic. Biden and Dodd are too unknown nationally. Kucinich perhaps too far to the Left to appeal to moderates and republicans.

Answer 4

I wouldn't vote for her..

It is in fact true that both her and Obama stated she cannot promise to have all troops out by 2013, and she could only GURANTEE to have them out by 2018. I’m assuming people were expecting that when a democrat comes into office, they will end this, it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

And given the financial state of the country, what will happen to our economy if we continue the war for another six years or possibly even longer? How many more people need to die?

Hillary Clinton wouldn’t rule out using a strike against Iran, she has already labeled the Iranian National Guard a terrorist organization by voting in favor of the Kyl-Lieberman (Iran Resolution) what she fails to understand is exactly what Paul, Biden and Edwards stated.. Considering Iran’s economic situation, they can’t possibly pose a strong enough threat to the United States.. one that would require military action.. And to even imply something like this only increases the tension

And should her Iraq vote be overlooked now, just because majority of Congress chose the same route? Absolutely not, first of all majority of Congress isn’t running for president, she is. Second of all the senators that did make that vote, that are current candidates running.. Accepted the fact that they made a mistake and refuse to make the same one with Iran.

And fine that’s one vote right, but let’s evaluate Mrs. Clinton’s prior judgment..

“Clinton voted against the Levin Amendment to the Resolution, which would have required the President to conduct vigorous diplomacy at the U.N., and would have also required a separate Congressional authorization to unilaterally invade Iraq.She did vote for the Byrd Amendment to the Resolution, which would have limited the Congressional authorization to one year increments, but the only mechanism necessary for the President to renew his mandate without any Congressional oversight was to claim that the Iraq War was vital to national security each year the authorization required renewal.) Clinton later said that she did not read the full classified National Intelligence.”


Another thing to consider? Has anyone been watching the news lately? WHAT HAVE MANY OF THE GENERALS BEEN STATING?

From MSNBC: We have defeated Al Qaeda on a strategic and economic level.. They are still dangerous, but most violence is due to the civil war.. Which the United States CANNOT RESOLVE… It’s a RELIGIOUS CONFLICT!! (See India vs. Pakistan, and tell me if any government interference will ever calm that situation down)

I have no objection to fighting terrorism, measures should be taken, but there are other alternatives.. And from many of the reports I’ve seen it’s become obvious that the surge is not working. We need to shift our direction to make sure that we are secure here. And he has said so himself that IT IS A PROCESS, REALISTICALLY IT WON’T HAPPEN IN ONE DAY OR EVEN THREE MONTHS.. BUT HE INTENDS ON WITHDRAWING OUR TROOPS FROM IRAQ WHEN HE GETS INTO OFFICE, AND MAKING SURE PEACE CRP IS SEND IN TO LEGALLY NATION BUILD AND STABLIZE THE COUNTRY..

“Change foreign policy, reduce spending, give us a stronger defense.” Paul then pointed out that his “campaign gets more money from people in the military than all the other Republican campaigns put together.

Isn’t it interesting that his campaign gets more money from the military then most candidates?His message seems to be resonating with those that are there, and know first hand what is going on.. I’d like to reiterate that my candidate had voted against this war and still stands by his decision… You are correct, its about time we end the war and bring our troops home.. I'm with Paul

Answer 5

Does that mean you think she is a good choice for the 30% who don't want to end the war? That's dangerous. That would mean she gets votes from BOTH sides!

Answer 6

I won't be voting for her in the primaires. The only candidate that has a true shot and will actually change the corruption in Washington is Obama.

OBAMA / EDWARDS '08

Answer 7

We both know what one says and what is repeated is media censoring. But we should also know what she voted for in regards to Iran didn't mean a war.

In any case, Ron Paul is looking very good.....very good. That's why he isn't getting the coverage he deserves. They are scared poop of him.

Answer 8

the proportion of the population that wants to "pull out now" is about 15% accroding to latest polls.

and Hilliary can read polls just fine, ty.
