Isn't this what they killed Kerry with, the jokes that Cheney still makes today – "He was for the war before he was against it?" "Flip-flop artist"? Sounds like Hillary is doing the same thing. She voted for the war before she was against it.

Romney, Clinton, Guiliani are all rotten and can not be trusted.

Slick Mitt Romney and Clinton notoriously flip flop and will say anything including lie to get elected.

Rudy is a con-man and seems to surround himself with thugs.

Please do not vote for Romney, Clinton, or Rudy...all 3 are full of lies.

Hillary now has her husband campaigning for her...Anybody else think she realizes that she cant win against Obama on her own and is hoping her husband will bail her out again?

Hillary Clinton is despicable. The only thing she supports is anything that will get her elected. She is one of these elitists who think that your "average American" is too stupid to govern himself, so she wants to lead us "for our own good." I liked her book "It Takes a Village to Raise a Village Idiot." She is insincerity to the core!

Again, she was not misled. The White House "intelligence" was refuted in the days after they were released. Hillary voted to give up the Constitutional duty of the Congress out of political expediency, nothing else. She is as guilty as the Bush/Cheney junta.

"That's what we're trying to do"? What a liar. With Hillary, we will have more wars and more foreign entanglement which will lead to further "blowbacks". She voted for this criminal war (no she was not 'misled') and tried to pass an Iran Liberation Act. Barack, who stated that he is more than willing to "nuke" Iran, isn't much better.
The so-called top-tier Democrats make me sick, and will never get my votes.

Code Pink is at best a fringe group. MoveOn.org has more street cred and real power than most progressive organizations. And Shrillary is still unelectable in my book. Even if it were time for a woman, it's not time for this one.

I wish that people would stop giving Hillary a free pass on Iraq. It's bad enough that she failed to read the NIE report, authorized the war, and refuses to apologize for her vote. Now she blames everything on those useless Iraqis who had their country invaded based on faulty evidence. She would have won points by taking some of the blame, but her ego is way too inflated to ever admit she was wrong. Having her at a progressive event is a total crock, since she represents outdated politics with no solid future focus for this country. We don't need Beltway pundits, lobbyists and media honchos selecting our nominees, that's for us voters to decide. Stop letting Hillary off the hook!

I can't believe Hillary blamed the Iraqi government for the mess! I mean, its not like the US-UK invasion destroyed the country, or anything.

I can keep posting actual quotes from the Clintons or people can keep blaming the knucklehead Bush for misleading them:

“Every nation has to either be with us, or against us. Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price.”
Hillary Clinton, September 13, 2001

“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members…

It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”

Hillary Clinton Addressing the U.S. Senate October 10, 2001

There is a very easy way to prevent anyone from being put into harm’s way, that is for Saddam Hussein to disarm. And I have absolutely no belief that he will. I have to say that this is something I’ve followed for more than a decade. If he were serious about disarming, he would have been much more forthcoming. . . . I ended up voting for the resolution after carefully reviewing the information, intelligence that I had available, talking with people whose opinions I trusted, trying to discount the political or other factors that I didn’t believe should be in any way part of this decision.

Hillary addresses Code Pink, March 7, 2003.

N

“We must stay the course” in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and asked for more troops to finish the job.
“We have to exert all of our efforts militarily”

November 29, 2003 Hilary visits the troops In Iraq and Afghanistan

It's easy enough to find the beloved Kerry, Kennedy etc, etc also talking tough when they had the full support of the populace, but these veteran leaders were mislead also?

Check Syria for WMD's, he had the time, chance and if you look at the quotes from Bill Cohen above, he had the unchecked trucks also to move them.

Hitlery Rotten Clinton is the most corrupt and crooked politician today along w/her BUBBA and 2 corrupt brother Rottens(aka Rodhams). Proven crooks and corrupt individuals all 4 of em. Also, these demonRATS talk through both sides of their mouth. They say they support troops but don't press the VICTORY over the insurgents/terrorists/jihadists. What kind of nonsense is this from these Hitlery Demonrats????

How can this women say she ants to take away the presidents leadership authority, and even consider running for leadership herself. And I thought bill was the most disgusting human in that relationship

I think Hillary has done an outstanding job, especially when you compare her stance on the war in Iraq to that of her less experienced counterparts. Sen. Clinton has stated what most have that if she knew then what she knows now her vote would have been no. We must remember that the former First Lady and now Senator has years of experience in National Security and service to the Senate Armed Services Committee. She has intelligently and quite articulately laid out her plans to bring troops home from Iraq while protecting our interests.

"The Iraq Troop Protection & Reduction Act of 2007 presents a comprehensive approach to Iraq that halts the President’s escalation policy and provides an alternative strategy in Iraq with the goal of stabilizing the country so American troops can redeploy out of Iraq. Senator Clinton’s legislation puts real pressure on the Iraqi government, requiring the Iraqis to make political progress or lose funding for their military and reconstruction, require the Bush Administration to begin a phased redeployment and convene an international conference within 90 days or a new Congressional authorization would be required to remain in Iraq. Finally, the legislation would prohibit the use of funds to send troops to Iraq unless they have the proper equipment and training. If the President were to follow the provisions in this legislation then the United States should be able to complete a redeployment of troops out of Iraq by the end of his term." Introduced by Sen. Hillary Clinton

People like MATT are truly insane. They never can hold anyone who is not a white male accountable for any action. Code Pink says its shameful to hold the Iraqis responsible. Just a typical example of the left wing pc victimhood mentality. They blow Iraqi women and kids up but of course it's not their fault, it's America's fault.

It sounds like Trey is still falling for all those scare tactics that the goverment has been using for decades (increasingly so in the last six or seven years). Goverment intelligence agencies are wiretapping EVERYONE in this country, and "terrorists" are being held indefinitely and without being charged with any crime thanks to a total disregard of Habeus Corpus. Do you really think that an American-Muslim is going to get anywhere near any explosives? Please, stop letting your fear cloud your rationality and think clearly for a second.

Islam is not more militant a religion than Christianity; Christians who support capital punishment, renegade justice, freedom with respect to owning and operating firearms, white supremacy, etc., can quote the Bible to support just as much violence as the Koran can be quoted to support. The religions themselves aren't inherently good or evil; it's the people's interpretations of those religions that are so dangerous. Claiming that the Koran in general is so dangerous to American security only further proves that you've fallen for right-wing propaganda.

Hillary's pandering to the middle is so obvious, I wouldn't feel the need to point it out if she weren't "leading the polls" like the media claims she is.

Obama '08

Everyone who voted for that war did so under false pretenses. Anyone who doesn't get that should do the rest of us a big favor and just not vote. The last idiot was elected by you morons!

Finally, the Liberals are holding her accountable for something! I mean really she supports the war when she is presented with the same information and intelligence that the president had and then admitts that she never looked at it because it was at a secure location. She is on tape and on record on the senate floor saying how the evidence that was presented upheld getting envolved in this conflict. Then 5 years later says she never looked at it and she was misled? I think she and Bill were smoking the same stuff at that party.

I can't understand why anyone would consider voting for Shrillary Clinton because after listening to her for the last couple of years on her build up for the presidential campaign I don't know where she stands on any issue. She changes her mind everytime a new poll comes out.

This country does not need another democrat that is going to hold his/her finger up and test the political air to make up their mind. We need someone who understands what a critical time this is in our history. We have radical muslims that are spreading their hate speech within our own borders. Twenty five percent of muslim youth in this country believe that suicide bombing is justified. "The total Muslim population in America is 2.35 million, 30 percent of whom are between 18 and 29. By my figuring, the suicide-bomb-approving cohort works out to 183,000 people." AC media. The democrats don't seem to think this is a problem. I do. I also seem to remember leading up to World War II there was similar hate speech and disregard for the Nazi's and their agenda. It was all chalked up as just a bunch of talk. After we realized the genocide that happened then it was a tragesty.

Liberals need to wake up and realize you can't reason with these people. We need someone who understands that these people only understand force. It is their religion. You can't reason with someone when it is in the Koran to lie to non Muslims. At least Hillary stumbled on the right path to begin with she just never had the character or conviction to stand up to the mindless masses in this country who only know what they are told.

Wake up America or soon we will have those friendly neighborhood bombers here. I don't think people will be so forgiving when it is in their backyard.

I happen to believe that invading Iraq was a mistake and I am supporting Obama for the nomination, but I truly think that anti-war Liberals should lay off of Hillary. She voted for war authorization and now has realized her error. Lay off.

Please understand that Hillary is persuaded by the same deep pocket oil robber barons, defense industry profiteers, and greedy lobbies as Bush.

Voting for her will mean business as usual in the White House.

I could post many more direct quotes from Hillary, Bill and his entire cabinet on the imminent danger posed, before and after Bush took office.

If you Clintonista's don't have the intestinal fortitude to see what's in front of you, vote for Billary in 08 and wait for the appeasements, side deals and USS Cole type bombings to come back.

But we will be "loved" again.....

Yes Senator Clinton voted along with many senators to go to war – based on false information. Look at Powell, he was the pawn Bush/Cheny used to speak to UN to convince us to go to war. You think it was by accident that Powell was the speaker???Don't fool yourself. Bush/Cheny knew and still know Powell is a man the people love, so if he says go to war, then it must be so. So they used Powell just as they are using our soldiers. They are full of lies, dishonest and willfully led Powell to the table knowing the information he had was a LIE!!!!! So give Clinton a break OK. Saying she was wrong will not change anything at this point. Don't you fools realize that??? It is what she and other in our Congress do now.

Hamas took over Gaza after Israel pulled out. If the coalition pulls out of Iraq, which terrorist group will take over?

Yeah, Hillary is guilty. Guilty of trusting the intelligence put forward by the White House as to the motivation for attacking Iraq. Intelligence whose validity the White House, but not Hillary, was in a position to evaluate.

Just a sampling of quotes from the beloved Clinton clique, but the moronic Bush is the only one culpable:

"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow." - Bill Clinton in 1998

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security." - Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002

"I am absolutely convinced that there are weapons...I saw evidence back in 1998 when we would see the inspectors being barred from gaining entry into a warehouse for three hours with trucks rolling up and then moving those trucks out." - Clinton's Secretary of Defense William Cohen in April of 2003

The fact is that I agree with all that they are saying, they were right to say what they said and as Dennis Miller says, "I wouldn't be suprised if they moved them to Syria".

When is the public going to call the senator on her vote against the Levin amendment?

Excerpt from NYTimes:

The Senate had the opportunity to support a more deliberate, multilateral approach, one that still would have empowered the United States to respond to any imminent threat posed by Saddam Hussein. We must not sidestep the fact that a sensible alternative did exist, but it was rejected. Candidates — Democrat and Republican — should be called to account for their vote on the Levin amendment.

I respect Hillary because she directly addresses her critics.

There are a lot of politicians who won't even acknowledge dissent.

Hillary admits, in hindsight, that supporting the use of force in Iraq. That's all she can do.

"Code Pink" can say whatever they want but Hillary only authorized the use of force. Hillary didn't start the war and she when all the lies of the Republicans and Bush came to light she has supported the troops and has done everything she could to stop the war.

If the Senate and Congress had a anti-war/veto proof majority the war would have ended.

The November midterm election didn't produce an anti-war/veto proof majority.

That's not Hillary's fault.

Good post Andy. Yes just take a look at her war chest of campaign funds, which dwarves that of any other candidates.

Clinton was for NAFTA, as Bush Sr was shortly before leaving office.

There's really not a difference here. She has the same big lobby consituents Bush has basically. The troops in Iraq will stay there forever under her rule.

Why did she wait until the very last minute to cast her vote about the recent war funding bill? Testing the waters to see if was popular.

The name of the group is Code Pink. Shall we call them by a more endearing and more fitting way: "Pinkos"? Nothing more needs to be said.

President Hillary Clinton has already been chosen by the New World Order elite to continue consolidation of the global totalitarian state. 1992-2012 will mark 20 straight years of either a Bush or a Clinton as president. Why did this campaign start in late 2005 when the election does not take place until years later? It is a dog and pony show-keep the ignorant masses thinking that they will be "voting" when the time comes. One long, distracting sports match-meanwhile it's business as usual–more war, more "free trade", more cheap labor immigration, more erosion of national sovereignty and Constitutional rights. Poor dead America-by the time her people wake up, it will already be far too late. Two dogs fought over a bone and the third one ran away with it. He who has ears, let him hear.

I do not like the way that this person has operated. She votes for one thing, then when it does not go for her best interest, she changes her mind. She has as much blame of going to war as the President has. He had the same facts as she did. Her Husband had facts before and she saw those as well. She should think of the Country first and not her self personally and what she has to gain from all of this!
