Has Hillary gone NUTS over Iran? [View All]

[Muddy Waters Guitar]

Arrgh. I was starting to warm up to Hillary again, after years of frustration and alienation especially with her warmongering on Iraq, the flag-burning amendment and other assorted blunders. It seemed as though she had started to recognize the foolishness of many of her recent right-wing stands, which have alienated her base and earned nothing but scorn from conservatives.

But then, Hillary shows once again why she's so infuriated what should be the core of her own supporters-- she's become more hawkish on Iran than even most Republicans!

Hillary's stands on Iraq and Syria over the past few years have been rage-inducing enough for those of us who've labored for years to elect a Progressive. She was burning her bridges with us. But now, HRC has not only burned her bridges-- she's actively tossing hand grenades right at the rank-and-file of the Democratic Party! :grr: A war with Iran would be beyond disastrous for us, yet now, HRC is actually going in and saying that Bush is being "too nice" and diplomatic with the Iranians, that we should just let the bombs fly and the burning of Tehran begin. Bush is already moving headling into war, and if Hillary is setting the tone for the Dems in the Senate, it'll become all but inevitable. I can't take this anymore!

Hillary, please, whomever you're getting political advice from-- fire them now! Frankly, it's too late for that-- she's already got too much invested in these pro-war stands. :banghead:

I really do prefer someone like a Clark, a Feingold, a Warner, a Boxer or a Schweitzer for 2008. Warner or Clark in particular would be formidable, with enough loyalty to progressive ideals as to now sell out the Progressives like this.

I'm just curious though-- what are New York Democrats doing about 2006? Are people starting to support Jonathan Tasini there in the primaries? Is he on track to get the endorsement from the Working Families Party? Should we be supporting him? My tolerance has hit the breaking point here.
