133. The line has been drawn...
Hillary Clinton is very strong on the record as being opposed to a constitutional amendment banning flag burning. There is no ambiguity in that position.

I'm sorry, Kucinich is a wonderful guy, I brought up his positions on those two issues to illustrate that politicians change their minds about things, and the excessive Hillary bashing often has a whiff of hypocricy when other Democrats are not called on the carpet for the same thing.

Fact is, Kucinich could never be elected President, he does not play the political game, and we need people who don't. But, if we ever want to take back the white house from the cabal in there now we are going to have to. Hillary Clinton knows damn well that first this bill will probably never become law, if it does will most assuredly be struck down. If not, she has signed on to the most meaningless anti-flag burning law she could...and say what you want she has been consistent in saying she would support a law such as this.

Have the people in this country vote for petty, ignorant reasons (nor other way to explain Bush), and pandering is the only way to get them sometimes. Not a perfect world, but the one we are living in now. I trust Hillary Clinton, or any other Democrat to protect my liberties more than any Republican, and if she has to pander a bit to get there, I'm willing to live with it.
