Stop being idiots. Campaign for your candidate on the facts.

If you don't think Edwards or Kerry would have gone to Iraq there's no logical reason you would think Clinton would. This line of attack is desperate.

1. I'll respond the same as when you posted the exact same thread in GD...
It doesn't matter. She had one choice in the matter: to authorize military force or not to authorize military force. She chose to authorize it, and is therefore responsible for what Bush did with that authorization. End of story.

7. Edwards admitted it was a mistake. Hillary didn't
then she goes and votes for a similar bill on Iran. If the NIE report hadn't come out we would be at war in Iran today. It's not wrong to make a mistake and admit to it. We have a President today that doesn't make any mistakes or won't admit he ever made one and look what that has got us.

4. Are you sure about that?
Being in the pocket of entrenched interests does NOT offer the option of disagreeing with what they want to do.

Would it have looked different? Probably. Most people still support the first Gulf War, if you recall. There were smoother ways to invade and steal their oil. Bushco opted not to freeze the press, though, which kinda makes you wonder, doesn't it?

6. They're polls are going up but they need to lie? Why?
Because they behave like little Bushies. I'm sure Obama is ever so proud of all of you.

10. Edwards was one of Lieberman's
floor leaders for Christs' sake. Little late for apologies. He voted for what resulted in almost 4000 dead.
