Somebody just tried to tell me that Hillary had nothing to do with Bush's Iraq war, yet ...

.... here' Hillary herself parroting Bush's exact words in her impassioned speech before the Senate.

How anyone can give her a pass on this is beyond me.

... vote against the IWR.

Instead she acted like Bush's toady, repeating his lies.

even that she lead the 29 Dem yeas, but that by repeating all of Bush's justifications, down to 9/11, she legitimated his entire discourse and made Iraq a national project--something that had been agreed-upon; when something's bipartisan that means something more than just both parties approving of it

Didn't like just arguing with me on that other thread. Have to bring your posse along for the ride (how pathetic). And lying about what I said while you're at it (I NEVER said she had nothing to do with it - that's just a LIE). And this is why all over the internet on left leaning sites I'm seeing more and more disgust with you and your candidate. I've never been turned off a candidate by his moronic supporters before Bernie. Congratulations. Good luck raising the money he'll need in the general without all of us.

(well, since DU has gone into the sewer that is).

All the far left sights (like this one) have gone completely off the rails and don't think they're going to need moderates for the general. They're going to be stunned at finding out how wrong they are.

So if you decide not to fund the Democrat against the republican, we'll pick up the slack.

Those college students should be able to make up a billion dollars. Sure. And make no mistake, that decision was made for all of us by the repulsive behavior of his supporters. I've never said one negative thing about Bernie. Not one. Ever.

But your previous comment seems to refer negatively to his supporters, as if they are one hive mind.

But collectively, you've turned off all the moderates who aren't going to pay for your candidate. Congratulations and enjoy funding a billion dollar fight.
