In the Democratic primary we have choices between those who voted for or advocated invading Iraq in 2003, and those who voted against or vocally opposed it (or someone who wasn't in office and not on record at the time). In the general election we can vote for the Democrat, the Republican, a third party with zero chance, or stay home.
There is an ENORMOUS difference between voting for an Iraq war supporter in the primary (when we have better choices) and voting for the Dem in the general election.
Your previous post I responded to remains minus 1000 in my book, though you of course can read whatever you like.
What I have not yet read in DU is a reasonable defense of Hillary Clinton's (or Joe Biden's) vote for the IWR in October 2002. Probably because there is no reasonable defense. It was inexcusable.
