Again, to claim it's only about speaking fees is incredibly stupid.

And it's also a great demonstration of the big problem in our party that will cause Clinton enormous problems in 2016. You minimize the objections within your own party, you don't get turnout. You don't get turnout, you repeat Al Gore's performance.

The manufactured outrage that purports to be legitimate criticism of Hillary is pathetic [View all] stevenleser Feb 2015 OP

While I agree much of the outrage is silly. Egnever Feb 2015 #1

Very obviously, it's far from all her "detractors" have. But you knew that. merrily Feb 2015 #2

You're so right - these straw man arguments are laughable. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #108

"Her vote for the Iraq war is the 800 pound gorilla in the room ..." Sheepshank Feb 2015 #200

Excuse me, I should have said **some** Hillary voters Martin Eden Feb 2015 #247

I think you missed the entirety of my paragraph #4 Sheepshank Feb 2015 #282

Nope. I addressed it thoroughly. Martin Eden Feb 2015 #289

But Hillary doesn't even meet 50% of my expectations. JDPriestly Feb 2015 #353

It would appear that you are not a single issue voter then. Sheepshank Mar 2015 #360

Hmm.. this kind of shoots down the talking points about Hillary and the IWR vote Fumesucker Feb 2015 #22

You're better than that, Fumesucker. Your "gotcha" response is beneath you. BlueCaliDem Feb 2015 #128

You think Hillary doesn't want to be the first female President? Fumesucker Feb 2015 #143

I think her candidacy is a sort of proxy for a lot of peoples' ... stuff Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #228

See, Fume, she DIDN'T vote for the worst, bloodiest, most expensive foreign policy decision in Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #227

I do, thanks. haha InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #253

The IWR was a "minute detail"? Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #213

Blaming Democrats for the Iraq war because of that vote is revisionist history. stevenleser Feb 2015 #286

I'm blaming them for their own vote. Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #296

Its not reasonable. See my #298 above. nt stevenleser Feb 2015 #299

I did, Steve. Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #303

Then you are determined to believe in revisionist history. This isn't hard. stevenleser Feb 2015 #306

I knew the invasion was predicated on bullshit, just like I knew Bush's 16 words about yellowcake Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #309

That is a separate issue by the time the 2003 speech came along. This is my point. stevenleser Feb 2015 #318

The SOTU speech is just one example. What was the impetus for running up to war in the first place? Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #330

10 minutes of her pontificating about herself isn't what I meant. Warren DeMontague Feb 2015 #32

Powerful compilation of speeches. Thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening, freshwest. BlueCaliDem Feb 2015 #85

I agree entirely that this is trumped-up controversy, and frankly a bit sad.. OLDMADAM Feb 2015 #152
