Reply #15: I haven't been her fan for a long time but

she seems to be moving back towards the left, to me, in some respects.

I've been trying to figure out her reasoning for not making a public apology and then I realized that it isn't really an apology that I desired but acknowledgement that voting for the IWR was bad judgement. I couldn't understand how she, after all the shit BC and she and the rest of us went through during his presidency, that they would even consider trusting the GOP with that kind of authority! I mean, what the hell were they thinking?? Kerry's vote to approve the IWR blew me away! So, I've been thinking about and weighing my anger at her and her vote and her stance at not apologizing, and I've sort of come to the conclusion that she feels that she was also misled with the aluminum tubes info, etc. and therefore she doesn't feel that her vote was wrong because it didn't give * authority to actually go to war and her stance is that he violated the terms of that vote and it is not she that needs to be apologizing but * and his ilk! I think as a woman, she does have to show strength, sadly, even more than a man, and her way of holding that strength was to not be bullied into apologizing for something that she feels was right at the time, given the information she had at the time. Her membership in the DLC does bother me and not wanting dynasty's in the USA. But at this point? I'm not choosing a candidate yet. I do lean heavily towards Kucinich, based on his integrity and his vigilant stance against the war. But because I'm still learning and watching them all, I can't totally get behind anyone yet but there is still time! Even Kucinich has some issue's I'm not sure I agree with and that includes every Democratic presidential candidate. I'm watching. ;)

Make sense? :shrug:

Why hasn't she filled a new one out yet? Neither has Richardson. :shrug:

What is the NPAT?

The National Political Awareness Test is a key component of Project Vote Smart's Voter Self-Defense system.
Major leaders of the media, major parties and Project Vote Smart repetitiously ask candidates one central question:

"Are you willing to tell citizens your positions on the issues you will most likely face on their behalf?"

The NPAT is administered to all candidates for presidential, congressional, gubernatorial, and state legislative offices.

The National Political Awareness Test (NPAT) asks candidates which items they will support if elected.
It does not ask them to indicate which items they will oppose.
