Torture, cluster bombs, Iraq and Iran Wars -- NO, these two candidates are NOT the same.

[dailykoff]

That is a lie flogged by the same crowd that brought us the Great War on Terror:

............

CLINTON:

- NO on Amendment No. 4882 that would have banned the use of cluster bombs in civilian areas.

- YES on Bankruptcy bill (S.256) which stripped protections for people in debt.

- YES on Kyle/Lieberman bill that sets the stage for the US to take military action against Iran.

- YES on the Iraq War Resolution.

- Refused to sign the AFC Anti-Torture Pledge.


OBAMA:

- YES on Amendment No. 4882 that would have banned the use of cluster bombs in civilian areas.

- NO on Bankruptcy bill (S.256) which stripped protections for people in debt.

- Drafted legislation stating that Congress did not grant President Bush the authority to attack Iran, either through the Kyl-Lieberman amendment or any resolution previously adopted.

- Vigorously opposed the Iraq War and took a public stand against the Iraq War Resolution

- Signed the AFC Anti-Torture Pledge.

6. Kicked and F*n RECOMMENDED!!

This is REAL ISSUE ANALYSIS!!


Why do Hillary folks NOT deal with stuff like this?

[merh]

7. You do know that Bill Clinton is the one that began the

extraordinary renditions as we know them, don't you? GWB expounded upon his policy, increased it. Hillary will never do anything about the illegal torture.

8. I did know that...

but I'd seen that defended cause... well I don't really know why. *sigh*

[merh]

9. scarey, isn't it

*sigh*

[redqueen]

14. Obama supported Israels Lebanon invasion..

In which they dropped more clusterbombs than in all of Iraq. http://www.irinnews.org/Report.aspx?ReportId=76358

http://usliberals.about.com/od/extraordinaryspeeches/a/ObamaIsrael.htm">Obama supported it

I am still waiting for someone to ask Obama what his response to Iran nuking Israel would be, or for him to offer an answer. I bet it is the same as Hillary's, verbatum.

15. He also voted against caps on credit card interest rates

Apparently he thinks the credit card companies are more important than his constituents.
