3. Has She Renounced This Vote Yet? Said it was wrong?

Or is she still for more troops? I am confused.

[WilliamPitt]

13. Yup

"Yes, absolutely, I'd welcome the chance to review the manuscript."

Via email yesterday. Sent the manuscript today. Waiting.

[uppityperson]

7. picky picky picky

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?

[welshTerrier2]

9. here's a fact ...

several months ago, Senator Clinton sent out an issues survey so that she could hear what Democratic voters had on their minds ...

she provided a pick list of issues and we were given the opportunity to check all that applied ...

guess she figured no one really cared about Iraq ... that's a fact, Jack ... Iraq was not among the issues Mrs. Clinton deemed important ...

[leftchick]

23. crickets

chirping. The number one concern among most Americans too.

[AlCzervik]

10. her ratings from interest groups are interesting

100% from NARAL, 0 from nationial right to life and the anti-tax starve the beasters hate her.

[onehandle]

12. "Mom, dad, she's evil. Don't touch her..."

"Mom? Dad?"

[Crazy Guggenheim]

15. Yeah but did she kill Vince Foster? Are you ready for a smear campaign????

[msongs]

18. one going on here, dont have to wait :-)

of them.

20. We Colbert fans prefer truthiness over facts. Facts confuse issues.

Funny, I was explaining truthiness vs facts to a Libertarian at work today. He doesn't believe the poll that 71% of troops in Iraq think we should get out. Said the sample was large enough. I tried to explain sample sizes and MOE, even sent him some links, but he still refuses to believe.

He also doesn't believe in Global Warming.

[RazzleDazzle]

42. How 'bout the earth -- flat or round?

[johnaries]

45. Funny you should mention that!

one of the other liberals in the discussion brought up the Flat Earth Society. I replied that I the Round Earth theory didn't have the feel of truthiness about it, and it challenged my worldview. The Flat Earth did have the feel of truthiness, and so the world MUST be flat.

This was an email discussion, and I haven't heard back from my conservative friend yet. Monday should be interesting!

28. I have one answer for you!

[Yollam]

30. This is the only vote I need to know.

[Hutzpa]

34. You mind explaining why you need to know this vote, I'm curious n/t

[wuushew]

35. Perhaps because pre-emptive war is a fucking nightmare

that has thrown the world into bloody chaos. If Senator Clinton thinks the idea is good I don't want her any where near the Presidency where under the influence of the DLC and AIPAC the bombs will be loosed on Iran.

The Fundies and their foolish cultural wedge issues will always be with us and we will be fighting them with or without President Clinton. Democrats must make a binary distinction on the immorality and criminality of the concept of pre-emptive warfare.

[Yollam]

37. It's pretty self-explanatory.

Everyone with half a brain knew that Bushco were acting in bad faith when she voted for that atrocity. I'm aware of the copout rationalizations that the resolution called on the president to go through X and Y hoops before actually invading, but we all knew it was a blank check for war, it was universally depicted as such in the media, and yet she voted for it anyway, against the vocal opposition of New Yorkers, who opposed military action on Iraq.

But you know all this, don't you.

It doesn't matter, because there will always be plenty of folks who will let their dedication to the democratic party and any member thereof win out over their outrage that ANY human being professing to be a "democrat" would vote for a resolution that they KNEW would kill thousands of sleeping babies in their beds, in a country that they KNEW had nothing to do with 9-11, and which had been quietly complying with post Gulf War agreements for years, even as thousands of their children starved to death.

But what else should we expect from a woman whose husband regularly bombed Iraq for violations of the arbitrary "no-fly zone" (not imposed by UN decree, BTW), whose Secretary of State said that even if a half million Iraqi children starved to death under the sanctions, that it was "worth it".

I was a democrat for years, but it is actions like hers that have made it impossible for me to be one in good conscience now. I'm an American, and I'd like to be a Democrat, but above all of those things, I'm a human being, brother of all the people Bush has murdered in Iraq. And every single baby that was turned into so much chopped meat with Senators Clinton and Kerry's approval was EXACTLY LIKE MY BABY. Every bit as precious and wonderful and irreplaceable.

So spare me your rationalizations for Ms. Clinton's craven, calculating voting record. I've heard them all a dozen times before.

[xynthee]

40. Well said!

VERY well said!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

31. That's An Awesome Site Will, Thanks! She Has A Pretty Good Record.

I was fascinated reading all of it and will bookmark that site for future perusal, and I'm sure I could scan through that for hours easily.

I think that's a great resource to have and have never come across it before. Thanks for providing it, and thanks for always for being a voice of truth and reason in the midst of factless emotion

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

36. kickaroo

How'd this fall off the 1st page?

[leftstreet]

38. I don't understand why DUers think Hillary is divisive...polarizing.

[Steve A Play]

39. So Will, do you see any difference between voting for your 'issues'

and voting to take away your rights?

I do.

[WilliamPitt]

41. I don't understand your question

[Joe Fields]

47. Will, I'm sure you are smart enough to know.....

that facts rarely have anything to do with elections nowadays. Perception, perception, perception.

Just take people right from DU, and their preconcieved ideas on Hillary. We haven't even officially started the next presidential campaign season, and the fighting over Hillary makes the fighting over Kerry look like a game of flag football.

And this is within the ranks of people most likely to support Senator Clinton. My prediction is that she and the Democrats will get slaughtered, if she is the nominee.

For the sake of the party and the country, NO MATTER HOW UNFAIR IT MAY BE, it has to be someone other than Hillary.
