1. Thanks for posting. :-)

2. HRC will say anything

to get elected. I have tried but can't trust her. My little voice screams at me. this video just reinforces that.

3. You didn't even take the time to view it.

You didn't even take the time to view it. The vid is 10:39, and you posted your response 11 minutes after the OP went up. You just slammed it without even viewing it. Or did you read the OP the second it was posted, and used the 21 seconds to read the OP, open You Tube, view the vid, type up a bash-Hill reply and bang the send button?

edit: spelling

4. I viewed it.

She was asked if her vote was wrong and she never said yes or no while saying she had to hold herself responcible for her vote. It sounds to me like she isn't being responcible for that vote at all and to just say I didn't know bush would act upon the authority she gave him is sheer lunacy as that is beyond a lie. I expect rhetoric such as this from the bush administration, but in my own party i do not tolerate it as it shows her dishonesty.

5. How do you know that?

Perhaps, like me, the poster actually watched Meet the Press live. I made a comment to my wife while watching it that Hillary is trying to have it both ways. She did not
take responsibility. If she feels so strongly to not provide any more funding, why doesn't she either filibuster or put some type of senatorial hold on the process. Rather she will vote against it, knowing it will pass, and use the vote as a show of leadership when it is not.

12. Hillary was perfect today. It is difficult for some to handle the fact

that she is probably going to be our nominee and not their candidate.

Some act out like bratty children

[FREEWILL56]

14. A bit cocky about it aren't you?

Do you probably know she will be as unless the fix is in nobody probably should know. Yes, she perfectly didn't answer the question and therefor can't be responcible for her vote and is blowing smoke out of her posterior orafice. She's just being carefull not to lie to everybody outright as she'd be hung in no time flat. Up until this point I would've said that if she became the democratic nominee that I would vote for her, but now I think not as she is not being totally honest by dodging the answer. Didn't she learn anything about what happened to Bill when he was dishonest by lying, which is just an outright form of the dishonesty she's showing in not admitting she screwed up royally? Too focussed on the forest fire to see that her own house is on fire.

[durrrty libby]

15. I say she is not lying and you are blowing smoke out of YOUR ass

[FREEWILL56]

20. Reread it.

I never said she lied, but she is being dishonest in not saying the truth and that to me is a lesson she didn't learn about honesty when Bill got into trouble. I am complimented that you haven't any recourse to my arguement as you reverted to namecalling. Have a nice day.

[FREEWILL56]

24. Sorry as it was not namecalling,

Swearing I had meant to say, but that was obvious now wasn't it? Apparently not to you. Just like it was obvious to me what HRC is doing in dodging that answer. She should've just said, yes, I goofed and I'd have respected that. What we got was a long hee haw without directly giving an answer.

[BeatleBoot]

16. Never confuse arrogance with confidence

Just sayin'

[JDPriestly]

19. Please accept the fact that to many of us including me

she is Bush lite. Like Bush, she refuses to accept the consequences for her wrong decisions. She made a serious mistake. Now she is asking us to look forward. She needs to explain why she did not ask more questions before casting her vote in favor of the Resolution that launched the Iraq War. She needs to explain why she did not immediately repudiate and apologize for her error when it became clear that Bush and Cheney had fixed the facts around the policy. How could she have known of Paul O'Neill's statements about how the Bush administration planned to go into Iraq at the first meeting of cabinet members on foreign affairs and not speak out and apologize.

I have seen a video in which members of Code Pink tried to dissuade Hillary from voting for the War Resolution. Hlllary was rude and refused to listen. She was absolutely certain that she was right. She acted in her usual arrogant, condescending way. I do not like Hillary because of her arrogance and condescension toward others. I do not like her. I do not trust her. Please understand that I base my opinion on her on her own actions and statements.

In my view, she is only slightly less objectionable than Bush. It is time we get a candidate who is not just better than a Republican. Hillary is just barely better than a Republican. We can do much, much better. I like Edwards, but I also like Obama, Kucinich, Richardson, Dodd and Biden. Hillary is the only Democratic candidate that I really don't like.

6. Anything she says now can and will be used against her in the general election.

I think she gave careful and good answers to the hard questions that were posed to her.

I was glad to hear her clearly say that she now supports a timetable, and that she won't be supporting any more funding without one.

And I don't require her to wear sackcloth and ashes because of her initial vote on the IWR. She's made it abundantly clear that she regrets that vote.

[halobeam]

10. I am glad her stance now is more in line with what Americans want

How much so? Not so sure.

Maybe she's really not taking responsibility, maybe she is, but could've stated it better. I do wish she would've stated more plainly, that "I didn't foresee him abusing his authority, I clearly didn't take that into consideration and that is where I became wrong in my vote." :shrug:

I've seen both sides argue she could've known it, as others could've or did and buckled for whatever reason. I like her and I don't like her. I like Obama, and I don't like him. I like Edwards, and I don't like Edwards. I like Kucinich, but I need to learn more about him before I can state I don't like him.. so far, there's not much I don't like about him. Biden, I'm mixed about as well. Surely I will state the obvious:

I have no clue who I'm going to vote for, not a clue. Wish I didn't feel this way, I hope as time goes on, I'll get more information to help me sort this whole thing out.

[pnwmom]

13. I'm not sure where my primary vote is going either.

But I absolutely know how I'll be voting in the general -- and enthusiastically, no matter who the nominee is. They're all good people. As you say, no one is perfect -- but every one of them would be vastly superior to anyone in the Rethug field.

[niceypoo]

8. Rudy is counting on your vote....or you not voting...

[pnwmom]

7. Thanks for posting. I wish I hadn't missed the interview. n/t

[superkia]

9. Where was this stand 3 years ago, why now that Bush is almost out?

[The Wielding Truth]

11. I watch her and I don't see her doing the right things. When I

watch Kucinich, even Biden, I see canidates who show their integity.

17. Hillary was on all 5 networks this morning

WASHINGTON -- -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton reinforced her position as the Democratic presidential front-runner Sunday as she executed the rare feat of appearing on all five major TV talk shows in one morning.....

Hillary makes the rounds



Obviously corporate america has made it's unanimous choice in the 2008 election.

[Hulk]

18. I'm not a Hillary fan, but........

...I also went along with the "WMD scare". I'm sure she had access to more info than I had, but based on what was being spun at the time, she gave the preznit the ability to become a maniac. She didn't realize he would pounce on it.

She has modified her position..and I have too, although a LOT sooner than she did.

I do NOT want to see a bush/clinton era in the WH, and I'm really a Kucinich supporter. If he doesn't get the nomination, and he probably won't because of "advertising bullshit", I'd back her in a heart beat.

I have to also say, she has my trust in her hand, and if she f*cks up, I'm out of here. This country goes down the toilet if we have ONE MORE DAY of chimps mentality.

We NEED a Democratic Congress that can get the 60 votes....67 if needed, and we need a president that can reflect what is right and just.

We have lived for EIGHT F*CKING YEARS with this monkey and his gluts in the administration of baboons. We need a change, and Hillary is NOT my first choice, but she does speak like someone who is honest and I can agree with.

God bless America, if only to help us get our f*cking way back!!

21. Can't stand Russert.

He is such a donkey.

22. hillary experience

This illusion that you get more presidential experience from the Senate is sheer nonsense. How many Senators have become President of America? Does Laura Bush have the experience to be President? Sitting in the front seat beside the driver for 8 years will never make you an experienced driver.

John Edwards spent six years in the Senate and had only 1 sponsored bill passed. Hillary has 2 insignificant bills passed in all her 9 years, while Obama has had 2 bills with his name passed in just over 2 years. And very important legislation he co-sponsored with Republican colleagues.
GovTrack describes Hillary’s sponsorship as “VERY POOR” and Obama’s as “AVERAGE”

In the State legislature he also passed significant healthcare, ethics reform, crime and poverty bills. Take a look at Senator Obama's bills in the State legislature: http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2007/0...
Compare that with Hillary's record on her website. Even her ads make no reference to any tangible accomplishments of hers. Hiding behind Bill Clinton will not make her an experienced candidate. Only fools are deceived by her campaign's marketing skills.
