2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary supporters: you will be sorry to hear that we will be here all the way to the Convention [View all]John Poet
(2,510 posts)and her true neoconservative "regime change" colors shone through.
I don't have a huge problem with her Senate voting record,
other than giving Bush a big fat green light for the Iraq war,
but her record as SOS is much more instructive of the types
of things she may do if she becomes commander-in-chief.
On Libya, Afghanistan, Syria... she was the HAWK in this administration.
In Honduras, she helped to legitimize a right-wing coup government who illegally deposed the elected president, at the behest of right-wing Republican senators, no less-- a government which is now repressing and murdering its own people.
On foreign policy and as Secretary of State,
we may as well have had Dick Cheney running the office,
and little to choose between them.
If she becomes President, those "3 AM phone calls" will likely be placed
to Henry Kissinger and George W. Bush.
If you 'know a Democrat when you see one',
maybe you haven't looked close enough,
or maybe you're just blissfully ignorant of her neoconservative foreign policy proclivities.
Or, maybe you approve of a neoconservative war-hawk foreign policy for Democrats?
