McAuliffe (Hillary spokesperson): Hillary's Iraq position due to her gender.

I wonder if she'll bomb Iran because she's a woman. Can you imagine?

that's good politics..

Just fuck it. Someone shoot me if this is the best we can do. :banghead:

He's as bad as Rove when it comes to the "winning isn't everything -- it's the *only* thing" mentality that has led this country into such a series of disasters.

Unbelievable. It's like she is doing everything she can think of to keep me from supporting her.

How many other dolts does she have involved in her campaign?

Never mind. I don't really want to know.

for my opponent.

McAuliffe, especially with his campaign finance problems,
Berger, official or not
Carville, official or not
Mark Penn

yeah, I'm sure she is really hurting for talented and experienced help or advice.

and its biggest media cheerleader.

She's just not that into good policy.

and if you ever run for office, I'm sure you will hire people you think are qualified to do a particular job too. Or maybe you will just hire people who agree with every policy position you have? Something to think about for the future there.

the former DNC chair and one of her biggest fundraisers?

Or the reporter was off base all together. There is no mention of any discussion with Hillary.

Hillary should not apologize for being lied to. Period.

Hillary and how she makes her decisions.

P.S. The reporter verified the quote with three different witnesses. That dog won't hunt.

Nowhere does it say she voted for the IWR because she was a woman...

And in fact, McAuliffe was not working for Hillary when that vote was taken...

He made a stupid shorthand political observation that was neither authorized by Hillary or correct?

Maybe she really did trust Bush.

We know she wanted a war with Iraq--after all, as her supporters tell us, she has never opposed this war.

This is what comes from having too many campaign spokespersons (who frankly have their own agendas).

I'm sure McAuliffe will be answering to the candidate for this comment.

big of a sexist! Good ol' boys and all that but come on, terror, this IS the 21st century. :silly:

Obviously, according to terry she can't change her mind..Do we now know why she didn't FUCKING APOLOGIZE? Is it really that simple? Whoa..

Ooops, I see where terry thought there would be no "reporters" there.

Kinda like jeb bush not knowing the mic was on when he said he "had a devious plan".

First, on "taking back her vote".

For some progressives this is an issue but not only will it not be in a General Election, doing so could hurt a candidate. It is NOT an issue voters care about or frankly, want to be reminded of. Remember most people bought into the whole WMD line and no, oddly enough, they don't like to be told they were stupid for doing so. They would rather forget the whole thing and not be reminded that their leaders were as stupid as they were by "taking it back". They would rather believe that they, and their candidates, were "mislead". Someone trumpeting how super smart they were to know better, and by inference how stupid those who didn't are, ain't going to make them feel warm and fuzzy.

Second, damn straight as a woman she feels the need to be a "hawk", even if it is nothing but talk and posturing. I have read countless times how people don't think a woman can win, and then play dumb when she does what she has to do to convince people she is tougher than the toughest ass out there, which is totally necessary for a woman to be the first President during an actual WAR. Things like compassion and diplomacy are not only a given with a woman, they can be viewed as a weakness. She doesn't have to bomb anyone but she has to convince people she would if she had to. In fact, I believe that is the entire reason for her recent vote.

who thinks everyone buys his bullshit? yes terry- everyone thinks you are the coolest person in the room
