She voted for it...They kind of have similar backgrounds, served in the same WH together...Used to hang out with Bill Clinton...etc.

Gore had the wisdom to oppose the war, SHE DID NOT!!!

Why can't her supporters admit it is as simple as that, right there in front of you, she was WRONG!!! And she is wrong now...

IMO, Obama is the choice over Clinton for the same reason.

All I am saying is that she could have decided what Obama, Gore, Byrd, and others have said over and over at that time, but she did not.

Biden, Dodd, Edwards, all the candidates who voted for the war are disqualified.

2. You know - this "cute" parsing of yours is annoyingly similar to the bushbots
everything is black & white.

Guess it goes back to the Big Dawg and what the definition of "is" is with Clintonites tho

4. NO but Byrd was, many others in House were, many other politicians were
Many people around the fucking world were too, you may remember, or maybe you don't know, this Iraq war was the most demonstrated against, Globally, than other in the history of the world...Central London, Australia, far east, Latin America...etc. The whole world knew it was wrong...Not the fucking Queen ass darling of corporate media and war profiteering lobbyists.

5. Gore wasn't a senator...Hillary was and she was wrong.
She and Bill advised our senate to vote yes to the IWR. THEY were the "past administration" so many of our senators looked to. ...Weasle Boy Edwards said during a debate that he went to the Clintons for advice. ..He and Hillary admitted to never reading the resolution in the first place. ...Even though Edwards co-sponsored the Lieberman resolution.

6. No, he was more than a senator.
He was the putative nominee for 2004 when he opposed the invasion. He gave an impassioned speech on September 23, 2002, against the IWR and noting many inherent arguments against it, including the demonstrable bad faith of BushCo for politicizing the war by insisting on a Congressional vote BEFORE the midterm elections.

7. Has Hillary even admitted a mistake on that vote?
From what I've heard, her only problem with the Iraq war is the way in which it has been conducted.

11. I got plenty
but politics is soo ugly so often in America these days, therefore my pix tend to reflect that. If I could, I would rather draw pictures of fuzzy bunnies for the kiddies. :D

13. Obama was a Senator when the IWR was debated and voted on?
Did he see the same information that the Senators were being shown by Bush?
