Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

(4,558 posts)1. She was wrong. Has admitted to it. So was the majority of Dem Senators. So was the vast majority of the country.
2. It matters because it frames the whole background of the event. It also exposes the hypocracy where there was almost no mention at all about John Kerry's vote in 2004, or John Edwards vote in his run in 2008. Two other POTUS candidates, who made the same wrong vote, who also made very imposing speeches before the Senate supporting that war, yet so much silence on their vote. Hmmm, I wonder.. What could be so different about those 2 candidates and Hillary? Very curious.
3. "Zero empathy" is a ridiculous assertion on your part, but that's your opinion and you're absolutely entitled to it. Of course I'm entitled to mine that yours is ridiculous.
4. With absolutely no snark intended, much respect to your consistancy in not supporting Kerry or Edwards. I am left with the lingering and original question though.. You've been very vocal (well at least in writing) about your disdain for Hillary, and the Iraq war vote has been one of your 2 biggest issues that I've read about.
Fair enough.
You've been a member since 2005. Perhaps you can drudge up even a single post you've made in all those years decrying the other 2 "yes" votes that have run for president? Just one? Surely if this is your conerstone issue of opposition, your passion and dedication to this cause can drum up a single post decrying Kerry for his vote, or Edwards during the 2008 campaign season for his?
At least that would make you one of the few truly consistent people on this issue.
