Hillary voted for the war

From a fox election article: “I still don’t really like the fact that Hillary voted for the war,” she said.

Does she not realize that Obama was not even in national politics at the start of the war.

Here are the senators who voted against entering Iraq... Daniel Akaka (D-HI Jeff Bingaman (D-NM;) Barbara Boxer (D-CA); Robert Byrd (D-WV); Lincoln Chafee (R-RI); Kent Conrad (D-ND); Jon Corzine (D-NJ;) Mark Dayton (D-MN); Dick Durbin (D-IL); Russ Feingold (D-WI); Bob Graham (D-FL); Daniel Inouye (D-HI); Jim Jeffords (I-VT); Ted Kennedy (D-MA); Patrick Leahy (D-VT); Carl Levin (D-MI); Barbara Mikulski (D-MD; Patty Murray (D-WA); Jack Reed (D-RI); Paul Sarbanes (D-MD); Debbie Stabenow (D-MI); the late Paul Wellstone (D-MN); Ron Wyden (D-OR)


Ironically, Hillary didn't stand with her most liberal partymates and one aisle-crosser.

Edwards voted for it too, but that doesn't stop him and Obama from being buddy-buddy. nor does it stop him from blasting Hillary too. (Link)


All the democratic candidates (both now) have voted for plenty of stupid bills. This one was actually important, and the one who couldn't vote on it should not get a free pass since no-one knows what he would have done.

Somebody, Anybody tell me what good Obama has done for this nation, or even for his state during his time in the Senate.

Hillary voted for the war... probably the smartest thing she's ever done... backing out, however, could be among the dumbest.
