A moment of cowardice
This weekend, Hillary Clinton was, once again, asked about the war. Among the fanboys, someone asked her why she had not renounced her vote on Iraq.
And again, she mumbled some cowardly answer, whereupon the voter said "I cannot vote for her"
This is only going to repeat itself. And her ridiculous boast that she would end the war in 2009 made me nearly vomit. 2009? Another two years of death? Are you kidding me?
Hillary Clinton is a coward when it counts. She and her advisers are still living in 1992, thinking they can convince the right she isn't that bad and that they can pacify the left. Clinton is a rohrschact test for voters. She's a feminist hero for being married to the president, a liberal for taking no liberal stands, and a potential president because she lived in the white house.
People are talking about how much money Clinton was raising , not the fact that she hasn't taken on significant stand on an issue beside videogames.
It matters that she didn't opposed the war, it matters that she hasn't renounced her vote. The fanboys around her imagine they can create a new Hillary, but they are still thinking there's a center. It doesn't exist. They probably think they can play the online community as well. In fact, they act like they csan bullshit their way to the White House because of Hillary the shape shifter.
If her team thinks they can finesse the Iraq war, humiliation is sure to follow.
