For some reason every time I bring these votes up everybody ignores them. But hope springs eternal, so I continue to hope that some wise Hillary supporter will help me.
The Iraq war authorization. The Patriot Act. The bankruptcy bill. The Iran "terrorist" vote. On each of these important issues Hillary voted with the Republicans and George W. Bush, and against the Democrats.
Why?
Please, can't someone tell me why?
And if you don't know: could you tell me why you, as (presumably) a Democrat, are so eager to support a candidate who has voted against our party so many times? And on such critical issues?
What tangible achievements does Hillary bring to the table that offset those votes?
sigh...somehow, I don't think anyone will answer.
