She basically voted with Bush on domestic spying, torture, authorization to use force in Iraq and Afghanistan, Guantanamo, and Patriot Acts I and II. Along with Joe Lieberman she introduced the Family Entertainment protection act (saving us all from dirty video games.) She voted in favor of naming the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as a "terrorist organization," when Bush was spoiling for a fight with them. She might as well have been a Republican for the last 7 years.
She abdicated her responsibility to put the wars up for a healthy debate, she abdicated her responsibility to be a check on the over reaching power of the Executive branch. She is not the right choice.
