““Trust me. She voted to declare the Iranian Republican Guard a terrorist organisation!”
Uhhhhhh ..... Roger, perhaps you need some understanding of the world .....”
It always makes me want to vomit when people criticize Hillary Clinton for one of the few things she’s done that I actually agree with. I have to remind myself I’m defending the vote, not the person. This vote, her motive notwithstanding, was the right one. Her vote to authorize force in Iraq was the right one. And this nimrod, if he knew half as much about politics as he thinks he does, would know that Obama himself did NOT vote against the terrorist classification. Indeed, he didn’t even bother to show up!
The media keeps harping that policy-wise there’s no difference between Obama and Clinton, so people should just vote for Obama so they aren’t propogating the “Bradley Effect.” But there are differences, substantial ones. And I find myself, increasingly, in the position where I’m finding Obama’s supporters are so *completely* insane, that they almost make Clinton look, if not good, then definitely not as terrible by comparison.
The fact that I am having to defend a vote Hillary Clinton made makes me sick to my stomach, but there’s no denying that she’s the moderate in this race. That Obama isn’t just a little to her left, but WAYYY over there. And that’s a scary, scary place to be... Knowing that this man is within shouting distance of the nomination and the White House.
