(135,425 posts)If you're going to beat people up for supporting the Patriot Act, let's dig up the corpses of Ted Kennedy and Paul Wellstone, and you can give them a few whacks, too, while you're at it. And quick like a bunny now, why don't you grab a piece of pipe and kneecap SECSTATE Kerry and shove him under that sanctimonious bus, because he voted YEA, too!
And let's beat up every single one of the other 94 senators, aside from those four, who voted for it as well--or perhaps your memory of that vote is a bit weak?
Or maybe you think HRC is so powerful that she used her "wiles" to persuade 97 other senators to vote the way she did? Why do you single her out for a PATRIOT ACT vote and not expect anyone to notice?
Naaaah, let's just hold HRC to account for that vote--just her, and no one else.
And if you think Warren wouldn't have voted YEA as well, you don't know her at ALL. She has three brothers and a son who served in the military, she's not a swords into plowshares type. She's for a sensible and effective national defense, as most of us in the Democratic Party are.
And as for this steaming load:
A liberal would not support the TPP or NAFTA or CAFTA. I dont think a liberal would appoint Penny Pritzker, or Ben Bernanke or Larry Summers.
I think you are confusing a middle aged white woman who was originally from IL with a biracial gentleman who was born in HI and moved to IL before he became POTUS.
Stop CONFLATING. It's tiresome and obvious. HRC hasn't "appointed" ANYONE and she used to work for the guy who made those decisions.
But hey, thanks for making it easy.
