Showing Original Post only (View all)What did Hillary think after Senator Byrd gave this speech? [View all]
One of the most impassioned and moving speeches I have ever seen given in the Senate chambers.
If you have not seen it or have not watched it recently, please do so. It is a reminder that for some, the vote to go to war was not done so frivolously, the lives of those later to be taken not dismissed so easily, the interpretation not so nuanced as some now say it was.

Your claim is false. Give it a rest already. Some of us actually remember the 2008 primary.

Trying to conflate 9/11 with the Iraq war is the domain of lying and/or stupid Republicans.

Really? You don't think the speech is by definition intended to encourage people to vote with her?

I already responded to your "point." See Reply 56. Rephrasing it doesn't help you.

Yawn. Pardon me. Make that alert if you think a well documented post violates ANY board rule.

Who am I to "forgive" a war vote? Is Byrd even running for President this season?

Yeah Byrd, who Clinton called “friend and mentor”+“a man of unsurpassing eloquence and nobility.”
