How will Hillary and Obama vote on final passage of the Iraq War Funding Bill?

[jefferson_dem]

What do you think? :shrug:

[illinoisprogressive]

1. I think Hillary has said it would be yes. I think obama will go no

[William769]

11. "I think".

Is that like Gonzo's "I don't recall"?

[Forkboy]

12. You never say "I think"?

Do you just know things without thinking? How does this process work?

When people share an OPINION they tend to start with,"I think".

Jeez...someone says "I think" and you compare them to Gonzo. :eyes:

[William769]

13. Well if the shoe fits.

[Forkboy]

14. Hillary is in good hands.

:thumbsup:

[William769]

15. Why thank you.

[draft_mario_cuomo]

2. Their ominous silence on the capitulation suggests they will both vote for the bill

I still hope Obama winds up voting against it but it is clear how Hawk Clinton will vote...

[primative1]

18. I was watching CSPAN last week ...

I was watching last week when this bills passage cleared the senate. Obama was actualy the chair that day .... he looked so bored, like this is so routine, ho-hum.

[jgraz]

3. Both will vote against it once they're assured that it will pass

They're not stupid. They want the issue to use against a potential Rethug opponent, but they know that a vote for this collapse will end their campaigns.

[Tellurian]

4. Obama will do whatever Hillary does..

He always follows the Leader!

(btw) you should have added this answer as a choice!

[draft_mario_cuomo]

5. Why does Obama have a more progressive record than HRC then?

[jefferson_dem]

6. So, as a Hillary supporter, which way do you think she will vote?

Which way do you hope she does vote? Seriously, i'm curious.

For the record, i predict Hillary will vote "yea" and Obama will vote "nay" which would go against your "follow the leader" nonsense... But we'll see.

[Telly Savalas]

8. I doesn't matter, because whatever Sen. Clinton does, it's the right decision.

[William769]

10. No truer words spoken.

[jefferson_dem]

16. Just like the Bushbot myrmidons...

[William769]

17. Well it takes a "Bushbot myrmidons" to know one.

[Tellurian]

21. zing!

:toast:

[jefferson_dem]

22. You're easily impressed, i must say. But why not answer the question?

Which way will / should Hillary vote?

[draft_mario_cuomo]

26. What are the focus groups saying?

That is how HRC will vote...

[Tellurian]

37. daft_mario_cuomo

why not ask Obama's focus group how he should vote..

Oh, JD already did that!..in the OP..

[William769]

32. Speaking of easily impressed.

Obama? :rofl:

She will vote how she votes. Once she votes then I'll say weather I agree with it or not.

[jefferson_dem]

35. But how will she vote? How do you want her to vote? That's the point of the OP.

Seems supporters of "Queen Hillary" don't actually care one way or the other how she votes.

... Much like the sort of blind, slavish obedience the Bushobots are known for ...

Good luck with that, eh. :toast:

[William769]

36. I think I was pretty clear in my answer. Please let me know what part you didn't understand.

ON EDIT: any prudent person would want to see the final bill being voted on before they make a decision. Now who's the Bushbot?

[IndianaGreen]

7. This is not "Driving Miss Daisy"

and Obama is not Hillary's lapdog, or chauffer.

[Tellurian]

19. You never fail to miss the mark!

With barely 2 yrs of legislative experience, Obama is nothing more than an intern following the leadership of an extremely popular candidate who knows what she's doing and why she is the indisputable front runner bar none!

[IndianaGreen]

48. What is this Clinton obsession with interns?

If it isn't Bill treating his employee as an intern to be sexually taken advantage of, or this declaration that an African-American US Senator, a peer, is to be spoken of as some office intern and disrespected to boot, one could say that perhaps the Clintons have a problem with misogyny and "white man's (or woman's) burden."

[Tellurian]

51. Listen up! When I need an opinion on my posts...

If you were the last person on earth, I wouldn't give you the satisfaction of my consideration.

[IndianaGreen]

53. Consider how disrespectful and racist it sounds to refer to Obama as Hillary's intern

To put it in the other shoe, what you are said is akin to referring to Hillary as Senator Byrd's door mat.

[Tellurian]

54. hardly! n/t

[Grandrose]

28. Sounds a bit condescending!!!

What do you mean by leader? Last time I checked Senator Obama was her peer!:eyes:

[Tellurian]

38. Obama is not her peer. He is not an equal in her accomplishments and strength..

The only thing they have in common besides a general party affiliation
is they can cast one vote 'aye' or 'nay' when a Senate vote is called for.

She Leads, Obama follows..

[Grandrose]

40. Like I said condescending and you proved my point!

Hmmmm..... not equal in accomplishments and strength are in the eyes of the beholder!

Supporters like you will do your peerless, unequaled candidate more harm than good!
Trust me, a little humility will go a long way!:think:

[Tellurian]

41. Peer, most likely wasn't an appropriate word to use..

a fellow Congress person would have been a better choice of words.

I didn't write the Dictionary..Webster did- you can look up the word "peer" and read for yourself the exact definition and how it doesn't apply, imo anyway.

[jefferson_dem]

42. Obama's not Hillary's "peer"? He's an "intern"?

You're sounding more and more like a bigoted "freeper-type" every day.

Shame on you.

[Tellurian]

43. The shame is on you

showing your ignorance in a civil discussion, milking it for all it's worth in a lame attempt to support your agenda.

[laugle]

47. I believe "colleague" would be the appropriate word.

[Tellurian]

49. Perfectly appropriate.. I say!

[laugle]

46. My sentiments exactly--but only

because that seems to be a pattern with Obama.

I think he admires and respects her a lot!

[Tellurian]

52. Agreed..

and for good measure, throw in a tablespoon full of Fear!

[w4rma]

9. If Obama's past record holds, Obama will vote however Hillary votes.

TPM Compare And Contrast: Hillary And Obama's Votes On Iraq
…
Of the total of 69 votes we compiled -- some significant, some not -- it turns out that the two differed on only one.
…
As you can see, Clinton and Obama have voted the opposite way on only one vote on our list: The confirmation of General George Casey to be Chief of Staff for the Army, held just this past February. Hillary voted against confirmation, while Obama voted to confirm.

[rinsd]

29. Bill Clinton was right!

:evilgrin:

[More Than A Feeling]

20. If they vote yes, then Edwards, Richardson, and Dodd gain a huge advantage.

I doubt either of them will let that happen. They'll vote no.

[LeFleur1]

23. Crystal Ball

Now y'all are becoming like the media. "Tim, (or whoever) Look into your crystal ball and tell us what will happen next." ;)

[More Than A Feeling]

24. Hey, I resent that, I didn't make you watch a bunch of lame commercials to get my worthless opinion!

Also, I'm not shilling for any corporate owners.:silly:

[Bullet1987]

27. Blind partisanship anyone?

I doesn't matter, because whatever Sen. Clinton does, it's the right decision.

Hmm...sounds like more blind party politics to me. Clinton will most likely vote 'YAY' for it. I'm hoping Obama doesn't disappoint and support this garbage of a bill...if not, his name is coming off my sig!!

[Forkboy]

25. I'm going to the crazy thing and wait until they actually cast it.

I'm wacky like that sometimes.

[rinsd]

30. "I'm wacky like that sometimes."

:silly:

[ElizabethDC]

33. Don't go all rational on us, Forkboy

wouldn't you enjoy expressing a little anger over some votes that haven't been cast yet? Most of the other folks around here seem to be enjoying it. :sarcasm:

[Forkboy]

39. Well,I wouldn't worry about that happening.

This is just a fluke. :D

[CTLawGuy]

34. what ,that's insane!!

if they're not against it within ten seconds, they're out and I'll go vote for the guy that gladly voted to start this war in the frist place and whose pro-war editorial Bush put on his website.

:crazy:

[Dancing_Dave]

31. I know Hillary will vote "yeah".

I'm not so sure about Obama. If he does vote "nay" I'll trust him a lot more than I do now.

[MonkeyFunk]

44. I believe they will both vote No

[Mark Twain Girl]

45. I'm guessing no on both counts -- political expedience being the main concern for both. n/t

[Tellurian]

50. Quick Recap...Only 12 % of the posters here called it right!

not a very good showing for the Left/Progressive/Liberal Majority here. Is it?

The 'base' had it right though... somewhat encouraging-
