Race or Gender? Neither Rises to the Level of the Real Question Which is All About Iraq.
One candidate supported the war in Iraq: HIllary Clinton

One candidate opposed the war in Iraq: Barack Obama.

The choice in front of us has nothing to do with race or gender. It's all about this fucking war that has cost the lives of 1 million Iraqi civilians.

One candidate was wrong. And one candidate was right.

That's the choice. There is no other issue that rises to that level. None.

It's all about Iraq.

6. Thank you,, FrenchieCat for keeping it real.
The distinction between the two candidates is clear. One supported this war and one clearly opposed it.

And that is going to be my only issue until the nomination is determined. The rest is distraction.

15. Your question should be "why did they all vote to fund it?"
See Senator Kennedy's voting record here: http://www.votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=53305

7. Spamming DU doesn't change the truth about Obama's Fairy Tale record on Iraq.
He gave a small speech one time at a small rally, and then fell silent.
When asked later it was 'I don't know how I would've voted on the IRW" and "my position on Iraq is the same as George Bush's"...

And your spam is meaningless. It is boring.

2. And the mindset
that allowed one candidate's "experts" to accept and promote the WMD intelligence; and the other who rejected that intelligence and chose to surround himself with experts who also rejected that intelligence.

Hillary is STILL listening to the same damn Democratic experts who believed the WMD intelligence. That's why she voted for Kyl-Lieberman. They believe in the US global domination policy.

4. Absolutely! And I'm going to be talking a lot here from now on about Iraq. Join me.
It's the issue that Hillary does not want discussed, isn't it?

11. Oh, but she wants a debate on foreign policy
isn't that what she said yesterday? I wish they would really get into the details of foreign policy, oil, minerals, shipping lanes, and what those billions of military dollars are really paying for.

5. If Iraq mattered to Democrats Bill Richardson would be our nominee.
It doesn't, so he isn't.

10. Now I've seen it all. We have a DU'er who boldly posts that Iraq doesn't matter.
Edited on Sun Mar-02-08 05:19 PM by David Zephyr
You actually have the indecency to say that Iraq doesn't matter?

Now I understand you. You are the DU'er who says Iraq doesn't matter.

12. Don't put words in my mouth. I supported Richardson because Iraq DOES matter.
Edited on Sun Mar-02-08 05:22 PM by MethuenProgressive
We're left with Obama and Clinton as choices because you people don't think Iraq matters.

13. Your post #5 says the war doesn't matter.
Unless there is a parallel language to English that uses words to suggest the opposite of their meaning.
