Hundreds of thousands of innocent people have been killed

[Syrinx]

Hundreds of thousands of innocent people have been killed.

Additional millions have been displaced from their homes.

Millions more are without electrical or sanitation services.

And all this, because Hillary Clinton voted for the war.

She was planning on running for president, so she couldn't vote against the war, because she couldn't appear weak!

Pretty ironic, huh?

She could have spoken out against the needless war, and the ensuing carnage and poverty and misery.

Yet, she went the way the wind blew, and voted to authorize a maniacal president to do whatever he wanted.

Couldn't look weak on terror, don't you know. Even though Iraq had nothing to do with the attacks on our so-called "homeland."

I urge you all to reject the Clinton doctrine of careless ambition, and vote for Barack Obama.

Obama, I grant you, is ambitious. Anyone that runs for president necessarily is.

But he has thrown the Establishment for a loop, and he has them running scared.

To my way of thinking, that is a GOOD THING!

Support the peaceful overthrow of the Establishment! Support Obama!

1. And Obama voted to continue funding it

2. No, he voted to continue funding for the soldiers

to have the equipment and supplies they need. There is a big difference.

3. idiot post of the day

"And all this, because Hillary Clinton voted for the war."

gee, a couple of others voted for the resolution too. And maybe everything that has transpired since was not actually spelled out in the resolution as guaranteed outcome. I don't think there were checkboxes for "Kill Hundreds of thousands of innocent people." or "Displace millions from their homes."

Obama has a lot in his favor, but this ridiculous claim does not further his cause. It is so stupid and illogical as to make anyone who utters it appear about as intelligent as flat-earthers or creationists. It says she single-handedly was the direct cause of all the tragic aftermath of the botched occupation. Sometimes hyperbole is not a good debating technique. There are better ways to draw a distinction between them that reasonable people just might consider, and by which they might be influenced.

4. Bush's War is our war. It is OUR moral failure.

THE great moral failure of our time. Ranks right up their with Slavery and Genocide of Native Americans.

Everyone who voted for the IWR and Everyone who has keep quiet about this Horrible Crime needs to recognize EXACTLY what they've done and make reparations.

And that includes ALL OF THE CHURCHES WHO LEAD THEIR SHEEPLE INTO SUPPORTING the Bush administration in this evil madness, because, if they don't, then we are indeed DAMNED.

5. And WE all allowed Bush to get voted in TWICE.

I'm sure many of you know by now that I'm the last person to support Clinton but at this point who even cares that she voted for the war? WE royally fucked up two elections in a row by running shitty candidates with boring messages that didn't inspire democrats to vote en masse. It seems that this time we might actually have one of those winning candidates (yes, Obama AND Clinton can rally dems far better than stupid Kerry) and neither of them want to continue this war that the failures of our party allowed to happen. This is the year where we can fix it.

6. Thank You. This whole idea that bad things happen because of OTHERS

is, MOST of the time, completely invalid.

WE are creating all of this shit and then blaming anyone but ourselves. People get mad at one another because of the shit and on and on and on it goes FOREVER. Just look anywhere and you can see that this IS what is happening.
