Hillary Clinton, like the neoconservatives, has vivid flashbacks to the Cold War. |
|
"There's an idea out there that these people have an ideology or mindset that drives them to be martyrs. I don't buy it, but we must test it..."
Not an exact quote, but you get the message.
Deterrence is not enough? Who last ran on that campaign plank? Oh, that's right - Barry Goldwater, for whom Clinton worked while in college.
She is dead to me.

4. "Liberal social policies" - I'd dispute that. |
|
We can expect to see no major action in regards to gay marriage under a Clinton Administration.

6. Well, that's probably true... but she won't allow Roe V. Wade |
|
to be overturned. At least I don't think she would.
(Here I am defending Hillary... OMG!!!)
She is on KO (repeat) right now, and I loath her SO MUCH that I have the sound off, at least until her segment is over.

"if it's not an exact quote, why put quote marks around it"
Because it's the gist of her quote and you bloody well know it.
I'm fully aware of Obama's remarks about Iran. I'm also aware about the political expediency required to fund the war for a Presidential hopeful. I simply don't buy the notion that she dislikes war. So sorry.
