This fighter stuff is tired are irrelevant to the current disaster she is leading our party toward.

I backed her originally because I thought she would bowl over all the competition. But she's been awful. Now she's turned "cracker" in order to beat Obama.

Time for her to apologize and hang it up.

1. "Time for her to apologize and hang it up." Thats not going to happen...
She is hell bent on destroying both Obama and the Democratic party, she is a troll.

2. She didn't fight because she either believed Bush's lies,
or she thought that politically it would benefit her not to fight it.

If only she'd have taken responsibility for that mistake *before* she started running.

3. she didn't fight the IWR
because she needs to appear TOUGH, so the IWR made her appear tougher. She constantly battles the "weak woman" appearance. she will do anything to not be labeled weak. IMO, she's just too TOUGH.

4. Why don't you guys ask yourselves why...
didn't Edwards, Kerry, and Biden fight the IWR? They seem to have been mesmerized as well.

This is such a tired old topic, you guys really should give it a rest.

But, you won't.

6. I will never give that a rest.
She should have thought about it when she did it. That was her chance to prove what she's made of, and she failed miserably. Only if we forget can she claim to be a great leader.

9. I voted for Kerry in 04...
because there was no one else running who hadn't voted for the IWR. (GE). Also, Biden, Kerry and Edwards have all said that their vote was wrong. or apologized.

and NO I won't give it a rest. our sons and daughters are dying EVERY day in Iraq--in a war we shouldn't be in. I don't know how you can "give it a rest". combine that bad vote with the vote to label the Iran Military terrorists, with the vote against banning cluster bombs and this week's comment about "OBLITERATING" Iran--this is NOT a pattern I want to repeat.

5. Because she only fights for herself
She thought her political future was contingent on getting aboard that pro-war bandwagon back then.

8. Hillary doesn't fight Republicans.
Her only "fight" is against actual Democrats who are sick to death of the DLC.
