1. i bet she doesnt have to

i bet the rest of congross is so sewed up that she can garner more support for voting against it while it still goes through, hooray corporate lobbiest and the votes they can depend on.

[Jacobin]

4. Yep. Its Kabuki at its best

Trading who is gonna vote for and against what for sound bites. Congress does not represent the people.

9. No matter WHAT she does, it's evil. DUers slay me.

[Cha]

13. Yeah, we're on their shit

now.

[TwilightZone]

2. I'm sure that's still not satisfactory to some. I await the bizarro explanation...

about why she should be voting for it.

[rodeodance]

3. Nothing she does will satisfy some.

[TwilightZone]

7. Right on cue.

In this very thread.

;)

[fenriswolf]

5. because her corporate masters would

be greatfull for even more money poured into their coifers, although i'm sure they understand that if hillary makes any more startling revalations about her platforms or where she really lies all the media coverage in the world wont save her.

17. spell check is your friend,,,,

[Jacobin]

6. This.

If a presidential contender in congress is serious about showing leadership, it would seem appropriate for her not to simply vote against it, but to attempt some leadership in the Senate to show that she can be persuasive and, well, lead.

Its all too easy for congresscritters to horse trade over who is going to vote for what to appease a particular constituency back home. That is not what I am looking for in a presidential candidate.

Feel free to flame away.

[TwilightZone]

8. Perhaps she will do just that.

Do you have proof to the contrary?

[Jacobin]

10. Hmm

How would I have proof to the contrary of what hasn't happened yet?

This is simply my prediction based upon watching politicians for the last 50 some odd years.

I certainly hope I am wrong and that you are right. If she is able to lead the Senate to starve this war to death, I will not only applaud her efforts, but will work tirelessly to help her get elected. Even if she makes a good faith effort to lead the Senate in that direction, I will be ecstatic.

We shall see shortly, no?

[truedelphi]

11. I think what you are saying is emminently sensible. n/t

[TwilightZone]

12. That's my point, actually.

It hasn't even happened yet, but that didn't stop you from jumping on the "she's trading votes" bandwagon.

[Jacobin]

14. okay

I don't think we are arguing over whether its happened or not yet, or at least I hope not, because that would be silly.

I'm simply predicting what will happen, and as stated above, I hope I am wrong and you are right. I'm no longer in the mood for theatre and positioning, particularly over this war. I'm in the mood for serious leadership and risk taking to end the clusterfuck SHE helped to start.

Peace.

[fenriswolf]

15. preach it my brotha

[OzarkDem]

16. Glad to hear it

regardless of the reason. At least she's showing some respect for the views of the majority of Americans who want to end this war.
