Hillary's willingness to use the military based on trumped up lies disqualifies her as CIC.

The position of Commander in Chief is an awesome responsibility upon which rests not only the lives of our American soldiers, but also the lives of innocent civilians abroad (perhaps by a factor of 10 or even 1,000).

Hillary's willingness to send the military and/or to send weapons, drones, strikes and other projections of force without proper assurances that the cause is right and true signals her lack of qualifications for the job.

We do NOT want any more military interventions of choice. If you agree, you would be wise not to vote for Hillary as our Democratic candidate.

1. GOP neocon Robert Kagan, co-founder of PNAC was an adviser for SoS Clinton & he's endorsed her.

Considering how Hillary pushed for military conflict as SoS this is not surprising....

Clinton did not say he was not qualified to be President.. He used QUOTES..and it was not said. He can not get a media report straight. How can he run the country?

Lie: when she promised unions she'd fight the Colombia Free Trade Agreement but her released emails prove she actively lobbied for it.

Lie: when she says she was always for LGBT rights - but she only came out against DOMA in 2013 whereas before she actively supported it.

Lie: when both her and Chelsea say that Bernie wasn't to repeal or get rid of the ACA, Medicare, Medicaid, etc...

Corruption: Changing her position on the bankruptcy bill and voting for it - after receiving donations from banks.

Corruption: pay-for-play arms deals to mid east countries in exchange for millions to Clinton Foundation.

Here's a few more for your viewing pleasure:

5. Is every new post going to 1. make a claim and 2) combine it with the word "disqualified"
Wed Apr 6, 2016, 11:07 PM

...or some variant involving the word "qualified"?

Look, Bernie overreacted a little to what he heard, so what? who cares? I don't. It's his right to say whatever he wants, the voters will decide what they like and dislike. My opinion is irrelevant.

I already voted, so my opinion carries little value here, the typical voter (and they aren't here on DU) will decide which arguments they like best.

So far nobody has pointed to a quote that wasn't made up by a right-winger on "newsbusters".
