(12,931 posts)Would you agree that citing HC's vote for the IWR is legitimate criticism, and were you convinced by the Bush administrations assertions that Iraq posed a "grave and gathering threat" to the United States and war was necessary?
DU at that time was a good source of legitimate information which convinced the vast majority of us here that Bush was lying and the war was not only unnecessary but would be a terrible disaster. A US senator should have known better, and I doubt Hillary was fooled. Her vote for the IWR is inexcusable, and as far as I'm concerned disqualifies her for POTUS. Same goes for John Kerry, Joe Biden, and anyone else who supported invading Iraq in 2003.
I will, of course, vote for the Democratic nominee in the general election because any Republican would be orders of magnitude worse. But I sincerely hope Hillary Clinton will not be our nominee.
