So Hillary is a war nut? L0oniX May 2015 #107

Hillary is not a war nut: the only one who is Tom Cotton, he says we can take Iran in 7 days! lewebley3 May 2015 #171

Do keep up the "gun nut" tag. I don't think it has the impact you think... Eleanors38 May 2015 #141

I haven't called him that... brooklynite May 2015 #154

I understand, but you should be clearer. To be clear, I'm not fond of Clinton's record on war. Eleanors38 May 2015 #160

I was asking someone else a question. Did you mean to respond to someone else? nt MADem May 2015 #45

No. I meant to ask you a question. merrily May 2015 #47
