Which is worse

[ProSense]

Obama's McClurkin flap or Hillary's Kyl-Lieberman vote?

[AlCzervik]

1. both terrible.

[Sandaasu]

2. Both are bad enoguh to keep my support away.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Could You Please Remind Me How Obama Voted On Kyl-Lieberman?

DSB

[AlCzervik]

5. "not voting" you mean that one?

[cuke]

11. While co-sponsoring S.970 which declared the IRG a terrorist organization

but I'm told that could not be used as a pretext to attack Iran

[Mellowtone]

4. No problem

people in America have allowed free speech for bigots ever since 1787!

Few people have voted for George W Bush to launch another war.. that's novel... Hillary is definitely a novel candidate, voting to give George all he wants to wage another war........Obama, allowing for free speech.... now which is worse?

[illinoisprogressive]

6. a vote for war and death - nothing compares

[AlCzervik]

7. so thats why Obama was "/not voting" instead of coting against he just decided

not to vote.

[CTLawGuy]

12. the vote was scheduled at the last minute by H. Reid

while Obama was away.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

17. Obama didn't vote because Reid told him there wouldn't be a vote that day

Obama had 2 campaign stops to make and would have had a very difficult time making a flight to DC in between them. Reid (whose son just happens to be working on Clinton's campaign) announced on the Senate floor that he would hold the vote for a week. So Obama went on the trip and was informed the next day that the vote was going down. He at least got a chance to tell the press that he would have voted against it.

20. That is bullshit.

"Reid (whose son just happens to be working on Clinton's campaign) announced on the Senate floor that he would hold the vote for a week."

Now he announced it was off for a week? My this tale grows more fanciful each time Obama supporters tell it. So prove Reid announced on the Senate floor the vote was off for a week. You can simply cite the Senate transcripts (hint the statement you seek does not exist so I would not waste too much time)

"So Obama went on the trip and was informed the next day that the vote was going down."

Ummm Obama went up to ME that evening while planning to attend the NH debate the next day like the other Democratic Senators who are running for President.

"Obama had 2 campaign stops to make and would have had a very difficult time making a flight to DC in between them."

Campaigning was more important than his duties as Senator...we knew that already.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. I Agree

Can you please link the speech Obama made on the Senate floor opposing the bill before he voted against it...

Thank you...

[BayouBengal07]

9. Huh?

What was Kyl-Lieberman? Either way I don't see either of these stories gaining national traction.

[sandnsea]

10. It's all politics

Nothing matters except the dirt that can be thrown.

[Der Blaue Engel]

13. So now we're going to compare evils?

Really?

[goodgd_yall]

15. You're wise not to take the hook n/t

[goodgd_yall]

14. Both

I withdrew my support after HRC's vote on Kyl/Lieberman and now there is no question I'll NOT vote for Obama.

[Colobo]

16. A war with Iran is much more serious than McCluck.

[rucky]

18. These are the questions I like to ask of our frontrunners.

Democrats: Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory since 2000.

[LWolf]

19. They are both unacceptable. n/t

[bigwillq]

21. They both should not be tolerated.

Or accepted. :mad: We have other candidates who are more qualified and more sensitive to the needs of the Democratic party. That's why DK will get my vote.

[zulchzulu]

22. Bad gospel singer vs. thousands dead, millions spent, reputation in the sewer...

There is no comparison.

Apples and boiling villages steaming with the blood of the innocent...

[FredScuttle]

23. And then you wonder why so many epithets are being hurled at you

there you go again...minimizing bigotry.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. It's Sad

It's fucking sad some people here would turn other people's pain into a political football...

Maybe , if they walked a mile in their shoes they would feel differently...

[FredScuttle]

25. As if this were only about a "bad gospel singer"

n/t

[Forkboy]

26. How about they both suck and people should be pissed about both?

Or do we have to choose just one fuckup to be upset about per campaign?

[Perry Logan]

27. Obama's McClurkin flap by a length

[FlaxieB]

28. Kyl-Lieberman: we don't need 3 wars all at once, risking american lives

for dominance and profit.
