- Hard-Core Antiwar Left Not Ready to Forgive Hillary Clinton -- National Journal (article link here)
During a protest on Monday, some activists said that they are not willing to forgive Hillary Clinton for her part in the Iraq War.
From the article:
"We're not going to forgive her, despite her best effort to whitewash her history," said Brian Becker, the executive director of the antiwar ANSWER Coalition, which formed in the run-up to the Iraq War. "We consider Hillary Clinton to be almost a part of the neoconservative establishment."06-18-2014 11:09 PMLike 0 - Hard-Core Antiwar Left Not Ready to Forgive Hillary Clinton -- National Journal (article link here)

I can't help wonder what other tactics the right wing will try considering the vacuum created by the tea party trying to prop up right wing candidates that are too far right for the country.
For the record, I don't know if I like the idea of Hillary Clinton in office. The only silver lining in her possible presidency is that at least under her husband, we had a budget surplus.06-19-2014 07:05 AMLike 0 - If Hilary wants the nomination, she needs to hide until the debate starts and avoid ANY press(especially bad press) until then. The political process for presidential elections is like water flowing over rocks. The more attention you have, the quicker you are worn down and destroyed. Going into the race as the "front runner" is usually very bad. Everyone(including your own party) will work to destroy you. Then by the time the nomination happens, someone else that had less attention in the beginning usually looks like a better option.
This "antiwar" group is just looking to get attention for their cause. Tearing down Hilary for her inconsistent record is just an easy target with guaranteed press.GadgetGator likes this.06-19-2014 10:45 AMLike 1 - If Hilary wants the nomination, she needs to hide until the debate starts and avoid ANY press(especially bad press) until then.

Notice I never said anyone was telling here to do anything. I said she needed to lay low. My words. No one else's.
Ted Cruz will probably be unelectable by the time of the nomination just like Hilary probably will be. He is surrounded by too much controversy and has too much attention leading up to the primaries.
And the current king of stupid comments is Joe Biden. Unless you want a massive distraction, it is best to keep him away from any microphones.06-19-2014 12:07 PMLike 0 - Reading comprehension is your friend! Do not neglect it.

No need for condescension.

Do you think Hillary Clinton made the right decision in voting for the Iraq War?06-19-2014 07:21 PMLike 0 - I would consider his comments more gaffes than actual "stupid" comments. To me what constitutes a stupid comment is when someone from a certain party insists something like when a woman is raped, her body can shut down the fertilization process, or when a politician insists that female healthcare shouldn't be covered by healthcare insurance companies.06-19-2014 09:00 PMLike 0

I'm thankful that the tea party nuts have turned the GOP primaries into a "Lets try to force the most right wing candidate through to the primaries so he can lose in the general election" circus. And yes I said "he", because there is no way the GOP finds an authentic female candidate to run in 2016.A895 likes this.06-20-2014 09:08 AMLike 1

- One that doesn't seem like just a figure head (and by figure head, I mean mostly air-head). Sarah Palin doesn't seem like a true contender (for President NOR Vice President), Michele Bachmann also doesn't seem viable as a candidate. I can't think of any other real legitimate contenders on the GOP's side. I liken Elizabeth Warren's chances at becoming President (and actually welcome it) more than I see Sarah or Michele. As a matter of fact, I would love to see Elizabeth Warren debate any female the GOP thinks is worthy of a nomination. I would pay for it on Pay-Per-View even.msndrstood likes this.06-20-2014 03:10 PMLike 1

Hillary Clinton is a target because she favors aggressive action. She has a reputation for being a hawk. The ANSWER Coalition believes that she only changed her mind about the Iraq War for political reasons, not because she really had a change of heart. Therefore, they believe she is dangerous, and they don't want to see her as president.06-24-2014 02:17 AMLike 0 - From what I can tell, the ANSWER Coalition appears to be against war in general. So they will protest against anyone (Republican, Democrat, or independent) who votes in favor of war.

When it comes down to it though, with the Tea Party pushing a ridiculous agenda, if the Republican party runs with Rand Paul, I'll vote for Hillary out of spite. I say that as a Moderate Republican (Fiscal issues- Conservative, social issues - Moderate)
