Hillary Clinton is officially off my "potentials" list. No vote. Not now.
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 03:26 PM by Walt Starr
After her husband defended the non-response by the Bushes, I'm done with the Clintons forever.

If it's Clinton running against any Republican, I'll go third party or I'll vote Republican. I will NOT vote for Hillary.

1. Can you post Clinton's response?
Not that I would need it NOT to support the Senator.

8. Basically that Chimpy is doing everything right and in a
timely fashion. Claims that "nobody could've forseen" this. Doesn't bat an eye when Monkey the Elder says that "nobody knew the levees would fail."

Clinton lost me, too.

2. I can't vote repuke. Ever.
So it'll be third party if I ever am faced with that choice.

12. Why not?
Vote third party and you'll be reviled forever -- "you gave us the Chimp!"

Vote Republican and you'll get a cute nickname -- Reagan Democrat. And the party will move heaven and earth to woo you back -- "this is not a liberal party, we need those conservative-middle votes."

18. Pfffft.
No thanks. And I don't care who reviles me, my vote is MY choice.

I have never voted repuke and I'm not about to start doing it now. No. Not ever. I cannot vote for morally bankrupt people.

3. Forget Her
She doesn't take any stance right now, she is just waiting to see how the wind blows. Leadership is something we all will be looking for, that man could be Wes Clark, we will see. He has blasted Bush for lack of leadership all they way around recently.

13. He's not defending - he's doing what every ex-president is suppose to do
it's an un-written code to not be critical of the person occupying the White House.

Anyhow Hillary seems to be a pretty idependant minded woman. Have you heard what SHE says about all of this. Why not base your decision on that!!!

Geez, that's like tombstoning me from DU because you found out my mother voted for Bush

30. That's called defending the current policy
Where I come from it's also called lack of integrity, no guts, testicles in a jar, and a few others I can't recall at the moment.

We here at DU already know that something like this was a possibility
and on several other threads there are the stories that are at least a year old, where the funding was slashed by this administration.

Personally I don't see where Clinton owes anything to the same party that tried to have him removed from office for a blow job, and yet will do nothing about a sociopathic serial killer whose lies have resulted in the deaths of Iraqis, Afghans, US military personnel, and military personnel of the Coalition of the Willing.

To stand with Bush, is to stand with Nero, watching as Rome burns.

Hillary hasn't said anything yet, why? And don't point at the other Dems, most of them are not being looked at to run for President, she is. So we should expect more from her.

17. First one I would vote for
I doubt she'll miss your vote too much - doesn't sound like you were ever much of a supporter. And what does her husband have to do with her. Sound just like the republicans. You've got them - you can have them along with anybody else that wants to destroy this country.

20. Dean and Clark
have both shown the only leadership during this time as far as I'm concerned

And CLARK is looking more and more like absolute presidential material

I supported him lukewarmly last time

He's damn sure probably gonna get my vote the next time!

25. Clark -- get to know him, you'll like what he says...
"I'm a liberal"
Opposed Iraw from the start.
Strong on social issues/individual freedom.
Not afraid of gay voters (was on cover of The Advocate in a tee, I'm not kidding...looked good to, in shape)
Not afraid of Republicans...bitched out Faux reporters.

He had too steep a learning curve and he was sandbaged by that General who knows "a secret" that never existed.

I find him exemplary and someone I could be proud of for a change.

Anyway, Hillary has peaked way too soon, she's a target for all of our dissatisfactions with the current government...and she's not bright. Anyone who is in politics as a business should know that when Jack Cafferty goes off in a big way on *, it's time to jump ship.

21. House cleaning time, not long before Bills on the Carlyle Group Board
For those who may have missed, it the buzz in real newspapers in England is that Tony bLiar will leave government shortly for a seat on the Carlyle Group Board of Directors...cause the poor fella's finances are stretched and in disarray becuase it's hard, or so hard, being PM. Let's see, could we also say that he over spent and went into debt as a "cash advance" against a known PAY OFF from Carlyle. Silly me!

There's a NY Liberal Party (or was) and maybe opposition (my preference) in the Dem primary, from somebody significant who would peel the bark off her tired tree.

I finally had to put you on Ignore for a while during the primaries out of total exasperation over your oh-so-public vacillations and hysterical hand-wringing over who you supported -- today.

26. Is there a link?
Would like to read it myself.

I am not a big fan - and I agree, we need leadership from individuals not linked to a political machine. No on Hilary. What a disappointment she is.

No one expects him to slam Bush in a time like this, but does he have to make excuses for those fucks?

29. I used to defend her and Bill, but no more.
I'm so sick of the 2 of them playing political games, getting all cozy with the Bushes, just so she can run for president in 2008. I can't take it anymore. I've reached my limit.

38. Well then we welcome the gutting of future potential life saving programs?
Being frustrated with political speak is understandable, but we still have an obligation to do what's best for humanity in the voting booth.

It's the purist attitude that got Bush close enough to steal the election in 2000 - I caution that we don't repeat history (provided elections even the slightest bit honest anymore.)
