PLAISTOW, N.H. – After weeks of political discussion about domestic issues like health care, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was confronted Saturday afternoon with one of the issues that dogged her as a new candidate last winter: Her voting record on issues of war.
While critics of Mrs. Clinton used to denounce her for voting to authorize the Iraq war in 2002, today the challenge came from an otherwise enthusiastic supporter of Mrs. Clinton, Barbara Dennett, a math teacher and field hockey coach.
At a town hall meeting in a middle school gym here, Ms. Dennett first hailed Mrs. Clinton’s health care reform effort in 1993-94, then said “I also completely trust you on the social issues, women and children and family.”
“My concern is your voting record on war,” Ms. Dennett said. “The friends I talk to, to get them on board, they don’t trust you because of your voting issue on war.” She added that she and her friends did not want Mrs. Clinton to be “a war president.”
Saying she was “very glad you asked that,” Mrs. Clinton began her answer by trying to narrow the daylight between her record and those of her Democratic rivals. She noted that the other Democrats who are running for president, and who were in the Senate in 2002 – all voted for the war. Barack Obama, another contender and a vociferous critic of the war from the start, entered the Senate in 2005.

A socialist math teacher. Whod'a thunk it?
...And her point? I really believe this woman is becoming dumbmer than a box of rocks. Because she just can not stand on the principle of her original vote, she has to kow tow to looneys and anti-american filth.
Afterall, trying to get those campaign contibutions from people like doug from upland just ain't working!
And nobody asks her just where it talks about returning inspectors in the"AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE AGAINST IRAQ RESOLUTION OF 2002'
She added that she and her friends did not want Mrs. Clinton to be “a war president.”
What does that even mean?
What does that even mean?
It means if she has a son she makes him wear a dress.
But, but, but Bubba said he was always AGAINST the war...
Here is a Dog and Clinton in the same sentence alert:
I stepped in some dog clinton yesterday and man did it stink!

wow, now there’s an angle: pet votes.
I don’t want her to be a “war president” either. That is, the LAST person I would want as the Commander in Chief while we are at war is the Hildabeast.
Ouch. That could actually leave a mark.
