Voting on issues relating to the reproductive rights of women isn't "symbolism." They can literally be life and death issues, which affirms your appalling ignorance of this issue AND your candidate.
It is symbolism if the vote of an individual candidate had no fucking effect on the outcome, and he or she knew it at the time.
Seriously, get off your high horse and join the rest of us on the ground. He isn't out to take away your right to an abortion!
JOHN SIDNEY MCCAIN THE THIRD IS.
Right. Just like your guy's speech on Iraq was symbolism and had no fucking effect on the outcome, and he knew it at the time.
I'll take that over Hillary's effect on the outcome of Iraq any day. Seriously, I wish Hillary just made a speech and left it at that. Instead, she voted to give George Bush the power to go to war, and voted against every amendment which would have restrained that power.
The disingenuousness of your line of attack -- completely ignoring that Barack Obama's "present" strategy was coordinated with the state's planned parenthood is so blatantly transparent its kind of embarrassing.
If Hillary had shown judgment and leadership in 2002, if she had worked with opponents of the war in Iraq to formulate a strategy for preventing it, if she had had the courage to speak out against against it and mean it, maybe she wouldn't have lost this nomination fight.
And yes, she has.
/And your candidate's VOTE on Iraq was not symbolic and had a HUGE fucking effect on the outcome and she knew it at the time..
How did Hillary's vote affect the outcome of the AUMF vote? By your logic, her AUMF vote was the very definition of symbolic.
And for god's sake, STOP IMPUTING the words of Obama supporters to Obama.
I don't think that Senator Clinton believes every retarded thing one of you people post. I'm not dumb enough to have that kind of logical failure.
Yep... words like "retarded," dumb" and "logical failure" pretty much sum up your arguments.
tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,
