BTW- you a female/gender voter?
better in national security in 2008? lol Even SHE HERSELF is trying to distance herself from her record I get it, you're voting for her based on her genderBTW- you a female/gender voter?
Why ask? Are you getting uncomfortable with your position since Bernie himself agrees with me.
I am a white make and I voted for Hillary in 2008 in the primary because she was better on national security and foreign policy. She is even better today. I voted for Obama and found that he came through on foreign policy as strong and competent as ever. I disagree with Obama on Crimea. Crimea belongs with Russia. Right wing Ukrainuans do not deserve our support.
It's not gender for me at all.
^ thatTehon 14536754What officials were aware of it and when did they become aware? Keep in mind that anyone working in the State Dept. would have been her subordinate. According to the Dept. of Diplomatic Security and the Bureau of Information Resource Management they would not have approved of it had they known.You are the only liar here. I am not arguing that it was OK what she did with the Foreign Affairs Manual. I said it ok with the officials since they knew all along she was doing it and was not asked to shut her system down. She is at fault and admitted she made a mistake but why did the officials in IT let it go for so long when they knew she was doing it.
If you argue it was not their job to prevent her from violating certain regulations then you are arguing that it was ok with them as well.
Not OK- they force her to stop.
That did not happen.
It was not OK for Hillary not to put in a request to set up a private account according to all regulations. But when she proceeded and officials became aware, it was apparently ok with them that she was not following their procedures. They did not deny her the use of her system.

Here is a list of 29 companies that have crossed the line.

she voted for vietraq whereas Sanders AND Obama didnt
She was correct to vote the way she did when Saddam was not allowing the inspectors in. After Saddam allowed the inspectors in Bush decided and no one else to kick the inspectors out and start vietiraq.
Bernie ignored a threat to our nationional security in October 2002. Hillary did not. And she wanted inspectors to remain in 2003 - not invade.
You are among Bush's best buddies by co-blaming Hillary for the decision that Bush made entirely on his own to end Inspections and start a war.
Obama opposed the war didn't vote but he kept troops in Iraq as long as the Bush SOFA allowed and he correctly increased our troop presence in Afghanistan.
Just because you don't agree does not make Hillary evil. That is absolutely irrational to put her on an equal basis of evil as Bush and Cheney. Tough decisions had to be made after the 9/11/01 on the State she represented and on America.
She trusted Bush's word that peaceful resolution of Iraq's WMD potential threat was his primary goal and using the threat of military force to achieve a peaceful outcome was the correct way to go.
I don't blame Hillary for Bush's fatal decision to invade Iraq. You do. Perhaps it makes you feel good about yourself like Trump praising himself for thinking he predicted the deaths of 49 Americans in Orlando and it is all Obama's fault.
What's tragic is the threat of using military force against Iraq to force completion of inspections was working exactly as hoped.
Bush destroyed that hope, not Clinton.
She will make a great President. There is no doubt in my mind and you have offered no valid reasons to believe otherwise.
Bernie lost. Get over it and help save America from Republicans.

Bullshit.Hillary wanted Iraq as much as Dubya.
CrusaderFrank 14522365Hillary wanted Iraq as much as Dubya.
Also, remember her bragging how she killed Qadaffi, she sounded like Cheney
That's Bull crap. Hillary wanted Bush to keep the inspections going weeks before Bush kicked them out. That's a huge difference which right wingers and far lefties won't accept.
Ha ha ha!! So funny how she destabilized Libya, right?
He never said that.So Sanders was only fooling when he said that she was a corrupt, untrustworthy corporate shill out to fuck people over?

In response, Clinton acknowledged, as she has on previous occasions, that she’d made a mistake. But she also offered an explanation for her vote, something she has rarely done in the past. President Bush, she told the audience, had made a “very explicit appeal” that “getting this vote would be a strong piece of leverage in order to finish the inspections.” In other words, a resolution to use force would prod Saddam Hussein into readmitting U.N. inspectors, so they could continue their mission of verifying whether or not he had destroyed his chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons sites. In other words, Clinton was now claiming she voted the way she did in the interests of diplomacy; the problem was that Bush went back on his word—he invaded before giving the inspectors enough time.
Listening to her rationale Wednesday night, I didn’t know whether she was telling the truth. I had written many Slatecolumns about the Iraq debate and the ensuing war, but I couldn’t remember the details of then-Sen. Clinton’s position. Looking up those details now, I have come to a conclusion about the rationale she recited at the New Hampshire town hall: Hillary was telling the truth.
This fact doesn’t vindicate her vote back in 2002—far from it. But it does take some of the sting out of Sanders’ attack. In short, her vote on Iraq, under the circumstances, should not be seen as the indicator of her stance or judgment on armed intervention generally.
The evidence is clear. On Oct. 10, 2002, during the Senate debate on a resolution to authorize the use of force in Iraq, Clinton rose to express her highly qualified support. First, though, she criticized the idea of attacking Saddam then and there, either alone or “with any allies we can muster.” Such a course, she said, “is fraught with danger,” in part because “it would set a precedent that could come back to haunt us,” legitimizing invasions that Russia might launch against Georgia, India against Pakistan, or China against Taiwan.
“So,” she continued, “the question is, how do we do our best to both diffuse the threat Saddam Hussein poses to his people, the region, including Israel, and the United States—and, at the same time, work to maximize our international support and strengthen the United Nations.”
She went on to say that there was “no perfect approach to this thorny dilemma” and that “people of good faith and high intelligence can reach diametrically opposing conclusions.” But, she concluded, “I believe the best course is to go to the United Nations for a strong resolution” that calls “for complete, unlimited inspections with cooperation expected and demanded” from Saddam.
“If we get the resolution the president seeks, and Saddam complies,” Clinton added, “disarmament can proceed and the threat can be eliminated. … If we get the resolution and Saddam does not comply, we can attack him with far more support and legitimacy than we would have otherwise.” This international support is “crucial,” she added, because, “after shots are fired and bombs are dropped, not all consequences are predictable.”
Then came, from today’s vantage, the key passage: “Even though the resolution before the Senate is not as strong as I would like in requiring the diplomatic route first … I take the president at his word that he will try hard to pass a United Nations resolution and seek to avoid war, if possible. Because bipartisan support for this resolution makes success in the United Nations more likely and war less likely—and because a good faith effort by the United States, even if it fails, will bring more allies and legitimacy to our cause—I have concluded, after careful and serious consideration, that a vote for the resolution best serves the security of our nation. If we were to defeat this resolution or pass it with only a few Democrats, I am concerned that those who want to pretend this problem will go away with delay will oppose any United Nations resolution calling for unrestricted inspections.”
Then you haven't paid any attention the past 8 years. Obama has offered compromise after compromise to the Republicans and the teabagger faction has said no every time.Why?If Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary, he will lose all shred of credibility
As Bill Maher says, "If you're on a airline flight and they've run out of steak, get the chicken".
Bernie, unlike you extreme fringe of society wingnuts, knows it's not a zero sum game.
You wingnuts are the ones who have issues with compromise, not us Liberals.
I have an issue with how Liberals define compromise. Your definition is for the rest of the people to sit down, shut up, and do what you're told then find a way to be OK with it. That's not compromise.
He never said that.So Sanders was only fooling when he said that she was a corrupt, untrustworthy corporate shill out to fuck people over?
Why are you supporting a guy who lies multiple times a day?
Stop wasting my time!!!

Why not spending your time reading something from the person to whom you are directing your hate? So you were wrong to declare Hillary trying to distance herself from her vote but can't admit it so we are wasting your time.
Why did waste our time by telling a lie about what Hillary Clinton said about her record.
She runs proudly on her record.
