Foreign Policy (2.00 / 1)

What issues is Obama more conservative on?  In my book his foreign policy is what puts him to the left of Clinton.  His willingness to speak with foreign leaders, his unwillingness to support a preemptive strike against a country that posed no threat and his unwillingness to support efforts to characterize the Iranian army as a terrorist organization set him apart (and to the left of Clinton).  Care to suggest she is more liberal on these issues?

Hillary Clinton is NOT the person you are (none / 0)

making her out to be..

These issues are all complicated, and you are insulting all of our intelligence with your attempts to distill them down into one or two lines of anti-Hillary rhetoric..


Universal healthcare IS a core Democratic value
Without a REAL committment to it, we WON'T win in November.

Re: Hillary Clinton is NOT the person you are (2.00 / 1)

Believe me I understand the complexity of the issues at hand.  I am more than willing to debate with you the merits of voting for the Iraq War etc. if you would like to try and argue that such a vote makes Hillary more liberal than Obama (the point of the post).  For the interests of brevity, so that I don't have to write a novel anytime that someone claims Hillary is more liberal than Obama, I choose to simply point out the things that she has done that -- on their face -- seem like more conservative actions.  Saying they are complicated does not excuse them away or somehow make them acceptable to a movement progressive. I'm sure that many of the issues about which you think Obama is more conservative are also "complicated".
