Rushing to War
>Clinton couldn’t have reasonably been expected to vote against the Iraq War in 2003. Not after backing her husband’s presidency which oversaw the codifying of regime change policy, a no-fly zone, bombing campaigns and starving sanctions.
>But it’s worth noting the words carefully chosen by Senator Clinton in 2002 when she explained her approval for going to war as well as her politicization of the war in 2007.
>In February 2007, Clinton said, “Our president rushed us into war in Iraq,” less than five years after she prepared her pro-war vote with this remark: “A vote for it is not a vote to rush to war.”

>This year, Clinton said her Iraq War vote was “a mistake.”
MSNCB today was saying that Trump was reading that.
And then they went on to say Trump doesn't read, that he doesn't know how to read, that he was probably having someone just tell him the highlights of the book, and that the book was nothing but lies and falsehoods that should be made illegal to keep idiots like Trump out of power.
And people wonder why nobody takes the media seriously.
In search for a lesson she might have learned from the Iraq 'mistake', what is Clinton saying about Syria now?

“The Russians would have to be a part of it, or it wouldn’t work,” Clinton said last week about her proposal – another no-fly zone like her husband enforced in Iraq – to the war in Syria.
But what about just a couple weeks ago? In September, Clinton said, “I hope we’re not turning to the Russians” when pressed about the failure of training so-called “moderate” Syrian rebels.
She's a mess
Campaigning is a gas
>The Keystone XL pipeline is another one of those hard choices for Clinton. Much like how her position at the State Department precluded her from commenting on domestic issues, her being out of the State Department precludes her from commenting on this domestic issue.

>"This is President Obama's decision, and I am not going to second guess him, because I was in a position to set this in motion, and I do not think that would be the right thing to do, so I want to wait and see what he and Secretary Kerry decide."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLpaPrR63FU
>Her response set in motion a string of political consequences. They came in the forms of heckling protesters and coverage of Senator Bernie Sanders’ mega-crowds against the proposal.
Halfway through some of her flip flops, here’s a helpful summary of the flip flops I've mentioned so far:

>tell-all book
Do these EVER end up mattering?

It mattered enough to MSNBC today to mention it and talk about how Trump must be for his inability to read it.
Trader or traitor?
>On international trade agreements, Clinton again finds herself under pressure to reimagine how she can stand on her experience while leaping away from it at the same time.
>“NAFTA was a mistake to the extent that it did not deliver on what we hoped it would,” she said in 2007 of the North American Free Trade Agreement signed by Canada, the US and Mexico under her husband’s term.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ0swdRvYgw
>"I think, on balance, NAFTA has been good for New York and America," Hillary Clinton said just three years prior.
>Enter the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Once for it, now she’s against the secretive deal she had more direct input on it than any other candidate.

She'll run but it might do campaign damage

I remember reading some where the Secret Service had a subtle system for signalling when Hillary was in the White House. They'd rotate a bust so it was facing either left or right depending on whether she was there. She really does seem like a horrible person if it was that fucking bad.

You tell 'em Marty. I don't want to live in rainbowland.
Gunning for votes
>Gun control is another issue where Clinton has veered to the political right when it suits her.
>Needing to make her mark before the 2008 Democratic primary in Nevada, Hillary Clinton opposed national gun registration. She said, “I don't want the federal government preempting states and cities like New York that have very specific problems."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjhXA8FOJxM&feature=youtu.be
>Also in 2008 she said, “What might work in NYC is certainly not going to work in Montana. So, for the federal government to be having any kind of blanket rules that they’re going to try to impose, I think doesn’t make sense.”
>What’s changed? Now she’s up against Sanders, who himself has flip flopped on a previous position that gun manufacturers should not be held liable for crimes committed with their products. For the first time in a Democratic primary, Clinton feels safe moving to the left on an issue. She recently proposed stricter, more encompassing executive orders she promises to take as president.
On both sides of the border
>“We’ve got to do several things and I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants,” sounds like something Donald Trump would say, but in this case it’s the Democratic frontrunner telling it like it is to a talk radio host in 2003.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk9GGGAz0fA
>Leading immigration reform advocate Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Illinois) even had a good laugh (“Remember the time when…”) at the expense of Clinton:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnzRmiiJCNk
>Gutierrez must be pleased to hear Clinton’s new policy, exalting herself above even President Obama, who controversially used a pen and phone to advance immigration reform.
>“If Congress continues to refuse to act, as president, I would do everything possible under the law to go even further,” the real Clinton said.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-aWRRVSvbI
>At another point, Clinton expressed support for a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants but qualified her statement by saying Congress needs to pass legislation and that the president “can do as much as possible, which I will do.” Her statement was booed by the crowd.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyKUO1hHZLM
>Clinton seems to change with the seasons, and in most cases it’s in campaign season.
For someone who was very clear about her opposition to gay marriage, she sure did a nice little turnaround when the political climate changed to make it hip to support. :^)
