I hope Senator Rockefeller (none / 0) (#9)
by bjorn on Sat May 10, 2008 at 10:08:35 PM EST
views women as his equal too.  Is he voting for Obama because he his Black?

No, he's voting for him because he (5.00 / 1) (#11)

believes he was correct about the war when it began.  Actually, when he was Governor, he was very supportive of women's issues, especially pro-choice, in a very pro-life state.  He may be "elitist" due to his wealth, but it has allowed him to take stands without worrying about the political climate.

I am glad to hear (5.00 / 1) (#13)

he supports women's issues.

Then why did he vote for the AUMF? (5.00 / 1) (#21)

seems like more of a weak excuse than anything else.

And what about that report on the Iraq intelligence, the one Pat Roberts would never do?  well Rockefeller won't do it either.  he's the typical go along to get along democrat, and it's pathetic.

He admitted that he was wrong. It's nice that (none / 0) (#25)

somebody can.

Yes (5.00 / 1) (#33)

It's nice to see people admit they were wrong after the polling changes on the issue.

It's nice that someone admits a mistake (none / 0) (#37)

when the facts demonstrate that mistake.

Oh Please, didn't you watch the debates (1.00 / 0) (#55)

Hillary has most definitely said she regrets her vote. Problem is, people are not paying close attention to exactly what that vote was asking for, and many democrats voted "yes" with conditions.

If you are going to base your entire argument against a candidate, it is a good idea to know that topic inside and out.

I see (none / 0) (#38)

You seem to think polling determines the facts.

WTF? Where in the world (none / 0) (#48)
by oh please on Sat May 10, 2008 at 10:39:16 PM EST
did you come up with that being my logic?!  I am suggesting that at least one senator can't admit a mistake when the facts demonstrate that it was, indeed, a mistake to support going to war.

Rockefeller voted for the war (5.00 / 1) (#26)
by shoephone on Sat May 10, 2008 at 10:25:47 PM EST
He and Obama and Clinton have all voted to continue fincancing it.

If he wants to be believable, he should probably choose another reason for supporting Obama.

Voting to fund the troops when the votes (none / 0) (#42)
by oh please on Sat May 10, 2008 at 10:33:14 PM EST
to bring them home aren't there is not the same as supporting the war in the first place.  And Sen. Rockefeller, like Sen. Edwards, and others have admitted their mistake.

I don't know... (5.00 / 1) (#27)

I don't know his record on Women's issues, but his dogged support of Telecom Immunity is, well, garbage.  I know he backed off a little bit since Shrub wouldn't take yes for an answer, but he is in my dog house for that issue alone.  I don't care if he is anti-war, I do care if he's anti-Constitution.  I sure hope he isn't advising Sen. Obama on that issue.

The Iraq War will be a big issue, but it will not be the decisive one unless the Economy does a rapid 180 and soon.  Since the Economy moves very slowly in its trends, I feel the Economy will be the preeminent issue.

Obama thinks Rockefeller's judgment is (5.00 / 1) (#30)
by Edgar08 on Sat May 10, 2008 at 10:26:59 PM EST
Impaired.

I think Rockefeller's endorsement of Obama is further proof of that.

Oh You Mean Like Pushing For Telecom (none / 0) (#85)
