Hillary voted for the war in Iraq and got it, she also voted for the patriot act and got it, they werent her Ideas to begin with but she was effective in giving her support for those getting passed. look at how those things intimately affect us to this very day. are we better off for it?
No.
She said her vote on the Iraq War was a mistake and she regretted it. John Kerry also voted for the war, too.
She never said that about her vote for the Patriot Act. She also voted to reauthorize it. I wish she regretted it. I take your point.
2/3 of the House voted for it, originally. It's true Kucinich was one who voted against.
Only one Senator voted against it. Russ Feingold. I'm not going to defend Clinton's vote, but she wasn't alone.
BTW, if we're going to be frank, we should also acknowledge who extended the Patriot Act in 2015, too.
A President named Barack Obama.
http://thehill.com/policy/national-secu ... act-powersYou can hate on Hillary. Maybe the Democratic Party as a whole. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but they've kept renewing its provisions. I agree with you they should regret it, and shouldn't have.
It's not the only thing I can think of where I wish the Party voted and acted differently.

Best I can say about Denis Kucinich friendship association with ron paul and his institute is it likely gives him a platform to promote his peace agenda, also he says he likes interacting with people who are polar opposites. how he resolves the letters you'll have to ask him. but I dont see him promoting racism or homophobia do you?
I'm sorry. Whether you like interacting with "polar opposites" or not, if somebody asks me, "Will you serve on my Advisory Board," and I know for a fact they associate with people from Stormfront.

Ron Paul with Don Black of Stormfront
I would have only one answer consistent with my "peace agenda": "FUCK OFF".
Quote:
That his agenda is peace and not war its not surprising that he is marginalized to such an extent perhaps if he gave in to the easy way it would be a more forgivable association that, of bloody endless war and he could be elected president and hang out with the popular crowd.
I am not for war, endless or other. I am for peace.
I am for civil liberties. I am for ending the war on drugs. Ron Paul may give lip service to all of this. Like most Right-Libertarians, I actually believe he is NOT a pacifist, he's just a non-interventionist. The two stances are different. But I'm also not a single or even slight number of issues, voter.
Unfortunately, I'm not with Ron Paul's popular crowd, because I am also for the welfare state, against racism, against not getting rid of 90% of the government agencies, and putting us under Von Mises-Austrian school economics.
And if Don Black came over to take a photo with me, I would kick him in the fucking nuts. Very hard.
Oh and one more thing -- be careful about holding everyone to their past votes without ... forgiveness.
[from the Wiki:}
Prior to 2002, Kucinich's voting record was strongly pro-life, but he currently maintains a pro-choice stance on abortion.
In 1996, he was quoted as saying that "life begins at conception", and he has also voted in favor of banning partial birth abortion and preventing the transport of minors to undergo abortion procedures.
He changed his mind. Politicians can do that, even over votes for war.
BTW, did I mention Dennis' sister
voted for Trump?
She’s a lifelong Democrat who’s voting for Trump. And she’s Dennis Kucinich’s sister.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics ... af07d35440*sigh*
I do not see anything highly principled about being a fool.
