Hillary is more likely to start a war with Iran than Rand Paul
Ron Paul is right about that. I am a duer and I will vote for the party nominee, but most antiwar people will vote lesser evil. Hillary will definitely lose them, even though they are otherwise liberal, because they may think a war with Iran is worse than losing choice. They will probably vote for Paul or 3rd party. As I have stated in other posts, Hillary and the Liberal Interventionists were major enablers of the neocons and still are. She will probably get Bill Kristol's endorsements and the other neocons will support her as well. Maybe neocons will make up for losing the antiwar majority but I doubt it.
It is going to be a weird election.
So since it's on their brand now, it's somehow okay. No blood for oil! or something like that...

1. Who are you calling liberal interventionists? The DLC types?
They are not liberals. Don't want to be; don't pretend to be.
Should be an interesting fire

3. The war on the middle class is completely bipartisan
Remember Nafta? Remember the dismantlement of Glass Steagall? The Clinton's are full on participants in this process.
The Republicans can get all their attack material right here!

9. Some Democrats, including some we consider liberal, never met a SNAP cut they
couldn't vote for either. Those cuts did not become law without Democratic votes and the signature of the President.
The Senate is a very conservative body, especially since the DLC gave us New Democrats. (Unlike the House, the Senate had no liberal caucus, but it did have a New Democrat caucus.) So saying someone is among the most progressive Senators is not saying much. Is she very pro-choice? Yes. Anti war? No.
Why does Hillary hate the poor?
