Perhaps not?

A lot of people support a certain presidential candidate with a "D" by her name that voted for dead Iraqi children when she voted for the war on Iraq.

Hey, no harm no foul. They are only Iraqis and dark skinned children. They don't matter. Right?

I mean, it is Hillary Clinton- the most qualified candidate ever for the presidency! Being dead is better than being able to read! Hillary believes so!! If not, then why did she take until 2015 to acknowledge that her support for the war on Iraq was a mistake?

Being a dead Iraqi child is better than not being able to read - Hillary voted and believes do!!
