1. So you're linking to your earlier thread cuz you didn't get enough replies?

[fadedrose]

26. Sometimes I post for just a few people

who might be interested in TV programs, something on the news, etc., and I know that only 3 or 4 people might give a damn, and even one reply is okay. I know what kinds of threads pull in a hundred replies, but that's too many to read and answer. I try to adhere to "Can't we all get along?", which is impossible with long baiting ops...

[WillyT]

33. No... I Was Focusing On A Point... That Needs Pointing Out...

You got a problem with that ???

[zappaman]

34. Oh.

Right.

[WillyT]

35. Yep... I Didn't Want Anyone Here To Get The Wrong Idea That HRC Is Some Sort Of Progressive...

[Thinkingabout]

2. Nothing new here same old same old, doesnt change facts

[Joe Turner]

3. Well you are right

This is nothing new and it doesn't change the fact that Hillary works for Wall Street not Main Street. If you are comfortable with that fact then you have more in common with the republican party than you may realize.

[Thinkingabout]

4. Yes I am comfortable with Hillary and the truth, Hillary doesn't work for Wall Street, this is

the same old same old told by some people and they don't have their facts straight. Are you comfortable with the fact of repeating a talking point the RW likes to use, are you happy repeating RW talking points? Oh, BTW I have been a life long Democrat, still a Democrat and plan to be a Democrat the rest of my life and I realize I do not have things in common with the republican party.

[Joe Turner]

7. The facts could not be any straighter

Hillary is financed by Wall Street and Bill doesn't do too shabby there either. That's why she is for TPP, against any meaningful bank regulation and sides with the bankers on virtually all financial reform measures. I am comfortable with talking about how Hillary is like most republicans on economic issues.

[JaneyVee]

10. Name a President who didn't receive Wall St. donations.

In her address to the Democratic National Convention she stressed her support for the social programs such as Social Security and Medicare that were established during the presidencies of Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson. "We'll never accomplish what we need to do for our children if we burden them with a debt they didn't create. Franklin Roosevelt said that Americans of his generation had a rendezvous with destiny. It's time to protect the next generation by using our budget surplus to pay down the national debt, save Social Security, modernize Medicare with a prescription drug benefit, and provide targeted tax cuts to the families who need them most."

This year she stated: "Attacking financial regulations is risky and wrong. Better for congress to focus on jobs and wages".

She touted the stimulus plan.

In a fund-raising speech in San Francisco, she was highly critical of George W. Bush's tax cuts, saying that "Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." Clinton has sponsored legislation designed to reduce the deficit by reinstating some taxes that had been cut. She has co-sponsored legislation related to debt and deficit reduction

15. Financed, which potential candidate isnt financed by wall street. Looks like getting

Financed by wall street makes candidates qualified.

[PoliticAverse]

27. "Looks like getting Financed by wall street makes candidates qualified.". Qualified indeed. n/t

[Scuba]

11. Pro war, pro Wall Street, pro TPP, pro Keystone XL, pro H-1B visas, member of "The Family".

This is the candidate with whom you're comfortable, yet you claim to have nothing in common with the Republican party.

Cognitive dissonance abounds.

[RiverLover]

12. ^^^Spot on, Scuba

As usual.

[JaneyVee]

22. Not spot on, quite the opposite actually.

And the H1B nonsense is racist crap that is literally ripped from white supremacists VDare.

[RiverLover]

28. So Unions were upset about, and met with Hill, over something that's a phony RW smear? How odd!

... "The India issue is still something people are concerned about. Her financial relationships, her quotes -- they have both gotten attention," said Thea M. Lee, policy director for the AFL-CIO.

Facing a cool reception, Clinton and her advisers have used closed-door meetings with labor leaders in recent months to explain her past ties to Indian companies, donors and policies. Aides have highlighted her efforts to retrain displaced workers and to end offshore tax breaks that reward companies that outsource jobs.

But the Clinton camp has been pressed by labor leaders on her support for expanding temporary U.S. work visas that often go to Indians who get jobs in the United States, and it has been queried about the help she gave a major Indian company to gain a foothold in New York state. That company now outsources most of its work to India.

"They're obviously defensive about it," observed Lee, who has taken part in such meetings.

Clinton declined repeated requests for an interview about her views on outsourcing. Her campaign advisers, however, say she believes there are no inconsistencies in the comments she has made here and in India or in her actions as a senator.

They say she opposes legislative measures -- such as trade barriers -- to slow the loss of American jobs if they would restrain free trade. And they say she has supported the expansion of the temporary-worker visas because U.S. technology companies have repeatedly told her the visas are needed to maintain a ready workforce....

Cognitive dissonance is tough to fight if the blinders aren't taken off.

[Thinkingabout]

29. Could you possibly list Warren's qualifications?

[JaneyVee]

30. Yeah ok. I'm not the one with blinders on.

I'm open minded to all candidates, you're the one who seems to have blinders on. Seems like some here would rather lose to a Republican than win with a candidate who agrees with you 95% of the time.

Btw, unions also want KXL built.

[Thinkingabout]

13. Cognitive dissonance, yes you have written this over and over, you have convinced yourself.

Yes, I am very comfortable with Hillary. Do you have a candidate to whom you are comfortable? Apparently not. RW talking points has not gotten any results here.

[Scuba]

14. These are not right-wing talking point, these are honest assessments. The right wing never ...

... complains about someone being pro-war or pro-Wall Street, or pro-H1B Visas, etc.


As for my candidate of choice, I think Bernie Sanders is the cream of the crop, but don't think he could win a general election, so I'm supporting Elizabeth Warren. While Warren is a bit too hawkish for my taste, she's otherwise on the money and definately can win.

[Thinkingabout]

16. Yea, meeting with lobbyists from oil, tobacco and energy, yep right in the posket of lobbyists.

Yes even Bernie.

[Scuba]

18. Yes, Bernie was at a Democratic Party event where some lobbyists were also present. Not quite ...

... the same as accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars for a speech though.

BTW, aren't you now echoing what you yourself called right-wing talking points?

[Thinkingabout]

19. Bernie is not in demand for getting the big bucks for giving speeches, not qualified for the job.

Instead of "echoing" your RW talking points, give reasons to help sell your candidate. If your candidate is qualified sell their qualifications, the RW is working on their talking points, I don't have to help them.

[JaneyVee]

21. Now we're mad at her getting paid speaking gigs?

Hillary is FOR Wall St. regulation, for cap and trade, for Kyoto protocol, for universal healthcare, for campaign finance reform, for equal pay, for gun control, etc.

[Scuba]

24. Her actions do not support her words.

[JaneyVee]

25. How so? She voted for campaign reform and...

Also said "The unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force in American life in the last generation".

[JaneyVee]

17. Really? SE Cupp spent all show calling her...

Hillary Goldman Sachs Clinton until Barney Frank smacked her down with facts about how she is for Wall St. regulation and other facts that shut down that RW talking point quick.

[zappaman]

32. So SE Cupp has the same stupid belittling name for Clinton that some DUers do?

Odd.

Good for Barney!

[GoneFishin]

5. I think everyone knows she's got their backs. Not surprising that they continue bribing her.

9. What a huge surprise.

Not.

[DeSwiss]

20. Of course, it makes perfect sense.

- She has millions deposited in their banks! So she has the platinum account.

She's covered!

Clearly, we should have voted for him.

31. Worth reading - "NAFTA, TPP & The Clinton Global Initiative's "Free Trade" Activism" (Jan 2015)

Wish I had time to make this an OP today...maybe someone else could?

Extremely cohesive, informative article. Pulls lots of info together to form a complete & accurate picture for those who aren't aware of what's been going on.
