Hillary Clinton: Voters Will Resolve Washington Gridlock

[DonViejo]

CATHERINE THOMPSON – NOVEMBER 22, 2013, 7:18 AM EST

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday urged voters to reject candidates who tout opposition to compromise at the ballot box.

"Whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, it's important not to vote for people who proudly say they will never compromise," Clinton said while speaking on sustainability at the Greenbuild International Conference in Philadelphia, as quoted by NBC News.

"It seems our partisan debates have been taken over by a very small minority that doesn't believe in compromise," she added, but said she was confident that a "course correction" would resolve partisan gridlock, according to NBC News.

When asked how the gridlocked government could bounce back from its troubles, Clinton, who has faced down unfriendly hecklers on her recent round of the speech circuit, was interrupted by an audience member yelling "Hillary Clinton 2016!" "There are some hecklers that I would never say anything bad about," she responded, as quoted by NBC News.

1. Yes, lets just hope the voters come to their senses and do it right, but not RIGHT!

[FiveGoodMen]

2. If a bunch of GOPers want to write Old Testament rules into our nation's laws...

...I should support Dems who want to compromise with them?

Not Dems who would vow never to let that happen?

Hillary, we are NOT on the same page!

3. .......

[Whisp]

4. Wow. Hillary says absolutely nothing, once again.

and she takes a bunch of words to not say anything.

'our partisan debates', now that smells like bad fish to me. It's not Ours, it's the fucking republicans. Which side is she looking on from? She's doing the sleight of hand of 'both sides do it'.

feh.

5. Evan Bayh in a pants suit..what's not to like.

Just another generic Turd Way politician but with a lot of brand recognition and female genitalia.

[Arkana]

6. Yes, because we're SO good at doing what would actually be best for us.

Wasn't it Winston Churchill who said the greatest anti-democracy argument was five minutes with the average voter?

7. Dunno.

I never heard that quote before. But it's a good one.

8. Unfortunately

she is wrong. The hyper-partisanship is continuing to widen and gridlock I believe will reign for the next decade at least. The two sides are ultimately too entrenched and compromise is not a word in the vocabulary around Washington.
