Hillary skepticism explained in 15 questions

[Admiral Loinpresser]

83. My fantasy life is just fine, thank you very much.

But my voting pattern is unconnected to it. If Warren continues to advocate for re-enactment of Glass-Steagall, I'm OK with her fundraising. It's a question of populist policy and the guts to do the hard thing. Examples of doing the hard thing: Clinton's tax bill in 1993 and Gore's negotiation of the Kyoto Treaty in 1997. Another hard thing: opposing the IWR in 2003 when the conventional expert wisdom said to be elected president, one had to support it.

Everybody knew it was a repugnant vote, but Hillary, Kerry, Biden, Edwards and other wannabes voted for it. Hillary has a history of taking the expedient, rather than the principled action. Dean opposed the war, as did Gore, when he was still very viable as the 2004 nominee.

If I can find a candidate intent on actually doing something about climate change (as Gore did); about regulating the pirates on Wall Street (as FDR did); and reigning in the military and intelligence (as RFK would have done), then I will work my ass off for such a candidate, as I did for Gore. If Warren or someone else doesn't fit that bill, I'll probably vote for the Green candidate.

The 21st century is clearly our last chance to save civilization. I for one will not mcvote for mcpolicy anymore.
