I would really like to feel better, but in some cases rhetoric is worse than nothing. rhett o rick Sep 2014 #28

As far as I know, you are right. Laelth Sep 2014 #31

Well, she can't support such a movement AND support the secret Free Trade Agreement sabrina 1 Sep 2014 #84

And to say that in another way, "Those that support the TPP do not care about the environment." rhett o rick Sep 2014 #88

Exactly. When you watch what they do rather than what they say, it is amazing sabrina 1 Sep 2014 #90

Yeah but NAFTA happened under him. mucifer Sep 2014 #6

Is her name Bill? Last I checked, women could even vote without their husband's permission.nt pnwmom Sep 2014 #9

In fact she has opposed CAFTA, which Bill does not, so you are correct still_one Sep 2014 #10

Bush Sr. arranged NAFTA pandr32 Sep 2014 #49

Between the two of them they have amassed quite a bit of wealth in a few years. rhett o rick Sep 2014 #19

She made most of her money selling her books, and since then pnwmom Sep 2014 #21

Yes "selling books". That's where you can get $14 million in advance to keep whether any books rhett o rick Sep 2014 #25

Why isn't the advance justified? Since Bill Clinton's made $15 million, it's reasonable to expect pnwmom Sep 2014 #26

It looks like a great way for PAC's to transfer money to candidate's personal accounts. rhett o rick Sep 2014 #66

Right. She's just like the Repubs, you keep saying that. All I see is speculation. n/t pnwmom Sep 2014 #68

Why the Repub sarcasm? Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2014 #4

Many people here have repeatedly said that Hillary is nothing but a Republican in disguise. pnwmom Sep 2014 #11

They are blinded by animosity, and refuse to even look at her record. While not everyone will agree still_one Sep 2014 #12

Thanks for the link, still_one. n/t pnwmom Sep 2014 #13

Please quit spamming me with that link. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2014 #15

OK. I definitely am not angry about it, and respect diverse opinions. Seriously, have a nice day still_one Sep 2014 #30

Sure, which is why my first response Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2014 #61

Bow out of the thread, then. It's an accurate resource to describe HRC's -- or any politicians'-- MADem Sep 2014 #52

She's a centrist Dem. Better than practically any Republican, to be sure. And I'll vote for her nomorenomore08 Sep 2014 #74

Well, I'd suggest they're being hyperbolic. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2014 #14

Not by much. Being more like Republicans was the whole merrily Sep 2014 #39

The whole country shifted to the right after the fall of the Soviet Union. pnwmom Sep 2014 #55

I actually don't believe that. I think a lot of people were simply confused as to Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2014 #59

I don't think she's a republican in disguise. I think she's a full fledged corporatist cali Sep 2014 #46

Well, see, she really doesn't mean it. She's just saying that MineralMan Sep 2014 #7

there is plenty of evidence to contradict her words. cali Sep 2014 #47

Looks like rhetoric to me. At least candidate Obama PROMISED to turn back the Patriot Act. nm rhett o rick Sep 2014 #22

So she said "someday, someone should do something about this". jeff47 Sep 2014 #24

Do you disagree? AgingAmerican Sep 2014 #43

She's passing the buck on to someone else to do it. jeff47 Sep 2014 #65

She is in reality AgingAmerican Sep 2014 #77

And she's saying it's someone else's job to start that movement. (nt) jeff47 Sep 2014 #80

Nowhere does she say AgingAmerican Sep 2014 #81

She says it's up to young people to do it. jeff47 Sep 2014 #87

You have a "No more third way bullshit" sig line.... bunnies Sep 2014 #71

so that's what cognitive dissonance looks like AtomicKitten Sep 2014 #73

So thats what AgingAmerican Sep 2014 #79

My takeaway from this is that it's AtomicKitten Sep 2014 #83

So she is wrong? AgingAmerican Sep 2014 #85

yes her simplistic statement is incorrect AtomicKitten Sep 2014 #89

Im not defending Hillary, but AgingAmerican Sep 2014 #78

and I should believe her why? cali Sep 2014 #27

Rebranding. Different wrapper. Same contents. Don't buy it. merrily Sep 2014 #32

sadly must agree. Nt navarth Sep 2014 #35

Hopes there will be? Maybe she should be in NY on the 21st. raouldukelives Sep 2014 #34

"hopes" implies that there isn't one now, and that she won't be leading it KurtNYC Sep 2014 #36

Did she happen to mention what she would do, or what should be done, to address the issue? nt NorthCarolina Sep 2014 #37
