(12,471 posts)I guess you were there to know that.
If she did not like the RepubliCON Party before she registered to vote, than why did she work for Goldwater? Why was she a member of the Young Republicans Club while attending Wellsley? She has even stated, in her own words, that she has "a mind conservative." In a college thesis, she criticized the tactics of Saul Alinsky.
She did support both Iraq wars. THAT is not a Liberal position.
I do not have anything against the things that you mention, but she is also in favor of trade deals which would ship more jobs overseas. I suppose you are against keeping jobs in the US.
She may be liberal enough for you, but she is far from liberal enough for me.
Still, if she ran against some teabagging right wing RepubliCON, I would be obliged to hold my nose and vote for her.
I would not work for her, as I did not work for Obama, but I voted for him. The alternative was simply not worth it.
I did vote for Kucinich in the primary of 2008, and shall vote for Sanders if his name comes up in a primary in 2016.
I see this country's politicians moving further and further to the right, and find this the absolute wrong way to go.
We have fallen behind other countries in so many ways by doing this.
We have to tax the rich, and provide for the less fortunate, while rebuilding our infrastructure, and protecting our environment at all costs.
I do not see Hillary's positions holding true to these points, so though she may come close, she does not win the cupie doll, of my vote in a primary. Again, if she is the candidate, I shall vote for her, but I shall not work nor shall I donate to her campaign.
