and a million people and later apologized for her bad judgement, would you accept it? And if you did, would you let her have another ship?

That's not the question. Buzz Clik Feb 2015 #1
Some how not surprised.... daleanime Feb 2015 #3
That doesn't make sense either. You have NO idea... Buzz Clik Feb 2015 #5
Yes, I have no idea where you stand on Hillary.... daleanime Feb 2015 #20
You're right on target: the answer for most of us common folk is "no"; "yes" if you're a major corporation... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #89

Well that's your problem isn't it? Katashi_itto Feb 2015 #15
Ok. So all you're doing is trolling for reactions. Buzz Clik Feb 2015 #18
Not particularly, you made the lame comment. Katashi_itto Feb 2015 #22

You mean "It doesn't even make sense" to me. In other words, you don't get it. rhett o rick Feb 2015 #98
Meaning: you've joined the groupthink and antiHillary is perfectly logical... Buzz Clik Feb 2015 #106

I'm with you. Hillary is a .1 percenter, who's not interested in the issues I care about - only in lining her own greedy pockets. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #91
YES. bvar22 Feb 2015 #23
Thanks for that. Easy to see why Obama beat her in 2008. rgbecker Feb 2015 #45
That question answers itself. We need someone who will stand with those of us on mainstreet, not Wallstreet. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #92
That little exchange tells me all I need to know about Hillary Clinton and her candidacy. Enthusiast Feb 2015 #63
Thanks for that reminder who Hillary is fighting for, ie, the upper class making six figures... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #93

I agree that this is what her support of the military actually means. CaliforniaPeggy Feb 2015 #16

No. But, she'll say she will. Unless she decides she was "misled" by Bush. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2015 #7
I believe that very few politicians actually support us. bigwillq Feb 2015 #9

After reading this, how anyone with half a heart can support Hillary is beyond me. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #97
The real question: will you support the Democratic nominee in the general election against the Rethug? pnwmom Feb 2015 #24
And what if they are indistinguishable? CaliforniaPeggy Feb 2015 #25
They won't be, anymore than Al Gore was indistinguishable from George Bush. pnwmom Feb 2015 #28
