Why I Support Hillary Clinton (show me where I am wrong)

[ellennelle]

8. well, that is "A" reason

but certainly not an adequate one.

reminds me of all the accusations folks leveled at blacks for voting for obama, just because he was black.

evidently no one so far understood what you were trying to say because you did not say anything about appointing justices in your post. say what you mean, mean what you say.

fact is, she's up to her eyeballs in wall street money, and has been for many years (why do you think she chose NY to run for senator?). moreover, she's always been a hawk and a champion for protecting 'american interests' around the world. remember what her husband's sec of state, madeleine albright, said? why do we have such a big military if we never use it? hello?

my biggest reason for resisting her nomination is that she and bill are diehard DLC folks; read: middle way; read: money. say what you will about obama's links to money, but never forget, he beat the person who had wall street in her hip pocket. and i honestly cannot imagine she'd have given liz warren the time of day, whereas obama gave her tons of power to give power back to consumers and the middle class.

there are numerous other reasons i can't get excited about her, such as the reason i abandoned her six years ago. then she graphically demonstrated just awful management and judgment skills during her campaign, bad personnel, tacky infighting; think dick morris. at that point i got the icky feeling there was this attitude that the nomination belonged to her, that it should be a fait accompli; that entitlement has only grown this time around, and it honestly creeps me out. now she's showing similar poor judgment and management skills with this email thing (not that it's a real scandal, but she should have seen this coming). that whole scandal issue is not trivial, tho; there are so many old scandals the rightwing conspiracy are just dying to trot out again, scandals never resolved in their minds. and we all know faux snewz will beat those suckers to death, no matter what.

we need a clean slate, someone with nothing for those jackals to chew on, so they'll spend all their time trying to drum up crap instead of recycling tried and "true" BS. meanwhile, a clean slate candidate like obama (ahem, warren. or bernie. or o'donnell) is off and running, winning hearts and minds, and the election.

don't get me wrong; i admire much about hillary, and i'll of course vote for her against any and all republicans might offer. but, the fact that i can't get excited about her really concerns me because i know so many other dems who can't get excited, either. and it's that excitement that will make ALL the difference.

with all due respect, i agree with politician here; you really should have put more thought and care into your post, as it's a bit flimsy as an argument.
