(2,679 posts)It seems to me that there is a very loud group of extremely hateful people in this country. Now my post may appear not to stay on your topic of Mrs. Clinton but it will come full circle or at least I hope it does.
I read many articles today about President Obama's visit to Selma. Most were taken from one source as they all contained several passages that were word for word the same. That was a bit disheartening as it just shows the horrid state of our so called "free press.' But what was more disheartening was the comments. On every single "news" site that I read about Selma today the comments were the most vile hate filled post about the President of the United States of America, and or anything black. I was disgusted! But really tired of the whole thing.
The people that spew this garbage are sick. I thought the worst of it would have been mostly done during the President's first term. I was wrong as this level of hate just keeps on getting worse. The sad part is that the usually not hate spewing people tend to start acting more like a hater then a human being.
When the next election gets closer these hateful people will have to find a new target for their addiction to spewing hate.
The person the hate people hate the most after Obama is Hillary Clinton.
I like Mrs. Clinton. Part of me would love to see her become the next President. She is smart and unafraid to speak her mind. She would be a qualified person to become President. She does have baggage that the haters will happily bombard us with until we know the ads by heart. From Whitewater to Monica to Benghazi to emails.
In 2008 I was elated when she ran. Made a donation was ready to vote Clinton in the primary. I ended up voting for Obama in the primary. Obama changed my mind. I also considered it a win win for the USA as we would either have the first black president or the first woman president. But we would have a legitimately elected President that wasn't an actor or born with a silver spoon stuck in its brain.
Mrs. Clinton didn't lose me, its just Obama won me over.
I have not made up my mind yet on who I will vote for in 2016. But that's ok, most of the people we think are going to run haven't even said they were running. It is early.
What I can tell you for 100% sure is that I will vote and I will vote for who ever the Democratic party nominates.
She will get beaten up by the haters no matter if she runs or not.
However none of that will change my opinion of Mrs. Clinton. I will still like and admire her.
Thanks H2O Man for your normal awesome posts.
