Regarding Hillary Clinton

106. Social policy is my main thing - and it's the key point where Hillary repels me

I don't even get to the point of looking at Hillary's foreign policy stances, but I suppose I fold economic policy into social policy. It doesn't matter to me that Hillary is a woman who speaks at high profile "women's events", that she once-upon-a-time attempted to implement a health care plan (before she became a "cookie baking mom&quot , and running a foundation just makes her the disperser of high-paying jobs for loyal cronies.

Hillary's husband devastated and curtailed people's lives by "ending welfare as we know it". He might have helped "the economy" for a certain segment of the population, but he did that at the expense of extinguishing all hope in life FOR THE TOTAL DURATION OF THEIR LIVES for others - possibly more. The problem was those he hurt had a lesser voice in politics, so what happened to them just didn't matter. They were the "clay" who could be molded for the sake of the benefit of the elusive "middle class" (that was somehow always triangulating right).

You could say that this outcome was Bill's beliefs and policies in action, not Hillary's - but Hillary's association with New Democrat/Third Way economic policies show that her beliefs are the same. Hillary's practice of enriching family and loyal cronies also reveals her particular scale of values. Like many rich people, she probably has an egotistical fantasy of herself as the Vision Leader who becomes a World-changing Hero just by stepping up to a podium and uttering Magnificent Leadership Words. In her case, the ego potential must be even more intense because she did have a shot at becoming the FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT!

As a woman, I think we're long past due for the first female President, and we need one as a role model for women in this country. Hillary could have had my vote. But I just can't get past the fact that her "social policy" seems staged to me. Her economic policy (Third Way) seems closer to the authentic Hillary because that's the way she's living her day-to-day life - in a savvy, corrupt way not a socially kind way.
