59. Gee I didn't realize the IWR was an economic issue.

But like I said, she has admitted that that was a mistake, and in any case, the GOP is far more hawkish than she is.

Wall Street loves her, Goldman-Sachs CEO can't see a difference between HRC and Bush. Loves em both. Bush v H. Clinton is win-win for Goldman-Sachs and the billionaires.

Childish stupidity. "Wall street" is more than one person, did you know that? Some people on Wall Street like her, others don't, just like the rest of America. Some people on Wall Street even like Bernie Sanders.

What matters (of course) is what Hillary actually stands for, not that you can find someone who works in the finance industry who likes her.

No wonder Hillary bashers don't want to talk about policy. In my last post I went down the list of major economic issues. There's miles of distance between her and and the GOP on every one. Taxes, minimum wage, SS, climate change, etc. All you've got is irrational hatred.

Bernie has set off my BS meter for years. eom MohRokTah Jun 2015 #11

Oh. LOL. Bonobo Jun 2015 #14

It definitely needs to be recalibrated Art_from_Ark Jun 2015 #17

Wow, you unmasked Thom Hartmann as an evil shill! Bonobo Jun 2015 #21

No, as a merchant of woo. eom MohRokTah Jun 2015 #24

What is woo, please? nt navarth Jun 2015 #26

Merchant of Woo was a play by Shakespeare, as I recall Art_from_Ark Jun 2015 #38

So Thom Hartmann and Bernie are borrowing money for their girlfriends according to navarth Jun 2015 #40

Woo comes from the term woo-woo. Dr Hobbitstein Jun 2015 #54

That's it in a nutshell! hifiguy Jun 2015 #8

Good point. E.g. "Hillary is no better than a Republican" sends the BS meter off the chart. DanTex Jun 2015 #15

HRC is better than a Republicon for a few social issues, but she pretty much agrees with rhett o rick Jun 2015 #48

That's absurd. How does she "pretty much agree with them" on economic issues. DanTex Jun 2015 #50

Anyone who spends as much time as she does hanging around with hifiguy Jun 2015 #52

Aha. So it has nothing to do with policy whatsoever. Glad we have that established. DanTex Jun 2015 #53

Hillary will do a couple of really good things if elected, much like Obama, but Dustlawyer Jun 2015 #56

I agree with every word!!! hifiguy Jun 2015 #57

I disagree. "But like I said, she has admitted that that was a mistake" rhett o rick Jun 2015 #60

"I've made it very clear that I made a mistake, plain and simple" DanTex Jun 2015 #61

I don't like H. Clinton because she betray us in favor of George Bush and the Republicons. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #62

OK. For some people the IWR vote is definitely going to be a deal-breaker. DanTex Jun 2015 #63

How does she stand on regulating the banks? Maybe bringing back Glass-Steagall. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #64

She supports the reforms in Dodd-Frank, although she wasn't in congress to vote for them. DanTex Jun 2015 #65

The problem with the TPP is that the politicians only discuss the trade part, which rhett o rick Jun 2015 #67

You said it. Every day it becomes more and more obvious that people were just waiting for someone to sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #33

Thanks, Sabrina, I know you really, really get it. Bonobo Jun 2015 #35

Yes, exactly. And many of those people have decided to take care of their own shit and ignore sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #36

And the numbers are so vastly in favor of such people. Bonobo Jun 2015 #37
