welfare reform or gee how republican can we act and still get dem votes

unpardonable sin and that is a BIG part of it

saw hrc a couple of times and quite honestly she just sets off red flags
i just don't get it.

years ago robert reich i think it was portrayed them more as rockerfeller republicans than dem
she is just to damn centrist....

leaves me cold

like i said...i voted for her
i worked for her
and i supported her

but i do not like her
