In reply to the discussion: Is Hillary Clinton a Neocon-Lite? [View all]elzenmahn
(904 posts)...I call it as I see it. Your "evidence" is based upon a single website containing links to other sites/news sources. These sites/sources are selected based upon other's opinions of what is important and what is not. Were you involved in the selection of these sites for this website? Do you know their criteria?
It appears that you're trying to make the case that those of us on the left should enthusiastically get behind Hillary. If that's your thing, fine. Volunteer for her campaign. Go knock on doors. Donate $$, if you wish.
But I would suggest that before you get head-over-heels for Hillary, find out where her financial backing is coming from. By the time 2016 comes around, I'll bet that your going to see the same thing happen that has happened in elections past - the big banks and corporations (Goldman Sachs, B of A, Wells Fargo, etc.) are going to fund both sides, and Hillary is going to get a not-insignificant share of that cash. Which gets to my main point - you can vote for or against a candidate, but how do you vote against Goldman Sachs or B of A?
I've made my last statement on this topic. Don't worry - I'll vote for Hillary in 2016 if she's the nominee. But I'm holding my nose to do it.
