83. She's also said she wants to put coal mining out of business.

And I personally don't care in the slightest about GMOs. It's how we humans do things -we change our environment. That includes our food. But plenty of others don't care about this, either. Some do, and it's no point in denying that they do, but it's not a big issue for most that I can see.

And fracking? Well, two things: it's actually better for the atmosphere than burning oil. And she has said she's in favor of it with restrictions. http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2016/03/hillary-clinton-debate-fracking

You and I might disagree but I think it's a valid viewpoint that if fracking can be done without damage to the environment, it's not as big an issue.

The same can be said for nuclear power. We might be against that for many reasons but looking at things objectively, on balance it's not as bad on the atmosphere as fossil fuels.

All I'm saying is those are legitimate viewpoints, even if we don't agree with them.

I don't trust David Brock's propaganda outlets. If he or his employees say it, I'm suspect. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #9

I can understand that. Brock is a loud-mouthed idiot and I wish someone would rein him in. randome Apr 2016 #11

Sure, but people like me think her use of the phrase is cynical given her relationship w Wall St aikoaiko Apr 2016 #16

Start with her work on the Walmart Board. It directly contradicts the first IdaBriggs Apr 2016 #28

That certainly wasn't a very populist position to take, I know. randome Apr 2016 #36

Inspired by you...and the people who don't know about her and Walmart. IdaBriggs Apr 2016 #50

Maybe she wasn't in a position to actually change the direction of the Board. randome Apr 2016 #58

And she issued a swift apology for her misstatement. Arkansas Granny Apr 2016 #15

And yet she refused to make equal amends and she has not explained HOW she could Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #21

I'm sorry you feel that way. I suspect that nothing she could say or do would ever be enough Arkansas Granny Apr 2016 #26

Yeah, you make out like it's my fault. That's adorable. Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #74

She is detached from reality. I spent my first 10 big earning years paying for things Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #27

Of course she is, but she's where the party is now Recursion Apr 2016 #35

That's not responsive to what I said. Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #73

Thuggery is a racist dog whistle. You should delete your post berni_mccoy Apr 2016 #77

Why would you use a racist dog whistle? Why would you point out someone only has 164 posts? cui bono Apr 2016 #92
