Apr 2015

Your allegations are completely factless. Her record shows that she is a shill for no one. Her record is one that apparently you refuse to research before creating the shit you want to throw at her.

She certainly did learn the political craft--which is what she did to be able to lead the country. She has excelled at every job given her from health care advocacy, to the senate, to Secretary of State.

Suspiciously absent from your outrage is your letter to Obama, or Kerry, Or Howard, or O'Malley, or any other politician who have also taken donations from corporations. Your outrage is certainly selective. It makes me wonder if you are a sexist wolf in sheep's clothing. Of course Ms. Clinton is held to a completely different--unobtainable standard.

I suggest you look at her senate votes, what she did for NY, her stands on women's rights around the world, and her stance on the middle class. And, also, before you beg the inexperienced Ms. Warren to run, you may want determine Warren's donations, and review her obvious foreign policy inexperience and blunders. It certainly does not appear that you have.

You have the right to spew any vile, ignorant bull shi** you want. Just don't say you speak for me. You do not.
