(7,393 posts)1. She specifically says in her speech that her vote is not a vote in support of war.
2. What does that mean? Specifically what has she done FOR Wall Street? Bernie didn't seem to know at the debate. Do you?
Your example is wrong. She supported it when it added protections for women and children and she withdrew support when those provisions were removed.
3. She was first lady when that passed. First Ladies don't get a vote. IMO it is sexist to put Bill's actions on her. She is capable of having her own opinions.
4. Thinking we can lay down and die and just let the GOP run all over us is naïve in the extreme. You might as well cede them the election and save our individual donations. CU groups (dark money groups) are going to spend money whether Dems leaning groups do or not.
5. No they haven't. Just no. Issues change. Basic values do not. Same with Bernie, by the way.
6. No she hasn't. Have you read her book? You should. Because every time you post this you look silly to people who have read it. She has said the same things about what would make her support or not support consistently. She voted no on CAFTA, which tends to show that she has standards for trade agreements BEFORE she will support them. This is not a difficult concept.
7. I guess this is an old copy and paste? Both her and Obama have stated they don't support the Keystone pipeline.
8. State's Rights argument Bernie used suit you better? As an LGBT person I can tell you no one cares which argument was trotted out. If pols were honest they would have both said "hey, I hope you don't mind, but I can't get re-elected if I support "gay" marriage."
9. $12 is the right number. More than that is too much in low COL states, but will be raised by states in high COL states. Not a trust issue - it's an economic issue.
