Will you support and vote for her if she gets the nomination?

That is what is important.

Also, the evaluation at your link is somewhat questionable. As in, the quote shows her not explicitly supporting Arctic drilling, but the evaluation is "Correct" as in she supports it.

In other words, the evaluation is not honest. Also, I doubt that she supports the death penalty or further war in the Middle East at this time, no matter her previous positions. And please do not attempt to play the flip-flop card.

I am not a Hillary or Bernie supporter (or anybody else at this time). The only thing I will say is that as a lifelong Democrat I will support any Democratic nominee for any office. The GOP has everything locked up except the White House. And hell if I am going to let a replay of 1968 infighting to keep the White House out our hands.

That is why I am so passionate about this issue.

So forgive that passion.

My regards.

You want stark differences? longship Aug 2015 #5

It isn't infighting. We have to decide which candidate will represent us in the general election. JDPriestly Aug 2015 #7

How does tearing down one candidate raise another? longship Aug 2015 #9

Please, not the flip flop card. longship Aug 2015 #38

It isn't intraparty friction. It is the process of picking a candidate. JDPriestly Aug 2015 #41

I have no bone to pick with you, JD. longship Aug 2015 #47

It seems difficult, because we Bernie supporters are trying to right the "long ship," the wide ship JDPriestly Aug 2015 #51

Well, many things. longship Aug 2015 #39

I am not harassing. longship Aug 2015 #62

My sentiments exactly. When disagreement or comparing becomes "infighting" libdem4life Aug 2015 #70

It's not "tearing down", it's stating facts... tex-wyo-dem Aug 2015 #15

Making shit up, don't you mean? longship Aug 2015 #22

She was in the State Department when the Keystone was being negotiated. JDPriestly Aug 2015 #8

All of that may be true, JayhawkSD Aug 2015 #11

If she were against the XL Pipeline, she would not hesitate to say so. JDPriestly Aug 2015 #27

She might be taking their money, JayhawkSD Aug 2015 #46

I don't hate Hillary. But I do think she is for the pipeline. We shall see. JDPriestly Aug 2015 #69

refusing to state a position on it is different from not supporting it. nashville_brook Aug 2015 #68
