Reply #1: Reviving the Clinton era

[PATRICK]

is more the point than anything new here. It shows a steadfast determination to overlook a host of abuses, perils and scoundrels in this buddy system with business. The Clintons both are part of a "bi-partisan" alliance with India and others on the big picture of global economic success. That approach is so outdated in light of the criminal dominance and ruin of so many possibly positive ventures as to be as weird as it is offensive- and dangerous to all including Hillary herself as candidate and moreso as president.

This is part of the real big reason for opposing her candidacy, setting aside the impunity of the corporate media hype that has crippled the Clintons away from a mandate for change and substantive. good globaliszation attempts. Wherever you want to put the crux, in her decision making process, record, electability, or policy intent, the baggage is tightly packed and locked.

Is a vote for her partly a vote for outsourcing? At least a watering down of any possibility for strong action? If not, what does gladhanding India business do to first serve our workers, then Indian slave laborers' interests?

Or are we just so nostalgically desirous of repeating our last successful presidential election so as to wave a magic wand over fraud, abuse, business interests, women's agendas only to have the GOP reborn, lose our majority and continue to nicely do the main GOP agenda until they can steal power back again? How much selective memory and palling with good old business allies makes us feel like it will all be rosier if we repeat the past?
