35. Approval does not mean she reflects what they really want
Edited on Wed Mar-08-06 12:49 PM by Armstead
I approve of Hillary in many ways. (I don't live in New York, but near enough to have a sense of the place.)

She's a really good politician, and her positions are not repugnant.

However, approval is not the same as enthusiasm for what she represents, which is the complete refusal of the Democrats to acknowledge the core issues of wealth, power and values today.

People have come not expect any better, so they approve of ineffetual mediocrity.

I'm not speaking about calling for some far-left socialist utopia. Just honestly acknowledging and dealing with the everyday pressure and worries on average people, and the discomfort many peope -- including conservatives -- have with the results of Corporate Government and rappy, greed-driven values that have been imposed on us since 1975.

The position of her opponent in the primary above should be what Hillary and all otehr national Democrats stand for and espouse just as directly as he does.
