78. Supports the drug War.
Tue Feb 4, 2014, 10:47 PM
Feb 2014

Was against Gay marriage until the polls changed. Voted for the Iraq War. Supports Death penalty. Doesn't Support true Single Payer.


Obviously she is better than whoever the Republicans will probably nominate. If I were in a swing state, and it was between her and Santorum Huckabee etc, of course I'd vote for her. However, thats pure "lesser of the two evils." I always vote for someone I support in the primary, even if that person gets less than 1 percent of the vote. I know some people claim people have problems with Hillary Clinton because of her image or something. That's why I started this post to show issues of substance which are troubling. To be fair, many of these same issues can be addressed to many members of the Democratic Party establishment as well.

K&R! Well-written post and concurr 100%. BlueCaliDem Feb 2014 #1

I trust someone from the 99% rather than the 1% Whisp Feb 2014 #2
Senator Warren is supporting Hillary for President. David Zephyr Feb 2014 #5
of course she has to say that at this point in time. Whisp Feb 2014 #6
She didn't have to say anything. She could have used... Walk away Feb 2014 #22
If you are referring to that 'secret letter' of support Whisp Feb 2014 #68
That's a fastenating theory! Walk away Feb 2014 #99
I'm on board with Warren too Aerows Feb 2014 #26
Since you can't vote in the US, it really doesn't matter who you support in 2016. Beacool Feb 2014 #76
I suppose you aren't aware that American Presidents have effect Whisp Feb 2014 #80
You can like or dislike anyone you want, but you still can't vote here. Beacool Feb 2014 #85
Why don't you do a poll and see how many of us furiners here Whisp Feb 2014 #93
That's a really, really good point MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #89
No. MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #10
what would you do of she endorsed Hillary? joshcryer Feb 2014 #13
Depends on the circumstances, of course. nt MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #16
I think the reference is to the "Secret Letter" signed Maedhros Feb 2014 #48
That secret wasn't secret long, was it? Whisp Feb 2014 #69
A ruse? Beacool Feb 2014 #77
It's a possibility. Maedhros Feb 2014 #82
Yes, but there's a little bitty detail, she's not running for office at this point in time. Beacool Feb 2014 #86
She IS the presumed nominee, no? [n/t] Maedhros Feb 2014 #88
By the media, who are flogging that meme daily. Beacool Feb 2014 #90
She will not choose not to run. joshcryer Feb 2014 #105
I'm not flogging anything, none of us know whether she is running or not. Beacool Feb 2014 #118
A secret encouragement. MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #81
That's the inscrutable part. Maedhros Feb 2014 #84
Because it was a private letter of encouragement. Beacool Feb 2014 #87
Oh, I have no doubt she is personally quite charming. Maedhros Feb 2014 #91
Apparently because it was a slip of the tongue. Beacool Feb 2014 #119
Alleged letter. Maedhros Feb 2014 #123
Oh, for goodness sakes!!! Beacool Feb 2014 #124
This letter is being cited as hard evidence that Elizabeth Warren isn't running for President Maedhros Feb 2014 #125
The letter is just one factor. Beacool Feb 2014 #130
The letter was likely a general "I support a run" thing. joshcryer Feb 2014 #104
What I admire most about Senator Warren is that she doesn't bullshit or eqivocate...She isn't Rowdyboy Feb 2014 #18
She's not afraid to state what she believes in plain language Aerows Feb 2014 #28
Well said, Rowdyboy. David Zephyr Feb 2014 #29
