She doesn't support fracking because it may lead to energy independence, no, She doesn't support fracking because it is a cleaner source of energy, I agree its not, but it could be given time, She doesn't support fracking because it will help countries escape the dependence of Russian energy, those are all valid reasons and ones actually given. I may not agree with them but that wont make me ascribe a position she has most definantly has never taken to score political points as your have. She could be wrong on all those points, as I believe she is. But I would never, ever, stoop as low as you have to ascribe a position not expressed by her at any point. You wont understand this, but when someone does the same to sanders you will raise the hue and cry and not feel a bit of hypocrisy. You dont even get the argument we are having, you want to show how fracking is bad, I never argued that at all, then you want me to defend it! too laughable,,,,,you have framed a debate in a very dishonest way, that is my argument and for the most part you have not even addressed that. You have no evidence to support what you said and even admitted that you did not know her motives when you posted what her motives were. You are wrong, period. You are free to say she is wrong also, but, you can not give supposed motives just like I cant towards you, else I could say you are a troll republican stirring up trouble, and we know that isnt true, right?
