Reply #7: Do you think people voted for Bush based on the issues?

[JDPriestly]

I assure you they did not. They vote, in part based on a few slogans, in part based on a kind of "team spirit" feeling but mostly based on whether they like the candidate, whether the candidate makes them feel good. Hillary is not a person who makes other people feel good. She is a person who makes other people feel like she thinks she is smarter than they are. Besides, Edwards, Kucinich, Biden, Dodd and even Richardson are better when it comes to the issues. Hillary is pro-war. She is bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical industry. Clinton did next to nothing about the environment and energy independence when he was president, worsened the imbalance of trade, showed no mercy on the poor, did not protect our pensions, encouraged the Europeans to enact laws that permit Europe to snoop on telephone calls, internet and other electronic communications and the list of his failings goes on and on. We cannot expect anything different from Hillary. P

Personally, I like Edwards' stands on the issues far better than Hillary's. Hillary copied much of her stance on health insurance from Edwards who was the first to stick his neck out and announce his health care plan. Personally, I would prefer a single payer plan. In addition to a losing personality, Clinton is way behind on the issues.
