"I agree with the 97 percent of her positions that are identical with Obama’s..."
"—and the few where hers are both more practical and to the left of his (like health care)."

Please read... before returning to your regularly scheduled program of vilifying HRC.

1. The Hillary campaign has been trying to pretend there are few differences for a long time.
Its a lie designed to make progressive women feel comfortable about supporting the more moderate candidate in the race.

2. Positions aren't the deciding factor since they are quite similar. Honesty and integrity are.

At this point, Hillary could come out with the most mind-blowing positions ever and it wouldn't matter to me; she isn't trustworthy. I've never thought she was and this campaign has reinforced my feelings about her through the years. And then there's the matter of the IWR....

4. You got that right. Add thinking and diplomacy vs. futile fighting
Tired of her fighting that leads nowhere. Ready for some thinking to get us somewhere.

5. Except for not admitting voting for war was a mistake, I agree.

10. St. Obama lied with a straight face on how many national television shows just 3-4 weeks ago?

11. Name the lie, go ahead.
Will you not admit Hillary is a liar? How can you deny it?

12. She is a liar--so is Obama
name the lie? He said he had never heard his mentor/pastor of two decades say anything controversial with a straight face while making the rounds on all the cable shows. Then a couple days later he slyly slipped in the fact he was lying in a lengthy speech.

14. They both "stretch the truth." That's why it's difficult for some of us to pick one of them. n/t

3. And what does Ms. Morgan have to say about vocally supporting the war...
...opposing a ban on cluster-bombing of civilians, opposing a ban on landmines, supporting a ban on gay marriage, supporting NAFTA, et al?

And her health care plan being more practical? Nonsense. Forcing every American to buy the insurance industry's products is NEVER going to pass. You couldn't even line up most of the Congressional Dems behind that.

6. What matters is, if you vote for Hillary you won't be bitter.
Or you won't be able to talk about being bitter in the first place. :sarcasm:

8. And they both are puppets of the World Order elite.
Dems fight about the so called differences but they are few.

9. So why does she run to the right if she's the more leftward candidate?
Her campaign has even said that Obama is TOO LIBERAL! :wtf:

13. I'm still undecided so ....I give you a K&R....
It ain't over 'til it's over. She is still one of two Dems running...whether some folks deny that or not.
