I will not support Hillary Clinton for president

[G2099]

"I'd like to make it clear to the people who run the Democratic Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president.

Enough. Enough triangulation, calculation and equivocation. Enough clever straddling, enough not offending anyone This is not a Dick Morris election. Sen. Clinton is apparently incapable of taking a clear stand on the war in Iraq, and that alone is enough to disqualify her. Her failure to speak out on Terri Schiavo, not to mention that gross pandering on flag-burning, are just contemptible little dodges.

What kind of courage does it take, for mercy's sake? The majority of the American people (55 percent) think the war in Iraq is a mistake and that we should get out. The majority (65 percent) of the American people want single-payer health care and are willing to pay more taxes to get it. The majority (86 percent) of the American people favor raising the minimum wage. The majority of the American people (60 percent) favor repealing Bush's tax cuts, or at least those that go only to the rich. The majority (66 percent) wants to reduce the deficit not by cutting domestic spending, but by reducing Pentagon spending or raising taxes."

1. me either

but we're going to have to work very hard in the primaries to make sure it doesn't happen

[FreedomAngel82]

16. How do you know she's running though?

She might not even be running.

[William769]

2. Thats you prerogative

But when you make assertions, you really should have your facts straight.

[Charlie Brown]

3. if its McCain or Hillary, I really don't see much difference

As far as foreign policy goes, they're the same.

[bahrbearian]

12. Exactly, Both are Centrist,.

[MannyGoldstein]

18. No

McCain has an actual point of view regarding where he wants to see the country go -- I often don't agree with it, but I know what it is, and it's coherent. Ms. Clinton, on the other hand, only has a point of view regarding where Ms. Clinton should end up in the political hierarchy, and will change her views from moment to moment in order to get what she wants. Like her husband, she's moved to the far right in many areas, particularly with regard to destroying our middle class. Her election would be a catastrophe - just another spineless plaything of the Rich.

4. I'd support Hillary over any republican, any time, any day.

That said, she's about 10th on my list of preferred nominees.

[Lindacooks]

5. The problem with this is too many people vote against their own best

interests because of a few issues: gay marriage, abortion, and the 'war' on terror. Doesn't matter if a majority of people want single payer health care or raising the minimum wage. If they don't vote for politicians who support those issues, it's a moot point.

[NVMojo]

6. I will not either, she's a breath away from becoming a neocon

[President Jesus]

13. yeah, that's not one of the brighter statements I've read lately.

Bravo.

Hillary Clinton, just a smidge different from Richard Perle. :eyes:

7. Read My Signature........

She is not the answer nor has the capability to run this country.......There are better selections like Barbra Boxer(CA)

Hillary is a cut-out from the DLC, she has participated in legislation that has lessened the rights of USA labor.

[Ian David]

8. Self-delete

It's late and I'm feeling punchy.

[feelthebreeze]

10. Gee, thanks for the insightful comment. It has done absolutly nothing to

expand this issue. Also thank you for wasting my time. Another two seconds of my life gone.

[Seabiscuit]

9. Tweety, Hannity and Loofa want her to run. So what's your problem?

:evilgrin:

[benny05]

11. This was up on another thread

big response...look for it

[Nutmegger]

14. Some extra butter here please

:popcorn:

[FreedomAngel82]

15. I'm not either

I do like her personally but not for president.

[pinto]

17. OK. Fair enough. If we're gonna talk '08, let's talk about supporting

a candidate. Who do you have in mind?

[Roxy66]

19. I will...if it's between a Repug and any Dem

[thatsrightimirish]

20. I wouldn't vote for her in a primary

but i don't think she is a breath away from being a neocon. Let's just say if it comes down to a Clinton vs Brownback election I'll vote Clinton. And if Nader runs being smart i'll still vote clinton because i dont want brownback to become president.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

21. I don't even think she's going to run.

[Beelzebud]

22. 2 families running America for 20 years? NO THANKS!

I don't dig royalty.

If we want change, we have to get someone NEW!!!

[donheld]

23. Do you want a cookie?

:shrug: It's too soon for this crap.

[AtomicKitten]

24. premature oaths

It's way too early for this heated speculation.

Don't like Hillary? Then work your ass off for another candidate.

And then pull up your socks and vote Democratic at the ballot box.
