Hillary "Golden Sacks" Clinton isn't going to bite the hand that feeds her. BillZBubb Apr 2016 #1
So, tell me imagine2015, when will your gratuitous attacks on Hillary come to an end ? Trust Buster Apr 2016 #2

Angry is one thing. Wanting to see a human being "rot in hell" is quite another. Trust Buster Apr 2016 #9

Exactly. Corporate friendly & Wall Street friendly. Roberts will love them. senz Apr 2016 #20
If nominated and elected do you think Hillary will appoint moderates (conservatives) or liberals? imagine2015 Apr 2016 #18

If you aren't angry, you aren't paying attention.

How about when she and Bill retire?

I'm pissed too...but let's not feed the beast in terms of personalizing it. Just IMO, of course.

I'm letting off a little steam. But my animus for Hillary is real. She has caused so much human suffering, especially as SOS, for example with arms export deals and international fracking. To me, she is comparable to Cheney and Kissinger, although so far, fortunately, she has caused less human suffering than those two war criminals. God forbid that she become president, when human suffering throughout the Middle East is likely to expand.

But you are right, participating in the vitriol accomplishes nothing. I will take your friendly advice as a spur to get busy being part of the solution again.

I take it from your name "Trustbuster" that you're a really dedicated opponent of corporation and Wall Street funding of political campaigns.

LOL

Isn't that right?

So when will the lying attacks against Bernie Sanders and his supporters end on Democratic Underground?

Controlling the Judicial Branch is where the action will be in the next decade. The Republicans will continue to tie up Congress. I plan to stop attacking Sanders after next Tuesday night. His supporters have earned as much.

Citizens United is helping her get "elected" by helping to fund her campaign.

I think she'll appoint justices who are open to reversing Citizens United. As for today, Citizens United is the rule of the road. I think it would be foolish to watch the Republicans drop $2 billion on this election why we limit ourselves to a fraction of that money. You run the risk of a Republican president and Citizens United for a generation. Now is the worst time to get religion over campaign finance IMO.

You seem to be under the impression that Hillary might be some kind of Liberal. Maybe socially, but otherwise no. She will appoint people with views simulator to hers, which will entrench the current status quo.

Scalia was far Right. The Republicans will not accept that vote being replaced with someone from the far Left. Therefore, a moderate is still a win for the Dems and must be accepted by the Right.

Now, if Ginsburg retires, replacing a liberal with a liberal would not upset the balance of the Court. Each situation is unique.
