In your compiled list of Democratic qualities, until she changes her mind after she wins the Primary that is.... I think especially on the war part. I have a sense she is chomping at the bit to be a "Tough Commander In Chief". Neocons whispering for her to take her Margaret Thatcher like stand against terror.....

I for one will only vote for someone that sticks to their principles and values, that said during the General Election, the minute she changes positions or slides even one inch too the right will be the minute I give up on the Democratic party.... Because I know that we have a once in a lifetime chances to bring, real change, and I will never forgive or forget the generation that gives that all up because of, why again? Please remind me why we are giving a candidate another chance to stab us in the back?
