That's why I don't want her to be our candidate. I want Edwards. Out of all the Dems running, he seems to be the only one that will help the working class people. He has the money to be able to win also.

1. Show me the links.
You've made a crap statement. Can you back it up? Links to position papers? Speeches? Legislation?

No, just hit and run slime? Well, that was valuable. Have a good day.

2. And our healthcare system won't change while she's in charge.
That's why I will never support her. :thumbsup:

8. A little early for that judgement - her 28 pages of changes to save money is out but
her other 2 white papers on health change are not due out until the fall.

By the time the primary season kicks off for real in December we will know where everyone stands on issues.

4. Unless you can back that up with facts
(Which you cannot) then why would you make such a statement?

There is no evidence to suggest she is for the very wealth. I don't think someone who worked for the Children's Defense Fund can be characterized as being for the wealthy.

6. I agree that of the top 3, Edwards would
do much for for the working class IMO. He seems to be the most focused on it, and to me, the economy is the main issue. I am somewhat concerned about the other top 2 & the coporate connections/donations, but I still think either one would do a much better job than any repub candidate by far, of course which goes without saying...

10. She voted against the bankruptcy bill unlike some others that I won't mention.
You should at least have a grasp of what going on before making a ststement like that.

11. I will - my congressman Rob Andrews (D-NJ). HRC is no Republican...
Edited on Fri Jul-13-07 08:35 AM by FormerRushFan
I have my reservations, but I will gladly vote for her if she's nominated.

I know it's not much of a yardstick, but there's no question she'd be a better president than the one who is now.

Oh, and Rob - I'm still waiting for those interest rates to come down like you said they would as a result of the bill...

12. Clinton never voted against the bankruptcy bill
She voted for it in 2001.
Was absent in 2005.

The bill passed in 2001 but was held at desk.
The only reason bill was held in 2001 was because debts incurred during anti-abortion protests could not be discharged.
That provision was dropped in 2005.

13. well I am not sure she is for the very wealthy
but her trying to run "from the middle" sucks. I was hoping she had the guts to take a stand.

Her delayed vote on Iraq funding was a clear indicator to me of how she is trying to position herself.

14. Classic OP for someone who has no evidence... just bile.
No links, no facts, no reference to Hillary's support in NY. Nothing but a headline on DU, trying to link Hillary Clinton with Bush.
