What would Clinton change?
I don't mean to or want this to start a flame war, I truly want to know what Clinton would change?

She is a Washington insider, voted for the war and supported it up until she ran for President, and she takes lobbyists money like it is candy. Most importantly, the mere mention of her name turns off nearly half of the nation at the get go, so we'd have 4 or 8 more years of the divisive, throw 'em down, drag out poitics.

So what would electing Hillary Clinton change?

2. Why do you even bother to ask? Its clear you've made up your mind and that's fine.
What do you hope to change by bothering to post what has already been posted hundreds of times just as those who support Clinton post their diatribes?

4. Diatribes (n., plural) - "opinions that I don't agree with"
People thinking differently from you isn't a very good reason for them to quit posting.

3. The government would support rational policies again
No more promises of a free pony if we just say our prayers before bed.

8. You believe in the caricature
that has been created. There is a real person and you will find out she is not the scurge to Progressive goals you think she is. I have generally found that politics is very frustating because of how hard it is for people to change the laws and change the systems, not because the people in it do not want changes. Its just that everyone thinks their ideas for change are better and there is not enough consensus to win on many many issues. Take Obama for instance, he has not had to confront as many hard issues as Clinton and this is probably the primary reason he appears to be a better choice for change.

What will become clearer is that Hillary does not share Bills core values 100% and that she is a terrific advocate for us progressives.
