"My Political Beliefs are Rooted in the Conservatism That I Was Raised With" Hillary Clinton [audio]

[tomm2thumbs]

I think it speaks volumes about where people are rooted -- and Hillary's roots are clear (spoken while First Lady).
"I am very proud that I was a Goldwater girl."

and yet, from just weeks ago on CNN, she wonders why there is a trust issue:

"I understand that voters have questions. I'm going to do my very best to answer those questions. I think there's an underlying question that maybe is really in the back of people's minds. And that is, you know, is she in it for us or is she in it for herself? I think that's, you know, a question that people are trying to sort through. And I'm going to demonstrate that I have always been the same person"

The same person, indeed.

1. and the roots run deep

deep enough for her campaign against Obama, to try to "MAKE HIM UN-AMERICAN"

[tomm2thumbs]

6. and then AFTER Obama was assured of nomination...

... damage him in order to run in 4 years time?

10. why hasn't billary learned anything

key to her loss from the 08' campaign?

[lexington filly]

12. Yet both Clintons campaigned all over the country for candidate Obama.

2. Hillary has raised the question: Who is the real Democrat?

Good question. Hillary is proud to have been a Goldwater girl, Goldwater the Father of Conservatism. As Secretary of State, Hillary appears to have functioned more like a neocon than most people realize. Conservative. Neocon. Indeed, who IS the real Democrat?

3. The Same ole Goldwater Girl, I'm proud to say is still the Goldwater Girl with Lipstick

[sarge43]

4. The conservatism she was raised with was totally hostile to feminism.

So, has she evolved or is she still attached to her roots?

[JDPriestly]

5. I am proud to have been a Kennedy Kid and an LBJ Lady.

And I am even prouder to be a Bernie Bro.

15. Proud to be a JFK tyke and mother took our older brother to see LBJ speak.:)

Decades later when attending a WH conference for the disabled I met keynoter Ted Kennedy Jr. and his dad Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. In DC once I pointed out Lynda Bird Johnson Robb to my young nieces. The respect runs strong and is generational. (No Republicans!)

7. Wasn't it her campaign back in 2008 that raised the question about Obama's birthplace?...

Or am I wrong?

[d_legendary1]

8. Hillary wasn't the original birther

but she did tout her white support and started the Obama is a Muslim meme, just to remind people that the president is not like the rest of us.

9. bills roots?

[stuffmatters]

11. While Hill was a Goldwater Girl, Sanders was already a FDR/MLK/J&RFK activist.

[lexington filly]

13. Hillary must have been just a junior or senior in High School during Goldwater.

To be fair, our parents are a huge influence on our political beliefs when we're kids and though my family thought Goldwater was a bogeyman, there were plenty of people for him. Obviously, Hillary's family. I can understand her being proud of being politically involved at such a young age but not with time, for Goldwater. It's difficult to believe that with maturity, she was pleased and proud of supporting Goldwater. I'd have to hear the whole interview to know what she was really talking about and not just a targeted soundbite.

I kind of envy her that she had a family that encouraged her to do and be more than a stereotypical female in the early 60's even abhor her choice of candidate.
