Six Questions

[cantbeserious]

The six questions HRC needs to answer to win the vote of this Citizen - yes or no:

1) HRC, will you reduce US military spending by 10% each year of your first term?
2) HRC, will you reign in Wall Street power by reinstating Glass-Steagall?
3) HRC, will you break up too big to fail big-banks?
4) HRC, will you actively support repeal of Citizen's United?
5) HRC, will you denounce the TTP, TTIP, and TISA and work to repeal all related legislation?
6) HRC, will you use the bully pulpit to openly support and lobby for single-payer health care?

If the answer to any of the above questions is no, then HRC has not won the vote of this Citizen.

30. Please stop posting this lie

Here is a comprehensive article that will explain it to you if you are not able to read and comprehend what Bernie was writing about.

http://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/05/29/410606045/the-bernie-sanders-rape-fantasy-essay-explained

Here is an easy excerpt that explains it clearly for you.

"Sanders then goes on to explain his ideas about gender roles and eventually gets at a sharper point — that traditional gender roles help create troubling dynamics in men's and women's sex lives.

"Many women seem to be walking a tightrope," he writes, as their "qualities of love, openness, and gentleness were too deeply enmeshed with qualities of dependency, subservience, and masochism."

He adds that men, likewise, are confused:

"What is it they want from a woman? Are they at fault? Are they perpetrating this man-woman situation? Are they oppressors?"
One way to read the essay is that Sanders was doing (in a supremely ham-handed way) what journalists do every day: draw the reader in with an attention-getting lede, then get to the meat of the article in the middle.

I am sure there are plenty of things you could criticize Bernie for - real things. But going after Bernie for this is article is silly especially since your candidate is married to a man that cheats, lies and has been actually accused of rape by women.

Better find another tact.

[nolawarlock]

31. First of all, it's not a lie.

Secondly, people need to know it.

[Silver_Witch]

32. Clearly you did not read the post.

nor did you read the link and quote or you would understand this is a falsehood. I am sorry that your passion for your candidate has blinded you.

HRC, when are you going to release your transcripts from your HIGHLY paid Goldman Sachs speeches, now that ALL other POTUS candidates have released theirs? Unless that was just another lie from the lying liar.

[Broward]

13. The answer is no to all those questions.

[cantbeserious]

23. Surely you "can't be serious" to ask questions like that of that candidate

I seriously doubt that she has ever given a direct answer to a question in her life. And especially not anything as clear as any question that requires a yes-no response.

[cantbeserious]

27. Deadly Serious

eom

[sarge43]

25. If she does any of the above, she'll cut military spending

Cutbacks in health care, freeze on pay raises and allowances, etc. Cuts that will screw the troops, but leave money pits like the F-35 in place.

[cantbeserious]

28. If True - Speaks Volumes About Allegiance - To Corporate America And The Military Industrial Complex

eom

[sarge43]

35. I'm going by her history.

As you say, her allegiances.

[jwirr]

42. Yes, I do not remember cuts ever coming to big price items.

Just those things that effect the troops and their families. That is the sad thing about the idea of cutting the military. You never really touch the MIC.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. "If the answer to any of the above questions is no, then HRC has not won the vote of this Citizen."

We don't care.

[TIME TO PANIC]

33. "We don't care."

That's the problem.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

[sarge43]

37. Good. That makes a decision so much easier. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

39. No problem. See ya. Enjoy the journey.

[puffy socks]

36. Gee

I wonder if you were truly serious about her ever earning your vote?




HRC, will you reduce US military spending by 10% each year of your first term? 10% per year based on what criteria?
That's a ridiculous requirement.
Military budgeting isn't as simple as that. That sounds just like Romney's "cut taxes 20% across the board!" worthless proposal. not to mention it's the Congress that allocates tax payer dollars not the Executive branch.

Per the U.S. Constitution:
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

...All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

...The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To borrow Money on the credit of the United States


HRC, will you denounce the TTP, TTIP, and TISA and work to repeal all related legislation?
While not incredibly beneficial to American workers, not having any trade agreements may screw us more than you think . Companies can still trade over seas and still use cheap labor. With the trade agreements labor at least gets a minimum wage and that helps us as well as foreign workers. Like it or not the economy is global. fight for better labor benefits in trade deals ? absolutely. Eliminate them . No way. Reality is corporate America is in place and the standard of living for the 99% is intertwined with it and it's success. We need to change it from within and the only way to do that is by getting Progressives elected even if they aren't the most progressive. .


HRC, will you reign in Wall Street power by reinstating Glass-Steagall?
No and she has stated this. its not the removal of Glass Steagall that created the problem. It is the type of financial securities they are trading and selling them on the markets saying they had no risk.

HRC, will you break up too big to fail big-banks?
I also don't agree that this will stop the systemic risk. Is it legal? It took years to break up Standard Oil and a SCOTUS order. http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/15/may-15-1911-supreme-court-orders-standard-oil-to-be-broken-up/?_r=0


HRC, will you actively support repeal of Citizen's United?
She already said she would. Hillary Clinton: ‘I would consider’ anti-Citizens United amendment
07/21/14 07:28 PM—Updated 07/25/14 03:20 PM


HRC, will you use the bully pulpit to openly support and lobby for single-payer health care?
She has already stated we need to work from the ACA . That protects the nearly 500,000 employees of the health insurance industry by giving those that will not have jobs working for any government funded program time to find work in other areas as well as build a better system out of the two we already have...the ACA and Medicare. Big changes take time or good lots of people suffer in addition to the ones still suffering from lack of access to health care due to costs.

[cantbeserious]

40. Deadly Serious

[TIME TO PANIC]

38. She also needs to say she will fight for a living wage.

That means $15, not $12. Really it should be $22.

[cantbeserious]

41. Right On

eom

[LWolf]

43. It wouldn't matter if she answered them, or if

her answers were acceptable, since what she says can't really be trusted.

44. If True - Then Telling Observation About Character - Why Would Citizens Accept Such Duplicity

45. You'll have to ask those who do.

That wouldn't be me. I could speculate, of course, but why?

49. Bernie wouldn't cut defense spending 10% each year either.

I'd be shocked if he actually proposed such a thing.

[Nye Bevan]

50. Has Sanders pledged to cut military spending by 40%? (nt)

[cantbeserious]

52. These Questions Apply To HRC - For This Citizen

eom

[Nye Bevan]

54. Well you said This Citizen would not vote for Hillary unless she pledged to cut military spending

by 40%.

So presumably if Sanders doesn't pledge the same thing, This Citizen will not be voting for him either.

[cantbeserious]

55. This Thread Is About HRC And Not About Others - These Questions Are The Standard For This Citizen

eom

[Nye Bevan]

56. So either This Citizen holds Hillary to different standards than other candidates,

or This Citizen will not be voting for anyone in November.
