"Ask not what you can do for Hillary Clinton..."

[derby378]

...ask what in the hell Hillary has done for progressive Democrats such as us?

Please. Convince me as to why I should support Hillary. Don't use scare tactics, because it ain't gonna fucking work. I just want to hear from you, the Hillary supporter, as to why she would be so much better than any other Democratic candidate.

I'm serious. I know I've said that right now she sounds like "another God-damned Republican," but I want to hear it from you. How will she improve our schools? How will she improve health care instead of giving carte blanche to health insurance bean-counters? How will she pull our troops out of Iraq and secure the peace? How will she tackle the credit crunch looming over our economy and fight homelessness and poverty? And so on, and so on...

So, there you are. Have at it. Before the crown descends upon Hillary's head, make me a believer.

1. Will not vote for her

I will vote for John Edwards

[derby378]

3. I'm leaning towards Richardson, myself

But my wife's backing either Edwards or Biden. She likes them both.

2. The only answer HRC supporters seem to have is the Corporate Controlled Media said she is Electable

[Missy M]

5. Sorry to disappoint you but....

it is the polls saying she is electable. More so than the other candidates.

[Vincardog]

7. Is that a reason to support her? What about her positions? Where does she want to lead us?

What polls have you been asked to take? Was Dennis Kucinich ever even included?

4. Well, there are a lot

of threads out there about Hillary, you know, how well she's doing in the polls (all the time) and that she won last nights debate (without having to really answer any questions! Just bring up the ghost of the 90's) so maybe you'll get your answers there.....


BTW, I'm for Edwards, the one that has answers.

9. Yeah with the main answer being "ignore my Senate career".

[waiting for hope]

11. So, Edwards should go back in

time? Like Hillary did last night? Her Senate career is not something I think you would want to compare - I prefer to move forward.

6. Obama is our best candidate. Period.

8. Here's her website.

Feel free to persue her positions and see which ones you find agreement with.

10. She's a woman and she's married to Bill. That's all I can ever come up.

Maybe a Hillary supporter can and to that.
