Hillary, do you love, hate, like or dislike her?

[liberal renegade]

[slick8790]

1. Who's her?

Nancy Pelosi? Martha Stewart? Oprah?

[BootinUp]

2. Is this a Britney Spears poll?

[sandnsea]

3. I don't know her

I don't like her policies. Can we separate the two?

[liberal renegade]

4. Come on peeps, show her some love.....

[jefferson_dem]

13. No "haters" yet...

much to the dismay of those who like to claim DU is filled with "Hillary-haters."

[TwilightZone]

15. Do you really expect people to admit to it?

I doubt you'll find anyone who would admit to "hating" any of our candidates, though their posts do a pretty good job of proving otherwise.

[robinlynne]

17. It's not about hating her. It's about wanting real change,and being fed up with pandering to the rig

[TwilightZone]

18. For you, perhaps.

For some, "hate" is not an inaccurate description. It's also not limited to Hillary.

[robinlynne]

19. I think people are sincerely furious at many dems because they aren't really representing

what their constituents want. that goes for hillary, pelosi, the dlc, and on and on. there are days when I just seethe at dianne feinstein for giving us warrantless spying. I voted for her. So when people see hillary taking money from the right, or supporting the war it creates a huge disconnect between hillary and the people of the dem party. When people are lifelong democrats, work for the party, and leaders in the party move to the right, it is a direct affront to people's rights to participate in society. It is a democrat twisting the people's message. That causes such strong reactions.

[TwilightZone]

22. For many, it has very little to do with the present.

It has to do with the past. Her husband's past, to be more accurate.

[robinlynne]

25. really? are you sure? I oppose HIllary, but absolutely nothing to do with

anyon'es past, certainly not bill's. The stakes are much higher now. We are threatened with the loss of democracy. Do you really think people are putzing around thinking about blowjobs? or do you refer to nafta? I supported Bill wholeheartedly at the time. But I do not support hillary right now.

[TwilightZone]

29. Quite sure.

There are numerous threads indicating that she shouldn't be nominated simply because "we don't need another Clinton" and/or indicating that she has nothing to run on other than Bill's record. I didn't have much of a problem with Bill's tenure, particularly in comparison to Bush's reign.

I think it's a bit disingenuous to claim that she should be considered only in the context of the prior Clinton administration. There are plenty of issues in her own record that deserve scrutiny without bringing Bill's record into it.

[Forkboy]

20. I'd admit it if I felt it.

:shrug:

[Warpy]

5. None of the above

Even with her bad record on the war, she is still slightly to the left of Kucinich on other issues.

I dislike her health plan, which will just give us universally unaffordable, universally bad for profit health insurance.

I dislike her stand on the war.

Other than that, I like her record very much.

She's hardly GOP lite. She's so much better than any GOP running that the accusation is laughable.

[Desertrose]

8. Except for the war thing...she's to the left of Kucinich.....?

Can't say I agree with ya on that.

9. good for you.

now take your angry ass to bed!

[Vickers]

21. Not until after The Simpsons.

:P

[grasswire]

7. I actually fear her.

I believe she's an authoritarian at heart, willing to use some of those tools Bush secured for the unitary executive on the citizenry.

[polichick]

11. None/all of the above...

I love her spirit, her intelligence, her strength, her abilities and dedication when it comes to mothering her daughter.

I like her record as a public servant, and admire her for the work she's done.

I dislike her willingness to play politics with life and death issues like the war in Iraq.

I hate the power of the lobbies she relies on for support ~ and the debt she will owe them.

[femmocrat]

12. She just doesn't seem "likeable" IMO.

And her voice sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Sorry! :(

[Kahuna]

14. None of your options. I don't trust her. Maybe you should put trust

as an option.

[pscot]

16. My "feelings" don't mean squat

I want to know how she plans to resolve the war and deal with peak oil and global warming. She has yet to tell me. I wouldn't even buy a dog based on feelings, much less vote for president.

[Peregrine Took]

23. Its not a "love" or "hate" thing. I despise her political stands. I really don't

care a whit about her as a person. I sure never want to go out and have a beer with her, that much I do know.

[Naturyl]

24. Dislike, but will vote for her if she is nominated.

I dislike her and don't care much about Obama, either. Both are lukewarm and insufficiently progressive. But either would be light years better than a Repuke.

[Clark2008]

26. I'm rather indifferent.

As a female, I'd love to see a woman become president - I just don't think in today's climate that she will.

[Douglas Carpenter]

27. I have no reflexive emotion regarding Sen Clinton one way or the other

I don't think she is that much of a progressive or that much of a reactionary.

I do however think her support for Kye/Lieberman was a very political move and a very dangerous step in the wrong direction.

Hillary is a pure politician to the core; far from the worse, far from the best.

But I will say as a progressive and someone of the left, it would irresponsible and morally reprehensible to allow even our major differences with Sen. Clinton to be a factor in electing a dangerous, extremist like Rudy Giuliani. A Giuliani Presidency could lead to destruction in the Middle East far exceeding anything we could imagine. A Giuliani Presidency could very well mean that with the federal courts and Supreme Court and all the many other administrative appointments -- a dismantling of what remains of civil liberties and whatever little remains of all the progressive gains made over the past one hundred years.

Oppose and fight Sen. Clinton's nomination with all due effort. But to sit back and allow a Giuliani Presidency would likely bring irreparable harm that later regret will never be able to repair. It would be immoral.

28. Never liked her. Tend to not trust people I don't like.
