Does the fact that Reagan is one of Hillary's favorite presidents make you like her more or less?

[polichick]

1. Not enough choices - it makes me want to vomit. nt

[aquart]

2. Pitiful push poll.

[jefferson_dem]

4. Why? I'm curious.

Please vote.

[TwilightGardener]

3. No difference to me.

[ccpup]

5. if she goes on a riff about how great a President he was

to a group of people who Reagan notoriously f*cked, then we can talk. Until that happens, this is just another pathetic Bamabot with too much time on his/her/it's hands with nothing better to do.

Guess the Doritos ran out and Springer is finished for the day.

[DJ13]

6. Like her less

And to be honest, I didnt like her at all before this came to light.

Unlike Obama, who only commented that he saw the nature of Reagan's ability to create a generational move as something for liberals to recreate, it seems like Hillary actually likes many of Reagan's policy positions.

[JDPriestly]

7. Is this true? Or is this a push poll?

This does not sound right to me at all.

[jefferson_dem]

8. Provided she's being honest on her own website, it's the truth.

...

Her list of favorite presidents - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, both Roosevelts, Truman, George H.W. Bush and Reagan - demonstrates how she thinks. As expected, Bill Clinton was also included on the aforementioned list.

18. A newspaper article said it -- no quote or anything

When I see the context and quote, then I'll comment on it.

[jefferson_dem]

24. You're easy. Is that not her campaign website?

The context is at the link.

[LostinVA]

36. Asking for more info is suddenly something BAD on here???

You know that pretty much everyone on this thread would say the same thing. When I see it, I'll comment on it. If she did indeed say that, I'm very disappointed. But, I find it hard to believe that Reagan and Bush are her fav presidents.

As Obama supporters have been saying:context is everything.

[rox63]

27. It's on her campaign web site

Do you think it would be posted there if it wasn't true?

[Kurovski]

9. It's the bullshit pandering that's got me suppressing a gag.

She's a progressive in much the same way her husband is a monk.

[Faux pas]

10. No difference, I never could stand her, even as the first lady. I

always figured Slick Willie had a reason to wander.

[Ian David]

11. Reagan is the good kind of Republican.

He's dead.

[book_worm]

12. No difference.

[shaniqua6392]

13. The more I see crappy slanderous B.S. like this on DU....

The more I am leaning toward voting for her. Could we please just post with things that might help those of us who are on the fence with regard to who we like the best?? Jeez.

[FiveGoodMen]

14. That list came from her own website.

[jefferson_dem]

19. So you voted "Like her more"?

:shrug:

[shaniqua6392]

37. I did not vote at all, of course.

Who cares about Reagan? I don't think Obama did anything wrong in talking about him. I don't care if Clinton liked him. I just do not think it is relevant and/or helpful. Just my opinion. I am just looking at it from the perspective of someone who is still educating myself on the candidates. I click on something like this and I am no further ahead. It just seems antagonistic, but there is a lot of that coming from those who are convinced that their candidate is the better than the second coming of Jesus Christ.

[City Lights]

21. Slanderous?

It's from hillaryclinton.com :shrug:

[rox63]

28. Slanderous how? It's on her own web site. n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

15. No difference.

I have a good friend that told me a while back that Reagan was her idol. I still like her but not as much. :)

[DrFunkenstein]

16. Where is Goldwater on Her List?

Just wondering.

[Nimrod2005]

17. More or less

[Perry Logan]

20. Seems like, if Obama were so great, they wouldn't bother with this stuff.

[Cameron27]

22. Your OP is incorrect

you should have said: Does the fact that the Salmon Press states that Reagan is one of Hillary's favorite president's bother you?

Get the statement with her actual quotes and then we'll talk.

[jefferson_dem]

23. Oh please. It's on her freaking website. She owns it.

Depends on what the definintion of "favorite" and "president" and "list" and "Reagan", etc. is. :eyes:

[Cameron27]

26. Oh please yourself,

it could have been missed by her staff. If the statement's true, then it shouldn't hard to find her exact quotes.

[rox63]

29. Why don't you ask them yourself?

I'm sure there's somewhere on the web site where you could send a question to the campaign.

[Cameron27]

30. Why would I look for them,

I'm not out to prove a negative, the person who's pushing this as true, needs to back it with actual quotes.

[rox63]

32. I assume that everything posted on her campaign web site has the campaign's official approval

Unless they are running a very unprofessional web shop.

[Cameron27]

35. It happens more often than you'd think.

I don't think it's fair to accuse her of something without providing her actual quotes. I wouldn't do that to anyone.

[liberalhistorian]

41. Oh, for God's sake, it's on her fucking

official website!!! Those things are as tightly managed as a repub holds on to money. Jesus H. Christ, will you Hill-bots get a clue? Is there NOTHING she says or does that doesn't faze you? Kee-rist on a cracker.

[City Lights]

33. Her staff? I thought she was one of those hands-on managers?

Detail oriented. Not a big picture kind of person. You know, in direct contract to Obama.

[City Lights]

25. No difference. Didn't like her before. Don't like her after. eom

[liberalhistorian]

31. Kee-rist, as if I needed any more reasons

to "like her less!" WTF spell does he have on everyone, anyway, even people who should know better?? :eyes:

[shaniqua6392]

38. It borders on "Worship".

Very frustrating for the undecideds out here, like myself.

[msongs]

34. depends on why he is a favorite really. loves his policies, loves his jokes? nt

[Jed Dilligan]

39. I voted no difference because it doesn't surprise me

"Moderate" Democrat means accepting the myths of the Reagan Revolution.

[Flabbergasted]

40. kick

[LWolf]

42. I thought it was Obama who was channeling Reagan.

I don't like either Obama or HRC as a nominee for president, thanks.
