I have a feeling all the answers are D, but that all the quotes are taken out of context...

Perhaps some are out of Context, but the sentiment remains the same. Hillary is a socialist, and wants to lead our country in that direction.

As with all political smear tactics, these Hillary quotes are taken out of context. http://www.snopes.com/polit... By the way it's Mao Zedong not Mao Tse Dung....

Well starbucks1, you'd be surprised how short 8 years of George W. Bush will make one's memory.

Yes, snopes is good for verifing facts, note this one, if only Half of these are correct, is this the woman you want in the white house?

So, joty, and gube, do you choose not to believe these things about Hillary, or do Character and integrity and truth not matter to you?we should really go back to the Clintons? when just about everything they say is a lie?
posted by oohchild on Nov 26, 2007 at 03:24 PM

I'm sure those things matter to them, Starbucks1. But when someone comes along with obviously over-the-top assertions, like Hillary Clinton is a socialist, folks then tend to tune them out.

Speak with reason about Hillary's shortcomings as a presidential candidate & maybe you'd get more people to listen to your points. Flinging about derogatory comments doesn't get you much, unless you're a blowhard radio pundit.

Stardust... Instead of telling every one why we need to be scared of Hillary try telling us why your guy is so great and why you are voting for him?
posted by gube on Nov 26, 2007 at 03:35 PM
People like stardust are so afraid that Hillary will become president that they feel the only way they can prevent it is by telling us that we need to be scared of her. These are the same people that complain about mud slinging. They are the real pros.

Except for the picture you posted of Hillary, what else is wrong with her.  Comparable to the rest of the candidates?  This Country definitely needs something different.  Not sure Hillary is it.  But is Bush?  I don't think so.  He kind of reminds me of the Village Idiot.

I'll list some of the things I don't like about Hillary (far be it from me to interject my opinion ;)):  I'm wary of her position on government "meddling" in business and family- she can come off as a little "socialist"- for lack of a better word.  She supports the embargo on Cuba.  She supports partial-birth abortion.  She wants to ban/severely limit guns and wants to leave gun manufacturers vulnerable to lawsuits over gun violence.  She seems wishy-washy on national security.

That's all I can think of for now.  I wouldn't be devastated if she were elected, but I don't trust her to move us in a good direction.

Madkow, I guess I am not up on things that I probably am afraid to look at. I have heard of it but , I guess was afraid to ask about it; What is "Partial Birth Abortion"? Is that when they vacuum off the arms and legs and then deliver?
