She has been consistent through out her lifetime. She has always been for herself and, to further this, Clinton has adopted whatever position best advanced her career at the time. When she flip flops, that also was to help further her self interests.

In Hillary's own words (from her book Living History)

"We both had wanted to see a Mark Rothko exhibit at the Yale Art Gallery but, because of a labor dispute, some of the university's buildings, including the museum, were closed. As Bill and I walked by, he decided he could get us in if we offered to pick up the litter that had accumulated in the gallery's courtyard. Watching him talk our way in was the first time I saw his persuasiveness in action. We had the entire museum to ourselves. We wandered through the galleries talking about Rothko and twentieth-century art. I admit to being surprised at his interest in and knowledge of subjects that seemed, at first, unusual for a Viking from Arkansas. We ended up in the museum's courtyard, where I sat in the large lap of Henry Moore's sculpture Drape Seated Woman while we talked until dark."

On Tue Mar 22, 2016, 05:37 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Unfortunately, no.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1280&pid=154495

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Hoping that Hillary Clinton "spontaneously combusts" is over the top hate and does not belong on DU.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Mar 22, 2016, 05:40 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: dear alerter - you are apparently just targeting this person, if you had a problem with Hillary spontaneous combusting, why not just report the person this person was replying to? sorry, you lose today, stop targeting people, that is against the TOS.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This one was easy.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: meh
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Another bad alert.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: OMG, get back to your nap. This was not a serious comment. Spontaneous combustion? Really?

I knew about all of these inconsistencies but to see them piled up like this really says something.

I'm so surprised rank and file Democrats are so asleep about the choices they face that they just vote for her without really examining what is at stake.

I'm old enough to have witnessed it over the years. There's always some good and some bad but man, there was a lot of bad. And that's not counting the silly smears the right engaged in, a lot of it was bs no doubt, but not all of it.

It seems those who support her just do not care.

They want her to be president and they don't care about her lies.

They don't care about her husbands destructive policies that she promoted vigorously.

They don't care about her repeated poor decisions on foreign and domestic policies.

The facts have been posted numerous times.

The videos have been posted numerous times.

THEY DON'T CARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sick of the Bush family.

I am sick of the Clinton family.

I am sick of Third Way politics destroying this country and the world.

It does confuse me. Are they so focused on the possibility of a woman President that they'd vote for anyone, regardless of bad character and incompetence? Are they crazed low info voters and don't know what a disaster she's been in foreign policy, etc.? I would like to know, if anyone has any idea.
