Reply #6: No. G-d forbid SHE's the nominee. [View All]

A vote for Hillary is a vote for corporate control. She was part of the Secret Free Trade Deal the Democrats made with the repugs. In just that single deal the Democrat leadership abrogated the entire history of the party and it's base. This cannot stand, not if we expect and fair treatment at the hands of our government.

As much as I can understand the wish to have a strong woman candidate for the party, she must NOT be the one. If that's what you want find one at the grass roots without corporate strings and bring her up to the national level. But heaven forfend, don't put someone who pushed for NAFTA. After all, that certainly helped the working folks of America, didn't it?

Keep pushing for Hillary and I guarantee what you'll get is another triangulating republican lite.

If you doubt what I'm saying read The Nation article about her corporate backers and PR hacks. Especially interesting are their ties to the republican noise machine. Ties, hell. They are a major part of the republican noise machine.

Again let me implore everyone, before you get behind a candidate, do your research. Make sure that candidate is someone who will represent YOUR best interests, not those of their campaign donors.
