Fill in the blank: If Hillary would ______________, I'd support her.

I will support her enthusiastically in the primary.

But for now, I will vote for the following in this order:

Gore

Edwards

If Hillary wins the nomination I will vote for her for President.

n/t

I might support her. It would be a good first step.

A nice comfortable place for her. She would do the least amount of damage staying where she is.

And assure me she has no association with those in the DLC trying to squeeze out Howard Dean.

Get used to it.

n/t

:spray:

the debates, and everything from now until election day, when she'll be coronated? Is it "stolen election" time again? I don't think she's going to win, but maybe you know something I don't?

Where I live, the mere mention of her name has otherwise genteel people swearing. She evokes pure visceral hatred ...

Geffen is right; she's too polarizing.

Unless you like the idea of dictatorships instead of democracy. We still get to choose who is the nom by voting, it's not like we're in a monarchy.

Oh well ... It's inevitable now, I guess.

I'd then alter the "'d" contraction to "might."

No offense to the big dog. We just can't have the same two families running our land of diversity for so many decades is all.

I might support her.

I'm sure there a human being beyond that shirkwrap with which her handles have coated her.

If I had a sense of what she really feels and thinks, I think I'd be more inclined to understand and therefore support her, even if I didn't agree with everything she says. She leaves me with so many open questions. I'd like to assume she is more liberal than she feels at liberty to appear, but I'm not even sure on what I'd base that assumption. I liked her health care initiative way back when, and I do think she is a brilliant woman who could make a capable president, so I am keeping an open mind about her. I wish I could have 10 minutes with her, or a crystal ball view into her head.

Oops, I forgot, I'm already taken. Sorry, Hill.

Have you noticed how everywhere that she goes she yells?

that she is leaving the DLC, that she is extremely sorry for voting for Iraq War II, that she will do everything in her power to prevent Iran War I, that she will disavow AIPAC, AEI, and all similar organizations, that she will work to uphold of-by-for the people, not the corporations, that she will never push state religion down my throat, that she won't lie, that she will personally work smart to win justice for Palestinians and the innocents of Israel. that she will prove that she is not a war monger.

It wouldn't matter if she were completely aligned with me on every single issue. I'm absolutely convinced that we will get our asses handed to us in '08 if she is our candidate. My bottom line is that I don't want yet another Repuke in the WH.

Oops, she is already doing that...

Bushite electronic voting corporations and their 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code from our election system, and I thought she was sincere, I would support her. She would have the jump on every other Democratic leader in the country, NONE OF WHOM have called for true transparent vote counting--vote counting that every voter can see and understand.

Interestingly, Hillary was one of ONLY TWO Democratic Senators in the Anthrax Congress who voted against the "Help America Vote for Bush Act" (Tom Delay/Bob Ney-engineered electronic voting scam that spread Bushite-controlled, hackable e-voting machines, like a virulent cancer, over the whole country, with $3.9 billion in boondoggle funding). The other was Charles Schumer. I don't think they voted against it because they have any particular devotion to democracy--more likely because of New Yorkers' attachment to their old, reliable and virtually unriggable, mechanical voting machines. Even so, it's an interesting fact. It's about the only thing I like Hillary for.

doesn't she know she can't win unless that's addressed???

And sound a little less robotic--she reminds me a little of Laura!

Stop pandering. And no, 'having a conversation' is not a stance.

Once again I stand by the assertion that if a dog was running for democractic President I'd vote for it over any republican nomination.

The republicans have proven they only know how to really screw things up. Democrats have proven then only slightly screw it up and do it with good intentions.

Let's be blunt...who are our choices?

R: Guliani, McCain, Gingrich. (Yecch!)

D: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards. All
fine candidates. In my opinion, Hillary Clinton has
the best chance of winning. Is she perfect? No.
Is any candidate? Again, no.

But say what you will, I believe her heart is in
the right place. I think she will fight for the
working men and women of America. I think she
will be a breath of fresh air after the last 7 years.
(Has it only been 7? It seems like forever).

So if she runs, she has my vote.

I would support her

:toast:

rebuilding projects or Global warming initiatives, and just run on her own merits...

I can believe how underwelmed I have been with her campaign thus far.

old fraternity rite, sorry I couldn't resist.

n/t

My only real beef with Hillary is that she tends to wait too long to take a stand on issues and then figures which position is most politically safe before supporting or opposing an idea. I'd really just once like to hear her step up front first on any issue and be a leader. Ultimately that is what a president does . . . lead.

:D

That could be fun.

her first day in office. I will freely admit to being a universal health care whore. I'll switch my vote based on that one issue.

...break all ties to the DLC and 'new' Democrats before I will support her.

Otherwise...she's just the same old pill in a brand new bottle.

and make that the primary focus of her campaign.

Unfortunately, she now can't even envision American troops really leaving Iraq during a Clinton presidency.

She won't commit to this, of course, because she is FOR permanent bases.

Even if she had a sea change in her currently repugnant stand on permanent bases, I would still have a really tough time supporting her as I am fundamentally opposed to governance by a few powerful families.

A functioning representative democracy elects new people not the same old same old "power sharing" elites.

Flip side, imo, a dysfunctional representative democracy keeps looking to and electing retreads.

Sequel Governance has been shown to be similar to the movies - very rarely is a sequel as good as the original.

or just take a stand on Iraq.

Of course she won't even say what her view is on the issue because she doesn't what to offend her right-wing base.

Everything she says is so planned and predetermined. If she would say what she thinks she might get more support, but on the other hand, what she really thinks may hurt her.

Well, I still wouldn't support her for president, but that would be cool ...

Bush/Clinton Bush/Clinton?...naw...

And since there's no way she can do the second, I'm not supporting here. There's simply way too many Hillary haters for her to be able to win.

Let's all find ways to show our support for Al Gore! :patriot:

... otherwise, she'd have to actually be running for the right reasons. To serve the people of this country. Poor people. Uneducated people. Disenfranchised people. People stepped on by NAFTA and Welfare-to-Work and "Informed Consent" and "Don't Ask Don't Tell". Not the people at the think tanks and the $10,000 a plate dinners. Not the friends from the Big Dawg Administration. Not her own ego & ambition.


But most of us know that's not going to happen, so basically ... I guess there's nothing she can do to get me to support her.

I'm not sure there's enough substance there to warrant the (D) after her name some days. It's getting harder and harder to distinguish her from her counterparts on the right.

God, and I thought only repukes pandered to the latest polls and triangulations...
