My take
For what it's worth, here is my take on this whole Hillary situation.. I turned 21, which was the required voting age (in my day) on my birthday. I opened up my garage, make it a precinct and worked the tables that day to help voters. Began as a Republican. Lasted about 8 years, woke up one morning and didn't recognize my party. Went Democrat... to this date, still am! I'm over 60, so you can say I've been around the political block for some time now. Some things are so predictable.. and the way it's looking right now, if Hillary isn't stopped, people don't wake up and SEE what's going on, this country might as well give Bush another term.

In this election, which is such a critical one for all of us, I'm again, a candidate voter; not interested in race, color, gender etc. While many of us lose our memories about voting records, I don't! I've been watching Hillary since she stuck her toe into the water. Here's what I think..

She's always tried to be everything for everyone. Reminds me of a rubber band, a thin one... stretching herself around every issue, one way and then the other. Her votes have to be her 'stands' and they all follow Bush's policies... until recently, she realized she had to begin moving left and looking more like a Democrat. An opportunist, in every way... She is Repug lite, pure and simple. If you've watched and listened, you already know this. If there's any issue on the table, she's got an opinion.. if someone takes a stand, she's got an opinion... if an event occurs, she's got an opinion.. I can see a SNL skit on this coming up...

Right now I support Obama. At least he represents hope..he IS a Democrat and even if he's needs some 'seasoning', he has the WISDOM to accept it and bend with the needs of the people.

Just my opinion...

1. So you're giving us your opinion...about a woman you think has too many opinions?
Am I getting that right?
I like the fact that she is informed and has opinions. I'm not really sure why you see that as a flaw.
