18. I'm an "Anybody but Hillary" person, but
Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 11:30 AM by MindMatter
I thought that was her best moment. She was strong and articulate. Passion is a good thing. She is right. It is not about who will make change. It is about WHAT KIND of change, and where the priorities lie.

I'm not saying the Clintons are pure evil. Far from it. Most of what they did was at least neutral or good for America -- and far better than any Republican would ever do. But still, their natural instinct is to buddy up to the giant corporation and lobbyists. That is just how they think. That's a change they will not make. I agree with Edwards that the nation is at a moment, near destruction, where we can no longer look upon the process of change as a cozy little Beltway negotiation where everybody walks out of the room getting their piece of the pie. There isn't enough pie left for that. Bush has seen to that. We have to start drawing some hard lines, and I simply don't trust the DLCers to do that. That kind of approach to making change is simply not in their DNA.
