I've decided
that if Hillary Clinton gains the Democratic nomination for President of The United States, I will not vote for her.

The fact the she is a woman has nothing to do with it. The fact that she voted to support this horrible war by continuing the funding is a major reason.

The fact that she gave GWB free reign

Voted yes on S2766
Yes on Hr 4939
Yes on Hr 2863
Yes on S 1042

She has stated that she would not guarantee removal of troops from Iraq by 2013.

Did not say that she would reverse signing statements by GWB in order to relinquish power of presidency.

I'm not going to have some reporter pawing through our papers, WE are the president. HRC

I have to confess that it's crossed my mind that you could not be a Republican and a christian.-HRC

We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good. HRC

We must stay the course in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and asked for more troops to finish the job, we have to exert all our efforts militarily.-HRC 11/29/2003

Over all, I think she represents the status-quo and the love of big business over middle America. I believe that nothing would change in that respect.

I have promised myself that I would not vote for any candidate that sided with GWB on this war and I meant it.

11. That is part of the problem
People do not care enough to voice their opinions and objections over someone who may try to shout them down. Now is THE time to voice opinions. The future of our country depends on it.

16. This sounds like extortion to me. People like you make these public threats
in an effort to make people afraid to vote for HRC.

4. I've got no problem with you screaming that every day UNTIL election day.
But if you don't help us get the Repukes out of office, I say fuck off and get off DU.

Yes, even me, even me, no matter what I feel about HER, I will vote for her if she gets the nomination.

7. Wow...
All the things you quoted actually point to her knowing what the hell she is doing, and not just knee-jerk reacting to pressure from idiots like you.

Thank you for exercising your right not to vote.

9. That's a painful dilemma and I share it. Except I will vote for her over
any of the varied incompetents AKA bottom feeders that have crawled to shore calling themselves the
Republican American elite.

I have the suspicion, should it come to a HRC presidency, that the real Hillary will stand up when it is won and signed.
The duplicity implied in my perception is not pretty, but it may get me a more acceptable representative.
I suspect the votes and some of the behaviors are too designed to please and make herself be liked by everybody. A trait she learned by watching her husband, who could pull off such a faulty premise better because he has a lot of the charisma she lacks, and therefore he has it in spades.

I digress.
I hope if necessary you can come around.
