I believe she is at her heart a "Corportist" who seeks power more than her deceptive statments about that she "has been fighting for the rights of women, families and children for 35 years" as mean attempt to have women and liberal and progressive people to see her as one of our own who if elected will actually make the needed changes for those very people and groups. There is little in her record of 35 years of public where she has done that. Maybe as a legal-aide type lawyer after Yale Law School with the Children's Defence Fund - I'll grant her that! But what from the time she went to Arkansas and work as corporate lawyer with the biggest law firm in the state that defended Wal Mart and Tyson Foods (chickens) against workers, consumers, and environmentalist. On the Bd of Directors of Wal MArt, did she raise her voice once to speak out against their anti-labor, anti-women practices? No - no evidence - if she has then she ought to get it out in the public domain. All the evidence of people who were in the Bd Room with her said she never spoke up. Did promiote child care centers are WalMart, No! Did she tell the Bd to stop having WalMart managers train the under-paid WalMart workers to go to local welfare office and housing authorities to get food stamps, welfare help, immunizations, and housing vouchers, to supplement the wages that they could not live on? No, not a word from Hillary, who was on the WalMart Bd of Directors and in a real position of power to speak up asn "fight for the rights of women, poor families and children." No, not Hillary - te self-described champion of poor women, families and children for thirty-five years. So she is lying!
She clearly was currying favor with her corporate over-lords as she was certainly thinking of running for the Senate and President and thinking of the corporate donations she would receive as the price of her SILENCE!
I am sorry my dear sisters, but Hillary is a FRAUD! Bill Clnton is a FRAUD! They both stood silent in the whitehouse in the mid-nineties while the slaughter of millions, including untold women and children (mostly all black on black murder) raged on. They did not lift one finger or public voice to try to stop the violence. They brought us welfare reform which more poor women and children into the streets and the emergency rooms for medical attention. And they brought us NAFTA, that has shipped US manufacturing jobs to countries where primarily women work in horrific factory conditions, making near slave-wages, making crap to sell to the poor in the US in places like WalMart. What a team - let's put them back in the Whitehouse! OMFG! Wake Up!
Like Pelosi, when given the chance in a real position of power, what do they do? Given Hillary record what will she really do in the Whitehouse? Come-on!
I say all of this knowing that if Hillary is the democratic nominee and likely she will be, I will vote for her as the better of two evils as I do believe she will at least appont moderate members to the Supreme Court who will save Roe v Wade and keep the court from its extreme right-wing surge! If she did anything more progressive - meaning pro-people, not corporations, would be icing on the cake. Also, I have no doubt that if Hillary is on the ballot, millions of women will flock to the polls, democrats, independents and a a large percentage of republican women will vote for her as women will rightfully feel that finally we have one of our own to vote for and they can't be any worse than the long string of rich white men who have held the office since 1789. And, I would not blame women for doing that. I would also not blame Black people for voting for Obama for the same reason. I will vote for him if he is somehow the democratic nominee. I would like to be able to vote for Edwards because he is the one candidate who is talking to the interests that I believe in more than anyone has in years, and he as the background, passion, intellect and verbal skills to make the case for the kind of changes that are so crucially needed.
