33. no no no...come on...let's be honest
Hillary fans never want to admit that she had something to do with the Whitewater scandal. Hillary is a squeaky-clean candidate for them.

You call it what you want, but it is ok to criticize a Democratic candidate based on their background and past.

As for how she handled her husband, one could take the position that she 'stood by her man', and you could also take the position that she's a power-hungry woman who decided it was more important to remain a 'Clinton' for her future aspirations than leave her husband. Or you could take the position that she genuinely loves him and forgave him. Who knows...and who cares. That wasn't the issue for me.

I also do not like her for, dare I use a Republican talking point, Flip-flopping. Democratic candidates are also vulnerable to do that. I don't like how she gives the impression that she's for sale, depending on who funds her coffers more. And that's Republican behavior that I'd rather not see in the Democratic party. I want someone with more principles, which is why i support Kucinich, Dodd, or other candidates within the party.

you go ahead and support Hillary. I'm not going to fall for her act and think that some elite, centrist, DLC-tied Washington-player actually cares about little old me.
