13. You've got a job that is in demand. Most jobs are not. I don't think you're seeing things clearly
The middle class in this country is hurting. While the rich are living better than ever, the middle class is suffering. Prices are through the roof. There are no jobs for them except min. wage ones. Food, living, health insurance and gas costs have risen exponentially. Middle class people are losing their homes and ending up homeless. Lots more. Someone who is concerned about what concerns the middle class needs to be elected. I've heard none of the above from Sen. Clinton.

Further, Sen. Clinton is female and this country isn't ready for a female (or a black person). This country is too bigoted and sexist.

Even if this country were not bigoted or sexist, would Sen. Clinton do any of these?:

Sign orders to make it less appealing for coporations to manufacture in China while selling those goods to us? Disable NAFTA by signing orders for tariffs? Get rid of "Don't ask don't tell?" Increase taxes on the rich only to have them back to what it used to be? Sign an order to strengthen unions? Refuse to attack Iran? Get our troops out of Iraq immediately? Get rid of ERISA so people can freely sue HMOs? Redo the Patriot Act? (And rename the DAMNED thing?) The answer to all those is, no.

If Sen. Clinton were a male, and this male would not do any of the above, I wouldn't vote for him.
