Related: About this forum12 Examples of Hillary Violating Progressives Trust
http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/2/17/1486245/-12-Examples-of-Hillary-Violating-Progressives-TrustGood Read. I'll list the 12 examples here, but you need to read the blog...too much to post here.
1. Hillary voted for the USA PATRIOT ACT in 2001
2. Hillary voted to renew USA PATRIOT ACT in 2006
3. Hillary said Edward Snowden deserves jail time
4. Hillary voted for the Iraq War Powers Resolution
5. Hillary helped shape No Child Left Behind, and apparently she thinks thats an accomplishment
6. Hillary Clinton Helped Destroy Welfare in 1996
7. Hillarys Disturbing Relationship with Special Interests
8. Hillary Voted YES to the Biggest Special Interest Handout Ever
9. Hillary continues to mislead about percent of her donations that come from small contributions.
10. Hillary was a moderate for decades; suddenly a progressive
11. Hillary Stopped Fighting for Single-Payer Health Care
12. Hillarys quadruple lie about sniper fire in Bosnia
The four that I think are most important to look at now are 4, 5, 6, 11.
She really does not get the impact of poverty on education and generational rising above poverty. I don't think she ever will. And her plans for health care are going nowhere fast, when people need help right now. Millions of people. And of course, her war hawk stances. I'll never trust her to be commander in chief. Never.
