12 Examples of Hillary Violating Progressives Trust

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/2/17/1486245/-12-Examples-of-Hillary-Violating-Progressives-Trust

Good 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 that’s an accomplishment

6. Hillary Clinton Helped Destroy Welfare in 1996

7. Hillary’s 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. Hillary’s 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.

Affirming that marriage is between a man and a woman, fighting to prevent the legalization of marijuana, supporting capital punishment, supporting war in Libya, opposing the banning of cluster bombs, defending Israeli's disproportionate bombing in Gaza. Damn, the list goes on and on.
