(1,150 posts)any 'vile' comments I have made concerning Hillary Clinton's candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency.
Still, I might be able to do something about your sickened state. (I don't like to see people suffer if I can do something about it.)
The categorization of activity or the state of a thing as vile is entirely subjective, it's pretty hard to know which kinds of statements are, to you, vile. So, I'll just take full responsibility for everything I've ever said about her candidacy, although, since, oh, around the age of 16, I have never said something, then declared myself not responsible for having said it, so it's a bit redundant. Nevertheless, I'll make some statements that I take full responsibility for, in the hope that you might find at least one of them vile. Hopefully, making a vile statement and taking full responsibility for having done so will help alleviate your state of sickness.
I don't know if simply writing 'I really don't want to vote for Hillary Clinton for the office of the Presidency' is something you find vile or not, but I really don't want to vote for Hillary Clinton for the office of the Presidency. I take full responsibility for writing that.
How about this: I believe that the candidacy of Hillary Clinton for the office of the Presidency is the product a couple of decades of personal ambition, and that she is not a leader. Rather, she waits for others to lead and carefully examines the level of their successes or failures. Then, she times her statements of opinions (and possibly her actual opinions) so as to offend the fewest possible people, while associating herself just enough with the politically more advantageous position to be perceived by the people for whom the position is important as being 'on their side.'
I wrote that and take full responsibility for it.
Um... Maybe this? The ongoing campaign of Hillary Clinton to accumulate personal power is heavily financed by major corporations and wealthy parties, and she appears to greatly value her status as a champion for their interests, even as she makes public statements suggesting opposition to some of them. I believe the probable policies of a potential officeholder can be predicted with great accuracy by examination of the major contributors of funds to their campaign(s). And I really don't like what I see.
I wrote that and take full responsibility for it.
If there's a comment that I didn't make that you consider vile, please let me know and I will consider whether I would be in agreement with the substance of the comment, and then whether I would be comfortable writing it. If so, I would, of course, take full responsibility for doing so, if it would help you feel less sickened.
