27. Any candidate can PROMISE or PROPOSE anything.....
Ask the GLBT Community who got the shaft from the last Clinton Administration who promised them the moon in exchange for their overwhelming support (which the Community gave them) only to get shafted completely by them after the election. What they got for their support, instead, was DOMA, Don't Ask / Don't Tell, reduced funding for AIDS research and treatment, and various other kicks to the gut.

The best we will possibly get from HRC (or ANYONE so closely affiliated and supported by Big Pharma, Big Med, and Big Insurance) no matter what she proposes or promises now, is maybe Universal HEALTH INSURANCE.

The Clintons broke faith before and will do it again. They can't be trusted. Neither can any other "corporate" candidate. Do you really think corporations pour money in those campaigns for OUR GOOD? Uh, no....... they don't what will be donr "for us" will be what's good for THEM. Take that to the bank.
