Reply #12: Hillary? Please no...

If people paid attention to the fact that Hillary is taking more money from special interest groups than ANY other candidate (I thought that was a republican role?), we'd have different poll numbers.

I can't seriously believe someone who's taken all of that healthcare industry cash is going to reform healthcare to the benefit of most people.

Also, we have to stop comparing things to the 90's. Was Hillary awash in special interest money in the 90's? The context has changed, not to mention the fact that Bill Clinton wasn't especially progressive on some crucial issues.

NAFTA, GATT and the FCC Telecom Act of 1996 (partly to blame for our woeful mainstream media) are something that should embarrass anyone who calls themselves liberal or progressive.

I'm assuming we'll see even more of this type of policy if Hillary is elected.
