Reply #37: Hillary is part of the neocon establishment.

[CoffeeCat]

She's backed their war votes...every step of the way. That's indisputable. She can "parse" her
Iraq-war vote or her Kyl/Lieberman vote any way she wants. In the end, she votes with them.

Furthermore, the neocons wrote a letter to then-President Bill Clinton in 1998. The letter was
signed by Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Cheney, and other assorted neocons. They asked Clinton for war
with Iraq. Clinton refused.

Fast forward to the Iraq war vote. The same neocon cast of characters who asked President
Clinton for war, were now asking for Congressional approval. Does anyone actually believe
that Hillary (with her "yes" vote) didn't fully comprehend that the neocons who asked her
husband for war, were back again--asking for it again? She knew they wanted this war--because
they asked her husband for it.

They rode Sept 11 fear, and tales of WMD into Iraq--and SHE, better than anyone else, knew it
was a lie.

Also, as a New York Senator, sitting on the Armed Services Committee--she barely peeped as Bush
tore down our democracy, dismantled our civil rights, erased Habeas Corpus, enacted torture as
a national policy and wiretapped illegally.

All of us were screaming from the rafters about this stuff. Where was Hillary Clinton?

She's not about change. She never was. She ran on "experience" until she lost Iowa and saw that Obama
and Edwards would obliterate her as "change" candidates.

She's not what we need to restore our democracy, unite the country and roll back the BushCo damage.

I would not support her in the vp slot. That makes no sense at all. She and Obama aren't even
speaking the same language.

As far as a cabinet-level position, I'd be against that too--but I wouldn't consider it to be as
disastrous as vp. People say she'd be great at implementing healthcare. She failed miserably
when she had that responsibility during Bill's administration. She's not a team player. She's a dirty
trickster and she uses ham-handed tactics. Plus, her plan was secretive and non-inclusive--which
was myopic, and part of the reason her plan failed.

I don't like her at all, from a political standpoint--because her philosophies and her tactics
are not healthy for the country.

I think she would make a fabulous CEO of a Fortunate 100 company. I think her personality, temperment
and her talents would fit perfectly in the corporate world.
