Of course not. You don't care that her husband met with the attorney general in private.
Quote:You don't care that she voted to authorize a war that has destabilized the Middle East.... What? Of COURSE I care about this! Her Iraq vote always has been the biggest negative about Hillary for me. I'm just willing to support her anyway because I believe that she would not have made that decision with all the intelligence the Bush Administration had, that the Senate was lied to by the Bush Administration in an effort to get them to support a disastrously bad war Bush & co. were determined to start, and that she only voted that way (and again, Kerry, Biden, and more all voted the same way!) as a political maneuver to not oppose something they all thought was going to be a political negative to vote against.
Quote:You don't care that Clinton makes amazingly high-paid private speeches to the most powerful financial giants in the worldHigh-ranking ex-government officials give paid speeches ALL THE TIME, and it's not corruption. Not in any way. It's just making money by giving a speech, and if you can get paid for that, why not?
Quote:or that she backs a trade deal that will open further unregulated labor markets so that American workers will be forced to accept further wage and benefits decreases if they want to continue working at all.Hillary's current position is that she opposes TPP, you know. I hope that doesn't change, because I agree that it is a bad deal which needs to be stopped. I think it would be hard for her to switch sides on TPP now, after running for president opposing it... but unfortunately, my guess is that Obama gets it through in the lame-duck session in January, since he for whatever reason supports the thing and wants it passed, and that's probably the best shot for passing it.
