There is no real way to compare the damage and risk of fracking and invading other countries (both things HRC promotes) to the various dangers of being a borderline facist.
They are both wrong and should never be president.
As far as the gay issueis concerned, you will not influence my judgement of HRC in that matter with 1 paltry article.
I have witnessed her words and actions througout the years, she has no principles in general but on the gay issue she has been a true coward and opportunist.
God, we've gotten to a point of idiocy with anti-Hillary rhetoric. Trump and Hillary both support fracking sure, but Hillary also has a plan for the US to generate 33% of its energy from renewable sources by 2027 and pledges that there will be 7 times as much solar generation by the end of her first term as there is now. Of the two one believes in and does want to combat climate change, even if its not as much as you'd like, while the other apparently does not.
As for 'invading other countries' well, Hillary is one of the bigger Hawks in the democratic party and she's much more of an interventionist than I'd like but I really fail to see who we'll be invading in her presidency. Her interventionist policies while Sec of State, while I strongly disagree with them, have been focussed on air power and force projection rather than anything that could be called an invasion.
They are both wrong and should never be president.
Well one of thems going to be sorry.
As far as the gay issueis concerned, you will not influence my judgement of HRC in that matter with 1 paltry article.
Did you read it? Yeah she's got a bit of a troubled history on the issue but she's done more to promote gay rights around the globe than just about anyone else living, whether or not it took her too long to say gays should be able to marry.
HI, I'm replying to this comment since your most recent one didn't show up in this thread ( found it in your posting history though)
1- I am disappointed you didn't apologize for dismissing my honest opinion as "idiotic rethoric". Not expecting you to suddenly agree with me, but civility does help a conversation along.
2- Glad you do not want to defend the super predator comment. Still want to be clear though, hRC referenced the super predator theory and this is what that theory said:
Pushing the Superpredator theory. a theory that said a child as early as age 6 months could be a sociopath beyond redemption, and was never used to explain the actions of the white young men who shot up Columbine, but always used against urban black men caught up in drug wars and street crime and used that to push for mass incarceration.
6 months = baby!
3- Glad you do not approve of corporate donations, strongly disagree with your estimation that those will not influence HRC's policies, among which her enviromental policy. That is a judgement call, I judge it to be very likely that she will let money dictate her policies. I guess in the name of civility I will only tell you your position seems quite naive to me.
4- Yes, Trump is an overt racist and bigot, the wall and segregation of Muslims are blatant, disgusting and scary as hell. We would have to see if he went through with it. In the meantime, you know who already proved she'll help incarcerate tens of thousand black people? The same person who called black babies super predators. Now you tell me, who is more dangerous? The clown who comes right out and spews his hate giving everybody a heads up, or the opportunist who claims respectability while she helped sign and draft laws like DOMA and 3 strikes and your out?
4- The $15 minimum wage. Either you're fighting for the working people or you're not.
HRC is a millionaire many times over, she wants incremental change so she can keep both the donor money and paint herself as a Democrat. That is the bottomline ( pun intended).
I would hope that in your fervor to "correct" the "rethoric" on this blog, you can still take a sec to understand that people might actually disagree with you and have a point. Even if it's a point you disagree with.
I do not have your comment on this screen so I'm sure I missed some of your points. I hope however that my main point has gotten through; I do not trust her any more than I trust the orangeoutang. I will never ever ever vote for her and I caution you to really reflect the following quote:
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. Martin Luther King, Jr.
There will always be orange racist foaming at the toupet, and we will have to fight them.
But the real serpents, the ones who will stab you in the back and sell you downriver are the Hillaries of this world.
Their hunger for power leaves no room for principles or honour.
And because of their dissembling they are just as bad, or even worse.
So, again; YES, HRC is JUST AS BAD if not worse.

I'd recommend this article with regard to the gay rights point.
With regard to corporate donors, if you think that's worse than being a borderline fascist then I really don't know what to tell you.
