From what I can tell, I'm the first person to seriously answer the OP in this thread. And we're on to two pages. Wow.Mason4Assassin444 wrote:
Well, I myself would vote for Barack Obama, but I see alot of people, Conservatives and Democrats shitting all over Hillary Clinton. What exactly is it thats makes her so unelectable?
Is it the baggage of the adulterer husband? Or is it her policy stances that turn her off to the public? Or is it her impression of being a bull dike? I'm just curious because I truly know nothing about the woman except she is a senator of NY and doesn't suck her hubby's dingy.
As one half of the Arkansans on this forum, I'll see if I can give you some real reasons to dislike Hillary.
First, I have nothing against her husband. He was a good governor from what I hear (was living in MO at the time), and I think he mostly did a good job as President. If he wants to get his dick sucked, I really don't have a problem with that, I just wish he'd have kept it a secret.
Next, yes, I have a problem with her policy stances. Really, about the only place she and I agree is on abortion. Let's look at her on the issues:
She supports repealing Bush's tax cuts. I support cutting federal funding by every dollar possible, from every department, leaving the tax cuts in place, and paying off the national debt. Once that sucker's a little lower, I say we cut taxes some more. And then find more places to cut spending. Hell, if we can keep Ted Stevens's little appropriations out of the bills, that's like $60 billion a year, right there.
She is a strong advocate of Hate Crimes legislation, and supports tougher sentancing for those convicted under said statutes. I can't abide by this: We cannot punish people for what they think, just what they do. I *think* Hillary is an idiot, but if I were to kill her, is my murder somehow worse because I didn't like her? Hate crimes legislation is just another way to restrict our free speech, and I will fight to the death any person who tries to remove ANY of my Constitutional rights.
She supports the three strikes laws, and the death penalty. I don't support either of these, the former for its arbitrariness, and the latter for the number of times we screw it up.
She is against school vouchers, and for national control of education policy. I couldn't be more strongly against both of these things.
She's a strong supporter of gun control. She voted no on the bill that made it illegal to sue firearms manufacturers for non-negligence related deaths AND the bill that made it illegal to sue firearms manufacturers for the "costs" of firearms-related crime. She does not support the right of a citizen to get a license to carry a weapon concealed on his person, and supports national licensing and registration for firearms.
I woudn't vote for her on this position alone, but the others just help make up my mind.She supports a national healthcare plan. I couldn't oppose it more strongly.
I woudn't vote for her on this position alone, but the others just help make up my mind.She wants the bulk of homeland security grant money to go to states that have a "high risk" for attacks. Despite the fact that we can't define what the risk is. In other words, the only states that need grant money form HS are California and NY, as well as DC. Because no one of importance lives anywhere else. Also, she voted to reauthorize the PATRIOT act.
She's pro-union.
OK, so those are my problems with her on the issues. Then you have her scandels to worry about. And here is where I, as an Arkansas resident, have a particularily sharp view.
She was guilty as sin of the crimes she was accused of in Whitewhater. She just managed to cover it up. Just like she did with the cattle futures in the early 80's, a scandal that marred her first ladyship of the state. When it comes right down to it, she's just unethical. She's never met a rule that she couldn't exploit for personal gain. Ethically, was it right for her to change her address to NY and run for the senate from there? Hell no. But she did it. She has never allowed morality or ethics to get in the way of what she wants.
And that's what's wrong with her.
