Yeah, and Hillary is solid as a rock, right? I don't hear Romney
taking 4 positions on an issue, with four different dialects, in one
day. Not to mention, at least Romney is willing to stand up in front
of a hostile interivew and explain his posititions and their
evolution. Not on dem (Hillary) will even take unscripted questions,
much less address the other half of the country. Everytime she gets a
quesiton she doesn't like, she attacks the questioner, it is a tactic
developed by the Clintons back a few years ago... They just call it a
vast right wing conspiracy, and dodge.. All the time setting up groups
like Media Matters to lie and run interferance..


Although I lean towards the "right" politically, I've always tried to keep
an open mind during election seasons. There are so many problems to
resolve, both domestic social issues and in international affairs that it
would be stupid not to give every serious candidate some consideration,
regardless of their party affiliation. Having said that, my impressions of
Hillary (so far) are as follows:



1. Brilliant mind.

2. Politically experienced.

3. Media experienced.



but:



4. Seems to be motivated by a drive for personal achievement rather than
having a real national interest vision.

5. Continues to propose domestic programs that border on socialism, (which,
of course, gets votes). Think about it. Only 50 percent of the population
pays income taxes.

6. Admitted Yankees fan.



Number 5 (and 6) are bothersome for me.



I, for one, am all for delaying the eventual slide of the USA to socialism
for as long as humanly possible.



I'd much rather provide tax money, donations and service to enable those in
need (but otherwise physically and mentally capable) with the tools and
knowledge to provide for themselves rather than becoming dependents of the
government.

I think most people would agree with that. But, it's hard to tell without
definitions. What's your brief definition of socialized medicine, for
instance? Explain as if you needed to say it in a short sentence to an
economics class.

It's interesting how people who bitch about "socialism" are never EVER
willing to define an example. I know why. So do you.

Because what I might define as socialism, you would likely disagree with and
call me stupid.

Not at all. But, let's stick with a specific issue: "socialized medicine".
How do you define that?

I thought sticking with the specific issue, was judging the performers
of the Republican candidate debate.....

I really don't think you have time for this, Doug.



I do now! Don't obsess about my schedule. Go iron your socks or something.
