FROM SIU university Newspaper.Must Read WOW!
Hillary Clinton is wrong for the Democratic Party nomination for three principle reasons. First and foremost, in politics, she will be extremely hard to elect. Next, her plans for healthcare and Iraq are politically crafted and insubstantially progressive enough to make a difference. Finally, she is a politician, not a person; she has no stance on issues but what focus groups and polls tell her.
According to a recent poll, 50 percent of Americans say they will not vote for Hillary Clinton. Many Americans don't know whom they will vote for, but half know whom they won't vote for. And that's even before the nomination have happened. This is not just the Hannitys of the world; it is much of her own party and its base.
Some say her gender is the main obstacle to her electability, but most of them seem to miss the forest for the trees. Sure, some ignorant fools think that women can't "have their fingers on the button" due to menstrual cycles, but the vast majority of this country is not that stupid.
She takes this idiotic belief to heart and perpetuates the idea that a successful woman cannot be a strong woman, she can only be strong. She overcompensates under the patriarchal belief that compassion, femininity and empathy look weak.
Anyone who feels that we should elect a woman just because she is a woman should take a good look at who this woman is and ask themselves: Is this woman the kind of woman you want?
With issues, it is on both healthcare and the war in Iraq where you see the true nature of Hillary's politics. She touts her healthcare plan as being a way to go after the big bad insurance companies.
Really? Then why do the major insurance companies want the new Hillary-care? It's because now, every single uninsured person in America will be covered by the private, for-profit insurance companies at the cost of the taxpayer. The problem with our healthcare is a moral one: Should insurance companies be for-profit? Well, Jesus would say no, and yet Hillary says yes.
