Quote:I think he is the real anti-bush candidate since losing to him in 2000. I would call him a liberal in domestic policy(for big powerful federal government), although he would be probably be hawkish on foreign policy.
Adding in his social views, I suppose he is a pretty far cry from the dream candidate of conservative libertarians. I'm not one, and he's still not my dream candidate, but I think we could do a lot worse.
Quote:What I despise about the Clintons is that they engage in the dirtiest of politics, get caught at it, and still somehow keep their political base. The smears and heinous way the Clinton camp has treated Obama would have been "Smart Politics" if carried out against their Republican rivals. It's as if their supporters believe the lies about a vast right wing conspiracy, just like Hillary believes that Bill is just framed by all those women who throw themselves against him. To me, Hillary represents the "Clueless Victims" party.
I do not believe that Hillary is the slightest bit naive/gullible/clueless with regards to her marriage or any other matter. Otherwise, we are in agreement. If anyone here is facing rough times and hoping the government will step into your life and make everything right, Hillary is your best bet.
