    I could care less about their intent - it still doesn't change the fact they want government to enforce their social ideas.

    I agree with them on issues like abortion (because abrotion is murder), but not on any other social issues that I can think of... Not that I'm really opposed to how they live their lives and their personal ideas, however the government shouldn't be enforcing or shouldn't be used to enforce any social ideas... That is why we have a First Amendment. We have the right to be who we are and be vocal with it.

    I'm no republican.... She can lie her ass off all she likes but informed people (the few of us there are) will laugh our ass off.

    Remember that retard Clinton isn't even preaching to informed people - she is talking to the idiot masses that want something.

    She gets on a soap box and panders to single issue idiots - she will do or say whatever it takes to get the moron vote.

    Anyone that is informed and not partisan is probably laughing their asses off at her..... The (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) is probably betting that the idiots will get her elected....

    Of course realistic rational politicians that don't pander to the masses who want money can't even make it onto a ballot.

    Billary would kill this nation - she is as much of a fascist as Hitler.

    LOL - yeah, like make up stories about dodging imaginary bullets in Kosovo? LMAO! :)

    A lot of people seem to have latched on to the truth in the early 60's, since then not so much. At least back in the 60's people protested, today not so much.

    Lyndon Johnson got us stuck in Vietnam with a false flag operation at the Gulf of Tonkin, and by the time the Democratic Convention came around everyone knew about it, and the result was actual violence.

    These days, the well behaved crowds are taken through security scanners before being led off to the free speech zones. No one complains, the worst we ever get is one of those PETA kooks showing us her breasts. All these Freddie Gray protests would be hilarious if they weren't so pathetic, they get grand totals of 500 people in population centers like Los Angeles.

    Maybe it's getting near time for some good old fashioned hooliganism.

    Look, as an outsider looking in, and I have watched US politics for years with no bias one way or the other, I can tell you categorically that no potential candidate in decades has acted any differently to what you describe above.

    Yet pseudo-intellectuals beg for a third party but scoff at libertarians and paint us as nuts and in some cases anarchists...

    Republicans actually believe libertarians represent OWS or something... The notion that we're anarchistic stoners is far from the truth. We're classical liberals who adore the Bill of Rights and Constitution and advocate limits on government.

    Of course the idiots and the power hungry, weather it be republican or progressive don't want that - politicians need problems to keep power so they have no desire to solve problems, so the last thing they want is a guy like me using commonsense and clean things up.

    People are greedy and crazy and the politicians pander to that disease while the rest that aren't are stuck riding the bus.

    Sorry for the grammar, I'm posting this from a terrrible Ipad.

    There is one upside to Hillary being the nominee. For the next ten years no liberal/Democrat can say anything about income inequality whether its gender related or just rich vs poor. Hillary's female staff made less than her male staff and she and Bill made $100 billion dollars in the last 5 hours. They can't say a peep about transparency nor can they talk about the Koch brothers financing politics. Even if you HATE the Koch brothers they are no where near the same as Morocco or Saudi Arabia or even more disturbing, Russia. This is simply proof in the pudding (never quite understood that phrase) that liberals are just hypocrites. Do as I say, not as I do.

    Maybe because the press like the Republicans haven't come up with any new questions.Have you checked when the last time each of the Republican candidates have answered questions from the press. Don't quite Recall Bush ever doing it.

    Actually, I agree with that, to a point. Americans are notorious for their short attention spans. Ideally, Hillary should have made a clean wash years ago and allow anything negative she might say, to run its course. On the other hand, the press does not suffer from SAS and could keep hammering away at certain things. Unfortunately, the Benghazi incident proved one thing...the more the media hammered away at Hillary about this incident, the more tired the American public became from hearing it. With the except of hard-core conservatives, Benghazi has become a cliché now.

    Sanders has become the media darling insofar that he actually courts the press and will answer anything. His stands have not wavered over the years, unlike Hillary who is in her chameleon mode, trying to pretend to be a populist. Also, unlike Hillary, Sanders has nothing to hide while the Clinton baggage of skeletons could fill an arena....well, I'm exaggerating a bit, maybe just a concert hall.

    Hillary Clinton is a corporatist, like Barack Obama, like George W. Bush. All of them, beholden to their corporate masters. Her strategy of avoiding the media has every chance of boomeranging against her...unless the corporately media softballs her for the duration.

    The less I know about her the more I like.

    While she postpones meeting the coming crapstorm questions about the Clinton Global Slush Fund and Slick Willie's $500,000.00 speeches and her e-mail crimes, the media gets to posit speculation that will likely be worse than the truth.

    It won't go away. This is not 1998. Eventually a hungry Dem contender will start bashing her. Already a fair number of leftist pundits have taken hots at her obvious corruption. It's not going away.

    Opinions and questions of other people doesn't matter for her! She think only about her career and money of corporations, that's why she wanna become president and double our national debt!

    That is just purely silly. Just because a person is wealthy does not disqualify them from realizing there is a problem with growing wealth inequality in America.

    I agree that Hillary is a very corrupt lady, and she is very corporate. She doesn't practice what she preaches.

    However unless the Republicans get a candidate that is at least tolerant of gay marriage, and open to real immigration policies that help hard-working folks who want to be Americans, they're not going to beat her. All of the people in the GOP that have declared their candidacy are deeply flawed and have said some outlandish, if not offensive, things.

    I doubt that moderates/undecided/independant voters will have an issue with a candidate being fiscally conservative, but the hard right social views are killing them in the general elections.

    No ammo against her. Did you just pop out of a cocoon. I can't think of anyone that has more ammo against.

    The sad part of this is many voters will support Hillary regardless. She'll get the black vote, women will likely support her and so will young people, especially the college crowd. She'll also get the support of every democrat loyalist, including those in the media and she knows it. So, she really doesn't need to do a lot except build her war chest and work building her organization. Remember, it's still early, she's the front runner and as of yet she has no serious Democrat opponent. So, even though some in the media are complaining about her unwillingness to face their questioning, it's fairly meaningless to her.
    Hillary & Bill have been working on this campaign since the day they left the WH, so don't think for a minute we're going to get any spontaneous, unscripted, Hillary moments. Not going to happen. And if it does, it'll be totally by accident.

    She still hasn't answered the old ones that's why they keep asking.

    Sanders: American people 'don't know' what Hillary is running on

    I posted that thread on April 15th. Bernie's the only "real" progressive running. I hope progressives get behind him and encourage him to run as an independent. He'll lose in the primary if he runs as Democrat to the Clinton election machine.

    Unless the right makes a deal with Obama. Obama Care stays if the DOJ goes after her for the eMail server.

    lol at this point I dare republicans to try to take away Obamacare. Democrats will literally be wheeling out sick people who were insured and no longer are to condemn them. It would be another political slam dunk for Democrats.

    Because people may not like the name Obamacare. But they certainly like the things Obamacare is doing. And without a replacement they will feel political wrath.
