Other than this issue I'm not sure where Mrs. Clinton stands. All I know is it would be a great slap in the dubya face to have a Clinton in office again and she certainly couldn't do any worse. 
I will, however, be voting for a 3rd party most likely, or anyone who represents Instant Runoff Voting. | She can't do any worse, but not improving is not acceptable to me. She'd be as harmful to this country as Bush has been. If she winds up being the Democratic Nominee, I predict voting Republican. If she's the nominee I definately could not vote third party, because they have no real chance of winning and for me priority number one is keeping her out of office. I would sooner vote 'W' to a third term. |
You have just defined why America so desperately needs Instant Runoff Voting! People vote against canidates rather than for one.
It will be interesting to see where Mrs. Clinton stands on other issues. I don't think she has any true republican competition if she decides to win and I think she could take it. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. |
