Hilliary Clinton: Is she for real?
I am having a hard time finding reasons for voting for Hillary Clinton . Most of the people interviewed as to why they will vote for Mrs. Clinton give reasons like the following: Because she is a woman; She will get something done; We need to change course. What does she advocate?
I can tell you what she advocates based on her speeches and
interviews and also what she does not advocate:
1) She has voted against drilling for additional oil reserves in the USA, in particular
ANWR and off shore areas. Her stance gives more power to Venezuela, Nigeria, Saudi
Arabia, and Mexico. Canada is our biggest outside source.
2) She has voted against the 2003 tax cuts which have resulted in a great economy and
huge increases in Federal tax revenues.
3) She has voted against reduction of the Federal Estate Tax.
4) She has embraced the theory that humans are the main cause
for global warming and will consider no other possibility.
5) She wants to raise taxes on dividends and capital gains.
6) She has no idea as to what determines the price of our gasoline and wants to place
an “excess profit” tax on oil
companies even though it will not produce an additional
barrel of oil.
7) Does not want to try and strengthen out Social Security
by permitting private accounts for young people and is
against eliminating the yearly cost of living increases which
only weakens the system. Does not remind older Americans
that there is no trust holding billions of dollars, only IOU’s.
8) Initially was for our Iraq invasion and even stated that Iraq was
providing sanctuary and aid to al Qaeda but has sinced dis-owned
her remarks.
9) Constantly chastises large corporations that employ millions
and provide state of the art products and services to all of us.
10) She is in favor of abortion and condones partial birth
abortion.
She also blames everyone who disagrees on embryo stem cell
research and gives no credit for adult stem research and umbilical cord research that does
not promote destroying the fetus and that the two other types mentioned above have shown
excellent results.
In summary, if someone can give me some substantive reasons why I should vote for Hillary,
please let me know.
