Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU Have Against Hillary?
Here's what I have against Hillary

1)She went into congress during the first Clinton term with a universal health plan that made a hell of a lot more sense than what we have now, but tried to ram it through without rallying any support for it, by attaching it to a budget appropriations bill. She and the bill went down in flames, setting ANY health care reform back twenty years.

2)Having learned the value of compromise and keeping a low profile from this awesome defeat, she has become the ultimate Senate compromiser aand concilliator, refusing to take a high profile stance on ANY controversial bill or stance. She has become one of the most popular Senators across party lines due to these skills and this strategy.

That's what I don't like about her. What I do like about her is the fact that I think she still holds the belief that real and necessary reform is possible, despite the fact she rarely talks about it. And somehow I think the new compromizing Hillary may have the political will and skill to get these reforms accomplished.

Oh, one other thing I don't like. She can declaim "GOD BLESS AMERICA" to a crowd of New York police officers and make it sound like a 7th grade math teacher telling them to pipe down.

But that's Hill for you.
