Hillary Clinton - Should She Concede?

Luba · 05-11-2008, 07:11 AM

I don't know where I read or saw the Story, should have looked it up immediately, but my brain hasn't been up to snuff with this illness!

Luba, sidetracked AGAIN....

Anyway, I understood that she spent $6 million dollars more on her campaign, when she should have given that money to the poor and conceded the race..

What do you think?

I think she should concede. I have been worried that she just might pull it off and I don't want 4 more years of a Clinton in office, especially her.

I don't really like her, but it's her money (right?) - she can do whatever the heck she wants to do with it. Hell if I could be president I would do what ever it takes.

I don't trust her at all; she has dolls eyes that kinda reminds me of the puppets in Thunderbirds.

I don't like any of them.

i want a convention battle that tears the democratic party apart

Vautrin · 05-13-2008, 01:47 PM

Why?

Are you claiming Afghanistan, Iraq and the budget deficit are successes?

Zil · 05-13-2008, 07:42 PM

I want a candidate like Robin Williams' character in Man Of The Year.

He would totally get my vote.

PepsiChic · 05-13-2008, 09:20 PM

TKDLady · 05-13-2008, 09:32 PM

He couldn't do any worse than Hillary!!

the wars will work out long term, and the budget deficit wouldnt be fixed under clinton, as she wants a huge health care system that will cost a ton of money. that would only be fixed by the elimination of a lot of social services and preferrably privatized social security and a consumption tax rather then a
income tax

Thats a massive assumption and I really don't agree that Iraq will work out in the long term, not in the way people would like it too anyway.

Its a massive drain in the US economy as they are supporting the Iraqi economy and Iraqi Army right now as well as spending millions every day on the armed forces out there and I get the impression as a bystander and not a US citizen that I don't think its really sunk in yet to most Americans the sheer cost of what Bush commited you guys too.

Personally in the case of Clinton, if she wants a health care system like the some EU states you need to get out of Iraq quickly and cleanly and ditch some of the more expensive military projects the US has, like Son of Star Wars and CV building and F22's. Ditch that lot and you have your health care system and probably allot more. Getting out now will also mean you won't add to the 29,900 US service personel who have been injured will now be claiming off the state.

id rather have the best military and not end up like europe. The governments job is to have a military not provide healthcare to the poor. Too much of my paycheck already goes to the government universal healthcare is a huge waste of money. The right to free healthcare is not in the constitution

Just because the constitution doesn't have that in it, it doesn't mean it can't be amended, like all the other amendments. When it was written the social welfare was a foreign concept, the need to own a gun wasn't. Slavery was against the constitution but look how that changed. If the English still lived by the Magna Carta from 13th century then we'd have some serious problems.

What about those poor people who've lost there jobs because the government has caused economic decline? If the government puts up a military contract and its won by a company and the other competitors have to make lay offs because they lost who's fault is that? The governments, not the companies because the Government controls licenses for arms manufacturers, they should have made them merge if there was a problem ahead. Why not provide health care to the poor? Aren't they the most in need? The government controls every part of the economy so if there are poor people in a country its the governments fault and no one elses. Its exactly how government works.
