Maybe I've been wrong about Hillary

[MannyGoldstein]

I had her pegged as someone who never stuck her neck out, but it turns out that some of her positions are pretty controversial for, say, the 1700s:

1. I'm detecting a note of sarcasm, somehow

Look, Manny, this is one area where Hillary is right not to be "controversial". If I may be so bold.

I liked her statement! Perfect tone.

2. This trend of mocking politicians for saying something correct is weird. nt

3. This is all part of the dumbing down of America. nt

6. Hillary's tweet is funny because she comments so little on controversial issues and then

comes out with this utterly uncontroversial tweet as if she was saying something profound and extremely controversial. It's funny. Hillary = overly cautious and not very profound. This tweet shows it.

All of us agree with Hillary on this topic. Hillary is as usual just repeating banalities. It would be something great if she proposed to provide free vaccinations for all American children at taxpayer expense. That would be a great idea.


In fact, I do not understand why someone doesn't point out that vaccinations should and probably are covered by the ACA, Obamacare. And that is great.

4. Good for her. No one here ever said she was stupid

and with good reason. We just don't need another Third Way president.

Actually, I'm delighted this seems to be shaping up along party lines, the party that allowed the banksters to run riot and crash the economy in 2008 are now proposing letting deadly disease run riot--at least among the 99%--so they can return to the glory days of having half the children in this country die before reaching adulthood. That's going to make a lot of the churchy people look at their kids and wonder who has their interests at heart.

5. K&R.

7. I like what she tweeted

Everything she said was true.
Nothing to fear from that statement.
Sometimes people go out of their way to criticize her for no reason.

8. Well, she's speaking to an audience...

...made up of people with 1700s-thinking.
