Hillary supporters - I have a question

[jillan]

What the candidates "big issue(s)" are right now.... as I see it-

Biden - Plan for Iraq (and region) / public financing of elections

Edwards - healthcare / poverty

Obama - Change and Hope / coming together

Kucinich - Peace is the answer

Gravel - Don't play politics

Richardson - His resume'


What is Hillary's? I'm not trying to start anything here.
I honestly don't know. First woman Prez???

Help!

Dodd supporters - I couldn't think of anything for him either. So please help here too.

1. This isn't Miss America

candidates aren't required to have a pet topic.

[jillan]

2. No - I am just trying to figure out what she stands for.

What is her message to the people?

I honestly don't know. Please enlighten me.

3. We are going to need

a really strong leader. With oil becoming scarce and climate change and the national debt it will be a difficult time in history. I think they are all great in a general way but I am still pondering on which will be able to move us in the direction we need to go in. We need to make some difficult changes fast to address the problems.

[jillan]

4. I see the same things as you do. And I support Biden BUT -

that's for another thread.

I want to learn more about Hillary in this thread.

5. Hillary is not a single issue candidate and neither are the rest of them!

Each candidate has a position on health care, Iraq, social security, the economy, gay rights, and every other issue you may have as YOUR priority. You really needto listen to each of them, and visit their web sites to see how closely their positions are to yours.

[jillan]

6. You're right. Tonite I realized that I really don't know much about Hillary.

Was kinda hoping Hillary supporters would help me learn more.

11. I don't know what kind of info you're looking for. Check her web site

for specifics, but to me, I don't pay as much attention to a candidates specific positions as I do on how they respond to questions, and ALL their opposers. That's not only the other Dem candidates, but the Pubs who are taking pot shots too.

NOTHING angered me more than Kerry's lack of strong responses to his opposition when HE was the candidate!

Watch and listen to each candidate now. Obama was smacked by Romney for his age appropriate sex education of all kids from K on. His response was defensive. Hillary was attacked by the DOJ, and HER response was ATTACK BACK! And she's winning this one!

I really like Edwards, but he's TOO NICE! I'm afraid he won't have a STRONG attack back on his PUB opponent...whoever it might be!

We need a fighter! Someone who can smack an opponent down with one swift weild of the sword! To me, the only one who can do that is Hillary!

8. Her web site is down right now

www.hillaryclinton.com

It says they are updating it, I went there to see what she had there under issues.

I think she isn't running on one particular issue or theme yet, that might change later. It's still early.

9. Hillary's Position

Next to Bill.

[thatsrightimirish]

10. I'm an undecided

But a reason why she is appealing is because she has been in the white house for eight years already so she knows the pressures and responsibilities on pretty much a first hand basis on what the Presidency will be like.

13. Welll...

...as son of a former President, so was GW, but that didn't do much for us. But, in contrast, I'm pretty sure Hillary didn't spend here years in the White House doing coke and drilling dry holes in the ground.

[jmp]

26. I think "W" ...

spent his dad's 4 years as President playing Scrabble with Dan Quayle. ;)


That right there is a SNL skit waiting to happen.

[Dawgs]

14. You're kidding right?

Would W's Mom be a good President, or his wife.

Come on people.

[Alamom]

17. Continued comparisons of these 3 women is idiocy. eom

[Dawgs]

22. I agree.

And stating that time in the White House is the best Hillary can offer is even more idiotic.

[Evergreen Emerald]

19. why are you discounting all of her experience and criteria that would make her a great president?

You are reducing her to a "wife." She is a Senator. She was a learned attorney--top in her class. She has more experience in government than Obama, better grades than Biden, more intelligence that Richardson and Dodd put together.

[Dawgs]

21. I'm not.

I'm questioning the answer the poster gave to the original question. I'm surprised that this is the best they got.

[lvx35]

12. She doesn't have a super power, she's Charles Xavier.

she's playing up her pre-existing front runner status by not having a defining issue, to look like she's above them. I think it could work too.

[Dawgs]

15. Are you serious?

You don't know, so you made up one. That's priceless.

I think I'm learning a lot here.

[lvx35]

23. Yes, I'm serious. Hillary Clinton is Charles Xavier. nt.

20. Hillary's issue?

How about Bill's third term.

That's all I can think of.

[LWolf]

24. Hillary:

Achieving long term personal goal while putting the dlc in the WH.

Kucinich? Try: End war, healthcare, impeach, end NAFTA.

25. Time to put a grown up back in the White House.

:P

[BeyondGeography]

27. The centerpiece of her narrative was clear at the debate Monday

Hit the ground running, ready to lead, experienced.

[Jillian]

28. That description sounds more like Biden, Richardson or Dodd nt
