I'm listening to Hillary on C-Span

[jillan]

She is hitting alot of my buttons - in a good way.

She is speaking to me.

Gawd - I never thought I would say that.

Am I going to support her? I don't know. But she is making alot of sense.
She is saying alot of the same things Biden said.

[annie1]

1. i like that she's talking...

about things that we do in our own lives about energy and the environment. and then tying it into policy.

[jillan]

4. I am an at-home caregiver for a family member

and she keeps talking about people like me that don't get paid but are saving the government so much money for taking care of someone at home, rather than sending them to a nursing home. It really touched me.

Plus what she said about Iraq. Almost word for word what Biden would say.

I am listening, I'm not committing.

[Cleita]

8. As a former at home caregiver to my husband for almost a

decade before he died, she understands what is happening. It's her solution that I don't like. It won't help care givers until the privatized middle men like HMOs and insurance carriers are removed from the equation and we move to single payer universal health care. She is unwilling to do this because she gets a good chunk of her financing from these same parasites.

[jillan]

She said she was instrumental in starting respite care.

I am going to have to do some research on that.

That is a huge plus for me....if it's true.

[goldcanyonaz]

2. She and Biden were always my favorites.

[avrdream]

3. Mine too. I was disappointed when Biden dropped out.

[Auntie Bush]

9. Ditto for me too!

[liberalnurse]

14. I'll piggy-back that!

I love both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. I would be pleased if Biden would go out and stump for Hillary Clinton.

[BootinUp]

5. Hillary is not Bill2

If dems just keep an open mind. I see that you are.

[annie1]

10. she's doing awesome right now on cspan. she's totally loose right now. and she's great.

[ronnykmarshall]

33. This is what she's good at.

I'm loving it!

[annie1]

34. yes. i emailed you btw. : )

[Cleita]

6. She seems to be connecting with a more populist message

recently and moving away from trying to get the swing votes. I think Iowa has taught her she isn't going to win the nomination by catering to the middle. She has to move to the left and promise us lefties what we want to win the primaries. If she gets the nomination, watch her move to the center again.

Personally, this is why I don't listen much to what they say but base my preferences on their past political actions and whom they are being financed by.

[jillan]

7. I know - and that is why it is going to take me awhile to pick my

second favorite candidate. I have major issues with her.

But she is speaking to me today.

[avrdream]

12. pirhana, even some of her supporters have issues with her.

It just depends on which issues are more important to each person. On the issues that count for me, I believe Clinton will do very well.

And I love when she speaks in a relaxed fashion - she comes across so much more on message than when she is trying to "preach".

[jillan]

13. Like I said, it's going to take me a while.

To me, I am choosing 2nd best.

[avrdream]

15. Fair enough.

At least you are being reasonable in your considerations.

[Bodhi BloodWave]

17. some of what she is saying sounds great i agree

Now if i could only figure out how she keeps tricking the mute button, i put that on while I'm doing stuff in the kitchen, and she has managed to get vocal 3 times now while i was in there

obviously joking on it being her doing but my mute commands have been deactivated o.O

[annie1]

29. and it's good that people have issues with their candidate. no one is going...

to have done everything you wanted them to do. :)

[Hieronymus]

16. Edwards has certainly had an effect by pushing the populist message ..

hasn't he?

[CTyankee]

27. Excellent point! You are right on with that!

Good for John Edwards. He is getting my vote on Super Tuesday.

[ronnykmarshall]

11. She's doing great!

Lifts my heart!

[MADem]

18. JESUS!!!!!! She just cleaned Bush's clock on stem cell and SCIENCE!!!

That was fantastic, that exchange.

[ronnykmarshall]

32. Loved it!

[MADem]

35. She's tremendously impressive. She's hitting every point, and hard. NT

[Sparkly]

19. Her answer about global warming was excellent, too. nt

[jillan]

20. Almost word for word as what Biden would say.

That is a huge plus to me.

[Sparkly]

21. Excellent answer on choice just now, too. nt

[Lucinda]

22. I'm glad your giving Hillary a listen

I was hoping Biden would hit in Iowa. He was my second choice. :(
There is a lot of good info at Hillary's website. I wish you well in making your choice. As much as I love politics, it sucks sometimes. It's agony to have to move away from your first choice.

Luc

[annie1]

23. Wow, her comment about abortion, that was wild...

she compared not having choice, to China having had forced sterilization and forced abortions and Russia forcing women to stay pregrant and following them around making sure they had the children. that was chilling.

[Rageneau]

24. She said that "Choice" -- though it has spiritual considerations -- is rooted in a RIGHT to Privacy.

I like that idea; that a woman's right to choose is rooted in a human being's right to him/herself.

Now, she's answering an energy question.

This is a very substantive Q&A.

[annie1]

30. i wish i could have this taped somehow. i'm going to see if cspan keeps this on their site.

[Vinca]

25. She sounded much like Edwards and Obama today. Imagine that. nt

[jillan]

26. They all do that.

When you follow a candidate and know their spiel, you really notice it when someone else steals from them.

Bidenites had alot of good laughs over that....plus a bit of anger.

[annie1]

28. they're all democrats. regardless of what people say about her here.

[ronnykmarshall]

31. I didn't know they had a copyright.

Oh my god she also used "Fired up"! I'm sure that will piss off people.

:eyes:

[Vinca]

36. Well, you all go batshit crazy when Edwards or Obama say something

that sounds "Hillaryish." Borrowing "fired up" is a little pathetic.

[ronnykmarshall]

38. I do?

Link please.

[Vinca]

39. Okay, you're excluded. I can't keep track of all the people trashing Obama. nt

[ronnykmarshall]

42. and I have the same problem with people trashing Hillary.

Actually I don't anymore. I've started my ignore feature for the first time ever on DU.

But thank you for correcting that statement.

[ronnykmarshall]

37. She starting to tear up

about the foster mom.

[mtnsnake]

40. Is she really? Tearing up is Part 3 of my secret 1-2-3 Formula for Hillary's comeback

[Sparkly]

43. I saw that and thought of you, mtnsnake!!

:hi:

[mtnsnake]

44. Thanks Sparkly!

Hopefully the Goddess of Peace will follow Parts One and Two, too :evilgrin:

[Catchawave]

41. First time I've seen her do Q&A's

I enjoyed her responses, very helpful. I've got to make it a point to catch more of these on Cspan :hi:
