I have to admit, I'm
somewhat bewildered at the support Hillary Clinton has garnered. Of course I'm
equally baffled by Trump and Cruz supporters. But the Hillary Clinton
supporters seem completely willing to ignore her voting history as a Senator,
her corporate involvement history (you don't get to be on Walmart's board of
director's by being someone whose principles can't be bought), her history of
speaking for and accepting Wall Street money, (and she's continuing to accept
these moneys) her dismal record as Secretary of State (obviously, that is not
all on her). One of her largest PACs, Priorities USA Action, has raised $11.5
million for her in the last month. The PAC's biggest contributors? Wall Street
billionaires. This is less than a month from the PAC saying they were spending
no more money on the primaries. The PAC is led by Clinton's 2008 campaign
manager. Does anyone really believe that she is different now? What evidence do
we have of that? Until Sanders started making her sweat, her campaign platform
was basically maintain the status quo. To this day, her website is filled with
"I believe"s and "I'm against"s with out really fleshing
out ANY sort of economic OR foreign policy - except if you count "I will
continue the fight", which isn't very meaningful. She clearly has not
vowed to change anything. Does anyone really believe that things don't need to
change? THAT'S what bewilders me.
