Default Re: Thoughts on why the Dems feel this is the year to put Hillary, Oba

She's a conniving populist in the worst way - not even strong enough to stand up for her supposedly liberal ideals. She's intelligent enough to obfuscate the issues to the least discriminating voters (the poor; the blog The Skeptical Optimist records lots of instances). She'll use the presidency for cronyism; lord knows Mr. Clinton did it before. And most importantly I'm not convinced she's going to keep taxes low, especially the capital gains taxes levied on hedge funds and private equity - the entities that make our capital markets so versatile. I used to be a liberal too, hell, my friends and I campaigned for Kerry after reading "The Working Poor". Then I went to college. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
