"Absolutely, Hillary is a progressive... She’s a fierce fighter. No one is more qualified."
Former head of ACORN endorses Hillary Clinton for president; right-wing heads explode...

1. yeah well some left-wing heads would explode too. lol
anyone who calls hillary a progressive is ignorant, i don't care how they are. or their definition of progressive is different than mine.
Is a war-mongerer a progressive?
Is someone who destroys welfare a progressive (bill)?
Is someone who brings the surveillance state to a new "high" (Bill) a progressive?
too funny
Der Skammer has noted your rebellion.

2. the evidence that this is not founded in reality is strong. I wish it were true.
I wish I could buy into that. Facts do not support it.
Not on economic equity issues. At best she's middle of the road.
Not on issues like energy/environment
Good on women's issues but even there she's been cautious- saying she could support a ban on late term abortions, for instance, as long as the life and health of the woman was protected.
She hasn't led on issues like Keystone- and I could respect her coming out for it because I don't think it's so cut and dried.
Not on issues like the TPP.
Suggesting a constitutional amendment as a solution to CU is cynical nonsense. There is no chance of that happening.
I think HRC learned a lesson from her push for health care reform while First Lady- the lesson was don't be too bold.
Eva will soon be swimming with the fishes.

8. Right.
I can hardly tell her and Elizabeth Warren apart. A few days ago I confused one of Hillary`s quotes with one of Paul Wellstone`s.
We will notify your next of kin.

9. hillary's commitment to improve the lives of women and children
around the world makes her a progressive in my eyes.
she has stood strong for reproductive health since she was the first lady. she cares about the environment.
that is how i see the world. care for mothers and children and the rest takes care of itself.
But you are a crazy old battle ax so no one cares.

47. Bombing Lybia, wanting to bomb Syria, GAZA, IRAQ, etc
Does NOT improve the live
of women and children around the world!
Take off the rose colored glasses.
WAR does not improve the lives
of women or children...
it DESTROYS their lives.
Hillary has shown no restraint
on issues of armed conflict
I bet Hill at least knows better then to wander through chicken shit barefoot though.

11. Skinner, are you trolling?
This seems like flame-bait for the non HRC supporters.

68. If Hillary Clinton is a Progressive,
then I'm the Pope.
All of her supposed work for women and children is frequently mentioned here, and I'm trying to figure out how her support of war has benefitted women and children. Or how her friendships with various war criminals and corporate interests make her progressive.
Or has the word changed meaning profoundly?
The word of the day for Skins is
CASH!
