Will this candidate ever go away? What is it about her that makes me fearful?
Is it because she's so damn unlikeable? I admit that that is unfair, because many people find me unlikeable, simply because I'm pretty ambitious. I like to win, I love winning, and I like fair play.
I think that it is perfectly acceptable for the Senator from New York to attack the Senator from Illinois. The substance of the attacks are what I consider troubling. Hillary Clinton does not seem to be alive to the fact that our country is in an economic depression (Wall Street is another thing). Hillary Clinton can use stories of struggling Americans to punch up her speeches, but does she really understand what it is like to have no money. Does she understand that there are children in America who eat only two meals daily, breakfast and lunch at school.
Does she truly understand that we would not have a financial health crisis if practically every dollar of Medicaid was not going to serve illegal aliens. Does she realize that if an uninsured working American takes a child to the hospital, that visit will put that family in debt because they cannot secure Medicaid? Does she realize that it is not that people do not want medical coverage, it is that thay sometimes cannot even afford the co-pay!!!
It is that bad.
Does she realize that companies are opting to export professional work to foreign countries- not because we do not have an able workforce here, but because many corporations seek to avoid paying a fair wage? Does she care, or is this run simply a mad dash for power?
For obvious reasons, I knew that she would take Ohio- it is obvious that they are not as concerned for their job losses as the rest of the country is. NAFTA is a big deal and it has caused a level of progressive shift away from the U.S. that will be difficult to rectify. To a large degree most Americans do not understand how the country works. They do not understand money, nor do they understand economic cause and effect. Many approach life with a guidebook from the crazy Right (note: this does not mean Republican) or from the crazy left.
With this approach, we have a country operating on the principles of 'anything goes'. This then leaves the rest of us jumping about and shouting 'no ,no, no, no!
With this backdrop we have a country teetering on the brink and the citizens think that 'everything is alright in America'.
