Ok well anywho...the reason I'm not fond of Clinton is that she's part of the old boys network in washington and I've never really been alright with the glad-handing that goes on there.

People call that "experience" but I'm fairly certain that state government has a monopoly on ****ing me blind. I don't need washington to pull that same hogwash.

I don't disagree with her stance on the war or healthcare, but its her stance in politics thats especially trying. I was never a fan of NAFTA, and yes I realize that she isn't Bill Clinton, but thats another I have with Hillary, she's the most nimble of the "flip-floppers" to date. This isn't limited to her midcampaign change up but her ability to pull the "not a washington insider/washington experienced" BS.

For example, one of the reasons people love her is that she served as a politically prominent first lady with her husband, but on issues that people took umbrage "she had no hand in actual legislation."

Not to mention that she openly says she accepts money from lobbyists and while this isn't a huge issue, campaigned actively in Michigan prior to the NH primary.
