I've been thinking about what bothers me about Clinton and here's an example:
In 2008, Clinton declares she's opposed to gay marriage. Now it's 2016, and the majority of the American people are in favor of gay marriage. And guess what, Clinton is in favor of gay marriage. The battle has been won and now Mrs. Clinton proudly jumps on the barricade.
Now you may say this is just the reality of politics, but at some point you wonder what she really stands for except saying whatever it takes to maximize her vote count.
- MicroBerto 10y agoHillary's team states that she is still very opposed to gay marriage. She is simply lying now.
- burkaman 10y agoNo she doesn't. The chain of emails you're referring to makes it clear that Hillary still believes her support of DOMA was justified to prevent a constitutional amendment, not that she still believes gay marriage is wrong. There is no evidence to suggest she opposes it now, and a little evidence to suggest she was lying in 2008.
- MicroBerto 10y agoWell that's a fantastic way of interpreting the email thread and flipping my comments. During a debate in 2008, she said marriage was between a man and a woman. So no, she wasn't lying in 2008 -- nor did I ever imply such a thing -- that was likely her true sentiment. https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/2631#efmAdFAfY https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/2631#efmAdFAfY At this point, you literally don't know who is putting what into her mouth, or what she will really do once in office. That's an absolutely scary thing.
