So you don\u2019t like Hillary? She\u2019s too \u201ccrooked\u201d for you? The Donald\u2019s tabloidian designation of her has taken root in your mind and heart?<\/p>\n
Well, the only \u201ccrookedness\u201d I\u2019ve seen with her is an understandable excess of caution with regard to her privacy leading to the email server issue. Otherwise I\u2019ve seen a woman in public service all of her life. I\u2019ve seen a politician who basically shares most of my values and has made decisions that I agreed with, decisions I disagreed with, and decisions I\u2019ve changed my mind about just as she did.<\/p>\n
I was very opposed to the Iraq invasion and wish that it had not been authorized by Congress. But Hillary didn\u2019t lead the invasion. She reluctantly voted to allow Bush to take action once all international channels were exhausted. It was Bush who lied about WMD. It was Bush who disregarded the terms of Congress\u2019 authorization.<\/p>\n
And another thing: let\u2019s not forget that we would have had no Bush, no Iraq (and not dozens of other problems in the country and world) if Nader had not taken the votes necessary to elect Gore. Some of you who comment here are too young to understand what that means, but we older folks have seen this film already.<\/p>\n
There is hardly a Trump voter who will flip right now so this thing is entirely in our hands. If you like how the words \u201cTrump Administration\u201d sound and you feel that you\u2019ll enjoy the headline \u201cTrump appoints second Justice to the Supreme Court,\u201d then by all means vote for Jill Stein or stay home. Just don\u2019t say we didn\u2019t warn you.<\/p>\n
This is precisely what is meant when we say: \u201cThe only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people should do nothing.\u201d<\/strong> (Basically the same thing as staying home or voting Stein.)<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So you don\u2019t like Hillary?
