Hillary Clinton - NY Times - Socialist?
Ms. Bielstein added, “I’ve followed her history back to her college days, and I just don’t trust her. I think she’s a socialist, and I think that’s exactly where she wants to take us.”This quote is from the 20 July 2007 article in the NYTimes.
If I could believe for a moment that that is "where she wants to take us", I would be behind her. But, I think she is so far in bed with corporate America that she won't even have that road on her map.
I don't think this is something to blame her for, because in the end all candidates are there to some degree--or will be. That is the real problem with elections and politics in this country. Until we fix that, there can be no such thing as an honest, unbought politican in a presidential race.
At the moment, Edwards may be the closest, but look at his money--the big money isn't with him, and won't be.
This state of affairs is responsible for the continuing apathy in American election--a truly embarrassing aspect of our democracy.
