Why Americans don't like Hillary Clinton

Poll
Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Senator Clinton went on in New Hampshire to mock President Bush's "ownership society" idea, calling it the "own your own" society. Her ideal, she says, is the "we're all in it together" society.

This woman really hates freedom and has little appreciation that an ownership society and a "we're all in it together society" go hand in hand.

This was graphically shown in a book published last year, "Who Really Cares," by Professor Arthur Brooks of Syracuse University.

Professor Brooks studied in depth charitable giving patterns in America. His conclusions: religious Americans give four times as much as secular Americans, conservative households give 30 percent more than liberal households, and those who believe that government should redistribute income give one-fourth as much as those who do not believe this.

"We're all in it together America" is alive and well. I see it regularly as I travel around the country and speak in churches, at shelters, and in crisis pregnancy centers.

The point is that, as Professor Brooks' data bears out, Americans who care about their neighbors, who see their country and their lives as more than just about themselves, are the faithful, freedom loving Americans who believe in ownership and private property.

It's no wonder that Senator Clinton is not aware that this America exists. It's not where she hangs out.

The Clinton campaign is, not surprisingly, dismissing the new books about their candidate as ho-hum, and not bringing any new information to the table.

And I think they must be right. Americans are getting a pretty good sense of this woman just by listening to her.

Senator Clinton's negative ratings have been rising since her campaign began. Before she started, she logged in at 58 percent positive and 40 percent negative according to Gallup.

In the most recent Gallup poll, she came in at 45 percent positive and 51 percent negative.

Hillary
I don't like Hillary Clinton because she won't admit she made a mistake voting for the Iraq war. Emotional issues like Abortion and Gay Rights are ruining presidential campaigns. The last campaign that had fewer emotional issues was JFK Nixon. After that political campaigns have been avoiding real important issues such as our crumbling infrastructure, foreign policy without emotion. the economy without the blame game, education, health care without avoiding a solution, just saying the other side is wrong doesn't solve the problem. The result has been blackouts, a skyrocketing national debt, an endless war we can't figure out how to end, China taking over the world's economy and owning our IOU's, the president of Iraq rattling sabers, Radical Islam killing people all over the world and our leaders telling us, "Islam is peaceful.", Corporations stealing money, lying, cheating, and people trusting our future to Corporate America, and 60 percent of American students thinking it is all right to cheat thus ensuring the next generation of Enron type executives.

I Fear Hillary
Hillary promotes socialism for ordinary Americans while proving that there is a lot of money and power for her and others to be gained by merely repeating the politically-correct class-warfare mantras about poverty and the evil rich. There truly is at least one evil rich person, and she is the one. http://www.poorgrandchildren.com
