Why EXACLTLY should we trust a Clinton?

Question

I'm serious. I hear liberals embrace Bill without mentioning any of his wrongdoings. Hilary seems like some kind of robot to me with not a trace of humanity (same as Bush, come to think of it).

What is so great about the Clintons?

Answer 1

I don't trust the Clintons anymore than I do the Bushs.

Both families are completely beholden by special interest groups and should not be elected to anymore public offices.

Answer 2

Just to be up front, I am a Conservative.

I see two problems trusting Hillary.
1. I don't believe we can trust Hillary as a person. A former Clinton associate remarked that all politicians lie but the Clintons lie with such ease that it's scary! Hillary also has two other personal characteristics that make her a dangerous person. She has a massive anger problem and she likes to destroy opponents. When it comes to the politics of personal destruction, she and her husband have built the biggest and best political machine ever. She doesn't want to beat an opponent, she wants to destroy them politically, personally and financially. My last point about trusting her as a person is that she is all about image. Her image is more important than anything else. I want my candidate to have integrity. She doesn't.

2. I don't trust her as a good Presidential candidate. She is a Socialist. She stopped calling herself a Liberal and started calling herself a Progressive. It's all the same thing. Socialism. She wants to rule every aspect of our lives. She wants Big Government to control everything we do. Her health care program is a perfect example. Because of Hillary all but one of the American vaccine companies went out of business. Hillary forced price controls on the vaccine makers. Now we have one American vaccine company and one British company who can supply Americans with vaccines. Then she rants about not having enough vaccines available to the American people. It's her fault to begin with, she killed off almost all the American vaccine makers!

Hillary doesn't understand economics. She does understand class warfare techniques. Hillary will raise taxes. Hillary says that the current economic climate needs fixed. (She ignores the facts that the current economy is the best in history!) She fails to understand how taxes always destroy the economy by placing aftificial burdens on tax payers. It doesn't matter who is taxed, rich, poor or middle class, taxes kill the economy. Just as raising the minimum wage forced some companies to eliminate low wage jobs, new taxes take money out of the hands of the people who earned it. They can no longer spend it so they spend less. Government then spends that taxed income and does it poorly.

The more Hillary can control our earnings the more she can control our lives. No Thanks!

Socialism has never worked. The USSR, North Korea and China are all examples of countries where socialism has failed as an economic system. But Hillary would do it in a New York minute if she could. Sweden has a socialized health care system where Swedish citizens pay up to some crazy percent (just guessing here 70%) of their income to have socialized health care. That's crazy!

To sum it all up.
Hillary is not a good person nor does she understand the American economy. She doesn't respect the Americans rights to be individuals and make their own spending decisions.

Answer 3

Excellent question, we shouldn't.

Bill Clinton lied numerous times about situations and the state of affairs. Even his own personal life. Hilary probably won't be any better, many people believe she has always been against the war (which is a fact she tells everybody) when in fact, she voted for the war twice. People need to understand that a Hilary would do no better in the Oval Office than her husband...and would be far worse.

Answer 4

Why trust a Clinton?

Whitewater - wasn't their fault
Lewinsky - He didn't do it
Lying to the Supreme Court - He lost his bar and was impeached, big deal.
Letting Bin laden get away when he was hand fed to Bill - Awww, so what?
Hillary hasn't done a thing since being a Senator - So what?
Vince Foster - He's dead, who cares?
Jennifer Flowers - She swallowed and never wore a blue dress.
Paula Jones - Brunettes, you can't trust them!
Failed health care plan - She's working on it, give her time (been 12 years now)

Honestly, from a democratic viewpoint I can't think if one reason not to trust the Clinton's.

Answer 5

Clinton never should have lied under oath. He should have risen above the BS that the rep controlled congress was trying to do (trap him in a lie...ever wonder why Bush won;t let people testify under oath?) he should have trusted that the vast majority of us did not care that he had sex with that woman. There, i showed his wrongdoing. now, his entire tenure, taking a failed previous admin. and turning the economy around to create a surplus, reforming welfare, and starting the conversation on the need for healthcare reform is his legacy, a successful one at that, and WAY more to do with his tenure than who he did or didnt have sex with. I also don;t vote based on what a person 'looks like'. So attacking Hillary's looks is just plain juvenile. It is not a reason to trust or distrust anyone. Now, neither one of them is president, so I ask you...WHY SHOULD I TRUST BUSH!

Answer 6

During his presidency, there were accusations made almost daily against Clinton, 99% with no basis in fact. That hasn't prevented these so called scandals from becoming political urban legends.
You need to ask yourself why you hate the Clinton's so much. Was it because of things he actually did, or is because for 15 years you've been hearing Rush and the like accuse him of all manor of corruption.

Answer 7

why EXACTLY should we trust a politician. Clinton was not the first president to lie to the country and he wont be the last.

Answer 8

bill wasn't perfect- mainly his personal life.

but as a leader he did a great job. like any leader of course he made some mistakes. but overall he was a great president.
the economy was good
we did have any major wars (we did intervien in some conflicts but the death toll of soldiers was very low and we weren't starting the war- we were trying to save people during a war)
crime has stayed pretty stable through all 3 of the last presidents
he was a champion for civil right (I wasn't okay with him starting/embracing the don't ask, don't tell policy. but as I said he wasn't perfect)

he also obeyed the constitution and kept all of our allies on our side

I don't really care for hilary. she is better than any of the republican candidates, but there are better democratic candidates than her

Answer 9

Based on past performance, neither of the Clintons should never be trusted again, and this has nothing to do with extra-marital trysts.

Answer 10

Hillary is wonderful.

She would make a great president.

She has the human quality of being able to forgive, which conservatives lack.

I wish she was single.

I really love her!
