When I say arguments I mean actuall arguments. Not something like "I sure hope she's not going to be president" or "Because any smart person wouldn't vote for her."

I respect her for her service as a senator and for her time as First Lady.
I will not vote for her because, although I am a democrat, I am not a socialist, and my experience with both her words and actions indicate to me that she is much more socialist than I believe our economic structure can tolerate.
I also will not vote for someone who calls our representatives names, spreads unfounded rumors, or treats people as "guilty until proved innocent".
These are the same behaviors used against President Clinton.
It was contemptible, then. It's contemptible now against President Bush. I will continue to defend both (all) against such "playground" behaviors, as well as sedition, while encouraging patriotic disagreement, dissent, and protest.

I don't like her funding sources. Her campaign is being funded by the same people that have done such a great job of lobbying in the halls of Congress & the Senate! People think that because she has so much money at her disposal, she must be the favorite. Yes, the favorite of the military industial complex, big business & the wealthy! She voted for the Iraq war, even when they all knew it was a lie about Iraq having WMDs, then she & Obama voted to keep the troops in Iraq in a late night vote; now she is saying "bring the troops home"! What does she really have in mind? Guess its what ever she feels will get her votes, not necessarily what she will actually do if elected! As for Socialized Medicine, she has never said one word to indicate that she is pushing for that. All she wants to do is make sure that the poor & lower middle class have a chance to obtain the medical care they need but connot afford. I wish she had been more up front from the start of her campaign!

Hillary Clinton is not someone who has the experience she needs to deal with foreign affairs. She has made mistakes in the past and has insulted some of our allies by her actions when she gave support to enemy nations. She has come up with some really bad ideas pertaining to our health care. She favors more of a socialist type of plan and that would be very dangerous for our Country. She has been involved in some major scandals, (White Water & Vince Foster) and I am not too thrilled with that. Remember the missing papers with her finger prints on them and how they mysteriously reappeared after having disappeared for such a long time?? She was involved in some shady business and there was a cover up involved, not in one case but in many. She has never liked the military; banning them from the White House and from wearing uniforms in her presence; then lying about that fact. Banished the Secret Service from the White House, as well. (Look up the records and see for yourself.) She has continually said that she supports the troops while voting down the money needed to get them the equipment required for their safety (check those records, too). When she gives a speech, she changes her opinions with the polls; one day she says one thing; the next day she changes her mind. She screams like a shrew when she is delivering a speech and is very unprofessional. The way she talked to General Petraeus was an absolute insult and disgrace. He is a hero; a Four Star General who she actually supported until she changed her mind (as is often the case). Hillary Clinton is a disaster waiting to happen. I hope that she will not be elected. If she is, be prepared for misery!

Hillary Clinton is a phony opportunist. She never was from New York yet moved there to take advantage of an election. Her stance on issues change with the prevailing winds of popularity. Hillary backed the lie-based war in Iraq for years after the poor judgment vote she refuses to apologize for making. After enough Americans spoke out against Bush's failed policies in Iraq, Hillary joined the chorus a few months prior to entering the race for the presidency. Hillary is corrupt and disingenuous as they come.
As with all amoral people, Hillary will make bad decisions based on what she believes is the most popular and expedient thing to do at any given time. I'm fed up with experimenting with the White House and/or voting for someone because its hip or because people want to have a beer with the candidate.

She has a poor labor track record compared to other Democrats. Most campaign financing for Democrats comes from organized labor. Her campaign coordinator is head of a union-busting PR firm, which, when made public, the heads of UNITE-HERE and the Teamsters merely sent a meek letter. She will probably receive very few union endorsements.
She often touts her "experience," but I feel like there is a fine line between practical experience, which can be used to get what you want, and thinking too much "inside the box." America doesn't need to be boxed up.
These are principle reasons for opposing her in the primaries.

She is buying votes with entitlements. Entitlements have shown that they create anger in all sides.
The entitled never receive enough according to them, after all they are entitled. Later on they discover if they deside to work their way off the dole, the is a large mote around being entitled.
The people footing the bill are also angery, they had no choise in having the funds extorted from them. Many feel they have been forced to do what the entitled have chosen not to.

The success of Bill Clinton's presidency, both financially (even though he did that with the help and guidance of Newt Gingrich, the best money man Washington ever had) and in popularity is a major fly in the ointment for the Republicans and will be that way for a long time. That's why they will still keep hysterically attacking him until the end of time (along with JFK???WTF???)
Republicans failures financially and in popularity polls throw into glaring relief what a good president Clinton was, and they know it.
That's why the attacks made on John Kerry by Republicans will look like a church social if Hillary ever gets the nomination.

She is a flip flopper. For instance, she voted for America to go to Iraq, but yet she is leading the democrats in the voice to bring the trrops home. She blasted and smeared an American hero (which I think is criminal) in General Petraus (sp??). She accepts illegal donations, she is a socialist by nature, she has no stance on anything important. She only says what people want to hear, and she has surrounded herself with a bunch of bozos!!

1) Too many quasi-scandals involving her, campaign money, etc. None of come to fruition, leading to an indictment, but I don't believe that she is 100% innocent either. If anything, she is very smart and knows how to get herself out of trouble (same with Bill).
2) Since 1980 either a "Bush" or a "Clinton" has run for President. Its past time for new blood.

She already broke way too many historical pieces of dinnerware in the White House. Leave the rest intact.
