Mrs. Clinton is a socialist. I am conservative. She does not show anywhere that she believes in the free market, for anyone...other than Bill and herself.

These people calling Clinton socialist and communist have yet to convince me. The Clintons are very pro business, in fact Bill's economic practices were much more conservative than Bush. Hillary used to sit on the board at Wal-Mart, the most cut throat of capitalist ventures these days. She has a view on taxes that traditional republicans disagree with but that hardly makes her a socialist. Her healthcare and education ideas are more socialst than capitalist, but I think helathcare and education should be treated differently than competitive business. However private schooling seems to produce better results than public schools.
My own ideas of government are libertarian. I think the government is too big and should stay out of our lives. The states should have more power. The Federal government is overbearing.

She is stalinistic and socialistic and a master propagandist. I support republican candidates not because I like them but because they are the lessor of two evils.
My view of government is their are some things that the feds are supposed to do based on the piece of paper thingy there, you know the Constitution. I am not opposed to safety nets but I am opposed to cradle to grave entitlements. I think if FDR was alive he would be disappointed at what his SS program has been turned into. Health insurance premiums vary wildly from state to stat because of ridiculous mandates that states like mine (VT) or NJ and others place on them while other states are more free market. Allow us to buy across state lines and see how many more Americans get insurance and can afford it.
And what is up with offering every baby born a $5,000 bond that totals about $21 billion a year in new taxes???
I forget the quote but there is something about democracies only lasting until people decide they can vote themselve largesse... Anyone remember what it is?

Depends on who she is speaking to. She changes every aspect of herself to suit her purposes. Since she is running as a demoncrat, she seems to be very socialistic on the surface. Just look at her social health care idea. I’m sure though, that if she was talking to a specific group that was better off in life, she would flip away from her socialist ways for the duration of the speech.

I think you are confused.
Capitalism is an economic system in which the means of production are all or mostly privately owned and operated.
Socialism is a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to control by the community for the purposes of increasing social and economic equality and cooperation.
I've never heard Hillary extort socialistic views. I think a label more fitting for her would be an old school Goldwater conservative.

Are you serious? That's like asking is Elton John more homosexual or heterosexual. Hillary is a socialist pig who believes in big governement.
I believe in capitalism and small government, as did the founding fathers of this country and the authors of the Constitution.

She appears to be a socialist. I heard on the radio that she wants to raise taxes to pay for her health care idea. I won't be voting for her.

She's fooling a bunch of people. She speaks in a socialist's tongue, but at the same time has sold her heart and soul to special interests, corporate conglomerates and people like George Soros. China will profit, as will Mexico.
We'll pay dearly. :) It's called Fascism!

Socialistic pressing hard on communistic. She would have the entire world in a working class, all just at the poverty level with her as queen.
