If the Founding Fathers wouldn't agree with Hillary's views, why will people vote for her?

Question

Romare....I think it's essential to look at the principles which this country was founded upon and vote for the person who best matches those principles. Modern day America is far from where the founding fathers created it.

Answer 1

I do not know, but I am not voting for her.

Answer 2

The "founding fathers" is not a monolithic conservative think tank. The men who wrote our most treasured legal documents disagreed nearly as frequently as they agreed.

In fact, the nation's leaders were divided from the earliest days of this country into "Federalists" which proposed a strong national government and the "Anti-Federalists" who favored more of a "states rights" approach to the crafting the Constitution.

In short, there is a founding father that every one, conservative and liberal alike, can point to and claim as their own. Even Hillary can find support for her political philosophies in our early history.

And those that agree with those philosophies will vote for her.

Answer 3

Because our educational systems has failed to teach our citizens about history and what this country was based upon and stand for.

I bet most people could not tell you the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Probably never heard of The Federalist papers.

A 22 year old kid asked me the other day, ( I am not making this up!) "what does put your John Hancock here mean?". Now not only did it bother me that he did not know, but also that he did not know the story behind it.

An ignorant populus is easily swayed my friend.

And I am afraid that great oneliners are all people care about. I research the candidates, read books about them, both with a positive tilt and a negative tilt, but I am informed.

"when in the course of human events,. it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and suume among the powers of the earth, the Seperate and Dqual station of which the laws of nature, and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declair the causes which impel them to the seperation."

Governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the conseent of the governed..............."

someone s going to ask you what that is from and what does it men?

Sorry my friend~

Answer 4

The right wing talk show bozos keep repeating their nonsense mantra that Sen. Clinton is a 'socialist'. I guess that's better than a couple of years ago when they claimed she murderd Vince Foster. Can't you people see a swift-boat attack when it's happening right in front of you? There is exactly zero 'socialism' involved here. What is involved is character assassination. Just today Mark LaVine spent an entire segment of his 'show' blasting Clinton for things she couldn't possibly be accountable for. He called her Hillary 'rotten' Clinton and it got nastier from there on. Every single right wing talk show buzzard has engaged in this propaganda using almost the same words. Liddy, both father and son, Mike Reagan, Hannity, O'Reily, Lars Larson and Rush Limbough etc. No kiddin'...does that sound right to anyone? Ditto-heads are being sold a total load...maybe she should sue these guys..I know I would!

Answer 5

Because The Founding Fathers would despise traitor-bush for allowing terrorists to attack the USA and murder Americans on September 11th.

Answer 6

Hillary has nothing to offer.

Did you see that she is now stooping to buying votes? She wants to give $5000 in bonds to every newborn baby. This is an act of desperation, and she's doing it because she knows that she has too many things working against her in the general election.

Normally only 3rd world leaders try something as base and ignorant as this.

A presidential candidate worthy of the office would know that we use treasury bonds to regulate the economy, and flooding the markets with $20 billion in new bonds each year would send the value of the dollar spiraling down.

Answer 7

Their positions are well documented in their letters, speeches, and articles. Read the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers. Read the transcripts from the sessions recorded when creating the constitution. There is a lot of insight there.

Our founding fathers would not recognize their nation child. I think they would be shocked to learn what it as become.

Answer 8

That's a pretty big "if." We have no way of knowing what the founding fathers would have thought of Sen. Clinton's views. But, as a student of history, having read and studied in depth about most of our founders, I suspect that many of them would have found her to have a brilliant political mind, something they highly admired in each other. Thinking of the founders as they really were, and not what so many's fantasies of them have become, would help make this clearer. Good luck with that ;-).

Answer 9

The founding fathers probably would of not agreed with her views, but you have to understand that society is much more different, and its not about holding views of once it started, and our nation is ineed of some socialist views, so it can recover it self from the recession...

Answer 10

Your entire line of reasoning is fundamentally flawed.

The founding fathers also owned slaves and neglected to grant voting rights to women. They would also have thought that internal combustion engines were some kind of black magic.

Your analogy is irrelevant. The U.S. is today a product of a few hundred years of progress, based upon basic tenets of sound political theory which, thankfully, proved to be flexible enough to sustain our growth into a modern democracy.

Answer 11

the founding fathers would agree with very little of wha any of the current polititions are doing. people find reasons to vote for whoever they want and they dont care about anything else
