Subject: I was a Hiliary fan, now I don't trust her...

I'm not going to argue that Hillary Clinton is a paragon of virtue. She's playing hardball in a game 
so tough that I won't even play at the local level. What I'm going to ask you is, do you trust that 
she's playing to win? Do you trust that she'll never stand down from the fight as Gore and Kerry 
have done? Do you trust that she'd be a better president than ANY Republican on offer? 
 

There are many times a day that I find myself agreeing with Kurt Vonnegut, that there are two parties
in America: the Winners and the Losers. The Winners are further divided along the lines of Democrat
and Republican. We "Losers" have created these "Winners" and I don't see a passion for revolution 
amongst liberals and progressives, much less Independents and Republicans. We are going to have a 
choice in a few months to pick a Winner from a limited field of contenders. I'm going to pick the person 
I believe has the best chance of winning a landslide victory over the Republican in November 2008, 
and bringing along a veto-proof Congress on her/his coattails. Right now, that person is Hillary. 
And if that Congress is solidly progressive, her corporatist loyalties will be held in check.

Is she lefty enough for me? No. 
Is she too beholden to corporations and their agendas? Yes. 
Is she going to divert the nation from the disastrous course on which it is now set? 
Yes, I believe she will try to do that.

I also believe that she will root out the neocons and Republican deadenders who have infested
every agency of our government and replace them with competent civil servants. I believe she will 
appoint leaders who will better serve the interests of the American people at home and abroad. 

I believe she will make great strides to repair our reputation, and to take the initial steps to extricate us 
from war and promote peace. I trust her to do these things because it is in her self interest to do so - 
and I trust that she is very intersted in her legacy. Redemption along with revenge - that's what I'm
counting on Hillary to provide.

I also trust that she'll cut the balls off any opponent who tries to stop her. 
That's exactly what I'm looking for right now in a Democratic contender.

Hillary has already survived the worst the Republicans can throw at her, and she has a political genius
by her side - a partner of long standing with a proven track record of winning and defying the odds to 
lead America to 8 years of relative peace and prosperity. During the 90's there was much more that 
progressives could have done to throw dangerous Republicans out of Congress and local offices. 

But we were like happy little sheep, most of us, making money and learning how to use the internet. 
I include myself most of all in that description. I hope we've all grown up a little over the past 7 years 
and can balance our idealistic desires with a dose of cold hard reality. We need a winner, not a whiner.
Hillary never whines.

Warmest regards,
 Joanne
