If, sad to ponder, the presidential election comes down to Hillary Clinton vs. a Republican, we’ll be left either way with a business-friendly neocon White House. Given Hillary’s past deceits and reversals, it’s easy to see why she doesn’t inspire trust among the American people.
1. Environment
“I won’t let anyone take us backward, deny our economy the benefits of harnessing a clean energy future, or force our children to endure the catastrophe that would result from unchecked climate change.” —Hillary Clinton, 11/29/15
Greenpeace estimates that the Clinton campaign has taken $4.5 million from fossil fuel lobbyists and donors, and Naomi Klein and Grist have reported on all the money received from ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips and other oil sources. In response, Hillary explained, rather incoherently, “I have money from people who work for fossil fuel companies. I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me.”
2. War
“Is there really any argument that America must remain a preeminent leader for peace and freedom..?” —Hillary Clinton, 10/31/06
