    @ madamfauntleroy

    1. Her health care plan - 50%

    Most argue that Obama's plan is not much more different. Besides her Universal Health Care crashed and burned the first time around. She failed miserably

    At the time, she wasn't trying to pass true universal health care. In fact, no one could have passed it. There was too much opposition.

    Please demonstrate that Obama's plan is as inclusive as Clinton's. You can't. You have no evidence.

    2. The types of judges I think she will appoint to the supreme court who I believe would best protect Roe v. Wade - 20%

    Obama is more likely to appoint more liberal judges than Clinton now that she has morphed into Lieberman

    She has not morphed into Lieberman. By all accounts, Obama is personally closer to Lieberman than Clinton is. Moreover, I am not talking about liberal judges, rather I am talking about Roe v. Wade specifically, which is a long time feminist issue.

    3. Her greater experience on national issues (because her experience is not mere state legislature experience) - 10%

    Clinton has no experience on national issues save being in the White House as a cuckold to her philandering husband.

    I know your major issue seems to be that Bill Clinton cheated on Hillary. I think that reveals just how shallow your mind actually is. By national issues I mean all those issues dealt with in the Senate. Duh! Those happen to be national issues.

    4. Her past work on issues that affect children - 5%

    Marian and Peter Edelman who started the Children's Defense Fund distanced themselves from the Clinton administration as they began to coopt the policies of the GOP. The Edelmans now support Obama who they perceive as not opportunistic as the Clintons

    Issues pertaining to children are not confined to one organization. Clinton's work has benefited children on things that had nothing to do with CDF.

    5. The obvious sexism of many who oppose her - 5%

    There are equal numbers who are racist and will not vote for Obama, no matter what

    Evidence? Do you have evidence of anything or do you just spout? I am not talking about comparing numbers. I am talking about the obvious sexist comments of your buddies manos, tom payne, Villemar, david sugarman, dataguyx, and the Broadsheet trolls, etc. I have been politicized anew about feminism. You have your issues and I have mine. Is there something that you don't understand about that?

    6. Her good service and work on helping our military men and women and veterans - 5%

    She voted for the war and is responsible for the deaths of 4,039 of our best in Iraq.

    And now she is just as against the war as Obama and has a plan to end the war. When I hear her debate Obama on foreign policy, she is obviously his superior. I don't tend to dwell on past resentments. So many Obama supporters spend unnecessary time dwelling on past resentment. They are not practical and they are not realistic.

    7. Not because she is a woman, but because I am a woman - 4%

    Would you vote for Condi Rice or Margaret Thatcher?

    Allow me to ask this as politely as possible: Is English your second language? Go back and read what I said. I did not say that that 4% was because Hillary is woman but because I am. In other words, I am a feminist who supports feminist causes. Condi Rice and Margaret Thatcher are not my idea of feminists. Do you think all women are interchangeable?

    8. I am worried about what will emerge from the Rezko trial - 1%

    The Clinton's $109 mill windfall in less than a decade should cancel Rezko boondoggle that you keep repeating.

    One is a criminal matter and the other is just about making money. I don't happen to think that amassing wealth is in and of itself a crime. My uncle left me a nice piece of change. It made my life much better because now I don't have to worry each month about how I will pay the utility bills. Money is just a tool. Criminal matters could affect the outcome of the election in November. Also, please establish the last time I mentioned Rezko. I have not mentioned it in sometime, but it has been on my mind because of some new information which I read yesterday.

    Now madamfauntleroy, I think I shall go back to ignoring you, as you are on my ignore list. Rufus is interesting. You are boring.
