    The Problem with Hillary

    Hillary Clinton said simultaneously Tuesday that she thought Johnson's comments were out of bounds and that she took him at his word when he offered his innocent explanation.

    This is the sort of thing that is why I cannot support Hillary. She tries to have it both ways, seemingly on everything. She says that she is "for the people" and then lets her campaign try to disenfranchise voters to help her win.

    Not only do I refuse to support her during the Democratic Primary, I am now considering if I can support her in the General.

    If she is going to only stand up and fight for the rights of those people who are supporting her, then how is she any different than those Republicans who disenfranchised african american voters in Ohio in 2004?
