What Kind of Person is Hillary?

[Blair]

I am a socialist...I voted for Romney in 2012,

Also guys don't be naive-the whole 'the secret service must hate her, she must be evil is bollocks' I spend 5 years or so at school with people, seeing them everyday and it would be easy to find 4-5 people who had a bad view of me-does that make me a bad person?

The Secret Service claims mostly come from Ronald Kesslers book which was basically Republcians good, demcrats bad. Considering the Secret Service for Clinton are widely rumored, and did in fact cover up his womanizing you can't blame HRC for not loving them

She opposed DADT as early as 2007

What brave leadership! Bernie, along with about half of Democrats voted against it in 1993.

Indeed, Bernie has a very good record on LGBT rights. I was making no claims to the contrary, merely attempting to do away with this notion that Hillary has a somehow more questionable record on civil rights for LGBT Americans than other Democrats. Her opposition to DADT in fact began as early as November 1999 when she ran for the United States Senate.

So combined with what others have said above about her 2004 speech in the Senate, and the rest of her record on LGBT rights, I see no reason why I, as an LGBT American, should have to defend my support of Hillary Clinton because of her supposedly questionable record.

She was an opponent of SSM until 2013, and had spoken in opposition to SSM. It wasn't just for some 2004 vote that she still opposed it over 8 years later. Bernie never opposed SSMl.

And there was this.

Obama opposed it until 2013.

As someone from the LGBT community it isn't about who was the first to support gay marriage-it's about who will be the the most effective in the next 8 years at getting congress to actually address real issues facing the LGBT community. Hillary, much like Obama is a politician
