Re: Hillary Clinton letters
The candidates who have not been wishy washy about their political views have been the dark horses, which is why they are being shunned by the media (the media, as we all know, are controlled and owned by big conglomerates). All the major candidates have to some degree (some more, some less) backpedaled on the issue of Iraq except for John McCain, and his standing is sinking faster than a lead balloon. If Fred Thompson is going to get into the race, he'd better act soon. I know his "exploratory committee" is disappointed by his fundraising last quarter.
All of the front running candidates say what they think the voters want to hear...until they are voted into office. At that point, many feel free to vote their conscience. That is the nature of national politics these days. The majority of the electorate is not being represented by people who express the will of their constituencies. True change would come if we had public financing of national elections, abolishment of the Electoral College and direct referendums (one person, one vote) on major policy issues. Hillary is a consummate politician...and she learned well, being married to one of the slickest politicians of all.
