... Europeans, this is her official platform, since you asked. (try to be more helpful, guys. These Euros don't get bombarded with this stuff like we do and probably don't much care anyway)
>
The following provides an outline of Clinton's platform for her campaign for the 2008 presidency.
Abortion
1. Respect the rulings of Roe vs. Wade, but make adoptions to the ruling possible
2. The right to choice must constitutionally be safeguarded.
3. Late term abortions should be legal only when the mother's life or health is at risk.
4. Support for parental notice of teen pregnancy and family planning programs.
5. Supports expansion of embryonic stem cell research.
6. Believes in reaching out to teens in order to reduce teen pregnancy through funding of sexual education and providing contraceptives.
7. In summation, abortion should be kept legal, safe and rare.
Budget & Economy
1. Protection of the next generation through paying off the United States debt.
2. Reduction of outsourcing-bring more jobs back home.
3. Reduction of taxes within a balanced budget.
4. No history of support for reduction of federal spending.
Civil Rights
1. Supports rights being provided to gays in domestic partnerships.
2. Military service should be based on conduct, not sexual orientation. (Pro-Gay rights)
3. Reduction of prostitution is a major concern.
4. Emphasis on women's rights being interchangeable with human rights.
5. An apology for slavery is due, but there should be more focus on changes to civil rights in the present.
Crime
1. Supports the "Three Strikes" rule and the construction of more prisons.
2. Supports increased funding and stricter sentences for hate crimes.
3. Supports requiring DNA testing for federal executions.

... Sadly, a lot of folks just hate Hillary because she's Hillary. That is to say, they're not sure why. Let me list a few items explaining why I dislike this woman (as a candidate AND as a person).
1. Her campaign vs Obama has been termed by the media, "Experience vs New Direction" (new direction being Obama, experience being Hillary). This woman has led a nation of Democrats to believe that she is the "Experience" option when in fact she has none. It's crazy. She's a 1-term senator (as is Obama) from New York... and she isn't even from New York! (she scammed New Yorkers as well, obviously). The extent of her experience is being the wife of a Governor, then wife of a President.
2. If this woman were not the wife of Bill Clinton, does anybody believe she would have been elected a NY senator? Could she have the slightest hope of running for President of the United States? No way in hell. This woman is entirely defined by, and is where she is only because of who she married. She has zero accomplishments.
3. I'm not stupid enough to believe that most politicians aren't manipulative and sly, but Hillary takes these precepts to their limits. Already, several plants have been uncovered in her debates, placed in the audiences by her staff to ask her spot-on questions.
Another face of this is the announcement from her campaign that they have some very dirty laundry on Obama, but won't share it, since that would be too low and crass, and Republican-like. .... This makes Americans wonder what exactly it is Obama is hiding... and they begin to doubt the man... And in the end this, too was revealed as a fabrication by Hillary Clinton's staffers.
> Notice, it's always her staffers doing this stuff, maintaining her deniability.
4. Hillary absolutely refuses to allow media access to her, unless it is all pre-set and arranged (with questions reviewed well ahead of time). This is probably pretty smart, as she knows she might be tripped up by a question she didn't see coming, but scripted interviews and debates reveal nothing about this woman.
5. Lastly (for me, anyway), Hillary is rather Leftist, but has America believeing she is Centrist Democrat (more deception). She is all for major tax increases and socialized medicine, etc... the usual left Dem themes. (some people like this stuff, and I respect that point of view, but it's not for me).
>> The worst thing about this is the fact that the US media is in love with this woman. People who like her will certainly disagree with me, but I want to hear of one instance when this woman was openly criticized across the media on American television the way Guliani has been for his record and his personal life (divorce, etc..), Romney for being Mormon, Thompson for being lackadaisical, etc... Even these revealed deceptions committed by Hillary's staffers only make the back pages, if at all. Thank God for the Internet.
