Despite the complexity I DO want a leader who can find a solution that makes sense and can be explained. Spitzer is trying, yet Hillary can’t explain it or whether she supports it. Where’s her leadership skill?

Hillary Clinton — Following Leaders ever since she was a Goldwater Girl!

“She likes to look into the complexities of issues and express all sides. To me, that’s an admirable trait.”

Really? To me thats called being a purely political animal with no personal integrity. Shes doing exactly what her opponents accuse her of; refusing to take a stand on any issue, and playing pure politics.

The biggest sign that she is neither a feminist or really a person at all is that her team constantly plays the woman card over and over and over and over. ‘Oh, the poor girl is getting picked on by the boys!’
And you call yourself a feminist? she’s just taking chauvanistic principles and using them to her advantage. She uses every dirty trick she can come by. She supports war. Don’t vote for her for crying out loud.

Why has the liberal base of the party abandoned liberal priciples when it comes to hillary? its mind boggling. Kiss my ass goodby i wont be back here, sorry larry, maybe i’ll read you on Pat Lang’s blog from time to time….

And the irony is, I think if conservatives & independents can get past the media image of HRC the SocialistFeminaziDemon they will find much to agree with in her policies. She is a centrist. I’m not, but the majority of Americans are. It’s just that the rightwing discourse has managed to push centrist notions into the wilds of the looney left.

If I’m not mistaken, Ken you just excoriated the American media for attempting to do just that.

John Edwards’ remarks that the American people want “simple” answers are insulting to the American people!

I totally disagree.

Way too many American people are completely out of practice of even considering anything complex. They want one factor to blame for any troubles and one simple solution. (How else could those millions have voted for a simpleton like George W. Bush?)

Yes, the issues are complex, require complex analysis, and will need complex solutions. And that won’t sell. Consider the level of newspaper writing. Consider the level of popular TV shows. Consider the level of the writing and reporting on network television news programs. Consider the millions of Americans who don’t understand the complex military situation in Iraq…complexity of TWO very separate actions…invasion followed by occupation. Include Donald Rumsfeld among the millions of those who aren’t able to grasp this concept.

We need leadership that can distill complex problems into simple things for people to understand. We need leadership to find the complex solutions and sell them to the people one item at a time.
