[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a moderate who thinks differently.  Clinton has the skills, but she also has an  incredible lack of integrity.  She has proven for 30 years that she will do whatever she wants, whenever she wants, will ignore laws, will ignore ethics standards and will lie to cover up what she has done.  Expediency and personal gain (usually political) are her only guidelines.  While a person like this can operate as a senator or cabinet member like Secretary of State, such a person should not serve as the President.  [/quote]
I'm the other moderate.  I think you've been snookered by the anti-Clinton media messaging.  She certainly has her own political warts and missteps, just like any other politician, but saddling her with lines like "incredible lack of integrity" is the sort of vague whisper attack that gets us nowhere IMHO.[/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to, and no, I don't think I've been snookered.  I've been a voting american for over 30 years and have watched the various Clinton scandals unfold each time.  Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, and the email controversy.  Throughout her career she has consistently exhibited a case of apathy towards the law and ethics practices.  And while there are other candidates who have had one or two missteps and mistakes, she has significantly more questionable actions and events in her career than just about any two other candidates out there.

I also think, as I mentioned, that there are still many offices and political jobs that she can hold with those issues, one's where there is more oversight of ethical misconduct, but the Presidency is job that I think is too hard to pin down and that her lack of integrity will be a huge impediment to getting the job done.  I think her ghosts and her way of doing business will be a huge hindrance to performing the presidential duties and would detract from her being an effective president.  She would be spending more time responding and spinning her story than she would doing the work.  We need a candidate with a lot less political baggage than this.[/quote]
