Is this the real reason Hillary Clinton is losing?

Everytime I hear Hillary Clinton give a speech, she keeps talking about "rolling up our sleeves" and "getting back to work." Doesn't she realize that she's talking to a boat-load of liberals? People who believe in having the freedom to earn what you want and keep what you earn already voted Republican. I get the feeling that the majority of democrats would rather have handouts than actually have to earn anything. Is it any surprise that working-class folk aren't supporting Obama? His socialist agenda will ensure that nobody has to earn anything ever again, not when they can steal it from the rich who earned their fortunes. It's no wonder college students are supporting his a.s.s, I am sure many of them would rather have a free education than work their way through college like I did.

I think Hillary's message is good, but she's preaching to the wrong crowd. She needs to go independent if she really wants to win folks who actually understand the value of an honest day's work.

    She is losing because she is unlikable and untrustworthy. While her opponent is likable and, in comparison, trustworthy.

    Every poll in the nation has said that for months now. It is not a mystery as to why she is losing.

    Throughout this campaign all she has done was reinforce that opinion of her. She continually did the exact opposite of what she should have done. She now has FAR more people that dislike her than she has ever had before (and they are Democrats!) It is by far the worst campaign ever ran in American history.

    What Hillary is an honorary member of the "Good Ole Boy's Club." She will go to the convention with forty present of the delegates and that spells power. She will have a lot of say on rule changes and party platform. The DNC will seat F&M.

    No candidate has ever gone third party and survived politically. She has too much to lose. She is still a party matriark and certainly will hold Obama's feet for the fire. She will run again in 2012 I'd bet. If that is her plan she will do better not to accept VP.

    No one believes that about Hillary ever working hard. She has lived in public housing for half her life.

    She is talking down to her supporters, you know the hard working white ones that go to the rallys? There are no Obama supporters listening to what she has to say. They are the white, hard working blue collar workers she mentioned the other day. Few of them have actually made a fortune to have stolen ayway.

    It is the rich liberal class who are for Barack Obama. Without their support he wouldn't have made it this far.

    Hillary is preaching to the right crowd, her problem is she just can't convince anyone else to believe her. Her best chances would be to go after McCains base of support. There she can find a treasure trove of uneducated, hard working, white voters.

    While I don't agree with everything you've stated I do think that Hillary would be the best President for ALL the people. As to the college kids, they're not going Obama due to a free education they're going for Obama in the same way that the students of the 60's went into demonstrating. It's the COOL way to go! It makes them feel empowered and part of an exciting thing.

    You're probably right in that Hillary is more moderate so it was difficult for her to beat a far-left liberal in the primaries. That's how primaries are, only the freakishly off-center people vote in them. Especially caucuses, and look at who won all those.

    what r u referring to?

  • 1 decade ago

    Mr. Divine fellow you must be one of the 1% of rich people who love getting tax breaks for nothing..... I would love to inherit my parents business and be set for life because of it. How many totally wealthy billionaires actually have college degrees... How about how many can actually say they have been poor and worked their way to the top. Zip.. So Mr. Republican who worked his way through college.. Guess what a million others have too.... Financial aid helps those who were not born with silver spoons in their mouth. I for one graduated from CSLA with a BSN in nursing. Guess what I had to work, guess what else, I got financial aid, and worked.. This is the big one Mr. Divine I LOVE OBAMA AND I AM DEMOCRAT.... SO TAKE YOUR BOLGONA REPUBLICAN PITCH BACK TO MCCAIN, AND HILLARY BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE A JOINT TICKET....SINCE HILLARY IS AN UNDERCOVER REPUBLICAN ANYWAY. The real reason Hillary is losing is because she is full of BS. and Americans no it...finally.

    Really? You think only republicans are hard-working? Wow, where do you get that information? Do you not have any friends who are democrats? Do you tell them how you think they are lazy and you think they only want handouts?

    If you REALLY look at Obama's plan for education, you will find that he wants to help people like yourself pay their way through school by civil service, service ultimately being "work." Please, shut up.

    Source(s): A hard-working, paid my way through undergrad and grad school, democat....me!

    Your understanding of the Democratic electorate is strikingly wrong. You need to get more information about the country than is fed to you by Rush O'Hanniborough.

    Like Obama she is for a welfare state....I don't see the connection. Don't blame me for the coming problems of this great nation, I voted for Dr. Paul.
