I'm not a fan of Obama, but Hillary is as bad, if not worse, than any Republican candidate. Her slandering, fear mongering, and election fixing are the only way she can win, so that is exactly what she will do. She doesn't give a damn about democracy, just her own ego.

This is why I will never vote for Hillary Clinton. She can't defeat her opponents by talking about the issues or her qualifications. So instead, she uses her surrogates like Bob Kerrey to spread false rumors about her rivals. I lost all respect for Kerrey when he repeated the lie about Obama being a Muslim. It's bad enough that too many Americans think all Muslims are terrorists, but for a presidential candidate to take advantage of that bigotry is beyond disgraceful. Hillary, a divider, not a uniter.
