Hillary Runs in To Trouble





A recent news story talks about Hillary's newest ads, and how she is dealing with the issues of trying to find voters. What is shocking about this ad is that it shows exactly what very few democrats would want in a typical campaign. This ad is similar to that that George Bush the former ran in his race, simply put the ad looks towards the female demographic, and the republican. I realize that this is not on topic but heres why. If you got to Hillary' Clinton's website, which is adeptly titled hillaryclinton.com you realize that she really has no stand on the issues. There isn't anything there on Habeas Corpus or how it has been gotten rid of in the past few years. Again nothing on the death penalty, or issues on gun control. All of these important constitutional issues that are very likely to come up in the next presidential term, are not present on her website. Why is this?

It is incredible to be that Obama's website is very similar, these issues seem void from the public eye, are we really making the right decision. As another important primary arrives, the polls closing in just under two hours at time of post, it amazes me that candidates still have not set a completely and totally clear view as to where precisely they stand on these issues.

The fact of that matter is this, Clinton if she wants to stay in the campaign must win this evening, she must start showing America that there is more to her then just a face, and some claims of experience. Issues need to be addressed, and they need to be available to the public, on a regular basis not hidden away on outside websites. America is going to want a change in the office this year, possible a member of the democratic party, but if this is going to happen, then first both candidates need to step it up, and make a stand for what they believe in. they can start by displaying it on there personal websites.
