How come the poll did not have any reasonable reasons?
Here'e mine:
Strengthening the Middle Class
America's middle class is under siege and ready for change. People are working harder and longer for less and less. For six long years, America's middle class and working families have been invisible to our president. When Hillary is in the White House, no American will be invisible to the president of the United States.
America's middle class is fine. America's middle class and working families have not been invisible to the current administration - that is flat out BS.
Providing Affordable and Accessible Health Care
Nearly 47 million Americans -- including 9 million children -- don't have health insurance. America is ready for universal health care. Hillary has the vision and the experience to make it a reality. This is a battle Hillary has fought before -- and she has the scars to prove it. She knows better than anyone how to fight and build the political support to get the job done.
Universal healthcare is a terrible idea. Perhaps I could advocate it for people under the age of 18, but I very much want to keep our medical system private and capitalist.
Ending the War in Iraq
America is ready for a leader who will end the war in Iraq. Hillary's roadmap out of Iraq, the Iraq Troop Protection and Reduction Act of 2007, is a plan to end the war before the next president takes the oath of office. But if the Bush administration won't end the war, as president and commander in chief, Hillary will.
BS. The war will be over when the Iraqis decide to step up. Leaving an unstable democracy to fend for itself is just plain wrong. It's tantamount to murder.
Promoting Energy Independence and Fighting Global Warming
The choices we make about energy touch nearly every aspect of our lives. Our economy, our national security, our health, and the future of our planet are all at stake as we make a choice between energy independence and dependence on foreign sources of oil. Hillary has proposed an Apollo Project-like program dedicated to achieving energy independence.
An Apollo Project-like program to achieve energy independence? Yea, right. How about some concrete ideas to achieve something TODAY.
Fulfilling Our Promises to Veterans
Hillary will ensure that all those who sacrifice on behalf of our country receive the help and care they need. They not only deserve our country's gratitude and support; they deserve the gold standard in health care and benefits when they return home. That is our most solemn obligation to those who have put their lives on the line for our country.
As opposed to what? This is pure rhetoric.
Supporting Parents and Caring for Children
America is ready for a president who fights for our children. From her first job out of law school at the Children's Defense Fund to her time as First Lady of Arkansas and of the United States to her service in the Senate, helping children has been at the center of Hillary's public life.
Helping children is at the center of her public life? C'mon. George Bush did more for poor children in education reform than Hillary ever will.
Restoring America's Standing in the World
The next president's most urgent task will be to restore America's standing in the world to promote our interests, ensure our security, and advance our values. America is stronger when we lead the world through alliances. As president, Hillary will lead by the words of the Declaration of Independence, which pledged "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind."
Wrong. The next president's most urgent task will be to combat terrorism, not to kiss international ass.
A Champion for Women
Hillary's historic statement in 1995 that "women's rights are human rights" still echoes worldwide. As a lawyer, advocate, First Lady, and senator, Hillary has fought for issues important to women here at home and around the world for decades. Hillary will continue her lifelong fight to ensure that all Americans are treated with respect and dignity.
Hahaha. And what, pray tell, did Hillary do when her own husband showed her the respect and dignity of getting a little assistant + cigar action in the Whitehouse? Nothing. She shut up and thought about her political career. Great example for women there!
Comprehensive Government Reform
Americans are ready for a government that puts competency ahead of cronyism. For the past six years, we've had an administration that has contempt for government. And because they view it with contempt, they treat it with contempt. We need a return to transparency and a system of checks and balances, and a 21st century government to meet our 21st century challenges.
Competency ahead of cronyism? Gee, I wonder where all of her cabinet will come from. Will she put a conservative judge on the supreme court if he/she is the most competant? NO WAY. Her plan includes "Creating a public service academy." Are you kidding me? A government run school to teach government people what to do? How convoluted is that?
Strengthening Our Democracy
Fair and honest elections are the bedrock of a successful democracy. Yet we have seen abuses in national elections since 2000 that have undermined our democracy and Americans' faith in our electoral system. Hillary is a leading champion of election reform. She has introduced the Count Every Vote Act to avoid repeating the problems of the past and ensure the integrity of our elections.
The act "Provides a paper trail for every vote cast.". No. I do not want a paper trail that leads back to me. Our vote is secret, and I want it kept that way.

I would not say that I hate her, but I disagree with her nearly across the board. The
only thing I agree with her on is that election day should be a national holiday.
