Why Do You Hate Hillary Clinton?

For the longest time I could not stand Hillary Clinton and I was a big Barack Obama fan. But then I stopped and asked myself where these opinions were coming from. I came to realize I had no reason at all for disliking her but was in fact taking biased opinions and making them my own. Almost every time I watch a discussion on the democratic primaries or read about the nominees, I'm fed with this complete anti-Hillary garble. Almost every newspaper article with her picture shows her in mid sentence with her mouth wide opened and eyes half closed (cleary to give a demented image). While the other candidates are pictures are normal and obviously more appealing. It seems very clear to me that the media is trying to persuade the less informed voters that she's this terrible being that spits out nothing but nonsense. From eveything that I hear, Hillary Clinton is made out to be one of the most hated politicians in our country, but if that's true then why is she neck and neck with Barack Obama? She must be something right even though the media portrays her unfairly.

I also came to realize that even though I'm of aged and able to form my own opinions, I was instead making my parents thoughts my own. Even when I asked them why they hated Hillary they could not give me a concrete answer because they themselves didn't know a thing about her history or where she stands on the issues. And now that I've taken time to research and make my opinion, I'm proud the say I support Hillary Clinton. I think she's completely qualified for the job; she has worked to empower women throughout the world; she's ready to end the war in Iraq, she has a plan to help our environment; she's been a passionate advocate for providing greater educational opportunities to all children; and she's been fighting for universal health care since she was first lady.

If you're a supporter for Barack Obama, more power to ya! But if you're going to hate Hillary Clinton, then have the decency to research and find out the facts. If you do that and still dislike her, then that's cool with me, everybody is entitled to their own opinion and I will never disrespect that. You should do the same!
