CNN Debate Shows Clinton Only Honest Candidate

Steven Tyler
After watching the You Tube debate on CNN, Hillary Clinton is by far one Democratic presidential candidate whom I feel is confident and truthful about being eye-to-eye with my community on issues such as education, healthcare, and many other important topics in this time in age.

Before getting to the importance of how she will affect communities like mine, I would first like to talk about how her honesty in this debate for her beliefs was so evident and so critical to helping out people in my area, as well as other areas. As the debate went on, it was very noticeable about how when the cameras focused on the candidates while you tube questions were being presented as well as while other candidates were speaking, the candidates would scuffle between pages and pages of research on their podium in order to back up their response to the current question being asked. Not once did Hillary have to do this.

Hillary is obviously very knowledgeable about what is going on, what has to be done, and what her own beliefs are. When the announcer asked Hillary a question and then another question about her response, Hillary was quick to answer. She did not need to think at all. She knew exactly what she wanted to say and was not trapped or left speechless or left mumbling like some of the other candidates, including John Edwards. She most definitely knows what she wants, and has the experience to conquer it to make our country and community better.

Now back to my community and how she will make it better. Will Hillary make my community any better? Most certainly. Unlike Obama who may be highly educated, he lacks the experience that Hillary has. Hillary mentioned in the debate about how she has been united for change for this country for 35 years and she worked to bring people together and stand ground. She will be united to bring communities together to work out their problems and make the communities better. As a proud modern progressive American, she strongly believes in individual rights for all citizens in the community and will work hard so that everyone can lead a productive life.

How else will she change the community? She will change the community greatly, especially when it comes to women and their equal rights. Though she is proud to be running as a woman and she may be able to "break the glass sealing for women", she does not want to win simply so that she can be the first woman president. Hillary strongly believes that she is the most qualified and experienced candidate. She will be the best person to be trusted for what is best for the American family. Americans need experience and leadership to solve problems in the community, nation, and away from home. Hillary has this experience.

Once Hillary is elected president, in her debate she mentioned how " it will send a great message to all little boys and girls" of the communities. There will no longer be stereotypes that only boys can end up being president. Everyone has an equal chance. She will work to raise minimum wage for women as well as fix poverty and health care since women are more affected in this area than men are.

Hillary has led the fight for women for quite a while now. Since 1995, she has been fighting to get the vote to raise the minimum wage before Congress can get a raise. That is how strongly she fights for the community. If the community does not get a raise, she does not want one either. After asked who she felt was the better advocate for women, it did not matter to her who was. To her, what mattered in the debate was that they were arguing over who represented women better. She quoted , "That is a good change." By this, she did not want to get any applause on her own behalf because she truly fights so hard for what she wants to achieve that she appreciates when others, like John Edwards join in the same fight.

Hillary Clinton is by far the greatest candidate to see eye-to-eye with residents in my area as well as the country and the world as a whole. God Bless and Good Luck to Hillary.

    Okay, I watched one part of the debate. What is dishonest about these statements: "...the time for us to ask how we were going to get out of Iraq was before we went in.." "...we can be as careful in getting out as we were careless in going in.."? They sound like a very honest statement of belief from someone who opposed to invading Iraq. Perhaps your choice of headline, your personal opinion, was intentionally misleading.

    She thinks the government has to make choices for the people because the people can not make choices for themselves. She believes the only way to make changes is with power and she is hot for the power of President. She may have learned her debating skills from her skillful deceitful husband, the impeached ex-Pres. I wonder why she is allowed to run at all. She is also among those that are guilty of being global "war criminals" by voting to violate the UN Charter and saying yes to the slaughter of innocent females and children in Iraq. Also wonder how honest she would be about "Media Matters" and her involvement with getting Don Imus fired. There is also that issue of her taking campaign contributions from business' in India, rather than sticking to US citizens help in getting her elected.

    It still amazed me last night how she kept making the assertion she wasn't pushing her womanhood as part of her pull to be elected, but her stance on women's issues and her fervor for the rights of women and girls and the end of gender stereotypes kept being an issue (well, unless she was talking about her plans for Iraq ...)

    I enjoyed your article, however your title is flawed. You cannot use the words "Clinton" and "honest" in the same sentence.
