We know Obama and Hillary differ wildly stylistically, but how are her proposals and stances on the issues better than Obama's?

The only known difference is that Hillary wants to require everyone to have insurance, Obama wants to require children to have it only. Both ideas are very un-american.

Did you just call Obama unpatriotic? Uh oh.

Hillary's now saying it's a Constitutional right. Aside from this one issue, they're pretty much the same. It's a personality choice.

Please, like you really care? You just started a thread claiming that Hillary is mentally ill and now you're supposedly wondering about her stand on the issues? In the words of the Monty Python writers, "pull the other one!"

ooh no.. I didnt call a politicain unpatriotic did I? (why is pink the only color for that one? mm, its a conspiracy I tell ya).

I must have missed that part in the constitution where medical care is a right, but food, heat, even water, the necessaries to live, are not one.

They're virtually identical, but key issues where they differ...

She's pro-censorship, and supported the joke that is the NCLB. A combination that = FAIL!

So I started this thread yesterday minutes after this one:
//www.city-data.com/forum/2008-...y-bipolar.html
It got over 50 responses, started a pretty good fight and was cut off by the mods- sorry. You can't control the boulder once it starts rolling down hill.

The question of Where does Hillary differ from Obama on the issues? , a serious question that voters would hopefully be interested in, didn't quite seem to get the traction that an admittedly less-relevant, yet sensational question did.

Hmmm...

I think this says a lot about what gets attention and discussion with people.

What do you think? Are there any Hillary supporters that can explain policy or issue differences between the candidates? Does it really matter?

She is only a Socialist while Obama is pretty much a pinko liberal Communist.

Her speeches pretty much suck while Obama's are well-delivered.... but she knows her facts, has concrete ideas on how to handle issues while Obama has no clue.

Hillary does not want to weaken the US overseas so it "won't be so heated" while Obama openly wants to weaken the USA per Geroge Soros' instructions.

Obama wants United Nations taxes on Americans. Hillary just want to tax Americans internally.

Obama wants World Government and things like that while I believe Hillary wants to maintain US sovereignty.

Obama wants to have cookies and tea with Iranian terrorists, meet with Raul Castro and open up relations with all sorts of tyranical dictatorships around the world where Hillary won't.

Obama wants the US to be overtaxed to fund "poverty programs" overseas... Hillary will probably maintain the current US foreign aid programs as they are (which are very high already, mind you).

Obama would ban all guns if he could. Hillary wouldn't.

Obama supports splitting Israel. Hillary doesn't. Obama: Dividing Israel doesn't make me anti-Israel

Hillary believes the Iranian army is a terrorist organization. Obama was in the bathroom when they took that vote. I've not read much about Obama and terrorism. Where does he stand on it?
