Yes, I'm Voting for Clinton

There are some of you out there who would never vote for Hillary Clinton mainly because you think she's a liberal, some because she's not a liberal, some because you believe that she's a liar, or corrupt, or that you "feel" that she's untrustworthy, or because of Benghazi or the email server or because she "rigged" the Democratic primaries & caucuses. Some of you don't like her because she stood up for her husband, or just don't like her husband - or maybe you think she had Vince Foster killed.

The political things I won't address in this article. If you have a principled stand against her politics (not a strawman version of her politics, but her actual politics), good for you, you're thinking before you vote. But if you're of the opinion that's she's the only politician that's every shaded the truth, prevaricated, attempted to divert attention or outright lied, you sir or madam, are living in a fantasy land where enlightened rulers make everything alright...all hail King Ellasar! (had to work in the Lord of the Rings reference). She makes speeches and gets paid for it; I'm not too worked up about that either - is she the first politician to ever do that? She vilified as being crooked and corrupt, yet nothing manages to stick. Some of you believe that that's evidence of a massive conspiracy to allow the Clinton's to get away with what no one else could get away with, despite the seemingly never-ending "investigations", the goal of which the Republican committee chair admitted were to bring down Hillary Clinton...not to discover the truth.

Hillary Clinton's positions on most things are in line with where I sit on the political spectrum" left-leaning centrist-moderate. Although she's a little more hawkish than I would like, she does have the respect of many top generals and admirals and does understand the international situation. The fact is that Clinton has more relevant experience, not only than her Republican Party opponent, but than anyone else who was interested in the job. She would be a steady hand - she's not an idealogue. A criticism that I heard earlier this year was that no one was passionate about their support for Clinton. Is that such a bad thing? I'm not voting for someone who can raise hell and inflame the masses, I'm voting for someone who can reasonably and rationally lead our country as chief executive and represent our country abroad. I'm not worried about her supposed lack of charisma either - we're not electing a prom queen.
