Comments on: Does Ellen Believe Hillary? http://www.courtingequality.com/archives/108 A Documentary History of America's First Legal Same-Sex Marriages Mon, 6 Sep 2010 21:50:37 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Janie King http://www.courtingequality.com/archives/108/comment-page-1#comment-6871 Janie King Sat, 12 Apr 2008 19:18:17 +0000 http://www.courtingequality.com/archives/108#comment-6871 I tend to believe what Hillary said on the Ellen show. Wouldn't it be fairly easy to check up on this? Does Hillary want to go through another "Bosnia" firestorm? And what better forum for her to talk about her gay neighbors than the "Ellen" show? One thing that did bother me, though, was toward the end when she said that things needed to be made "more fair". I would've preferred to hear her say that things needed to be made "equal". Surely she can't be too concerned about getting the conservative vote. I tend to believe what Hillary said on the Ellen show. Wouldn’t it be fairly easy to check up on this?

It sounds like Hillary would promise anything to get our votes. For her to say she wants to eliminate breast cancer in the next decade is to make a promise she knows she can't keep. It will not be eliminated in the next decade, no matter how many resources we throw at it. Rather, cancer is caused in part by environmental factors, which she does not propose to address at all. Instead, she would give more money to futile study of band-aids for the problem. I digress some, but after having voted for Hillary, I have been serially disappointed by her words and actions. She was in the White House when DOMA passed, and mounted no defense against it. Where's her explanation of that betrayal?
