No, they have not. And even if they did, I'm... baffled at this being your primary bastion of anger when you yourself say that Clinton is not the cause of people being assholes.
You don't trust governments -- I'm wary of the government but I trust corporations even less. I simply don't trust business to run health-care. The prices that people have to pay in America for simple health care is proof enough of that to me. I know people who cannot afford to buy basic care because of corporate greed. And that's influenced my view of things.
And I like Clinton in part because she has many more years of public record available (I can judge her not just based on her time in the Senate but for her time as First Lady) -- what she's said compared to what she's done. I tend to approve of her thoughtfulness -- she makes mistakes sometimes and rethinks positions, but I never feel that she does it heedlessly. Some of her speeches have touched me deeply, though she is not quite the master of rhetoric that Obama is. Generally, I feel that I understand and agree with her and her positions a great deal better than Obama's (he tends to be... more vague than I'd like) and that I agree with her stance on the issues at hand in the places where they differ (and I do feel that their politics are far more similar than dissimilar which is why I'm personally baffled when either Clinton or Obama supporters say that they plan to vote for McCain if their choice loses out).
