clinton was raised a republican. she's a conservative - across the board.
but, the cultural perception of hillary clinton is largely a strawman created by rush limbaugh, newt gingrich and rupert murdoch that is designed to smear her as "too liberal". even her supporters seem to be overwhelmingly voting in favour of the strawman created by the right, rather than the candidate's actual policies.
they've completely defined the debate - you probably voted for or against the strawman.
think about that.
