Why I Refuse To Vote For Hillary Clinton

Why should a pathological liar be the leader of this country?

As a woman, a lot of Americans think that all women should be voting for Hillary Clinton. They say Trump is degrading toward women. Voting for him will cause us to go back far in history, taking away our rights such as pro-choice, according to most feministic magazines, blogs, and even news channels. However, I would rather have the right to not get an abortion than a pathological liar for president.

Clinton claims that she is all for women's rights but did she or did she not get charges for a 42-year-old rapist dropped? The girl was 12. Girl. Women's rights? She laughs about it too, saying she knew he was guilty. How is this ethical and how does this match up with women's rights? It doesn't. There are also videos of her talking about her political views, topics like she is against gay marriage, that she is suddenly for. She will say anything to get elected for president.

Clinton got fired from the Watergate investigation because she removed files and then lied about it. How are we going to have someone for president that constantly lies to protect themselves? That is not even counting all of the emails she deleted, putting the nation at risk, that she lied about and refused to be accountable for.

Let's not forget to mention that her own party refuses to support her. Bernie Sanders even said Clinton was "unqualified for president," someone in her own party does not even want to vote for her. Obama did not support her either until she was the only candidate left in the party. This has to speak volumes about the type of leader she is: in the words of Donald Trump "very bad."

What about amendment rights? Clinton wants to get rid of American's right to bare arms. Of course her security guards will still have guns though. How is that fair? Regular citizens are not allowed to protect themselves with their amendment rights but superiors are entitled to it? It is not just.

In the last debate, Trump also brought up a very valid point. With as much money as Clinton has made in her political career thus far, why does she refuse to at least somewhat fund her own campaign? She is instead taking money from countries who suppress women and kill gays. She supports these people in America so why does she not support them globally? If she cares about both of these groups of people so much, why would she gladly take money from countries that hate them?

I am not saying Trump is perfect by any means, but what I am saying is that he is the lesser of two evils between the two candidates and that is why i will be voting for him this upcoming November.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
