Hillary Rodham Clinton

You added the statement "Clinton said she agrees with the quote from Alan Arenholt that she used in her book, It Takes a Village: "The unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force in American life in the last generation."

While it may be important to her Political views, the person who removed it is correct that it belongs in Political positions of Hillary Rodham Clinton, not there. Thus, when you added it back in after being told this, you ignored the basis of the article. This article isn't about every single thing she has said and done. It is supposed to be a broad outline of her with the idea that if you want to know details, you visit the links that are clearly and easily placed for that purpose. Otherwise this article would be 50 pages long. If we put this into the Political positions section, then we would also have to add every single position she takes, which is EXACTLY what Political positions of Hillary Rodham Clinton is for. I can't make this any clearer. I'm going to remove the sentence and hope you can understand this.

I encourage you to continue to contribute to the article but it is important to look clearly at the section you are working on and "go with the flow". If you look closely at the Political positions section you added the sentence to, you will see that it isn't for her position on specific issues but for her ratings on how liberal, moderate, or conservative she is. Economic opinions on the free market is only one part of the picture. Also, rather than pointing out, as an example, that "The National Review rates her as 10 out of 100 on their scale of Free Market supporters", you just took one quote of hers and tried to use that to say that is how she votes and stands on every free market issue.

I hope I have made my position clear and that you understand why I removed your sentence and that if you disagree we can discuss this further without any hard feelings. Thank you again for your time. Fanra 14:56, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also consider that Clinton may simply be acknowledging creative destruction. Wasted Time R 16:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
