There is just this growing list on things I cannot stand about her... Just a few from the top of my head, and some links that I quickly found on the net supporting the claims:
-Takes fed lobbyist/PAK money and thinks she can "fight the special interests and lobbyists" once she gets into the white house? So she thinks she can take their money and allow them to have no influence in her white house? Oh please...
-Lies about being under sniper fire when obviously there was no threat, then tries to sway the media by using terms such as "misspoke" and going on talk shows and making fun of the account so it doesn't get nearly as much attention..
-Exaggerates her role in foreign and domestic policy-making on numerous occasions, the one that comes to mind is NAFTA.. and her numerous attended meetings in helping it pass.
-Doesn't even bother to release tax returns, since (I believe) 2001. (Update: She finally released everything through 2006. I don't count 2007 because they "summarized it" but did not release anything official.
-Lies about promises Richardson supposedly made them for endorsement.. Proven false.

-Took money from a fugitive fund raiser, can't remember his name. Taking his money after she was warned that he was crooked. Taking money from hundreds of thousands of doners obviously is not 'scannable' but first being told "this guy is a fugitive fund raiser" then then decides after the fact to not denounce his contribution. If she did repudiate it recently, well it took long enough..
-Apparently doesn't believe in transparency in government, makes deals and creates legislation behind closed doors, doesn't even listen to republicans and/or people who disagree by disallowing them into the closed door sessions..
-Credit Card Interest Cap @ 25%: Hillary Voted for the first version "hoping it wouldn't pass"? What? I can't believe that, maybe theres something I'm missing in this bullet point.
-Gives speeches on peoples experiences she exaggerates (not accurately portraying people)

-And I saw her getting emotional again over the MLK anniversary.. Its like not tearing up has helped her win before...cmon. This bullet point is a touchy subject since it was MLK after all... but the politics of crying in public has truely worked out in the past.. Making the voters change their minds and flock back over to her side..
I'm sure theres MORE, but most of this stuff came from the top of my head. I just did quick searches to back up these statements.. But cmon! But it seems like she gets emotional when shes losing ground in order to gain support, exagerates her stories to more strongly get her points accross and/or appeal like to stronger candidate. Meanwhile not allowing her policy making in numerous occasions not transparent to the American people. It seems like she's not just playing politics with politicians, but with the American people. And the American people are just blindly ignoring it...
