Why does everyone hate Hillary, Socialist Medicine and the National Debt

I don't think Hillary is that horrible of a person. Other than her personality, I don't really see where all the hatred comes from. Her stances don't even seem that far left compared with a lot of the senate. I think too many people just use the Clinton name to get conservatives fired up over losing the white house again.

-All of the current democratic proposals for health care are not a horrible way of doing thing. I think that socialist medicine has turned into a way of insulting someones health care plan, instead of looking at how the plan works. The only single payer health care system was pushed by Kucinich and he is gone now. Obama's and Hillary's plans are very similar(to Romney's Mass plan).

-Currently the dems are the ones cutting spending. They will raise taxes on the rich, but we have to increase income somewhere and I think that somehow they will make it through. Our national debt has almost doubled since Bush took office and I think that we need to start paying off some of that or the interest will start to crush us. In the past 30 years, every time a democrat has been in office the national debt as a proportion of GDP has gone down. Every republican has it it go up. This definitely has to do with taxes, but there are other factors as well.
