Hillary Clinton for President???????

[rylan]

Lol Joel. That post is funny, but so sad because its true.

I think a perfect example of what the crazy leftist dems are trying to do to this country (and what Hillary believes in) is the recent democratic debate. The 9 candidates were faling over each other with PC responses to the PC questions, trying to pander to Latinos and get as left as possible, while the debate questions were askedin Spanish -fist- and then translated into english *roll*

The scary thing is that Hillary is smart enough to fool enough people to vote for her, and a large majority of dumbasses will vote for her just because she is a "woman".

Good one Joel. Got something on listening to ones' gut feelings?

Sooner or later the pendelum will have to swing back, or all go down the tube. Evolution doesn't listen to anybody. What works is right.

Oh, and speaking of gut feelings, one look at Hillary and my gonads freeze up tight and duck out of sight. I don't blame Billy at all!

Well if you ever met her in person...she comes across as very cold too. Billy has this aura about him...and I know why women would do what they did with him

LOL I got to meet both of them in Baumholder before getting shipped out in Bosnia back in 1995

Why don't you make History and go for Tony Blair ???? You can have him.

And there's another thing. Clinton took us into Bosnia in the middle of a civil war. Ordered the carpet bombing of the area which killed numerous civilians and you heard very little criticism in the news about it. But Bush takes us into Afghanastan after a terrorist leader who had been involved in the murder of 3000 people and the destruction of the WTC and then into Iraq to overthrow a ruthless terrorist supporting dictator all the while doing everything he can to minimize civilian casualties and you hear nothing but criticism in the news.

Joel the war in Iraq was based on nothing as is coming out in the inquiry into the sucide of Dr Kelly. As MI5 said there was no connection between ALQ and Soddem. We're still waiting for the weapons of mass descruction. Last time I heard they've gone fishing for them. Still Tony's convinced they'll be found but then he has to be doesn't he.
This maybe the reason for critism you're now getting. If the weapons are found Bush Blah blah will be hero's but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Mutz,

To address a point - the United States is NOT, technically speaking, a democracy. I don't think there is a functioning true democracy anywhere in the world.


The United States is a representative republic. Our state representatives are elected by popular vote, and they in turn elect the president.

This is why I repeatedly state that no third-party politician can possibly win the presidency, since our electoral college tends to vote along strictly party lines.

except in states where the law requires their electoral college members to vote according to the popular vote. more and more states are passing said laws, but the presidency is still won by whoever wins the most electoral votes. thus pres bush won the presidency, even thiugh gore technically had the majority of the popular vote.

Gosh, I wish someone besides Bush or Gore could have won that election.

The other choice was Ralph Nader....not exactly a viable choice.

No, Doc, I agree -- but he would have been fun!!!

Though I don't exactly give a rat's ass about it (you can guess what I voted) and think this thread stands on the edge of Lounge and Temp Forum, I think she has a great deal of chances of winning if she's nominated. For two simple and trivial reasons:

1. She's a woman, potentially the first woman president in history and many women (if not all) and feminists would vote for her.
2. Want it or not, Bush screwed up big time with the war in Iraq.

How competent she is or how "dirty", I don't know, but if she runs for president it will at least be a close race.

Why do you all think all women would vote for a woman just because she's a woman? Are all the women you know THAT stupid? Or would YOU vote for a candidate just because he's a man?

I left room of interpretation about women, I didn't totally said all.
In my, maybe misguided, observation of American society, "clan attitude" seems to be a stronger and more frequent behavior than it is in Europe. Black sticks for black, latino for latino, gay for gay, feminists for women...
I can't totally make it a gender thing, it's also about a historical first. It could've been a black person running.

So, you've got a historical first coupled with a strong feminist feeling and discontent over the material and human sacrifices of the Iraq war. Not quite a neglectable base to start with.

Unfortunately when you do discussions with women, it seems that most are THAT stupid / illogic.
It really doesn't matter if Hillary is a woman or a man or something inbetween (which would be the most appropriate in "her" case..), but what DOES matter is that she is maybe even more corrupt than BillyBoy Clinton and we did see what kind of policy we'd have to expect from her when she was president... (=the first year of Bill's presidency already had the US more or less under the reign of Hillary - with the effect that the Republicans gained one of the greatest victories in the following elections )
