Go Hillary!!!!
 
She always brings emotional responses. :D

I think she's fantastic and I'd love to see her as my President. :p





I'm now opening the floor to a comprehensive discussion of Hillary Clinton. :cool:

umm, i think she is a 'power' seeker. recently (past few yrs) she is very careful to not state anything too contrary to what middle america thinks, hence she supported and still supports the iraq war. she definetely hopes to court the center-right. as for president, whether she goes for it or not (and she has said she won't), i don't see america voting for a woman in 2008. maybe as vice though.

Well any politician is a power seeker and I dont see that her being a woman is the issue.

I like her by the way.

So is it a woman thing ? Men are more concerned about her looks! Sorry Ray

Leslie Nov 8th 2006 3:14 am

Re: Go Hillary!!!!
 
I don't really think it's just about how Hillary looks. BE FAIR - She's certainly not some hideous monstrosity. She's a woman in later mid-life and certainly looks great on EVERY level.

I think that some BE men find her threatening ..... they are normally the older male posters among us. :p Many of the younger "hipper" male posters think she's quite fab. :cool:

Anyhoo .... it's always a fun debate.

Carry on ....

I think a lot of men have never experienced working for smart, savvy women. I have had the privilege of working for many so do not have that prejudice.

I say "go away Hillary!" There must be better Democratic presidential candidates than her.

I'm waiting for the first bisexual biracial aetheist Presidential candidate to step forward. This will be a great day for the US! :)

I like her very, very much and I think if she ran with Obama as vp she would have a decent chance. However the two things that worry me about her is that she voted for the war in Iraq and that she has big ties with WalMart, who I feel are a wart on America and I loathe them with every part of my being.
No ones perfect though, and if I'm a citizen in 2008 I expect to be campaigning for her with all my might. :)

this is true, for people who think about their vote; but in reality a lot just go for personality... the one they 'like'

I'll probably be a USC in 2 years.
I'd vote for her if she ran.

jen_andreson Nov 8th 2006 12:58 pm

Re: Go Hillary!!!!
 
I liked her very much in 92, and volunteered (as a uni student) on her husband's campaign. However, after watching her fail on nearly all her promises and watching her flip around on issues I no longer support her. She and her husband scrapped their health care plan from the budget to maintain a balanced budget, which was a significant mistake, as it was the only time that funds had been isolated...and that was the focus of their campaign/her role for 8 years. Do we trust her again? I will if she can present a working plan, and not just talk the talk.

She's just come out in favour of gay marriage, and has changed her stance on the war so she is saying and doing the right things. Let's just hope she can be crystal clear about her agenda and can stick to it. And, she's going to need to keep a clean slate on the corruption front, following the staff trouble/court cases her team have been involved with in recent years.

I don't think America will vote for a female, but only time will tell.

I'm with you on that. I've worked for women attorneys for all of my years of working in the field and have to say because of their gender they work harder, longer and have to be brighter and more intutitive than any male attorney if they wish to become partner and/or chairwoman as my attorney is.

Go Hillary !!!! She got my vote last night !!!!
