Hillary Clinton Launching Presidential Run

[Gonz]

Folks are power hungry. They're willing to do damn near anything, anything at all, to have a piece of the pie...so to speak.

If you had to, which one?

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

If I had to? You mean I only get one bullet?

to have a piece of the pie...so to speak.

I don't know why anyone pays attention to this. She's virtually unelectable and everybody knows it.

List of virtually unelectable traits:
Female
Non-white
Non-Catholic

It's not just Hillary..I doubt that ANY woman will become President (or even VP) anytime soon.

Her attempt is not worth a HILLary of beans.

 

[Gonz]

Non-Catholic? We've only had one Catholic, to my knowledge.

 

[MrBishop]

I believe that I meant non-Christian....

Speaking as a woman--I agree with you. I will take it further and say that I don't know if a woman should be in charge of the US when we are facing the next 50 years of keeping our interests safe from radical Islamic threats.

I disagree. I think that there are women who could do just as good a job as a man (better than a lot of them) but Hillary sure as hell isn't one.

 

[Gonz]

I don't think that gender nor creed nor color would affect the decision of a majority if the person with the unusual trait (for the job) was the right person at the right time.

I am personally not opposed to a woman president if a qualified candidate emerges. I do question her effectiveness in negotiating with other nations, Islamic or anything else, who may not respect women as our society does. I fear it could hamper negotiations, treaties, whatnot. Otherwise, if a lady is the best candidate she gets my vote.




Note please that Hillary is neither a lady nor the best candidate though...

Condaleeza Rice for President!

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

There's worse options.

 

[catocom]

I'd vote for Colon Powell ahead of anybody I've seen to run so far,
and on any ticket.

But, it's my understanding that he's said "no way in hell".

 

[Cerise]

Doesn't anyone see any differences--psychological or biochemical--that could cause a problem where a woman deals with a man in a critical situation?

Hormonal or emotional differences aside, by comparison 2 men, although different people, would be on the same "wavelength" and speak the "same language." Or so my feelings tell me. Ungowa.

 

[MrBishop]

Tell that to Margaret Thatcher.

 

[chcr]

Tell that to Margaret Thatcher.

Or Elizabeth I

I wonder if part of our little problem here is that some among us mistakenly see the 18th century as "a better time."
