Would you Vote for Hillary Clinton for President?

[Dirty Slut]

If Hillary ran for president of the United States would you vote for her? This is a real question, and no joke. As I see it now, she, of all the women who could run would have the best chance to win the presidential election. I think she'd make a great president. And I'd get a real kick out of seeing the Clintons dethrone another Bush after only four years in office, wouldn't you? Just think, we'd have the budget back inline again, and the economy right where it belongs on top.

Of course that would make Bill the only man in history to have been both president, and first gentleman, but I think he's up for it. His escapades would only help Hillary's standing, as a woman cheated on always draws the sympathetic to their side, as well as the self-rightious in mind. And if the republicans come up with some shit on her well then she can say what's fair is fair, right?

What's your thoughts on this? LOL I know I'm going to get ripped by the republicans on this, but I don't care. This is a true test of feminism. In example: Are you really a feminist, or are you really just trying to bullshit a women into bed with you? LOL

I would. I think she has quite a brain on her.

I would. I think she has quite a brain on her.

Yes she does, and it was one of the reasons that I started this thread. She also has an air of karisma, and a charming inner strength that would see her through the "Good ole boys," missinformation scams.

[sweetnpetite]

I'd vote for her. I really like her.

And not that it has any relavance whatsoever, but I think she's pretty too.

No.

But that's because we don't have no presidency over here in Bork-Bork-land.

Ok then. Would I, could I? Sure. She seems to be one of the sharper tools in the shed, and sure wouldn't do worse than the current travesty. But then again, I know very little about US politics and politicians. Have she ever been down in the mud with the rest of us? Had a real job?

I think she'd make a shitty president just like she made a shitty president the first time she was in office.

I don't vote for powermongering bitches who try to run the country from the unelected First Lady's chair. I also don't vote for powermongering bitches who support murderous bitches like Reno who authorize and instigate the murder of innocent women in children simply because they happen to be involved with men who legally possess too many weapons for the jackbooted governmental thug's comfort. I don't vote for powermongering bitches who agree with and/or support policies that led to blatant military idiocy like the Serbo-Croatian clusterfuck. The Somalian clusterfuck. The Clintons were very good at sending troops into situations that fucked them over, got them killed, and then yanked them out before they 1) accomplished the mission they were sent to do and 2) caused political embarrassment.

Bush may be a warmongering bitch, but at least he's a warmongering bitch that doesn't hide behind Monica Lewinsky's wide ass. You know where he's sending the troops because it's on the front page.

Factiod: Clinton deployed the troops into combat situations 300% more than the previous president who was involved in a war and the president before that who was involved in the Cold War.

Sig Heil Fucking Hitlery right up her powerhungry ass.

I don't remember the First Lady ever having any real power in our government other than having the ear of her husband to chew on when they were alone. And since Bill spent time with Monica instead of with Hilary, then that was time away from her husband's ear as well. For right or wrong, the women married to polotitians, or any job for that matter often support their husbands unconditionally. It was the news media that implied that Hilary was a puppeteer, and powerhungry bitch. For better or worse when you marry doesn't actually prepare you for all of the worse a man can get himself into. It was after all, Bill Clinton's Presidency, not Hilary's.

powerhungy?

mmm....pow-er





seeking power, being ambitius, such unnatractive qualities in a woman (I think KM mighta been accused of it once or twice here on lit)






Girls should focus on baking fluffier chocolate chip cookies.



mmmm....coo-kies







methinks power tastes better







double standards however, taste bitter in my mouth and make my tongue sad

 

[Icingsugar]

There is that of course. The fact that she has reached a noteable political position by (not only, but mostly) being a celebrity (in her case, First Pussy), and not for whatever political ideas she may or may not have, is something that in my book, weighs against her.

On the other hand, the same thing worked for the bushman. (First Kiddo)

Political nespotism in a democratic society sucks the donkey's ass.

/Ice - had a communist grandpa, can I make a career out of that, perhaps?

 

[Couture]

Can't we get out of voting for people's families? I mean, shit, we had Bush I, Clinton, now Bush II. Now, you have people suggesting Clinton II? They've been trying for Kennedy II for sometime now. Here's my question, there's how many people in the US and that's the best we can do?

Here's an idea. If you get elected president, then your wife and kids are ineligible. I don't blame the people across the pond for liking this idea, but to me it smacks of monarachism. I'm not even sure if that's a word, but it oughtta be one. George Washington wouldn't have been proud.

Here's another idea. Fuck all the CEO's, millionaires, and people from political dynasties. Let's put some regular people in office. Instead of elections, let's inititiate the draft. "Hey you, you over there in the halter top. Yeah, you're president. Come with me. Don't worry about the guys in the suits, they'll be following you around for awhile.

 

[dr_mabeuse]

I'd want to know more about her positions on a lot of issues, and I'd want to get a better feel for what kind of president she'd be, but I have no a priori prejudices against her.

She's smart, ambitious, good-looking, and of course female, and she elicits worse violent knee-jerk antipathy on a personal level than even Bill, which is really saying something, so I don't think she'd have a chance. Too many people just hate her for what she is to even listen to whatever she might have to say.

But I'd have no problem voting for her.

[OldnotDead]

there is so little record

Hillary's real problem is that when it comes to MANAGING, we have little or no record concerning her. We do know what she stands for, I think, but there really is very little track record. And, sadly, the one public opportunity we do know about does not reflect well on her.

During Clinton's first term, she was put in charge of a task force that was to look at modifying or even totally revolutionizing the way the government handled health care. The first committee she assembled had some of the most successful health care executives in the country along with a variety of people representing different governmental health care constituencies. (For those that do not really know US health care it is an amalgam of private pay, insurance, HMO, Federal Gov't and State Gov't) The loft goal of that committe was to look at where things seemed to be working and see what could be done to do more of what worked and less of what was not working.

Sadly, by the end of the first round of meetings, Miss Hillary made it very clear that anyone that did not support a NATIONAL health care insurance plan should leave the committee as that was HER goal. The result was a total debacle. Even her own party could not support what was presented.

For those that think her husband was such a great economic manager, please check your facts. The ONLY department that was reduced in size during his administration was the Defense Department. All other governmental budgets ballooned. Lucky for him the cuts were deep enough that the budget did get balanced.

Most economists now agree that his tax increases in his first term delayed the economic recovery by at least six months. Further, the recession had already started before he left office.

I just do not think there is any evidence that Miss Hillary listens to any voice other than her own.

From a personal perspective, I would love to see her get the nomination and resign from the Senate. I am convinced she would lose and then we might just be blessed with the Clinton's fading away. Unfortunately, I believe she is going to be the next Teddy Kennedy. The perenial 'possible' candidate that clouds the issues for others more qualified, until she finally shoots herself in the foot and we are left watching her get old and less effective.

If more Democrats could be a little more objective about the party and less emotional, I think they would see that this couple has not been as good for the party as everyone thinks. Everyone wants to focus on Florida. If Al Gore had won either Arkansas or Tennessee, Florida would not have mattered. Think about it.

Re: there is so little record

If Al Gore had won either Arkansas or Tennessee, Florida would not have mattered. Think about it.

If you had practiced One Man (ok, ok, ok, or Woman) One Vote over there, there would never had been a florida issue in the first place.

Wtf are electors good for?

[gauchecritic]

I couldn't give a twopenny toss whether you vote for Hilary or not, familial dynasties notwithstanding. If you're American (or not American but for naturalisation) then you can be President can't you?

What I would warn against, as someone has pointed out, and having The Thatch as an example, women tend to go for what they want in politics, even if it means creating civil unrest and/or destroying families/communities. And for all that she couldn't even make the trains run on time.

Very few women in authority behave like women in my opinion, they behave like a figure of authority and they have to try so much harder to be (unconsciously or not) equal to, or better than previous men in the same job, it distorts their thinking.

On the other hand, I know of no harder workers nor more dedicated to their job people than some women I know.

I would vote for H. Clinton. I think she's extremely intelligent and as ruthless as RFK when he took his senate seat. I like that she took her stand to the limit on the nattional health care issue. She's got more balls than all those who back down on issues for the party's or whatever's sake.

I don't believe she'd be anything like a Thatcher, she's her own woman, vs. wanting to prove she's a woman, or as good as a man.

She's a real politician but like Ginger w/Fred she manages it with heels and dancing backwards.

I'm not really being glib. Can't think of any other woman at present I'd vote for the presidency.

KM "I don't vote for powermongering bitches"

Nice to hear from a Republican; don't want Colleen to feel too alone!

I'd vote for a power mongering bitch any time, if she'd not just do nice things--more tax breaks, etc-- for the rich and the huge corporations.

PS:
Regarding:

Strikes me more as a sentence-ti-oid. What the f*** does it mean? Frothing overcomes grammar-ing.

 

[Colleen Thomas]

No.

I didn't vote for her for Senator. I thought State Senator from NY was too good for her, but at least as a Jr. Senator she can't hurt too much, besides this state is so bassackwards I doubt anyone could really do more harm. I wouldn't vote for her if she ran for town dog catcher.

On second thought maybe I would, since I like dogs and I could be sure if she were elected none would be caught during her tenure.

[Quasimodem]

Even without running – perhaps BECAUSE she's not running – Hilary Clinton looks better, politically, than half of the democratic contenders.

Any democrat, and quite a few of the more reasonable republicans, look better, politically, than the incumbent.

What am I saying!

Mortimer Snerd looks better politically than the incumbent president. At least Snerd is supposed to be a dummy.

Had I any choice, I would definitely consider nominating Hilary Clinton.

If I had a vote to cast would I choose her over the incumbent?

Who in their right mind wouldn't?!?!

 

[MathGirl]

I'd only vote for her on one condition; that she could be recalled. It would be so cool to recall a president. She is such an asshole.

Ps. LOL

 

[deliciously_naughty]

I'd definitely vote for her. I've always admired Hillary since I was 13. She's someone I've considered a role model in quite a few ways.

 

[Dirty Slut]

Here's another thought....

Technically, Bill Clinton could run for another two terms in office now. And even knowing that the man is an adulterer I wonder if he couldn't win the next election if he was asked to run. Personally, I'd rather vote for Hillary than for Bill, but anyone is better than another four years of a pussyless Bush.

[Weird Harold]

No way I would vote for Hilllary Clinton for anything -- except maybe Prisoner Of the Year, which is the only elective office she's qualified for.

I might vote for Chelsea Clinton when she's old enough to be President, but it depends on what her policies are and her political record when she runs.

How do you figure?? Not possible under the 22nd amendment ratified in 1951:

Amendment XXII:

Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.


I wouldn't vote for Hillary. And I fail to see how that is a true test of feminism.
