I Can Think Of Nothing Good From Hillary Becoming President, You? - NO Hillary Clinton For President

WiseOne · #1 01.30.2007

I have pondered over the last few weeks and cannot find even ONE reason why it WOULD be good for Hillary to become President. I may, indeed, have to delete this section of the forum due to the lack of ANY logical arguments for "this woman" becoming President...?

I really can't. There may be, some day and in some way, a place for a female president.

But Hillary is a leftover, not running as "a woman" per se, but rather as some kind of twisted legacy of her husband's mangled presidency and even at that--it's like an "entitlement" she earned for putting up with that--but should we have to pay for that?

She's the wrong woman at the wrong time for the wrong reasons. At least in that--she's consistent!

Wow, very well articulated! Its good to see intelligent people start to talk honestly about this woman. I REFUSE to be bullied into the brainwashing of, "you don't like her because she is a woman"...

The main entitlement she has, as a woman, is to have all the women of America NOT vote for her come election time due to her indifference to what her hubby was doing and her tunnel vision on power in whatever form, be it the Senate or the Presidency.

Who knows what form Hillary is going to "morph" into in the next year or so to achieve her goals, but we'll be here to watch her and keep the truth coming out...I guess you could call us "The Keeper's of Hillary's TRUTH"...

Need to start with a different premis. I suggest there isn't one good thing about Hillary period!

I won't vote for Hillary because of her vote for the war powers act (which gave Pres. Bush the right to wage war in Iraq). But, there are a number of things going for her.
1) Successful foreign policy experience. I know most people on this board are Republicans, who still think for some reason they have any validity when speaking about foreign policy. But, you have to admit that Hillary has more foreign policy experience than Pres. Bush did when he ran for his 1st term. She was there for her husband's triumphs and blunders. 2 successful terrorist attacks on US soil (1993 bombing of the twin towers and the Oklahoma City bombing...which was done by a Republican). But, on the good side, she was there for a time when the US was incredibly popular. We were known as a force for good. People came to us for help, wanted to be like us. The dollar was strong, the country was safe, and we could travel pretty much anywhere (except Somalia).

2) Successful Senate career. How many Presidential contenders have now, or ever, had experience both in the Whitehouse and in the Senate. Well, a couple Presidents running for their second term were Senators at one point. Some VPs, too. Al Gore was a Senator, right? Bob Dole? Mondale was a Senator. But, none of these people won. Most Presidents just come with Executive experience (all the way back until Kennedy, right?) I think Executive is more important than Legislative, but having Legislative is a good thing.

3) Working Across the Aisle. Okay, I consider this a negative, but most people won't. She works with Republicans. After 8 years of the man who claimed to be "A United, not a Divider", but ended up becoming "The Decider", it might be nice to have a President who can get along with his or her political rivals. Personally, I think the Republican agenda is destroying our great country, and that any who work with a Republican is nothing more than a Quisling, but I imagine some on this board my disagree. (hhmmm..this board cut out the explicative before "Quisling". It rhymes with mucking)

4) A Good Politician. This lady has weathered the worst. Claims of corruption, murder, lesbianism, being married just for the power, etc. Some of that might be true (am I the only one hoping to find a Hillary/Condi sex tape on YouTube? Yeah, probably :) ). Just for the record, she didn't kill Vince Foster! She's electable because she won't bend over for the Swift Boating like that guy with the horse-face..whatizname...Kerry. The Republicans have only one strategy to win...go negative. They certainly can't run on record ("Yay!!! We lost a major American city, got our boys stuck in a quagmire in Iraq and we went from record surpluses to record deficits!!!). The only way for the Dems to win is to not fall to this old, nasty, but effective tactic.

Finally, the single best thing I can say in Hillary's support is....she's not a Republican.

Wow Dave: A bit narrow minded are we? She sounds like your candidate, just because you hate President Bush's decision to take it to al Queda shouldn't hamper your love affair with this woman. Go ahead, pull the lever for Hillary:)

I never said I was against the war in Afghanistan. Perhaps we should have finished it, but it was well began.

I object to Hillary primarily because she voted to give the President the right to attack Iraq, who had nothing to do with 9/11. And, she was practically obsequious with her Republican collegues. She voted to authorize the count in the 2004 election. She's really just a step away from Joe Lieberman.

I didn't say much of that. This thread isn't about what I didn't like. It is about what I do like about her. Of course a list of what I like is going to sound positive.

Ooh, ooh, I know one. By 2010 I will be a minority. So will every other white, heterosexual, english speaking male. And when liberals are in office it's good to be a minority. Yay Hillary! ::where's the puke smilie when you need it?::
