Hillary Clinton

Maybe I shouldn't use those terms, even if I don't mean it to degrade a category of people, but still, people make too big a deal of this s**t.

*sigh*

There sonly one problem anyone needs with Hillary as a candidate.

She is contemptably weak in every meaning of the word.

Everything everyone says about her "experience" is garbage. Hillary's experience was being married to Bill for 8 years while he was the president. Her one attempted contribution to his presidency, that children's healthcare plan, got her laughed back into the kitchen, literally. She went from attempting to write government policy to appearing on talk shows and sharing cookie recipes.

As a Senator, she has accomplished nothing. She has said a lot of words, and the Democrats have let it look like she was doing things because they want to ride the high from Bill's 8 years, and because the Clinton name is losing it's magic and Hillary's run has to be utilized as soon as possible. But as a Senator, she has done nothing. She has done so little that she hasn't even become a failure along the lines of Tom Daschle and Lindsey Graham.

Hillary knows nothing, has accomplished nothing, and has all the spine of a planarian.

Seriously, whenever I hear someone say that people are intimidated by a strong woman, it makes me want to vomit, because calling Hillary a strong woman is an insult to the female gender in its entirety.

Maryland has a senator named Barbara Mikulski, who - and correct me if I'm wrong, Democrats, but it's my understanding that being anti-war is very important for you, right? Well, Senator Mikulski has been anti-war since Gulf War 1, has over 20 years of experience in the Senate, and years of House experience on top of that, and she rose up through the local ranks of government. As opposed to Hillary, who had nothing to do with New York before moving there after Bill's terms were up.

If it weren't for Dennis Kucinich, I'd say Hillary was the worst senator in the nation.

Hillary is a poverty pimp and same old line " I feel your pain " and government is here to help releave the suffering. She has no clue at all how private industry works and said something last night about the government creating jobs threw goverment spending. Obama said something about tax policy should lean towards favoring domestic production.

To reiterate, I'm for Obama. But I am bothered by the ignorance of some people who sneer at Sen. Clinton's experience as First Lady. Sure, there are some of them who don't do much of significance, and there is a certain stereotype associated with the role. But there are some strong, politically involved women who've held the job, dating back to the days of Abigail Adams and Dolly Madison. I've heard the joke that "Eleanor Roosevelt was our first lesbian president." During the Clinton administration, right-wingers hardly stopped complaining about not just Hillary and Bill, but "Billary" as a single unit. I admire her for trying to change the role of First Lady, even though she got completely nailed for it. I know many people who are economic leftists castigate her for failing to implement universal health care. There is some merit to that, don't get me wrong. But I also think Bill bears at least part of the blame. He could have given the proposal more political backing. I also think that, sadly, many Americans are just phobic to the idea of nationalizing healthcare. I wish it were not the case, but I don't blame Sen. Clinton for that entirely. I actually prefer her healthcare plan to Obama's, but I believe Obama may stand a better chance at actually implementing change. Some of this has to do with Sen. Clinton's personality and political skills, but a lot of it simply has to do with the fact that she's polarized people, through little fault of her own.

I voted for Obama, but I've gotten so disgusted with the awful things that people are saying about Hillary that I almost hope she wins now.

Okay, I got an easy one for you, John. Right now, tax cuts are in the works to stimulate the economy. What was the reason for the last round of tax cuts, when there was a budget surplus? Oh, I remember, it was because the tax-payers know how to spend their tax dollars better than the government does. That seems to have worked really well.
