I need to ask this because every time I hear that my BULLSHIT detector goes haywire.

You tell me.

1. I don't know if she is
but the fact that she is female is what seems to yank the leashes of some Hillary Haters out there.

2. Why is no attention paid to Kay Bailey Hutchinson or Liddy Dole?
Just asking?

3. Are you asking me or your OP?

Hillary did not come across as the Laura-Bush-Stepford-Wifey-Wife. THen she performed the evil of attempting to get national healthcare.

And she is a female lawyer.

She is smart (except when she attempts to appease the values voters-she went batshit out of her mind on that one) and acts smart.

There are quite a few people, male and female, who hate that.

Thankfully, there are liberal men and women who find intelligent strong females attractive.

4. She is an ambitious woman
Why is that a sin for her and not for anyone else? Are not Republican politicians power-hungry? No, I guess they're just "ambitious" and "achievement-oriented." Since when did it become a crime to have presidential aspirations? They've been telling us since first grade that anyone can be president but then they villify you if you decided to try.

6. I'm not too fond of Senator Clinton...
but I agree with everything you wrote.

She's obsessed with power in the same way that anyone else who's thinking about a presidential bid is obsessed with power. Unlike most people that have this "obsession", she has ovaries so the knuckledraggers feel compelled to discuss her ambition as if it were unnatural.

5. Ronald Reagan ran for president four times
Reagan even ran against an incumbant for his own party. Hillary hasn't run for president once.

Which one was obsessed with power?

7. I don't know anything at all about Hillary except what I get from MSM.
Neither do any of you but she scares me as a male. Let's hear it for the Big Dawg.....a man among men, Daniel in the lion's den.

Coming from a matriarchal milieu as I do, I think this lady is one tough cookie. She'll let a man be a man until he can't anymore.....then take up the slack.

I like her.

9. No, she's a strong woman. Therefore, she MUST be obsessed with power.
It's sexism in it's rawest.
