Okay, I LIKE Hillary, but I still won't vote for her in the primary... |
|
For one thing, I agree more with Edwards' stances on the issues than I do any of the other candidates.
But I also have a problem with "dynastic politics". Consider: if Hillary is elected, that will mean the last 4 POTUS will be Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton.
That sounds suspiciously like a monarchy to me, and it makes me VERY uneasy.
All that said, I'll still vote for her in '08 if she is the nominee. I just wish it could be someone else.

1. Please don't compare HRC 2 * ... it's apples and rotten fruit |
|
Bill became prez because he appreciated HRC from way back ... it was a team then and is now. * swaggered past his little brother to coast on his father's residual good will.

Well, I hear ya and I agree. Problem is, |
|
by the time my state's primary rolls around in early June, it really won't matter much. I'm afraid there won't be that much of a choice by that time, anyway. It pisses me off, but what else can you do.

3. Sounds suspiciously like right wing blather to me. |
|
Was the media, was anyone, pushing this concern when shrub was running? No.
Could it be because he is a male and our culture accepts a son building on a family legacy?
Hillary is neither male or a legacy.
Female - wrong - illegitimate - blah, blah, blah.

4. Wow, quick to jump on my opinion, aren't you? |
|
"Right wing blather"?
Huh. Well, I wasn't AROUND on DU in 2000, so I couldn't raise the objection to Shrub by the dynastic politics argument.
Nor did I mention anything about Hillary being female (personally I think Barbara Boxer would make a wonderful Prez, but then she's not running, is she?).
Plus, just because you hear a rightie saying something doesn't mean it's automatically incorrect. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day!

5. I can't say I "like" her in the same way I like Edwards (and Gore). |
|
And yes, I am very much a feminist so it's not sexism. She's just not my first choice, mostly for her too-right-leaning stance on the war, etc.
That said, if she gets the nom she gets my vote. Period.

7. I just don't get the monarchy argument. |

Probably because it can't happen in the U.S. With that said I am glad you will vote for her if she is our nominee. I plan on voting for whoever the Dem nominee is.
