Let's face it - Sen.CLINTON can NEVER win the redneck vote |
|
I, despite allegations, would never use un-PC terms, but I've put up with the redneck-comedy-tour in an effort to REACH OUT, and after about 3 effing hours of it, one of those "stars" said that -------well, I don't even remember, just some gratuitous SLAP at Hillary CLINTON, just because. It got a BIG ------------IDIOT------------laugh.
The other 3 dudes attempt to have a veneer of niceness towards others, but Larry-the-Cable-ASSOHOLE is truly repulsive.

1. She won't get many swing votes, either. |
|
She has too much baggage after years of reich wingers spreading lies (and sometimes truth) about her through the corporate media.
I'm sure she represents the people of New York well, but she'll never flip a red or purple state and we HAVE to do that to win.

2. She'll never win my Primary vote, either. |
|
I simply do not feel she represents me or the direction I want the Democratic Party to take.

Not after supporting the war and bankruptcy "reform." I'd just as soon vote for Joe Lieberman.

6. Oh, I don't know. She may not, but Bill may get plenty. |
|
If she decides to run, many will look on them as a team, or perhaps even a chance to get him in the WH again. I don't think we should underestimate President Clinton's popularity, which to this day still polls way up there.

7. The Repubs could nominate an old army boot as a candidate against Hillary. |
|
And I'll bet the old army boot would win.

8. I'm no Hillary fan, but . . . |
|
I'm not so sure she can't win. At this point, McCain is the only 'Lican who looks at all strong to me, and I'm pretty sure he'd spontaneously combust on the campaign trail.
With regard to the VRWC lies (and truths) spread about Hillary, I think those people's influence is in the process of taking a nosedive.
There are many issues on which Hillary's tried to triangulate (which Bill does with genius) that she's simply looked desperate for a position that won't piss off moderates. And that's my primary beef with her. I've had enough of hypocrites in the White House, thank you.
On the other hand, I'll vote for ANYONE who'll spend political capital to fix this country's broken health care delivery system, and I'm pretty sure where she's coming from on that issue (and if I'm wrong, please break it to me gently).
Warts and all, I think she can win.

10. Hillary would be a great President |
|
She's done nothing worst than being the strong, intelligent, successful first lady to Bill and thus the target of hate. She is moving to the center as Bill did to get elected so that once in office she could do good. I support Hillary but know that hate will kill her chances of ever leading this nation. We would have to eliminate many that were caught up in the war (Presidential Authority if need arose) vote in the shadow of 9/11 so why single her out even as a Candidate. Baggage? If she overcomes the lies and character assassination and negativity caused by it, she'd have then proved she's Presidential. I give her credit if she tries (though I am partial to the General and his being outside the political career would be a plus).

|
Hillary for president. Besides being somewhat iconic, I don't see what actually qualifies her for the highest office in the land. Ok, she's smart and she's a democrat... but what has done to distinguish herself from the pack? If she becomes our nominee, I'll vote for her in a heartbeat, but I won't work toward that end.

12. If push comes to shove, I would vote for her for president. |
|
However I won't support her in the primaries unless she is campaigning on something more important than videogames. At a time like this, why does she have to speak up on video games? If she is really afraid to get attacked like some people say, then she needs to crawl back under her rock.

13. Hillary has the same problem as Kerry. An undistinguished record. |
|
What accomplishments is she going to run on? What leadership has she exhibited? :shrug: Polls like she and Kerry don't get it. Unfortunately for us, McCain does and has his name attached to all sorts of important initiatives.
