I greatly admire Frederick Douglass.

Hillary lost my vote, my trust, and my respect when she voted to give GW Bush authority to invade Iraq.

She is terribly unqualified to be president based on her foreign policy record, which her supporters inexplicably point to as one of her strengths. She's "strong" on foreign policy in the same vein as GW Bush -- ready and eager to flex military muscles in the next costly fiasco laden with unintended consequences.

The military industrial complex and Wall Street undoubtedly would no doubt be pleased to call her Madam President.

No thanks. Madame doesn't mean shit when she is a conservative. Thatcher didn't help the UK and TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #4

That's rude. n/t Kang Colby Oct 2015 #6

Rude in what way? Is it rude to assert she is liberal? Disagreement with you is not rudeness. TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #15

Using her name in the same paragraph as Thatcher is, in my opinion, rude. n/t Kang Colby Oct 2015 #17

Well, then that is like your opinion. I obviously don't share it nor am I obligated to indulge it. TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #39

No, what's rude is determining a "Madam President" Le Taz Hot Oct 2015 #88

That's your opinion. lovemydog Oct 2015 #24

It is and those more often than I'd prefer come out in the wash as fact. TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #51

Obama called himself a 'moderate Republican of the 80s' on economics. RichVRichV Oct 2015 #67

Um ok .... ronnykmarshall Oct 2015 #49

You're welcome and don't ask questions you don't want answered and can't argue. TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #50

what a sad sad waste of a huge chunk of life for many Obama and Hillary haters. Sheepshank Oct 2015 #99

That's it. EXACTLY. People keep saying that these people will "come around" after the primary Number23 Oct 2015 #108

I completely agree....the board will not change in any significant manner Sheepshank Oct 2015 #109

The party isn't about your favorite corporate approved personalities and disapproval of their position TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #126

Should be parallel, no. I mean, imagine if a female President were addressed incorrectly and she merrily Oct 2015 #83

LOLZ...agreed TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #85

It's the distaff version of "Mr. President" or "Mr. Secretary." calimary Oct 2015 #89

No, the distaff version of "Mr. President" would be "Ms. President," which is my point. merrily Oct 2015 #93

You were the one who originally stated the premise as "Madame." calimary Oct 2015 #94
