Hillary's only competition now is no one
No Democrat can beat her pandering to the corporations.

1. But make no mistake, HRC will lose to ANY republican opponent.
The trusty M$M will see to it! :evilgrin:

12. Keep repeating it, and your wish will come true.
Words do have power.

Personally, I'd prefer any of the current Democrats to any Republican, so I'll just say positive things that support my chosen candidate rather than give ammunition to Republicans by tearing down other Democrats (including Hillary.)

17. Tancredo? Yes. Keyes? No. Racism would trump sexism in the latter case. (NT)

8. Not so fast
My thoughts are that she has already had eight years in the White House and that is enough. Today in the NYT Frank Rich hit it right concerning H.R. Clinton-- she is the same old and we need a change.

9. I'm not commenting on the merits or de-merits of HRC, I'm
sick and tired of being told who the candidate is LONG before even the first primary has even happened.

Statements which speak as if it is a done deal.

They become self-fulfilling prophecies only if people swallow them.

11. "she has already had eight years in the White House"
I'm no HRC fan, but that is some fucked up logic right there.

13. I think the country needs a break from Clintons and Bushs
After 20 years of these 2 families our country needs some new ideas. If Hillary does get the nomination and is lucky enough to beat her Republican opponent, don't think the country won't be so sick and tired of these 2 families that we'll see to it that Hillary becomes a one term president.

I like Bill Clinton and thought he did a good job as president, besides some serious lapses of judgment. Hillary isn't gifted like Bill is. My standard for choosing a president requires more than supporting someone because I liked their spouse. If it wasn't for Bill, Hillary would be a high-powered attorney working in Arkansas. She's done nothing to impress me to the extent where I would consider her for the presidency.

15. It’s like this....
BushCo steals two presidential elections.

BushCo allow dems to take control of the House and Senate in ‘06 (We win just enough to be considered the majority, but not by enough to be veto proof).

We win enough to gain subpoena power, but BushCo can’t remember shit.

Blame for the war is now on dems laps.

BushCo doesn’t care about their party.

BushCo realizes the public would never believe a republican could win in ’08, so they get a corporate democrat, a corporate sweetheart.

I think Hillary will be our next president, even if Gore jumps in, becuase the people who fixed all the elections for the past decade or more will fix our primaries.

20. I don't own them... Go to Cafepress.com and search for "Hillary obey" and you'll find them..
and perhaps others you might like.

21. Ive already heard the "flip flop" term describing her position on the fence.
I will not believe that Americans will once again pick the candidate that could get beat by a republican in the general election. I don't want to see another general election played out like before, the term flip flop won an election last time and I hope it doesn't do it again. We need a candidate that will stand tall and speak what they stand for so we can win a general election on the issues instead of lose it because we are playing political word games.
