Hillary must be on an ego trip!

[Raven]

This is the latest from some analyst on Tweety. The reasoning goes...she doesn't like campaigning like Bill and she can't possibly be on a mission to help the country, so she must be on an ego trip. And, of course, he added that "many people" think that's her motivation.

Now, I Hillary is not my pick and I won't vote for her in the primary here in NH, but I will vote for her if she's the nominee. But these talking heads are shameless. I notice that they haven't said this about any of the guys running...probably because ego as a motive is expected.

2. I think this is one of those times

I am very compelled to say, "Well, DuH!", ...but I don't want to be rude. Instead, let's just say that... think about it, all politicians that run for the position have got to be very egotistical!
But some of them are such savvy speakers, so smooth in their syrupy "salvation for America" songs, reaping major rounds of redemption, they hope, from the voters, that you forget they are harboring the highest form of conceit.

4. Well thank god for the conceit or no one would take that crappy job.

3. IOW, an ambitious woman is a very bad thing.

Scares boys, and women who have been taught that other women are their competition.

9. She's "aggressive." Can't have that. nt

5. Wah ! wah! Please.Bidens "ego"is de constructed regularly and what has been said about

Edwards and Obama is too nasty to even repeat, and Hillary's being called "egotistical" is being whined about, and some think it is because she is a "woman"? Get real. Apparently no one is allowed to mention any aspect of Hillary without it somehow being sexist.If she looks good it is "sexist" If she looks "bad", its sexist.If she is noticed at all its "sexist".I would be really happy if no one ever mentioned her again, I am so tired of this.It is somehow okay to insult all out male candidates on everything from accents to wardrobe and hairstyles yet comments about Hillary are not allowed. Apparently it is "sexist" to even have an election. How "dare" these males even run against her.They should "courteously " back away.It is "impolite " of them to treat her as an equal candidate.They must all be "sexist" Gag me with a spoon.Of course she is egocentric.So what.She has to have an ego.She wants to be President for god's sake. They all do. She will never get my vote but I am really sick of this stupid condemnation of everyone who dares to even mention Hillary.

11. You call endorsers of Hillary senile. You are worthy of condemnation.

And every time you bitch about being unfairly accused as a Hillary hater we have 6 months of your unending bile to google.

13. I would have posted this about any candidate if

a talking head had stated that they were running only because of ego and not because they thought they could do some good for the country. So far I've only heard this comment related to HC. Didn't mean to spike your blood pressure!

6. ANY person who runs for Prez MUST have a hugh ego!

The dumbass talking heads already know that! I guess this is just pick on Hillary day AGAIN!

7. Since your in NH...

The M$M says HRC is in the lead in NH. I don't get it? Raven, is this a geographical thing or an elitist thing? Can you provide a little insight why polled NH folks like her???

IMO, she has as much chance as Michael Dukakis had --- none! I can't fathom how some Dems see her as electable. Out here in the NW, maybe...only 1 in 10 Dems (I know) like her or want her as pres.

And BTW, I agree w/your concern about the talking heads!

[Raven]

12. Don't trust NH polls. They are notoriously inaccurate.

People up here lie to the pollsters, it's the state's favorite pastime. Most people I know have not made up their minds yet.

[Captain Hilts]

8. She isn't my pick, either. But this kind of crap about her drives me nuts. nt

10. GWB had to be arm-wrestled to campaign in 2000. nt

14. Someone should remind Tweety

that ALL politicians are ego driven or they wouldn't be running for president. The problem with Tweety is that it's OK for a man to show that he's hungry for the job, but it's unseemly in a woman.

Why is this idiot still considered a journalist? Even calling him a pundit is an insult to the other pundits who have an inch of brains!!!!
