Hillary's got bigger balls.
Push come to shove, Hillary versus Obama, she's the bigger man.
In a knock-down, drag-out fight, toe to toe, she's got more backbone and pure piss and vinegar than he ever thought of having.
And that's not a criticism.
If we're going to put it in terms of who can take the call at 3 a.m., and it's a call that requires America to stand up on its hind legs and lay the smack down on somebody, you better have Hillary holding the phone.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a conservative Republican. I'm not going to vote for her. But if you're going to be in a bar fight and you have to take either Hillary or Obama, you'd do better to have her at your back.
He talks pretty, but she's cussed ornery.
And in a world where Vladimir Putin and the Communist Chinese are rolling in dough and spending most of it on their military – and you don't have John McCain – you better have Hillary Clinton.
The woman is a fighter.
That's become obvious in recent days as the Clinton and Obama campaigns have decided to take off the gloves. She's finally going to point out that the only thing he's ever run is his mouth and he's going to remind us all about the Rose law firm and cattle futures. The time has arrived when they each are going to have to show how much they want it.
And thus far their performance has been telling.
He's looked mad enough to scratch her eyes out. She's looked mad enough to snap his neck.
And that's the difference between them. When it came time to man up, she did it better than he did. And among all the traits a president has to have, a streak of ruthlessness is essential. There are times a president has to be able to look somebody – or some nation – in the eye and tell them that he's going to rip off their head and crap down their neck.
Barack Obama will never be that president.
Not if this campaign has been an indication.
He gets to be president of the debate club, but when we're picking members of the kick-'em-in-the-crotch club, Hillary's the choice.
Let me repeat: I'm not a Democrat. I'm a conservative Republican. I'm voting for McCain. I hope he wins. I will work as hard as I can to make sure he wins.
But if he loses, I want my country to be safe.
If he loses, I want the Democrat who wins to be able to fill the shoes without leaving the United States with its pants down around its ankles. And though – as a conservative – I hate just about everything Hillary has ever done politically, and she is just about the personification of everything that is grating and dangerous about liberalism, still, she's got grit.
If ever the country needs somebody to go in a room with some tin-horn loudmouth and threaten to rip his you-know-whats off, she's our girl.
If we can be honest, half of America thinks Hillary is a harpy witch. She is a cold-hearted, calculating she-devil.
Put another way, she's John McCain with swollen ankles.
And nobody will mess with America while John McCain is in charge.
And if John McCain doesn't get to be in charge, as a fall back, Hillary is head and shoulders above Obama. He's a teddy bear, she's a mama bear.
Hopefully the Democrats will realize that, and realize how important that is. Hopefully the Democrats will realize that, of their remaining candidates, one will invite challenges from our adversaries and the other will have the potential to stare those adversaries down.
Here's how I figure.
Hillary is a woman, or at least she used to be. Like many women rising to new levels of responsibility, she is going to feel a need to demonstrate that being a woman is not a liability. If she is like half the women in the corporate world, she is going to take the head off the first person to step on her toes. She will feel that she has to demonstrate how tough she is and that being a woman does not make her soft.
It's too bad that it's that way, but it is that way.
So, if she becomes president, the first international joker to challenge her authority or prestige is going to get smacked in the head. She will probably be less tolerant of such shenanigans and challenges than a man would be.
Obama, on the other hand, is on his I'll-talk-to-anybody kick. He has campaigned on the play-nice platform and denounced American military action til he's blue in the face. This guy is painting himself into the patsy corner. In the face of a challenge, he is going to want to prove that his sunshine-and-smiles approach works and will choose ankle grabbing over saber rattling every time.
That's not an acceptable dynamic.
Between those two, Hillary will be perceived by foreign powers as the stronger of the two and Obama will be seen as the weaker of the two. And weakness invites challenge.
Again: We need McCain. The Indians are hiding in the tall grass and right now the world's dimwits and despots are lining up for a chance to beard the American lion. Being taken to the mat by a bunch of towel heads in Iraq and Afghanistan has convinced everybody from Iran to Russia to Venezuela and China that we are a paper tiger that can be openly and impudently challenged.
The next president is going to have to change that. The next president is going to have to have some brass.
John McCain has that brass.
Barack Obama doesn't.
Hillary Clinton is somewhere in the middle. She's not quite a McCain, but she's a heck of a lot better than an Obama.
You'll see that in this fight for the nomination. She's going to be ruthless and unrelenting. She's going to prove that she's a scrapper.
She's going to prove she's got bigger balls than Obama.
No one wants another clinton era. And that is her biggest problem. Besides all the scandals at that time
Putting Hillary in the White House also brings Bill back. We already had to fumigate the place once.... why do it again?
Yeah, sure just like her husband "protected" us from bin Laden and his repeated attacks. Hillary will be no different in that regard. She, like her husband, will see foreign policy as just an extension of domestic policy. She will rely on focus groups and polls to decide what to do. And the dirty money the Clintons have been receiving from the Chinese for almost two decades will influence our policy there along with the influence bought by contributors to Bill's foundation and international business deals.
Well,she does date better looking women than Obama.
Well put, unfortunately there are lots of individuals on this board pretending to be conservatives, who are Clintons enablers like the idiot above who pretends to be a "conservative" but getting multiple clintonoorgasms about Hillarys balls.
You are very funny. I think this country needs to look and Listen to President Hillary for 4 years to cure it of it’s socialist addiction. She comes off as a devil woman and drives many people mad. Exactly what We need. Someone who is (appears as) pure evil.
Obama can't even get his wife to shut up. The same thing was going on with Kerry.
How do these clowns expect to “negotiate” with dictators when they can't even do it with their wives.
Not just Bill!
Remember Hugh “get in me belly” Rodham and the pardons for profit business he ran - while residing in the White House??
Do I think we remember how Hugh refused to move out until the day before or of the inauguration? Remember all those jokes about U Hauls?
Tony Rodham and Roger Clinton- 2 more frequent house guests.
Eeewww to the prospect of all of that again.
Maybe if we just gave them the free silverware, they would go away.
LOL! Just wondering when someone would say Hillary (not to mention Bill) dated more women of color than Obama!
The marooon who wrote this hasn’t considered the Chicago-shiv-in-the-back factor.
You people mark my words: if this ‘Rat primary fight turns *realy* dirty, it is far more likely that Hiliarly will be having a re-union with Vince Foster than it is for Obama to meet up with the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. at that cosmic corner store.
I think Bob Lonsberry is correct... I’ve been been saying the same thing for months. But when it comes to the war on terror, she might well be tougher than McCain as well. Not only would she want to show she had bigger balls than any male president, she would have the political freedom to act, where McCain may not...
She must know that in a role of CIC, if she was perceived as weak she would be the LAST woman president for the next 200 years.
No way that either of these 2 posers get to the WH, God willing.
A boob with two nuts or a nut with two boobs. Take your choice.
Amen to that.
ROFL..that is too funny!
Along with all her Dixie Mafia friends and formerly-White-House-basement operatives.
With Obama's pal Rezko on trial and the spotlight focused here on Chicago's "pay-to-play" politics of both Rezko and his pal Blagojevich the Governor, that "Chicago-shiv-in-the-back" factor may be blunted.
“The woman is a fighter.”
Vincent Foster found that out the hard way.
But I agree, she’s preferable to Obama.
I’m just sayin’ friend,
Well a hush fell over the convention floor,
When Hill come boppin’ off the street
And when the cuttin’ was done
The only part that wasn’t bloody was the soles of the big beast’s feet
She was cut in ‘bout a hundred places
And she was shot in a couple more
And you better believe they sung a different kind of story
When big Hill was carried out that door...
(w/apologies to the late Jim Croce)
She’s met her match in Michelle Obama who wears the pants in the Obama family.
