Hill: It's Madame Prez time
New York Daily News ^ | April 12, 2005 | Rush & Molloy

Posted on 04/12/2005 12:23:18 PM PDT by presidio9

Sen. Hillary Clinton has been in politics long enough enough to know that polls can be misleading.

So she told us yesterday that, despite a recent survey that indicated only 68% of men would be willing to vote for a female president, she thinks the time is right.

"It depends on the woman," she said at the New York Women in Communications Matrix Awards luncheon yesterday at the Waldorf-Astoria. Indeed, the New York legislator may very well be that woman on the 2008 Democratic ticket.

Cristiane Amanpour agreed.

"I feel Americans will be ready to empower a woman."

And CBS' Lesley Stahl added, "It's always distressed me that in macho places in Europe and Asia the parliamentary system can produce women prime ministers but somehow our system can't manage that."

Oprah Winfrey exclaimed: "That's about how women see other women. Do we see ourselves as capable and strong? I'm going to have to change this!"

And you know that she will.

This woman will say and do anything to become president...lately the MSM has been saying she's "moving from left to center"...Ha! She and her media partners are just saying what she thinks will get her elected. Campaign speeches can be carefully crafted to promise everything and nothing...and then once in office, she will proceed to do exactly what she always intended.

This person must never become president. Any news on potential Republican candidates of merit? We're gonig to need a strong candidate to battle this particular evil.

Problem is: we need someone to vote FOR.

As the Dems showed last round, voting AGAINST someone doesn't get you very far.

presidio9 used a semi colon

"....distractions anyway: The Christian Right..."

Meaning her Heinous will use distractions such as the Christian right will blah, blah, blah, seek to hold women back, blah, blah, blah.

Maybe so. Just not YOU, Hillary.

I just posted an article from the Hill saying Newt was thinking of Running. Here is my reaction to that! Dramatic Death WE NEED SOMEONE BETTER!

Hillary must NOT become President.

Better her than some RINO who'll pursue all of the same policies but with none of the opposition she'd get.

People shouldn’t kid themselves into thinking she can’t win. She can.

It’s really not that hard… all it will take is a reasonably strong 3rd party candidate. She’ll get 42% just for showing up. A third party candidate who comes out strong on immigration and right to life could easily get 10% of the vote. Especially since the MSM will give them a complete free pass because they know that’s what gets Hillary in.

I would say her chances in ’08 are at least 50-50… probably better.

"Hillary must NOT become President."

AMEN to that!!
She won't be able to keep up the "moderate" facade very long, and she will go back to being the shrill, shrieking old harridan that she is. A couple of years of hearing that voice over and over spouting her Marxist diatribe will cure this country of EVER wanting a woman president.

Hillary could not keep her husband in line... how on earth would she govern a country?

Simple . . . Hillary wasn't willing to screw Bill but she is more than willing to screw all of us.

If the majority of people vote for one conservative candidate or another, and the Republicans retain control of Congress, then if she wins she'd be a lame-duck President for her entire term. She wouldn't be able to claim a mandate, and Congress wouldn't give her an inch of slack.

Is Hillary really a woman? I think if we are going to discuss her, the discussion should be about whether this country is ready for a transgender or hermaphrodite president.

=====
She could not. She is TOTALLY unqualifed. And how the nightmarish idea of her as Commander-In-Chief? My stomach turns at the thought of that anti-military Marxist witch even getting close to our military and our national secrets.

The idea of the Marxist Medusa even getting near the White House is beyond any sane comprehension. Let's just find her a few more girlfriends and send her on her way, please!!!!

I fear that, that there is some tacit arrangement with the administration to help Hillary get into the white house.

I think presidio was saying that Hillary will turn the election into a male v. female thing so that if conservatives oppose her, she can say it's because they are against women. I don't think presidio was saying that Chrisitans actually want to subjugate women but say instead saying that Hillary will use such an idea to her advantage. If a Christian attacks Hillary on an issue, all she'll have to do (if she gets her way, and you know the MSM will help her do it) is say that she's only being attacked on that issue because she's a woman, and suddenly the right looks bad and Hillary avoids answering on the issues.

I wish I had enough faith in a GOP controlled congress to believe that.

no way. our congress voted 97-3 for Ruth Bader Ginsburg for SCOTUS. Is that an example of "not giving an inch"?

Don't tell me Hillary wouldn't get anything done as president, our senators would roll over for anything she wanted.
