Thank you!
It seems even so many conservatives are enamored of Hillary that they cannot see this woman isn't the threat she's been made out to be. At least not on her own. She's a fighter, I'll give her that much. Isn't enough. She isn't likeable, she is a poor speaker, she's dependant on her husband's name to get anywhere, and while she may be as smart as the average person on the street, the real brains are the ones that have surrounded the Clinton's.
Now it could be said the last is a complaint registered against Bush. The problem is that in Hill's case it happens to be true. She has drive, ambition and instincts for survival. She attached herself to the movers and shakers of the Liberal movement from youth to middle age. She's no more, no less, a parasite.
Cut off the Clinton name. Cut off Clinton's top advisors. And she has nothing. If ever there was proof of this it is in their need to monitor her every speech and every movement. Bush speaks off the cuff and proves quick witted. She speaks off the cuff and we get memorable moments like "We have a right to debate and to disagree with any administration!!"
I will admit that I believe Bill Clinton to be intelligent. Not the smartest man in the world, but I do believe he's far more intelligent than she. Clnton's main fault is that he is driven to excess. Vanity.
Anyway, I'm not surprised the Libs are ticked off at Clinton. he spent the last week making a fool of himself across the world. This in comparison to Bush who quietly illustrated grace and strength. Bill hurts Hillary's chances. And yet, it would hurt Hill to not have Bill. She's be nothing without the name. It's an interesting dilimma for them.

I agree. They are actually two parts of one person. They would be nothing without the other. But Bill is very brilliant in some ways and has a seductive charm. Hillary is mean but much more tenacious and ambitious. If he had her talents at plain old gutter fighting and tenacity and ruthlessness, he would have been a great president I do believe. But he is impulsive, self centered, vain and has poor judgement, needs to be admired constantly and can't keep focus. She kept him in control when she was around. But she has far less to go with than he does.
I don't think Bubba's motives need all that analyzing - he's just a mean f*cker.
