“On that note, I’m open and willing to do what we need to do to change this nation’s direction in order to preserve it’s future for our children. If it was just for me, I wouldn’t be bothering. I guess that’s what makes the struggle different for conservatives. Our reasons for being here for most of us are “Not about me”, but for others we care for.”
That is exactly why I’m here. For my 18 yo daughter, my young nieces and nephews that are in the public school system and my mom. I’m worried for my family being able to make it in a country ran by our current crop of Democrats.
Back to Hillary, I just read on tmz.com that she’s going to listen to her handlers and start dressing more feminine.

Good. I hope she keeps taking that advice. It will only highlight the extent to which she, like Gore and Kerry, lacks authenticity and sense of self. People value that, even if subconsciously. It's uncomfortable being around someone who never settles in to being themselves.
The constant superficial tinkerings are jarring; much more unsettling to the populace at large than any failures of stylishness. IMHO, the much-maligned pantsuit is at least consistent and signals some level of confidence and sense of self. Her handlers cannot succeed in making her look stylish and feminine. They will only make her look vain and flighty.
And her face. She has no one to blame but herself (and her handlers) for the petty criticisms about her wrinkles and sags. By alternately showing up one day all dewy-faced and taut, then the next day wrinkled and haggard, she underscores the startling contrast, practically demanding the difference be noted. If she'd simply decided on one or the other--a real 60 year old woman subject to the same laws of gravity as the rest of the world, or air-brushed ingenue--she'd have been much better off. Just pick a look already. She's like a strobe light giving everyone a headache.
On the other hand, maybe her handlers DO know what they're doing. Obsessive attention to her appearance du jour does keep the focus off what she's actually saying, which is far more off-putting than a dowdy pantsuit or crepey skin.
