The most appealing thing about Hillary Rodham Clinton has always been her enemies, who often seem not in their right mind, screaming that she is a murderer and calling her names like "Her Thighness." They make you want to like her.
Yet in interviews across the country with women of all ages, races, income brackets and points of view, one of the rare patches of common ground was skepticism about the first female presidential contender with a serious shot at the White House. Over 18 months, I traveled to 20 states listening to women speak at length about what they care about and what drives them crazy as they look toward the presidential election in '08. I ought to like her, many of the strongest Democrats among them said. But on no other matter did left, right and center converge as on the view best summed up as "Anybody but Hillary' – to the point that I began to dread the mention of her name, because it meant we would probably not get around to talking about anything else that day.
All of which runs contrary to the accepted narrative of this election cycle, which is that it is women who are leading the charge for Mrs. Clinton's candidacy. Polling, which at this point still mainly measures name ID, certainly shows a far more mixed picture for Mrs. Clinton where female voters are concerned; 51 percent of those who participated in a recent Washington Post-ABC News survey said they support her for the Democratic nomination.

Well said, well said. This is indeed a true, empirical observation.
That quote from the Cable Guy was originally spoken by John Lennon back in the early 60’s.
It’s all blind ambition; the flip-flopping proves it. She doesn’t have a plan of where she would take the country; rather she gets up every morning and looks at the polls to see what her positions are going to be that day just like Bill, because she wants the POWER! Anyone who wants the power that bad should never ever have it, as Bill’s presidency proves, a Hillary presidency would be a return to corruption, and national humiliation.
Women can spot a phony woman faster than men can.

It's not so much the 30 pounds (and I just lost 25 so I know about that) as it is the distribution, which is mostly around her hips and thighs, although she also has a prominent belly. And her legs are just not attractive - what the Japanese call "daikon legs" and I would call "piano legs" - beef to the instep.
But it's her personality that's the real problem. If she didn't behave like the Reptile Queen, folks would overlook her physical shortcomings.
Her voice is fake, her marriage is fake, her concern about the poor is fake, her loyalties are fake.
Just like her husband: everything she says and does is calculated and, well, not genuine.

I support her for the nomination...how idiotic is this poll?
“the guilt that many women expressed over their lack of enthusiasm for her.”
This is just idiotic. If I support a woman candidate over a man, should I as a man feel guilty?
I once worked with a man who had personal dealings with Hillary back when Bill was Governor of Arkansas, and he loathed her. Said she was a total bitch.
Women should absolutely make sure Hillary is not the nominee because it would set back any chance that a woman has of being President for a long time.
It’s not because men hate her. It’s not because they can’t stand her husband.
Here’s why.
Any way you look at it, Hillary is polarizing. If she gets into the White House every decision she makes or doesn’t make will be viewed in the extreme. She has no hope of a successful term as President because her real intentions have no hope of ever gaining acceptance. And she and her husband are a reminder of a lewd scene in American politics that most people would like to forget.
Americans are ready for a woman President. But she is not anywhere to be seen as yet. When she arrives we will know it. But Hillary ain’t her.
Authentic broom. Authentic cauldron. Authentic contract with the devil signed in blood.
They're also much better at putting those feelings on a shelf, or otherwise being in denial over them, for a precious window of time.
What was their first clue? fofl!
Authenticity? What the hell is that?
I got Hillary’s number when she made that nasty remark about staying home and baking cookies.
Accepted by whom, may I ask? I don't accept anything of the sort. Maybe the members of the MSM are spouting that bit of tripe, and are HOPING women will believe it.
One day, a few years ago, as this lady was leaving our house, I stood on the porch and made some comment about my friend moving to New York so she could vote for Hillary. She turned and yelled at me "don't mention that c****s name in my presence!"
Hahahaha! Actually I have much more respect towards my ex mother in law(God rest her soul), than I ever will of Hillary, that waste of "plumbing".
Oh, don’t you know, women are going for Fred T in droves because he’s cute and his ex girlfriends are supporting him, not to mention his ex wife. Didn’t you silly people read the article about how the women’s vote will go to Fred T? Sillies.
[A: Because women are much better at spotting phonies and disengenuous people than men are.]
Women are better at spotting disengenuous - calculating WOMEN than men are. As a woman I believe that.
