The latest is that she's going to announce this weekend. Ugh.

Yeah. Saw an article on that. It referred to her "life of public service."

Huh?

Public service my backside. Self-service is the watch word.

Better Hillary than Elizabeth Warren.  Hillary isn't a true believer.

I know, so that means we will either get her or one of the republiclowns for our next president.

I hope Webb has enough balls to run against her.

I would say the opposite. In a Hillary vs generic Republican contest, barring a scandal too large for her to overcome (and there hasn't been one yet, even though any of her recent scandals would have sunk an "R"), Hillary will get many more "undecided", fence-sitting, and Independent votes than Warren ever could.

I would like to be wrong. I would like to think her baggage is too much for a presidential race. The common voter though, has shown me that at least for now, that doesn't seem to be the case. We'll see how things look this time next year I guess.

I am not as afraid of Hillary. Maybe I am being fooled but I am getting too much dislike from within her party. From chromosome limited people

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I don't think so.  The press doesn't seem to like her. *  Many, many women (at least the ones I know) can't stand her.  And for a laundry list of reasons.   She may get the nomination, but she won't win.  Too much baggage and too much anti-Hillary/Clinton sentiment out there.


*  Note how quickly they dumped her for Obama.  Should someone more leg tingly then Hillary choose to jump in, they sink her again, just like they did in 2008.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Low information voters go to whoever they like more as a person. That silly "would I want to have a beer with them" thing. Hillary is a shrill, graceless, vile harpy. No one from the mushy middle will vote for her.

Hillary's baggage is bad enough, but when I think of President Clinton's baggage added to it, I would just be flabbergasted if she gets much traction.

Show how feminist you are by voting for the woman who stood by her man after he raped multiple women and used his power to silence them!

And their criteria for having a beer with them or not is "who's paying for the beers?"
