No... people are voting for her because she's not a Republican not because she's a woman.

Lol, just like people voted for Obama because he's not Bush? Uh-huh ... riiiight. His ethnicity had nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Yes, but think of HISTORY! It'll be so historic. He's an African-American. And did you miss he's an African American, and why do you hate blakcs? Are you racist? Aren't you going to vote for him. It's time we put America's racist past behind her, and he's a BLACK MAN!!

Vote for Obama. If you don't, you hate African Americans because you're racist.

Nope, I don't see the media dusting off that campaign for the first woman president at all.

So you say. I think the pool there is much better than Hillary unless they go back to Jeb.

And that's why you don't understand why people aren't voting for her just because she's a woman.

I would like to add to these posts , If this country lasts until 2016....plenty of time for change...

All these wonderful posts, and someone besides yours truly
is living in the (oh GOD not) now. I also feel there's a lot of
wiggle and shakeout room left in the next 19 or so months
to make the vote for another president so much back burner.

I just hope the gas line is tight and all the pilots stay lit on the
appliances.... I saw Fight Club too, and it ain't pretty.

The US is a political pot of boiling dog peat right now-- wait
till March of next year, right before the Iowa Caucuses when
it starts warming up and getting juicy/stinky. Like I said, long
before then we could have another 'catalyzing event'....

EDIT: It would be kind of nice to watch this thread morph into a
long chronicle of a failed electoral system as applied to US' less-ons.
I incidentally count myself as politically less than a moron.^

You noticed the irony too, Ketsuko? Like the guy most likely to
excel at the job of POTUS by virt of his resume is also about the
last guy I want to see on Penn Avenue? AMNESTIAAaa.

I'm admittedly pretty conservative.

But Hillary Clinton is as corrupt as they get.

You don't even have to be conservative to see that.

Seems we're going to wind up going back to old rich white dudes, or an old rich white woman who is even worse?

Seriously?

I mean, Really?

I wish the votes mattered- then at least we might have a chance.

I'm sure everyone is familiar with the Hillary Clinton Applause Signal (c). When you want the audience to cheer, you RAISE YOUR VOICE on the last three words of a sentence, then wait for applause. Now that we know, let me tell you why I will vote for Hillary.

I'll vote for Hillary because she will support a person's RIGHT TO CHOOSE! *

I'll vote for Hillary because she will support THE MIDDLE CLASS! **

I'll vote for Hillary because she will CREATE MORE JOBS! ***

I'll vote for Hillary because she will be the most TRANSPARENT PRESIDENT EVER! ****

I'll vote for Hillary because undocumented immigrants need a PATH TO CITIZENSHIP! *****

-----------------

Disclaimers:

* As long as they choose to marry someone of the same sex or have an abortion. Not so much if you choose to own a gun, decide not to buy insurance, or choose to run your business the way you want.

** Just as soon as they become upper class.

*** By changing the way unemployment figures are calculated.

**** She will not mask her hatred when she pursues whistle-blowers that expose government corruption.

***** Because we don't seem to currently have any paths to citizenship for immigrants.

-----------------

Seriously, though. How can anyone say they will vote for Hillary Clinton at this time? Has she announced any positions? Made any campaign promises, yet?

I get it. There's four SCOTUS seats most likely going to be needing to be filled by the next POTUS. I get it. There's not a prospective Republican candidate that doesn't make my skin crawl. But can the rhetoric be dialed down a million until the primaries?

Literally most of the messages are... suck it up liberals and vote for Hillary... !@#$%^&*

Save us Bernie!

I hear you Kali.

But Hillary may be the only one that can pull it off - the cost may be high (as it seems to be with dynasties).

Besides the Supreme Court argument, there is another I heard today that struck me as pretty savvy.

This will be the most expensive Presidential race in history and, I hope, the most expensive ever. The Democrats can't afford to have a substantial primary and have any hope of having the necessary funds to mount a winning final campaign.

Another one, a rather hopeful one in a twisted way, is that the republicans are afraid of Ms Clinton and are amassing a huge war chest to defeat her. Why are they so afraid?

With regards to Bernie and Lizzie. Honestly we need them in the Senate, we need them fighting regressive legislation and challenging it in public as they do now. One of them is often the only source 'We the People' have for what is going on it that 'august' body.

Now, Dennis Kucinich could run against Hillary in the primaries to force her into speaking on issues of real import to the 'commons' (you and me) and might help push her into a more populous stance.

I do agree that we need to hear from the Left in this election - if for no other reason then to propose rational solutions to issues that the Right likes to harp on but does nothing about. The Rights agenda is very clear.

I find the lack of civilized discourse distressing. You can't have a disscussion between Right and Right Lite (Clintonian Trianglulation).

Vote you heart in the primaries but Vote the lessor of evils in Election.

as a little side rant --- I'm sick to death of 'electioneering' 24/7, year in and year out. Two months, fully funded by the public and done. Elected Servants should serve not campaign.

Hey there's Ted Cruz - whiter then white Cuban.

I hear you and the logic and totally agree about campaigning. If I could believe that she would actually take a populist stance once elected instead of just mouthing the words... I'd be willing to risk my vote. I just don't believe her and worse I think it's rather shtty that she's taking Bernie's words. That pisses me off to no end. We already know Wall Street will fight to keep Bernie down and his battle was uphill already. It's just enraging to see the people fall for it yet again. The SCOTUS issue is huge but I don't know that she would do any better than any bozo on the GOP side. She's a Conservative Republican at the core with a side of women's rights. So ultimately liberals have a shot at restoring full reproductive rights through SCOTUS... but what will we lose?

I am literally miserable today and it's because of the tone my own side of the fence (or the closest to me at least) is taking. "You have to, the stakes are too high".

There isn't a 'good' solution.

But it may come down to, in fact probably will, Hillary or some republican fanatic.

It's that or, Ralph Nader's suggestion, the "Unstoppable" collalition of Right and Left in an anti-corporate alliance.

But that requires adults...

I plan on voting for her because she's a better candidate. The fact that she's not Republican helps.

Better than WHAT? Only Jeb, maybe.

She is driving and stopping at fast food joints along the way to make us think she is a normal everyday person. Someone who is that good at deception will probably become president.

Why do people in this country vote for people that they know are not trustworthy. It is like we are trying to elect the best liar.

Its called the idiot factor ..

And that's why you don't understand why people aren't voting for her just because she's a woman.

If one is to vote for her because of her accomplishments, the we have to say that she is successful.
She road her husband's coattails to the Arkansas governor's house, then the White House, then she bought a Senate seat in a state that she never really lived in. She took the Secretary of State appointment as a political payoff and raised a ton of money there for the 'Foundation'. She is a consummate liar (politician).
Yes, she is awesome.

Hillary Clinton’s Facebook Page Got Thousands of Likes Within Minutes
At the time of this writing, the page has 529,512 likes, and the number grows every minute.
www.nationaljournal.com...

The difference between Democrats and Republicans is demonstrated by the fact that Hillary Clinton was able to pile up 500,000 Facebook likes in the 15 minutes after her new page was launched compared to the 166,000+ that Jeb Bush has gotten since 2012.

Clinton’s Facebook page received just over 470,000 likes within 10 minutes of launching. At the time of this writing, the page has 499,254 likes. A Facebook spokesperson said the page launched concurrently with Clinton’s announcement, which means it began with zero likes.

Topping the page is a link to Clinton’s official campaign website and her announcement video, Clinton’s announcement video, which has already garnered more than 13,000 likes.
