Hilary for Hilary

Hillary Clinton / AP

It's your choice:


I have not been weighing in on the presidential race because I knew that it would just be months of stupidity and unearthing of horrid, awful things like Obama's reverend, and I didn't want to give the stupidity even more credence by adding to the banter.

And I've listened to that chick on The View go on and on and on about how Obama obviously can't be president because he sat in the congregation of this man and therefore must believe his beliefs.

Okaaaay.  There is really only one way to factor this whole thing into your choice of president.  Think about the relative in your family that rants and raves and goes off and is generally embarrassing and then say to yourself ... does that mean I BELIEVE everything he/she says?

Of course not.  End of that stupidity.

And now that Hilary has proven that she doesn't believe in democracy but in Hilary, and that she has no idea what it means to quit (we've already got one of those, stay in a war until the end of time, just as long as it's not on HIS dime) I think it's safe to say she would not make a very good president.  You have to know when to stand back and examine the situation from a distance.  You have to understand that there will be times when you won't get what you want, but that's okay, and there's probably a reason for it.

She has already proven that she listens to no one.  She is not a representative of this country.  She is spending millions and millions of dollars -- she's like a mad woman at the craps table in Las Vegas ... she is losing millions of dollars, but every once in awhile she wins some back ... so that in of itself proves to her that she has to keep going.

We don't want a rabid gambler running our country.   We need a little sanity  -- no, that's not true, we need BUCKET LOADS of sanity right now.

We have a black man and a woman running for president when we've never had either.  In addition to that, we have a candidate that won't bow out graciously for the better of the party because she truly feels she is the better candidate.  It's her utter lack of common sense that concerns me.  Even Al Gore only "fought" to retain his win for five weeks before graciously conceding to George Bush.

Hilary has lost perspective and she needs to chill.  She needs to walk away from the table and immerse herself in a week-long bubble bath and remember there is more to life than campaigning for the presidency.    I truly believe that she thinks that all the qualities she is exhibiting -- bullheadedness, tenacity, hoarse-voiced calls to save America -- are the qualities that are essential to being a good president.  

I say they are all qualities that are good in equal measure with a smattering of common sense, open-mindedness, humility, compassion ...

There is a time to fight and there is a time to stop fighting.  She thinks she has nothing to lose and everything to win.

Who is she thinking about?

Hee hee -- I was using my media-skills to manipulate by using those two photos. Had I wanted to sway the other way, I would have found one of Obama looking like a lunatic and Hilary like a strong and powerful shemale.
