OMG, does she really believe she did not have advantages? Delusional...or just more lying?

1. That's insane.. she didn't think she'd be sitting on that stage right now.
She was promised something good when her husband's dirty laundry was aired.. these people are so far ahead of us.. yes tinfoil me or whatever.. how many people were called tinfoil, and it turned out correct.

2. Please let me know the advantages of being a woman candidate for President.
I'm sure there's a huge list you can rattle off by heart. I'd be delighted to hear.

9. Lying? Isn't that a bit irrational?
how is it a lie to say that all candidates are basically cut from the same cloth? It's true, you know. They're all well-connected, wealthy politicians, all vaguely Christian.

15. Hardly!
Not all are DLC members and/or corporatists. They're the ones who get media and DLC backing.

6. Yeah, she did. Pretty unbelievable, huh?
As if she'd even be in the Senate if she had a different last name.

8. Yeah... all are well educated, well groomed, rich and connected
with the exception of Obama, all are white. All are vaguely Christian. They have way more in common than not.

10. She also started with the greatest disadvantage: the media hate her
Think the media has influence? Ask Al Gore and John Kerry.

16. I wondered the same thing
That one is particularly hard to swallow. Yes, you have to fundraise like everyone else. Except everyone else doesn't come with a family rolodex of major donors with obligations to your family.
