It's not the Clinton Fatique.


Okay, maybe the fact that some people don’t support Hillary has to do with the fact that Bill has already been president.

But the most damning reason some people are not supporting Hillary Clinton is because she didn’t care for American tradition. She was one of the most politically involved first lady, tradition be damned. She is as power hungry as any male politician who will fight dirty to get the top job, tradition be damn.
She doesn’t mind relying on her husband to fight for her if it could get the job done, traditional feminism be damned. She is basically a fierce fighter, and she is divisive to any traditional American who wants the first lady to shut up and look pretty, she is divisive to any feminist who thinks that being a feminist means she would divorce her husband’s ass if he cheats, and that a feminist would never rely on her husband to get her job done.

She is divisive because she will probably be the first female president and will continue to be hated by a lot of people who are self righteous about their own agenda.

2. I thought she was divisive because she plants questions in event audiences.
Just like the Chimp.

5. I don't hate her
I have a few problems with a few of her votes.But I can say that for many of our leaders.
Being a Y chromosome doesn't make her any more or less qualified than being an African American X chromosome.
We need to stop labeling our candidates.sexism,racism fucking ism's :rant:

6. And maybe, just maybe, some of us don't support her because...
we think Obama is the superior candidate and will be a better President. I know, that's hard to grasp, for some people.

Women don't get places by always following tradition.

Maybe you just hoped to start a thread that ends in a fight. I don't know. But you're posting seems to be all angry tone without much substance.

Lighten up!

9. NO. Tradition has nothing to do with it. Hillary Clinton is a liar.
She has proven it time and time again and it's the main reason I can't support her.

10. Oh, what horseshit.
I can't believe you're sitting there subscribing to all of these "shoulds" for women. This is very "feminist in name only." Isn't it MY business if I divorce his ass if he cheats? Isn't it MY business the way I run my life? Isn't it feminist of a woman to be a fierce fighter?

I don't even know why I'm responding to this poorly thought out drivel, to tell the truth.

15. I like the fighter in her
I'm one of the few who first was against her because her husband had been president. When I read "She is as power hungry as any male politician who will fight dirty to get the top job, tradition be damn." I don't see this as a bad thing. A president should be able to fight tooth and nail, hammer and tong, to get her agenda--our agenda--fulfilled.

I just think Obama's more electable.
