MTP - don't you just love all these female 'pundits' discussing hillary & bill
Edited on Sun Oct-21-07 09:26 AM by spanone
what a pant load.

discussing 'hillary & bill'

'she's running on being first lady'

'role reversal for her and bill'

'co-dependency'

hillary was 'a victim in her marriage'

'voters don't want to go back to the 90's'

'her health care policy failures....blah blah blah...'



it's as if she's the ONLY candidate

this is just total bullshit.

1. I had to turn it off. Who the hell ever thought anyone would be interested
in what Kate O'berene (sp) has to say is beyond me.

It bothers me that they couch this whole discussion on how calculating Clinton is...as if no other candidate purposefully presents themselves a certain way. Every successful politician has a game-plan.

7. Bush is the most calculating politician out there.
Talk about false advertising. Product Bush is nothing like the product his team peddled to the public. Lots of us saw through the packaging, but 24% still believe Bush is a great man. God, I'm making myself :puke: just typing that.

3. Glad I have the tv turned off this morning. Although I will say it sounds like some members of DU
were on that panel.

8. Forgive me, but in this context, isn't the correct term
"Pundette?"

If I just started a new term, I want you all to remember where you heard it first.

10. See I saw/heard
Edited on Sun Oct-21-07 02:59 PM by JustAnotherGen
The same things. What is important? The average age of the Pundettes. They're my mom's age or there about (she's turning 60 next month) . . . they sound eerily similliar to she and many of her friends . . . Professional, college-educated women who've protested war (Vietnam), bucked the system by getting ahead in corporate America and are the 'oldest' of the Baby Boomer women.

We might not like the disparaging of a Democrat - but she sounds an awful lot like some life long female Democrats I know - they are all Hillary's 'peers'. And many of them? Just hate the Corporate Bullshit. They're done with it - or nearly done - and they view her as being 'owned'. I know my mom does.

That's something we have to consider. What her 'peers' think of her. The other women who went to college when it was still 'more acceptable' to have babies and get married right out of highschool in the early to mid 60's.

Let me reiterate - I don't like pundits disparaging ANY of our candidates. Okey dokey?

Quick Edit - she also has a big thing - well GRUDGE about Hillary having been a Goldwater Girl. She's adamant she can't be trusted because of that. Maybe some of the posters in that 60-something age group can pipe in . . . But she's gone even more to the left as she's gotten older. Being a Goldwater fan is just unforgivable to her.
