I am a Hillary Fan. She is a woman destined to become one of the greatest world leaders ever. She is Betsy Ross sewing on stars, George Washington in a pants suit, possibly her face may be on a coin someday or the first woman on Mt. Rushmore. America would be blessed to have her for President.

I think she has a few historical precedents in her advantage, although I have to wonder about her voting record and campaign issues.

From the historical viewpoint, it's been theorized that women make better leaders, although I think individual values and morals are a better indicator. I still believe that if she really were a forward-thinking senator (and had the intimate knowledge of the current administration's methods and tactics), she could have questioned the administration's "intelligence" before the Iraq war began. The fact that she joined the "they gave us false info, so we can't be blamed" bandwagon (in my opinion) should be considered before voting for her.

Still, I think she would invite a refreshing change into the government's daily affairs. The fact that she did help in the universal health-care thing is a deciding factor; despite its failure, she does have the experience and knowledge to do it right in the future.

And we have another fruitcake listening to her poison. She will want to tax the people to death, her administration will hurt businesses, hurt the military, put us under bondage to radical Islam, and penalize every America that makes something of themselves financially as one more despicable person making their wealth at the hands of the poor. I lived through her husbands reign of terror. I know their agenda and what they want. It will be a very black time for America if this female gets the Whitehouse. In her mind, and that of her cronies, the Americans that own weapons are the ones from whom the terrorists get their weapons. Never mind what the truth is, her agenda is her agenda for people to not have weapons of their own for any reason. No truth can be used, it must all be their point of view as bring the only truth possible. She is a poison to America that we can do without. Only the naive, the foolish, and those who agree with her agenda will vote for her.

Not me! She is a shrill socialist person that will say anything for a vote. She isn't "moderate" and is such a flop-flopper already. Is she Kerry, part 2?

Right now she is claiming to run a clean campaign that talks about the issues but, through part of her camp, she attacks Obama. If that is "clean" and dealing with the issues, I'd hate to see a dirty campaign.

I will never vote for her. But then, I won't vote of Obama (inexperience) or Edwards either (leftist).

Lets not forget Hillary , her ties to the black Panther movement ,and a murder she was tied to at that time ,and also the uncovering $100,000 in profits made in her brief late-1970s ownership of a commodities trading account, and smaller gains from a questionable real estate investment. In increasing bizarre claims, Clinton was once believed to be connected to the Russian mob, and was allged that Vince Foster's suicide was actually a murder, with Clinton herself perhaps pulling the trigger. Millions of tax dollars were spent investigating , Clinton's part was never proven due to lack of evidence In reality, there is nothing in Clinton's political positions that could even be described as particularly liberal. Along with Bob Graham, Joseph Lieberman, and Ben and Bill Nelson, he is a member of the Democratic Leadership Council, the group that urges Democrats to take the least progressive, mildest, comfortable-as-corduroy political positions.
She supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq,and has opposed any timetable for ending the occupation

Not to mention her membership to the New Democratic Movement Shall I go on here....please read
New Democrat Movement
GROUP

The right wing current of the Democratic party, characterized by its neoliberal economic policies, support of Israel, desire to increase defense spending, and links to heavy donors and fundraisers.
Believes that "left-wing" positions are not politically viable. Describes itself as "moderate and pro-growth". Probably responsible for erosion of the Democratic Party's historical labor and minority base due to support of treaties like NAFTA, lack of support for affirmative action and poverty programs, and their siphoning away of campaign funds from minority groups.
At the national level, the movement was founded by the Democratic Leadership Council (501c4 educational non-profit, founded 1984) and includes the House New Democrat Coalition (founded 1997), the Senate New Democrat Coalition (founded 2000), the New Democrat Network PAC (founded 1996), the misnamed Progressive Policy Institute (501c4 think tank, "Bill Clinton's idea mill", founded 1989), and the umbrella funding group The Third Way Foundation (501c3 non-profit, founded 1996).
Since coming to power within the Democratic Party with Bill Clinton's presidency, the New
Democrats/DLC have worked towards "essentially the same purpose as the Christian Coalition...to pull a broad political party dramatically to the right" according to John Nichols of The Progressive. Corporate contributors to the DLC and New Democratic Network include Bank One, Citigroup, Dow Chemical, DuPont, General Electric, Health Insurance Corporation of America, Merrill Lynch, Microsoft, Philip Morris, RJR Nabisco, Chevron, Prudential Foundation, Amoco Foundation, AT&T, Morgan Stanley, Occidental Petroleum, Raytheon, and many other Fortune 500 companies.

The New Democrat Movement is sometimes referred to as the Dixiecrat movement due to their desire to get rid of affirmative action, and their membership's overwhelming whiteness.

"[Democrats should] shift the primary focus from racism, the traditional enemy without, to self-defeating patterns of behavior [among blacks]" --Chuck Robb, 2nd DLC Chairman, Governor & Senator of the Great State of Virginia, White Man, 1986.

"Democrats for the Leadership Class" --Jesse Jackson, progressive black Democrat, describing the DLC.

All of this , and higher taxes ...yes ,she has my vote I love giving the government all of my money , and not to forget her national health care , that is when the govt. gets to tell you what you can & can not eat , and we all get to pay for the repeat visits to all the rehab clinics that most addicts (( including Hollywood )) get to go to .. if health care is for all , that includes hollywood , I do not think we the everyday people should have to pay for an idiot's addiction and every other month relapse ... and that is just the start

It would appear that there's a lot of folks out there who don't share your enthusiam for Hillary Clinton. For example:

AN OPEN LETTER TO HILLARY CLINTON,
BY JUANITA BROADDRICK

'DO YOU REMEMBER?'
SUNDAY OCT 15, 2000

As I watched Rick Lazio's interview on Fox News this morning, I felt compelled to
write this open letter to you, Mrs. Clinton. Brit Hume asked Mr. Lazio's views
regarding you as a person and how he perceived you as a candidate. Rick Lazio did
not answer the question, but I know that I can. You know it, too.

I have no doubt that you are the same conniving, self-serving person you were
twenty-two years ago when I had the misfortune to meet you. When I see you on
television, campaigning for the New York senate race, I can see the same hypocrisy
in your face that you displayed to me one evening in 1978. You have not changed.

I remember it as though it was yesterday. I only wish that it were yesterday and
maybe there would still be time to do something about what your husband, Bill
Clinton, did to me. There was a political rally for Mr. Clinton's bid for governor of
Arkansas. I had obligated myself to be at this rally prior to my being assaulted by
your husband in April, 1978. I had made up my mind to make an appearance and then
leave as soon as the two of you arrived. This was a big mistake, but I was still in a
state of shock and denial. You had questioned the gentleman who drove you and Mr.
Clinton from the airport. You asked him about me and if I would be at the gathering.
Do you remember? You told the driver, "Bill has talked so much about Juanita", and
that you were so anxious to meet me. Well, you wasted no time. As soon as you
entered the room, you came directly to me and grabbed my hand. Do you remember
how you thanked me, saying "we want to thank you for everything that you do for
Bill". At that point, I was pretty shaken and started to walk off. Remember how you
kept a tight grip on my hand and drew closer to me? You repeated your statement,
but this time with a coldness and look that I have seen many times on television in the
last eight years. You said, "Everything you do for Bill". You then released your grip
and I said nothing and left the gathering.

What did you mean, Hillary? Were you referring to my keeping quiet about the assault
I had suffered at the hands of your husband only two weeks before? Were you
warning me to continue to keep quiet? We both know the answer to that question.
Yes, I can answer Brit Hume's question. You are the same Hillary that you were
twenty years ago. You are cold, calculating and self-serving. You cannot tolerate the
thought that you will soon be without the power you have wielded for the last eight
years. Your effort to stay in power will be at the expense of the state of New York. I
only hope the voters of New York will wake up in time and realize that Hillary Clinton
is not an honorable or an honest person.

I will end by asking if you believe the statements I made on NBC Dateline when Lisa
Myers asked if I had been assaulted and raped by your husband? Or perhaps, you
are like Vice-President Gore and did not see the interview.

Juanita Broaddrick
Arkansas

And then these's the foreign view:

Subject: Hillary Clinton

(Quite a devastating column follows. Bear in mind that this is the London Times, who has no partisan agenda to push.
It was published Jan. 31st, 2007. Most interesting.)

Hillary Clinton's shameless political reconstructive surgery you can measure the scale of an American president's troubles by the number of skutniks he deploys during his State of the Union address.

Every year during his big set-piece speech to Congress, the president will digress from the main thrust of his remarks to offer fulsome praise to some member of the audience in the gallery. This person will have been carefully selected in advance by the president's speechwriters as an exemplar of some virtue and placed there for the purpose. The television producers will have been alerted in advance so that at the right moment, as the president talks about the heroics of this American Everyman, he or she can rise self-consciously and receive the praise of a grateful nation.

This now obligatory part of a constitutional ritual is called a 'skutnik' after the name of the first person so honoured. One January evening in 1982, Lenny Skutnik, a government employee, dived into the freezing waters of the Potomac River to rescue a victim of a plane crash. Two weeks later, during his second State of the Union address, with the US mired in recession, Ronald Reagan had
Mr Skutnik sit in the gallery and paid a moving tribute to his heroics.

This week, for his penultimate State of the Union, Mr Bush had a veritable galaxy of skutniks - soldiers, military people, a firefighter. Whatever you might feel about the wisdom of Mr Bush's Iraq policy or the feasibility of his plans to wean Americans off petrol, you can't help but stand and cheer the good works of a decent person.

But there was something unusual about this year's constellation of ordinary American heroes, beyond the sheer numbers. Usually the skutnik is a presidential privilege. But so intense already is the competition for the 2008 presidential race that others have muscled in.

And so Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton had a skutnik of her own. She arranged for the son of a New York policeman, sick with lung cancer, to be there. As it happened, the man's father died that day, and the son's grief became a sad and very visible coda to the event.

This little incident, the skilfully choreographed exploitation of a human tragedy, the cynically manipulated deployment of public sympathy in service of a personal political end, offered a timely insight into the character of the politician who this week launched the most anticipated presidential election campaign in modern history.

There are many reasons people think Mrs Clinton will not be elected president. She lacks warmth; she is too polarising a figure; the American people don't want to relive the psychodrama of the eight years of the Clinton presidency.

But they all miss this essential counterpoint. As you consider her career this past 15 years or so in the public spotlight, it is impossible not to be struck, and even impressed, by the sheer ruthless, unapologetic, unshameable way in which she has pursued this ambition, and confirmed that there is literally nothing she will not do, say, think or feel to achieve it . Here, finally, is someone who has taken the black arts of the politician's trade, the dissembling, the trimming, the pandering, all the way to their logical conclusion.

Fifteen years ago there was once a principled, if somewhat rebarbative and unelectable politician called Hillary Rodham Clinton. A woman who aggressively preached abortion on dem and and the right of children to sue their own parents, a committed believer in the power of government who tried to create a healthcare system of such bureaucratic complexity it would have made the Soviets blush; a militant feminist who scorned mothers who take time out from work to rear their children as "women who stay home and bake cookies".

Today we have a different Hillary Rodham Clinton, all soft focus and expensively coiffed, exuding moderation and tolerance.

To grasp the scale of the transfiguration, it is necessary only to consider the very moment it began. The turning point in her political fortunes was the day her husband soiled his office and a certain blue dress. In that Monica Lewinsky moment, all the public outrage and contempt for the sheer tawdriness of it all was brilliantly rerouted and channelled to the direct benefit of Mrs. Clinton, who immediately began a campaign for the Senate.

And so you had this irony , a woman who had carved out for herself a role as an icon of the feminist movement, launching her own political career, riding a wave of public sympathy over the fact that she had been treated horridly by her husband.

After that unsurpassed exercise in cynicism, nothing could be too expedient. Her first Senate campaign was one long exercise in political reconstructive surgery. It went from the cosmetic - the sudden discovery of her Jewish ancestry, useful in New York, especially when you've established a reputation as a friend of Palestinians - to the radical: her sudden message of tolerance for people who opposed abortion, gay marriage, gun control and everything else she had stood for.

Once in the Senate, she published an absurd autobiography in which every single paragraph had been scrubbed clean of honest reflection to fit the campaign template. As a lawmaker she is remembered mostly, when confronted with a President who enjoyed 75 per cent approval ratings, for her infamous decision to support the Iraq war in October 2002.

This one-time anti-war protester recast herself as a latter-day Boadicea, even castigating President Bush for not taking a tough enough line with the Iranians over their nuclear programme.

Now, you might say, hold on. Aren't all politicians veined with an opportunistic streak? Why is she any different?

The difference is that Mrs Clinton has raised that opportunism to an animating philosophy, a P. T. Barnum approach to the political marketplace.

All politicians, sadly, lie. We can often forgive the lies as the necessary price paid to win popularity for a noble cause. But the Clinton candidacy is a Grand Deceit, an entirely artificial construct built around a person who, stripped bare of the cynicism, manipulation and calculation, is nothing more than an enormous, overpowering and rather terrifying ego.
