With so many people harboring dislike for Mrs. Bill Clinton why would the Dems make her their candidate?

Question

A recent Newsweek article reported that a little more than 50% of Americans simply do not like Mrs.Bill Clinton. Is she just the least of the evils at this point? Why do so many people dislike Mrs. Bill Clinton?

Pooh - Can't face the fact that she is a "Mrs." and she is married to Bill Clinton?

Answer 1

Mrs. BJ Clinton has so many negatives because people view her as a power hungry socialist. She wanted socialized medicine and thank goodness it failed. She flip flops in speaking to the audience before her regardless of the audience she just left simply because of her greed for power. Take the war in Iraq; she was all for it when it started and now wants out and even goes so far as to claim it was wrong - yet her statements at the time was that it was right.

Answer 2

I never understood why they didn't like Bill to the point of endless prosecution and rumormongering and mudslinging. Actions done by people who were doing it themselves so please don't give me the morality line.
Women in power scare some men and women too, if a woman has negative feelings about her own capability then she will project them onto a stronger, smarter woman and decide that the other woman can't do because she couldn't.
Some complain she stayed with her husband, but staying with your husband is considered a good thing for most people so I don't know what that's about. Mostly I think people just believe what they get told from people they agree with without ever actually taking the time to consider the candidates qualifications, background or abilities.
Yes she is for universal health care, considering whats been coming to light about hospitals lately is that still a bad thing?
And when it comes to her war vote.....she believed the President of the United States wouldn't cook the books in a matter as serious as going to war. I believed the same thing and would have voted the same way....and felt just as "taken" as she probably does.

Answer 3

putting off fireworks. He particular have been given Barack and a few others fired up. regrettably South Carolina backfired on him and Hillary, the occasion would be super. what's grow to be sparkling because of the fact the 1st around of fireworks settle is that no candidate can take any balloting group with no attention....geographic, particular activity, race, gender, non secular, youthful, previous, destructive, wealthy. Edwards is a sturdy guy, I hate to work out him falling in the back of. however the Dems have some warm contenders who've delivered out the voters...an further 2 hundred,000 over 2004 in S. Carolina.

Answer 4

She's not an honest woman. We're supposed to believe her when she says she didn't know anything about her husband's infidelity? That she got lucky in cattle futures? Nothing was going on in Whitewater? Travel office firings? Political snafu when they ended up with FBI files on Republicans? People know she's lying, but some people want to ignore that for the simple reason they want to vote Democrat, and in her case a bunch of people want to vote for her simply because she is a woman.

I'm married to a strong woman who has been in leadership positions for 30 years. This men can't handle a strong woman is garbage. Men can handle good leadership. We've had women in key government positions for many years, appointed by REPUBLICANS (Condolleza Rice, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Sandra Day O'Connor) and Democrats. It's just a matter of time before a woman is elected president.

I just want that woman to have high moral character, the same moral character I want to see in a male candidate.

Answer 5

While I was sitting at lunch a while ago, (me being a female at a very, very prestigous institution at the time... One that is already being scrutinized for sexual harassment/assault) my table-mates were talking about this very issue. They told me that they wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton based on the sole fact that she was a woman, and women can't handle leadership positions on the magnitude of the presidency. Perhaps that's why the polls seem so tilted. You have to remember, also, that republicans are nasty and loud when they have to be. I think another idea the dems are using is that Hillary will mobilize the demographics that typically don't visit the polls... Based on her ideology, Hillary is the strongest candidate, though...

Answer 6

I think she's got huge progressive support, but she's too socialist and radical to win the mainstream. Obama promised something new and different, but Ron Paul and Mike Gravel sort of stole that away.

I think Gore could mess her up big time.

She has no intention of pulling out of Iraq, she said that she envisions us having troops there for at least 10 years. That's crazy.

The candidacy really needs a strong 100% anti-war candidate.

I just pray we haven't nuked Iran by then.

Answer 7

I suspect before all is said and done, Gore will jump in at the last moment, Hillary, well, no thanks; Edwards, an apoligist, a new Carter; Obama, an idealist in an era from the past; Hillary could be nominated and elected, never dismiss the Clintons!

Answer 8

I don't know why Remocrats (Depublicans) want her as candidate, but I am not a psychiatrist. Why do I dislike her-how many times must I go through this over and over again? Let's just say: "use deodorant and make love-not war!".

Answer 9

More than likely it's because there are actually some REAL Democrats left in that poor party that has been taken over by the Socialists. They are the smart ones who realize exactly what she represents.

Bless them! Maybe because of the 'free thinkers', this country stands a chance.

Answer 10

I was actually thinking about that the other day. It would be interesting to see the reaction on the Right if she were to get elected. I have a feeling it would be another close election and that there would be similar controversies.
