Hillary Clinton ??

Question

Will women vote for Clinton because she is a woman, because they believe she will be a good president, or for some other reason?
What reason will women vote for Clinton if any?

Only curious thats all.

I myself have had enough of the Clintons and the Bush family.

Answer 1

I won't vote for her because she reminds me of another politican that I don't like;

"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society." [Hillary Clinton, 1993]

"It is thus necessary that the individual should come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation; that the position of the individual ego is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole ... that above all the unity of a nation's spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and will of an individual. .... This state of mind, which subordinates the interests of the ego to the conservation of the community, is really the first premise for every truly human culture .... we understand only the individual's capacity to make sacrifices for the community, for his fellow man." [Adolph Hitler, 1933]

The main plank in the National Socialist program is to abolish the liberalistic concept of the individual and the Marxist concept of humanity and to substitute for them the folk community, rooted in the soil and bound together by the bond of its common blood." [Adolph Hitler, quoted in Hitler, A Study in Tyranny, by Alan Bullock (Harper Collins, NY)]

Or how about this guy;

Comrades! We must abolish the cult of the individual decisively, once and for all." [Nikita Khrushchev , February 25, 1956 20th Congress of the Communist Party]

Or this guy;

"All our lives we fought against exalting the individual, against the elevation of the single person, and long ago we were over and done with the business of a hero, and here it comes up again: the glorification of one personality. This is not good at all." [Vladimir Lenin, as quoted in Not by Politics Alone]

See the common thread in these statements?


And furthermore her political philosophy expressed in that statement too closely resembles this one;

Fascist ethics begin ... with the acknowledgment that it is not the individual who confers a meaning upon society, but it is, instead, the existence of a human society which determines the human character of the individual. According to Fascism, a true, a great spiritual life cannot take place unless the State has risen to a position of pre-eminence in the world of man. The curtailment of liberty thus becomes justified at once, and this need of rising the State to its rightful position. [Mario Palmieri, "The Philosophy of Fascism" 1936]

Answer 2

I live in Iowa, politics central, and this past weekend attended Senator Tom Harkin's Steak Fry (look it up if it's not familiar)

Several of the democratic candidates were there, Obama, Richardson, Clinton, Biden, Edwards, and Dodd. Here are some observations:

Biden put everyone to sleep, I eventually couldn't hear him because the crowd was all talking amongst themselves.

Richardson worked the crowd into a frenzy, a good one, he said some amazing things and was the only one to get a standing ovation when he was done. People were obviously pleasantly surprised.

Edwards and Obama didn't really say anything you haven't heard them say before.

Dodd was pretty uninteresting and also didn't hold the attention of the crowd, he's obviously been speaking a lot because whenever he tried to yell to show excitement his voice was gone....it was sad really.

Clinton recited one of her television commercials that I have seen a number of times, as have the other Iowans, so her attempts at getting crowd response by talking about "invisible" people didn't work. She should have started with something else.

Getting back to your question (sorry) I would like to see a woman president someday, I just don't think Clinton is the one. I would never vote strictly based on this premis either. I did witness Hill at this event end her speech appealing to the women in the audience regarding a woman as president and the crowd went wild. (the women) But, sadly, that's the only thing she offered that moved people. In my opinion that's no way to get elected.

Answer 3

Heck no! I vote for president because I think they are the ones who will run the country well, not because of women's rights or anything. I too am sick of the Clinton's, but certainly not the Bush's, I like them. But no way in the world am I going to vote for Hillary.

Answer 4

I think it's the American women who are more reluctant to support Hillary than men.It's not easy to change a mind set just prior to an election .On the other hand,American men would concede any equally high/strong or an international post to a women than the presidency of their country.In this national dilemma what happens to Hillary is a matter of conjecture or plain speculation.

Answer 5

I won't vote for Hilary because she is a woman and because there's no way she'd be able to run a country. She couldn't even keep her husband from having an affair. I wouldn't trust her with the country. Also in my religion women can't run a country because they will fail and the society will turn into anarchy. Women are too emotional to run a country in my opinion. I hate all the Bush people as well. Thank God I won't be in this country for much longer.

Answer 6

Were I an American of voting age, I wouldn't vote for Hillary. As much as I'd like a woman to be president, I'm not sure that I trust her. My pick is for Obama.

Answer 7

I too am tired of the Bush/Clinton dynasty.

Let's get someone in there that will go by the Constitution.

Answer 8

I won't vote for her. She's a two faced you know what who changes her standings depending on which way the wind is blowing. She's too busy trying to please everyone, I don't think she even knows what she believes in.

Answer 9

I think you will find that you will have the feminists vote for her just because she is a woman without even considering how much she will screw up the country.

You will have anti-feminists and women who just dont give a toss either way about feminism, they will vote like most guys do and that is to do it on merit or their normal party they vote for.

Then you get some women who know deep down in their psyche that there is no f..n way they would vote a woman in because she will without a doubt screw the whole country up.

Answer 10

Not just because she is a woman but because I believe her and like most of what she says about our USA. Woman or not she will be following past priciples and I would vote for her.
