Why is it that there are so many here that question Hilary's qualifications, but almost none about the men.?

Question

Do you think all the male candidates are qualified, or is it just that only women have to be qualified.

Answer 1

Hilary is so far ahead in the polls that is the only target.

Answer 2

Which one of the candidates that is most qualified will be up to us to decide. It's called the election process.
Each one of the men can lay claim to some measure of Qualification; Years of government service, business experience, military experience, life experience, education, a track record, voting record over time.
Hillary is running on what she is not rather than what she is.
She's not a man, not George Bush and not a Republican.
Not enough.

Answer 3

Men are Chauvinistic and trying to prove her inadequate, and women are competitive, not wanting a female to 'control' them. That's just the way it is.

Hillary has been doing for kids for many years, waaaay back as First Lady of Ark. She has years of experience in politics, and yes, her First Lady experience counts, in fact, its invaluable. At that time Hillary went to many countries, and those countries love her! That cannot be overlooked or forgotten. Her health care program may have failed, but let's remember it was not her decision alone---many helped it fail. Regardless, in this country, we have the right to 'fail', and learn from our mistakes.... hence, her failure then is a great commodity now.

Her qualifications far exceed our 'Cheerleader' administration. Unless, being a Head Cheerleader in school is qualification for being President... but I doubt that...what we are seeing with Bush is what happens when a candidate takes office without a Law degree---they know nothing of the Constitution, their rights or ours. Of course, if he is blundering intentionally---he should definetly be impeached...either way, its something to think about.

As long as Hillary stays ahead, people will bash her. And I bet, Hillary LOVES being bashed! Everytime her name is mentioned, positive or negative... she is getting free advertising...So... let the games begin!!!!

EDIT: Well, Teach, I disagree... from what I've read here, men are insulting her because, and they come out and say it, they don't want a woman president---and I've seen some women say that too, alas, we have chauvinism and sexism...with a touch of jealousy and envy.
Personally, I think you are wrong about Hillary not being able to support herself, on her own two feet, and that very fact may be exactly what makes her the 'formidable' enemy 'The Cheerleader' referred to. She has been involved in MANY 'everyday' people things... most for children. As US First Lady she developed and encouraged solid relations with overseas countries.... of course, as we all know, The Cheerleader President has ruined America in the World's view. They love her overseas... the whole world can't be wrong..

Disclaimer: I am an undecided voter, there is more than one candidate and party I am watching.

Answer 4

NOTE: Most of this answer is written in response to the previous answers not the ask-er, who tends to be quite analytical and even-handed in question and answer

Strange how people assume that the motives of all men are fear of women? Since when did all men become monolithic because they come to a similar conclusion.

My personal problem with Hillary is that she has been an addendum to Bill's career and uses his substantial coattails when it suits her. Her connection to "regular" people is the most limited of anyone running for the Democratic Party nomination.

The insulating features of elected government (particularly the executive branch) are best mitigated by the process of gaining power slowly through local elections, then state elections, then smaller national elections (House), then statewide national elections (Senate), then fully national posts (President). The process requires that you build, strengthen, and maintain strong ties to regular voters, not just national constituencies.

Hillary is ill suited to the insulating pressures of the Presidency because she is already too insulated. She has "flown too high on borrowed wings." Her 'bunker mentality' is closer akin to Nixon and his enemies list, than her husband's bipartisan bridge building.

Notice, that none of this has to do with her gender.

There are certainly some people who will refuse to vote for Hillary simply because she is a strong woman. Painting everyone who won't vote for her with the same brush is just as sexist as those you hope to expose.

Hope this helps,
Good luck

Answer 5

Hillary and Obama are among the least qualified candidates who EVER ran for the oval office.

Both of them are junior senators (less than 10 years), and neither of them have a single day of executive experience. (Being a housewife in the White House doesn't count--she never had security clearance to get in on the real meetings.)

Answer 6

I suspect that those who question Hillary's qualifications are running scared because they support male dominance .
Hillary is the best candidate by a long way..

Answer 7

The qualifications are intelligence, judgement, and some amount of experience. Hillary is far more qualified than Idiot Boy was.

Answer 8

I've seen debates from both sides and she's certainly the sharpest. She will win...

Answer 9

They are questioned on family values, religion, and favorite sports team (no $h!t).

They are RARELY questioned on who specifically is footing the bill to get them elected, and who, in the final analysis, is who they will actually serve.

Answer 10

No it's not all women that aren't qualified just Hillary......
