I'm a Democrat, should I be worried?

Question

I think its more important to put any Democrat in the White House other than Hillary, Im worried that it doesn't seem there is a lot of love for Hillary, and if the primary elections choose her, will she win? The existing Democatic controlled congress isn't getting anything done, I'm worried

Answer 1

we got min. wage up. so, thats at least one think that the dems have done. the main problem is bush keeps vetoing everything, so it is hard to get stuff done. I think Edwards would be a good candidate.

Answer 2

No you should not be worried.
The Democratic Congress actually did achieve everything they set out to do immediately

And despite the negative comments from the press (and these crazies still think it is "liberal media") have achieved a great deal more since then

Hillary is not the despised character you see mentioned here. A poll to determine who people would definitely NOT vote for actually had her second only to Obama with 41% definitely would not vote for her (Obama is at 39%).Next was Edwards with 43%, then Guiliani with 44%.

Despite conservatives loving to tell us she is "unelectable" in fact the opposite is true - reliable polls show here winning every match up.

The reason you see so much about Hillary is conservatives are most scared of her. At present she is a clear favorite to be the next president.

If your only fear is of her not getting elected then forget it. If you disagree with her on issues then fair enough - push the candidate you want (personally I am still hoping Al Gore will throw his hat in the ring).

Answer 3

I would not be too worried.

The Republican party does not have anyone they can match up with her. Rudy would not have a chance - too many negatives that have been almost completely untouched - and he would be the Republicans only hope.

There will be a lot of negativeness toward Hillary, of that you can be sure. She has gained a lot of ground though in having more people like her.

I am just not so sure about some of her proposals. but at least she is bringing new ideas to the table!

Answer 4

You should be worried. Although the polls show that voters would choose a Democrat over a Republican in the next election- when the primaries are over and Hillary is on the ticket for the Democrats, the majority of Americans will not vote for her. She is the most divisive person in American politics.

Answer 5

No, it's far from certain that Hillary will win, and you need to consider whether she still would be a better president than Mayor Rudy who has no national experience and who has adopted the neoconservative approach to foreign relations. In fact, he's hired the most militant neoconservative on the planet, Norman Podhoretz, to help him figure out how to fight the "war on terror."

You could also put your worry and anxiety to constructive use by contributing to the campaign of one of the other Demnocratic candidates. They need volunteers too.

Answer 6

The only way any Democrat loses the primary is if Ron Paul is running as the GOP nominee and in that case, we'd have a man in the White House who has actually voted to end the Iraq War through the proper means (cutting off funding) and who receives the most money of any candidate in either party from the troops (he gets more than all other Republicans combined). We'd have a president who respects civil liberties.

Of course, it is critical that you do everything possible to keep Giuliani out of the White House. His main foreign policy advisor is a Neo-Con who thinks that World War III already happened, that we are in World War IV, and that something called "IslamoFascism" exists.

Answer 7

I don't think that you should be worried. Hillary can stand up to any other candidate. I think that the republicans should be worried. It's time to let go of their failing perspectives, policies, and leadership...

Answer 8

ashamed, yes, worried no. if your a democrat, you should realize no matter who gets elected, its all about tax and spend and welfare schemes heading us rapidly toward socialism. the idea that the pelosi/reid regime could equate the defense of the united states with peanut storage and BILLIONS of dollars in pork spending is, as stated previously, both absurd and shameful.

Answer 9

If she gets the nominating the Democrats will lose! She is hated by all conservatives and plenty from her own party!

Answer 10

All indicators show that the Republican party is gone in 2008

…the only question is, will they be gone for good, and who will replace them?
