Hillary is trying to appear more feminine and motherly - didn't she mock these attributes in the past?

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/10/18/clinton_shows_femininity_to_court_key_constituency/
MANCHESTER, N.H. - Everywhere she goes, Hillary Clinton asks voters to help her make history as the first woman president.
Yet Clinton is increasingly portraying herself more as motherly and traditional than as trailblazing and feminist, sometimes playing up the differences between men and women.

Answer 1

She should win an academy award for best actress... Between this and her accents, it's a shoe-in!

Answer 2

I really don't care how she's trying to "appear" and I am thoroughly sick of people making voting decisions based on appearance.

Unfortunately, all candidates, especially for President, must be aware of how they appear.

This is because the voting populace is largely ignorant of issues, and that ignorance is a tragedy for this country.

I think it's just great that a woman is running for President for the second time in our country's history. I think it's great that an African-American is running, too.

But I'll make up my mind on the character and positions on issues that the candidates stand for, not on how they appear.

Answer 3

She is a chameleon. She changes her colors faster then the little anole lizard I had as a kid. One black is sounds like a she is imitating a black minister in the south, the next she sounds like a hoity toilty douchebag from New England.

What amazes me is people believe her even with her duplicitiousness pointed out to them..

The sheep scare me as much as Hitlery herself. In the mid 1930s Hitler was lauded enmass by the people of Germany. I see little difference between the fascists of today and the fascists of 1930s.

People forget She is antisemetic, She wants to have government controls over many areas of our lives. That is not freedom or liberty.. It is tyranny.

Answer 4

She has always been a good mother and never mock motherhood and how can you say that running for president is portraying herself as traditional. So you don't like her, but surely you can find some real flaws to criticize. Even I can, and I Like her.

Answer 5

When I was in the wholesale sales 'game' years ago, there was a couple of sayings that ran their course.
Talk about me good, talk about me bad, PLEASE, NEVER quite talking about me.
Word of mouth is 'free' publicity,
Politically, the verbiage is : Pander here, Pander there, Pander when ever you get the Chance.
Now Hillary has brought all this together, this way :
Pander everyone, wherever, whenever, however, just so long as you can keep people talking !!!

Answer 6

Where in the world did you ever get the notion that feminists aren't good mothers?

And you'd be hard-pressed to try to make a case against Hillary for not being a good mother.

Ever hear of the bush twin alcoholic sluts?

Answer 7

I think the evidence is clear that Hillary has been a wonderful mother- just look at Chelsea, a very intelligent and successful young lady. Also, she has managed to avoid the paparazzi, unlike the sons and daughters of other politicians...

Answer 8

She is trying she will try anything at any cost but just remember you can put a wig on a Pig but in the end it is still just a Pig

Answer 9

No, ignorant republicans lied and suggested she mocked those attributes, but of course that's not in any way true. More right-wing lies to get the party of Iraq back in power.

Answer 10

Hillary's assumption that women should vote for a woman solely because she is a woman is about as insulting to women as I can imagine.

Leave it to Hillary to take the subtleties out of chauvinism.

Answer 11

Her cookies like her politics give me a stomach ache and diarea.
