Answer 1

Hey Chi I know you hate Hillary but it won't make Obama win no matter how much you slag her off pal.

Answer 2

Hillary is being attacked because many people feel she couldn't lead our country out of a wet sock, let alone a critical juncture in our existance. This is only a "woman" thing for a few goofusses who are like that - for me, it's a lack of conviction, too many political ties, and a person who will not significantly change our course for the better. She'll probably just do "some" things, maybe the healthcare thing - or at least try to - and not get enough done, while trying to pander to her own party.

Here's why the Dem's fail - like the Reps, they have constituents. The Reps have the so called Christian Right, which keeps messing up their direction and votablility by mandating certain things. The Dems are similar, having more diverse constituants, but each one can be swayed by the right opposing platform. I know it's a HORRIBLE overgeneralization, and apologize for same, since individuals are more important, but the majority of people in each of these minority stances (such as non-christians, or African Americans, or "the poor" whomever they think or actually are) can be separated from the Dem party by Reps pandering to them that election. Last time, it was the naturalized Mexicans. (Remember "Viva Bush!"?)
Smart move by the Reps, who realize they are growing fastest, and cementing long term power by hitching your pony to a Catholic, (Christian) growing segment that will VOTE.

But I digress - the Shrew is being attacked because people don't care for her and what she stands for - except those without health care, who will benefit if she can push that through. They don't believe in her, and she doesn't inspire confidence in voting for her.

Answer 3

Hillary is attacked by other Democrat candidates because she is the front runner.
She is attacked by Republicans and the odd ethical Democrat because she is a crook and is evil. Hillary was the lawyer for the White Water Real Estate development corporation. Mass fraud was going on at this corporation. Hillary's defense was that she didn't know it. Based on that alone she should be rejected as a Presidential candidate because she is either a crook or an idiot. Hillary is responsible for Filegate and Travelgate, two more good reasons to NOT vote for her and to attack her.
What has she done to indicate that she is qualified to be President? Nada.

Answer 4

Front Runner Status???? That's funny. That's just sad if she's the best thing Democrats can come up with. Re-living the corruption...I hope you all pass on that!!!!!

Yes she cries foul because she only wants to answer some questions, and nobody can criticize her, or she''ll cry " All those boys are bullying me"

Feminist crap. You want to enter the ring be prepared to take the punches.

Answer 5

No, I attack her because:
1. Her universal health care plan was rejected years ago, and is even worse now.
2. She has no military experience other than being married to a draft dodger. That qualifies no one to be the head of our military in very difficult times.
3. She is not a natural leader, as evidenced by recent debates.
4. She has crooks for campaign managers, why should we think she wouldnt put crooks in her cabinet, if elected.
5. She is Pro-death.
6. She had her chances in the white house already and blew it.
7. Her husband would make a terrible first lady.
8. She flip flops and cant make up her mind.
9. She is being criticized because she deserves being criticized.
10. She belongs in prison, not in the white house again.

Answer 6

Both. But, I doubt if Obama were the front runner that his own party or the GOP would be attacking them so voraciously at this point in the game. Like I said before, I'm not voting for her, but let's face it, she's the only female in a good ole boys club. Whenever a female upsets that applecart, the big boys put up a fight. She fights like they do and does a better job of it, and they don't like that kind of competition from a female. That's historically and socially true and it still remains that way today. Men in power don't like women who compete with their status.
You may not like her views but the fact remains that if she was a he, not one of those candidates or the media would be saying one thing against her.

Answer 7

Because for some reason she is front runner, why she is is beyond me. She is being built up by the media because her status is not there because of the debates or what she has done. This is a senator whose approval rating is based on how much she doesn't talk, every public appearance she does drops her approval rating.

She is being attacked because of her, not the fact she is a woman.

Answer 8

Her front-runner status makes her the target of her Dem rivals and GOP hopefuls. She also makes outrageous proposals, but she has no idea how to pay for them (eg, her healthcare plan, $5000 per child college account, $1000 per person for retirement).

Answer 9

Neither. She is being attacked because she is Hillary. She is saying one thing one day and then something completely different the next.

She has made us watch her and put the spotlight on her since 1992, whether we wanted to or not. As a result, we know everything about her and more than we ever wanted to know about her.

She takes no responsibility and no accountability for the things she does and the things she says and the messes she gets herself into.

Answer 10

No. Just plain political arrogance.

Yes. For over 15 years the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy has been attacking her. (she claims)

Yes. Clinton has a long history all right.

Answer 11

Neither, she is being attacked because of her policies.

And yes, she does have a history of crying foul whenever there is any criticism of her.
