Or will that kind of politicking be the reason she wins?
I think we're all a little fed up with the bigots and pundits, don't you?
Don't like her? Fine...
But do you know anything about government other than name-calling?
(just so you know, I'm voting for someone else in the primaries so I'm not like her #1 fan or anything).

They are so agonizingly ignorant that they don't realize smear crap like this does nothing but highlight their own fear and desperation. This type of name calling actually causes the opposite effect they are trying to induce. After the ugly swift boating 2004 election, Americans are sick to death of these kinds of ploys. If Hillary receives the nomination and the neocon character assassination squad goes into their usual dance of bringing up past accusations that were never proven, and tries to continue painting her as a socialist or a lesbian, or whatever they come up with next, they'll have a big surprise coming. Nobody but them wants to hear this garbage anymore. If they can't figure out that the only way to beat her will be to address the issues instead of using the Karl Rove Handbook of Smear Politics, we will be saying Madame President in '09. Not that I have a problem with that, I will be voting for her. I do appreciate that though you support a different candidate, you feel the same way I do about it. Let's talk issues, not garbage.

I agree, and I'm no fan of her's. Name calling, on either side of the political aisle, serves no purpose other than identifying the person doing the name calling as ........well, I was going to say "dumb", but I won't. It identifies them as having nothing constructive to say. Hillary is what she is and always has been and probably isn't ever going to change. If she loses the election and drops out of sight it will be because a majority of people recognize her for what she is. The same thing holds true for President Bush. Calling him stupid, war criminal, or liar isn't going to change anything. He's going to retire two Januarys from now and there'll be someone else in the White House for people to throw rocks at and say that he is a liar and stupid. Given the dumbing down of the average person who's "interested" in politics it will go on and on, no matter who the President is or what party he belongs to.

Isn't that "politics" ? Digging up dirt and slander and names to call and dirty laundry to air? C'mon.. it's been going on for years. It's just that now it's so much simpler to find out dirt on people and for the media to bombard the public with it. Some of it is completely irrelevant to whether the person is capable and the best suited for the position he/she seeks. But, boy, do they know which buttons to push, eh? Soooo it is always interesting to see who are the sheep and follow whoever baaaaa's the loudest .. It doesn't matter to me if she's lesbian, or a cross-dresser, or what her sexual fantasies or inhibitions or fetishes are. oohh i always end up here .. im2sexy4politics 2sexy yeah yeah thumbs down ty amen, let's eat

They are just SO desperate at this point; the republicans still don’t have a clear front runner.
The most likely republican candidates Rudy and Mitt have issues, that will prevent people from voting for them.

It's called "desperation".
They have NOTHING against her that they can prove so they have to resort to these name-calling tactics.
Along with the ever bogus "clinton body count" and crap like that.
Any person with 1/2 a brain (that eliminates most neocons) can simply look up the facts on sites such as snopes.com or the like, but noooo, they'd rather make themselves look like idiots and just pass on the bogus info.

It amazes me that they actually bother with this kind of sophomoric behavior. It shows a lack of intelligence on their part and makes voters wonder if people like that should have their opinions respected.

I love how some say she's a lesbian and others accuse her of having an affair with Vince Foster.

To the best of my knowledge if Hillary had any body on the side she has really kept it covered up real good.
Slick should have followed her example.
The Hilde beast will be her own down fall.
From papers not released to subpoenaed papers on her desk appearing 1 day after the statue runs out.

Calling her a lesbian will have more women votes lol....
If you're smart (not you), you will have enough sense to look at all the candidates. The one that says my religion is none of your business would get my vote.

It seems to me the people bashing her the most are Democrats who don't think she has a chance of beating a Republican.
Hillary has enough legitimate things to criticize without silly name calling.
