Why would she be a bad president? Explain.  You can answer one or both, but please use some logic and explain yourself. I have to write a paper and i want to see if she is a viable candidate.

Hillary Clinton at one time was, and I quote, "adamantly opposed to illegal immigration". She also stated that "employers shouldn't hire illegals," and "we need to tighten up our borders". \n\nThat was when it was convenient to her party gaining support, and now suddenly she has jumped from one extreme to the other and on nationally televised events was shown rallying in support and making speeches for illegal immigrants' "rights". \n\nA complete U-turn she's made. She has done the same thing with National Security, Wellfare reform, taxes, and several other issues. She supports issues that get her the vote. \n\nIf she can convince the illegal immigrants (excuse me, I beleive the term is "un-documented workers" now, gag) that she helped to get them their "rights" and the ability to vote, they will all vote for her out of gratitude, knowing nothing about her politics and agenda.\n\nShe has recently jumped on board the impeachment bandwagon, which holds NO water, and has taken part in falsely accusing many republicans. Bush-bashing and popular issue embracing are now suddenly redefining politics as we know them.\n\nThese new political strategies are appearing to me to be a method of regaining power. They've even admitted this, but no one wants to listen. They've also admitted that it is their agenda to impeach Bush. They've PROMISED it. The problem is, I've not heard anyone from the Liberal groups promise anything else...welfare and social security reform? national security? Taxes? NO. Some have talked about these issues, but have done little in the way of distracting the attention from the "real" issues--->Bush's problems.(sarcasm)\n\nHilary, however has promised much. If you've read her Health Care reform proposition, you would know that she's trying to pave the way for socialist medicinal practice. In other words, she wants the nation to practice healthcare the same way it is practiced in Communist countries like the former Soviet Union. What's that? You haven't read about it? I suggest you do, before you make a decision about Hillary Clinton.\n\nMake an educated decision. Listen to her previous interviews, read her reports and propositions. Watch the smirks on her face as a nearby Republican or Conservative takes a reputational punch from the Liberals.\n\nShe's hungry for power, and that's not all she cares about, unlike the rest of the Liberals. Her policies have the potential to rip this nation apart. Look, she's already begun that huge undertaking. The nation is already lashing out from one political corner of the ring to another. "A house divided cannot stand." Her policies are dangerous and acidic. She's vindicative, accusative, and shares views with some previous communist dictators.\n\nI guess you know my answer from my reason... I hope you can take the time to look a little deeper than getting opinions from other people, because if you don't, you're not getting the whole story. You're essentially being brainwashed to a certain point of view. How would you know any different? Find out all these things for yourself.\n\nOn the bright side, here's a list of the things she's fought for. They are not her ACCOMPLISHMENTS, as the article would have you believe, because if you notice the start of each line is "Worked for..." or "Sponsored..." or "Fought for..." There's not many accomplishments on the list, but at least you will be able to see what she claimed to fight for. Really, in the light of things, she's accomplished little in the way of American benefit, but nevertheless, she's atleast done something. But READ CAREFULLY, because these issues will soon, change for her, I promise. Here they are: http://www.hillpac.com/hot_topics/107th_accomplishments.php\n\nGood luck with your paper, and have a great day!

It's looking more and more like\n    Americans do   not   want her elected.\n    After all, she didn't do a very good job\n    the last time she was in the White House.

Everything she does is calculated to win support for the candidacy she desires.\nShe, like Bill Clinton before her, is incontrovertible evidence that America is becoming the land of the stupid, home of the braindead.\nBut hopefully people will come to their senses once again in 08 and vote for the best of two bad choices.\nAnd Hillary will be the worst of the two bad choices in any imaginable case.

I think you're misdefining politically progressive, but of course you understand she's pre-positioning for a presidential run to appeal to moderates. Common knowledge of her defies her voting record though.

She is a token Black, token woman, put in that position to satisfy critics who claim there are not enough Blacks in public office as well as those who claim there are not enough women in public office. Based on this she would be considered as a token Black woman wannabe presidential prospect for all the wrong reasons. I think she is just a puppet anyway, a spinless yesman... that's right, a yesMAN.\n\nMore importantly, anyone whose name has two e's followed by two z's should NEVER be president.

People either seem to love her or hate her. Doesn't seem to be much inbetween. \n\nEven worse the people that hate her REALLY hate her. The republicans were raising money to campaign aginst her in 08 before the last election was over. \n\nBill was a great president, like him or not I think you would have to agree that if he could run again he could win every election as long as he lives. \n\nSo Hillary gets some of that love, but I don't think she will get enough. \n\nLets think about it, 1. She would be the first woman, 2. People hate her with a passion so much so that I'm not sure you could ever change their minds, 3. The republicans have had (although its finally slipping) a strong hold on this country\n\nAll that added up... I don't think she can pull it off. I hope that the dems don't even put her up. They need to prevent another Bush more than anything. I think at this point it would be a huge mistake to put all their eggs in her basket.

Hilary is a bright, tough lady.  I think she would make a great President, almost as good as Bill was. (Lousy husband, GREAT President). She's very savvy politcally and maybe she can figure some way out of this morass the Bush Bunch got us into.  Man, he couldn't wait to invade Iraq, could he? First Cabinet meeting, he told them he wanted to find a way to do it. Congratulations, Bushy, ya done it!\n\nAnd how about that deficit? Wow!  You set a record there, George.  Highest in our history.  \n\nAnd, let's don't forget, you're our first (s)elected President.  YAY!!!!

A woman as president? let see England hasn't done too bad. If a good woman ran I would vote for her. Any person that is capable of moving the country forward deserves the chance. As for all the people that are condemning Bush, DID YOU VOTE??! because if you didn't you have no right to complain.

I don't understand the strong hatred either.  I would hate to think it is because she is a woman, but I strongly suspect that is the real issue. \n\nShe has some very good ideas.  And I am very glad she was elected to the Senate. \n\nPeace.

Briefly, to respond to the previous poster: "ISN'T SHE THE ONE WHO VEHEMENTLY DESPISES OUR PRESIDENT?"  - That's not exactly a unique position.\n\nAs to the original question: It would depend on who she was running against.  I would not vote for her in the primary because I believe she is too polarizing of a figure to win a national race.  If she did win the nomination, I would have to judge her against the other candidates.  I would certainly vote for her if, say, Condi Rice or Chuck Hagel won the GOP nomination; other candidates might get my vote over her.

I think a woman can be a great president.  \nSomeone above answered that the decisions cannot be based on emotions.  Actually I think that assumes that you need to be a robot to make a great president.  A man who is not in touch with his emotions: like G.W. Bush?  He is absolutely horrible as the leader. \n\nA leader of any nation needs to be "in touch" with his/her emotions.  Yet has the ability to translate these emotions into proactive and sometimes extremely difficult decisions.  A president works with many different people and lead them by example.  A woman with strong principles and leadership will fill the shoes as well as any other boys.  I truly believe that a woman might actually do a better job in international diplomacy!!!

OK, Democrats...the chosen one...Shrillary Clinton\n    Republican...Condi...I know, she says she has no interest in running, but she will answer the call of duty as she always has.\n\nWho will win?  Well, we can choose between 2 candidates.  One worked her way to where she is, speaks several languages, is a concert pianist, was chancellor at Stanford, and was an olympic alternate in some sport, I forget what.  She also has plenty of foreigh policy experience as secretary of state.\n\nThe other candidate got to where she is by who she married including her current position(she got a lot of campaign contributions  from people  pardoned by her husband.)  And she has a complete disdain for our military, the people who keep us safe.\n\nWho would you pick?

No, because she is likely to run for President and therefore cut her term as a representative of NY short. She's not done much for them - she's spent most of her term justifying her husband's presidency, selling their books, and keeping her name in the national news. I really don't understand why they would re-elect her.

I think people resent the fact that she pulled Bill's strings a lot when he was President.  There is no doubt that she is a very intelligent woman (which intimidates other people).   The fact that she is on the extreme left and as liberal as they come doesn't help her case either.  I'm sure on the woman-front, the fact that she is tolerant of Bill's sexual antics didn't help her either.   Politically she is a walking nightmare, which causes talk-shows to plaster her all the time.   Just being the wife of Bill Clinton put her in the spotlight and make her the brunt of jokes for years on the talk shows (Letterman, Leno, etc...)   See, there is something for everyone to hate with her.   All this, and I don't dislike the woman.  I just wouldn't vote for her.

I would like Condelizza (my apologies if I misspelled her first name) Rice to be the next President of the United States of America.  She is well qualified, having multiple Ph.D.'s in international affairs, and she has served as chief of the Intel. community and State Department.  I think she would make a STRONG president.

Yeah, I'm in, kind of... but everybody seems to be worried about Hillary. Why worry about her? If the first two men in line for president fail, guess what? Nancy Pelosi gets to be president. She is more likely to get there than Hillary.

I think this question is bogus, because the assumption that Hillary is the front-runner for the 2008 Democratic nomination is, frankly, ridiculous.\n\nRepublicans would love to see her get nominated because they know she doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.\n\nSomeday we will have a woman president. It's just not going to be Hillary. If the Democrats want to win back the presidency, they won't even let her be the V.P. nominee.\n\nSo to answer your bogus, ridiculous question -- in the matchup of your dreams, McCain/Guiliani would destroy Hillary/Obama.\n\nBut for the sake of this country, let's hope the Democrats aren't that stupid.\n\nP.S. I think both sides would be wise to avoid nominating a U.S. Senator for president. A former U.S. Senator hasn't won a presidential election since Richard Nixon. The disadvantage for Senators is that their record on national issues is too easy for opponents to pick apart. Governors have a far easier time, IMO.
