These days, a very low percentage support the President and his policies.\n\nMy question to you is, why do you think the public should be grateful to a President for being President? Isn't it the theory in a Democracy that the people legitimize government, and the President should be doing what the people want, rather than the people having to go along with what the President says, just because he says it, and be grateful about it?\n\nThis country works best when people are careful to think about what the President does, and decide for themselves whether or not to support the actions and policies.  It works worst when people just go along with policies for good or bad just because the person implementing them is "our President."   (And deciding people are ignorant just because you disagree is not very intelligent or educated yourself -- and one reason I don't like to call other people ignorant is because then I have to be really careful I spelled all my words correctly.)

Hilary's view is the 'It takes a village perspective.' We all need the state to help us out. Condi is more of a personal responsibility person. She believes while help may be a good thing, it's ultimately the individual who is responsible for pulling themselves up.

First of all, Hillary will never happen.... she isnt taken seriously enough, and besides, no one wants another Clinton in office, she put in her 2 cents while hubby was busy with Monica....\n\nAnyways, President Bush is still the President & has the power to Veto if he so chooses, and believe me he will, with use of discretion of course, he wont be pushed around..

Wasn't Hilary already president?

As a person maybe, as a president he is better than was the option but he leaves a lot to be desired. I am on his side for most issues but not all and I find him to at least be willing to do what he believes to be right. That is rare in politics. He will make the hard choices and stand behind them and that takes balls in his line of work.

If she's qualified to run the country I'll vote for her, I don;'t have a problem with a woman president or a minority president, I do however have a problem with underqualified candidates. Hillary is underqualified to be a senator, and certainly underqualified to be president, one clinton in office was enough, we don't need 2, look what 2 bush's in office has done.

You are correct.  Many people are voting against someone rather than voting for someone.  IMHO, that is worse than not voting at all.  The "against" people are actually cancelling out the vote of someone believing in the issues.  In the last pres. election, I would ask people "who are you favoring and why?"  I didn't persuade to Dem or Rep.  But many people would say "Kerry, because I hate W. this or that, yadda, yadda."  Bill Clinton addressed a democratic convention of some sort and told them that the democratic party needs to be a party for something, not against something.  Unfortately, both parties have drifted even farther away from the center.  The right has gone too far right and the left has gone too far left.  The overall is still probably about center, but the standard devation is so huge that people spend more time arguing about something than acutally doing anything.

I think the resistance by some regarding a woman as president is due to the stereotype that the President must be a man. You'll hear questions like, how would she deal with war, with terrorists, with crises. \n\nShe'd deal like any other person who had the job. Her personal qualifications and leadership ability will be her strength or lack thereof would be her weakness.\n\nHillary would make a much better President the Bush, for example. Hillary pays attention to the problems of things going on in the US and in the world. \n\nI also don't buy into the fact that women would be more sensitive than men if they got the job. Women can be just as cold hearted and calculating as men. \n\nJust review Elizabeth "Libby" Dole's positions when she ran for president in '00. Condi Rice would not be like Oprah if she got in the White House, she'd be more like Cheney. \n\nYou gotta take the candidate for what he or she says and does. Does his or her actions show credible ability to be president. \n\nIf people took this line of questioning in '04, Bush would have been tossed on his ear. \n\nFor the time being, we elect the guy (or gal) who looks best on TV. We really need to be more discriminating in our choice of candidates.

That's a good question! I don't think we know her name yet. It won't happen for a few more elections, and will probably be someone that is not in politics yet, or just getting started. Hilary will run, but I don't think she will get past the primaries. We will have a female VP soon though. Might be this next election or the one after or the one after that, but I feel that it will happen soon.

She is the answer to the Republicans winning.  The Democrats who want her to be nominated are wishy washy liberals who don't understand the political process.  If they would concentrate on winning elections rather than making bold social statements they would be a lot more successful.

As bad as the GOP looks now, unless they pick some extreme right wing nut case, hillary doesn't stand a chance. Not becuase of the whole monica and bill thing but becuase she doesn't relate to the people. What would make this country a lot better place is if it didn't cost so much to run for president so a blue collar candidate could stand a chance.

I support Hilary. I'd vote for her if I knew more about politics and I was the right age to vote. We need both candidates to be female to make it even.

I've been Liberal all my life and really want to see the Democrats take back both the House and Senate as well as the Presidency. However, unless the Democrats get their acts together and move closer to the middle they are destined to be a minority party and looking at another Republican in the White House in 08.  In answer to your question, NO, I do not believe Hilary can win, not because of her sex, but because she, in my opinion, is one of the problems with the Democratic Party. As of now, I think Mark Warner, former Governor of Virginia would be a good bet and a great candidate to take the White House back.

A woman is more likely to become president first,because of the money involved in campaigning.Its easier to marry into money than earn it and white billionaires are much more common than black ones,who seldom seem to inherit that kind of bucks,but usually have to work hard for it.Of course things are different in other lands and places.

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.

They're 'liberal' Americans. They've got a vested interest to see President Bush fail, and they'll stop at anything to see it happen. Look at Michael Moore, he's an idiot, and he's been caught lying over and over again. Yet the Democratic party latched on to him when he started attacking the president.\n\nNow they're rallying behind Cindy Sheehan. \n\nThese people aren't interested in the country, or the truth. They're just interested in winning, and its pathetic.
