Hillary for President???????
Today, Hillary Clinton announced she is starting her 2008 Presidential campaign. I really hope that the people of this country are not so stupid that they would elect her. There is so much shady stuff around this woman. Our country deserves a better President than one who has lived her adult life, although not proven criminally, definitely questionably.
You can do your own searching on her background, but she certainly has been surrounded by a lot of questionable stuff, including questions of insider trading in cattle futures, improprieties in campaign contributions, questionable real-estate dealings, the miraculously-reappearing-missing-lawfirm-records, failed healthcare reform, fired travel-office staff, and the "suicide" of a close friend and law partner. And remember, an indictment was written up against Hillary after her truthfulness in an interrogation during a Federal investigation was questioned.
During the Monica Lewinsky investigation, rather than facing the fact that her husband was a philanderer, she instead lashed out at the "vast right-wing conspiracy" that was behind the allegations. Of course her husband wound up admitting that he DID in fact have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky. (And yes, it was sex. Just because it had the word "oral" in front of it does not negate that it was sex.) But Hillary is all about deflecting the blame.
Meanwhile, she insulted women everywhere by proclaiming that she wasn't just "some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette". And of course her comment, "I could have stayed home & baked cookies & had teas, but what I decided to do is fulfill my profession." Gee, I'm at home with two boys all day long, and I can assure you, I'm not sitting around baking cookies and drinking tea! It's hard work, not just meaningless fluff, as she suggests! She is definitely not a woman who respects the women in the most important profession of all -- mothers.
I have no problem with our country having a woman President. I think we are ready. But this is not the woman for the job. Our country deserves better. Our country deserves a woman who is respected both within this country and around the world. Our country deserves a woman who has worked hard to live her life within the laws and expectations of this country. Our country deserves a woman who can look at something that may be legal, but recognize that it is not ethical. And then not do it.
Thankfully I've even heard many of my liberal friends state that they do not want to see Hillary as President either.
Now I'm not one of those nuts whose going to say that, "If so-and-so is elected, I'm moving out of this country!" (I'm still waiting for those who said that at the last elections to leave!) But Hillary running for President may just be the kick-in-the-pants I needed to become more politically involved.
Hop on over and visit my friends at Right Pundits who are talking about Hillary today too.

Condi Rice in 2008!!!!!
Grim -- not sure if Condi is the right one either, but at least she doesn't carry all the baggage that Hillary does!
Really? I love Hilary. She's intelligent and I think she can do alot of positive things for our country. She's the one who can possibly fix all the crap that that GW created.
Amanda -- I will give you that she is smart. But more than anything, she is manipulative and scheming. Why else would the once far-left-winger suddenly be playing to the moderate crowd?
But hey, we all have the right to our opinion. As a former DC insider, my opinion is, BLECH!
When she made accusations at the women who had been abused by the power her husband held (and his body)... she lost me.
c.r.a.s.h.
(coming from one who lived through the early years of the fight for womens rights -- at home as well as in the workplace.)
Pamela -- So true! Sometimes silence speaks the loudest. If she would have said less, and not played the blame game, she would have earned SO much more sympathy!
