Actually, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Hillary make her bid for president.

Yayy one more in the Bush Dynasty to allow old man Bush to pull the strings for another 4-8 years. When is that old man gonna give up the reins? Maybe there should be term limits on families as well. I mean who honestly believes that there will be any difference in policy between the chimp-in-chief and his brother? you might as well just let dumbass run again if you are gonna run his brother. Kennedy's and Bush's hold waaaaayyyy too much power in this country.

Makes Europe and Austrailia look ALOT more attractive....now if I can just find someone to give me a job and pay for my way over there.

On a side note. Getting a woman into office would be hard.

First, the first women president has a huge responsibility on her shoulders. Not only is she president but she will be representing the entire female population of the country. If she screws up, you can be sure there will be a huge population out there saying "See, I told you we should never have let a women become president". She needs to be far superior to the person whom she takes office from.

Of course she is going to have to do all that with an incredible amount of resistance and people doing everything in their power to make sure she fails. They will want to prove that a woman should never have become president to begin with. The first time she does something that even remotely resembles a gender decision or anything really that the media can spin into her doing something specific because she is a women, a world of shit is going to poor onto her.

IMO it would be far better for women in general if there was a female vice president before a female president. Give the people of this country a chance to see a woman in a major political role while at the same time not being the president. After that, they might be more used to having her there and be more willing to accept a woman as the president.

Only time will tell as to what will actually happen. I don’t think it would be much of a surprise to see Hillary put in her bid; however I wouldn’t expect the democrats to back her in the 2008 election. They are going to want to put up the strongest possible candidate to get a democrat back in office and I don’t see them trying to run a woman in an election as important to them as this one will be. Its not that she may not be qualified, but I think the first time a women runs, it will be viewed as a stunt for which ever party does it. This is not a chance I see the Democrats taking in 2008.

Who do you think was pulling the strings in Clinton's administration? Hillary, and he was probably the best president we have had in my lifetime (imo)

Because, you know, there aren't any major policy differences between the two Bush administrations.

Why was he the best Prez in your lifetime?

In my opinion we do not know the facts about a Presidency until years after they are gone.

Actually I hope that Laura and Hillary both run, because Laura would win by a landslide. :boots:

Laura's smarter than Hillary, and better-looking for their age.

Hillary is a lawyer, Laura was a Librarian. I'd kinda give the edge there to Hills.

Hillary will be 58 this year. Laura is a year older.

I dunno why you think that, she seems like a classy Lady to me. Hillary is more like a screeching harridan.

Title should have been: "YES DAMMIT I came all over that fat bitch's face, now leave me alone and send me more fat womens"... or maybe this one "Tide is your friend"... or how about "how to make the most out of your internship in three easy steps"....

I wonder if he will still get some ugly intern snatch when he is the First Dude?

Well, we elected a monkey and I haven't heard anyone saying, "See we should never have let a baboon become president." Well, ok maybe I have... take that back, you're right. :wink:

I fear the day a woman is in control of this country.

I think I just shivered.

It's pretty sad when people refuse to accept that a woman can be a powerful leader. Are you even registered to vote, Harrison?

Powerful leader or not, women are prone to stick to grudges, take things more personally than men and we would never see ourselves out of wartime.
