Who wants Hillary?

[quicksilverdon]

From what I've been reading, Hillary is a fairly good senator - does her homework, speaks well, but president? WHY? I, for one, want change - I think we deserve someone better than a Clinton or Bush.
If you would consider Hiullary, I'd like to know why - why pick her over:
Wesley Clark
John Edwards
Al Gore
Joe Biden
Barack Obama
Bill Richardson...........

I had liked McCain up to a year or so ago, but now he's behind W 100%, backed down on torture, and is sucking up to the religious wackos like Dobson and Robertson.

I was glad to see this poll:

Seriously - I see TV and newspapers saying Hillary is in the lead - why? I think she should stay in the senate.
If you like her, why?

If I remember correctly she was in charge of the National Health Care Plan during her husbands tenure. What happened to that? [:I]

Mitt Rommney all the way. So far he would be my first choice.

Rudy is too liberal on certain things important to me like gun control.

I would vote for Edwards.. He seems like he knows what he is doing, he isn't insanely left like hillary, but he has reasonable ideas for this country.

Hilliary, as much as I would love a woman president has too many negitives for me. She is living off her husbands name, and I didn't like her husband at all.

Not much...
I think the biggest problem with Hillary is that there are those that hate her, and I don't want a candidate that divides the country - we need someone who can unite the country - and she isn't that person - in my opinion.
I was looking for someone who LIKEs her, to tell me - WHY?

Here is a question:
Why is the position that only Government, and the Rich, should be allowed to own weapons called "Liberal".

That sounds like Feudalism to me!

I am too a future NRA member, rudy from what I have heard wants to ban handguns in the city. That is a violation of our 2nd ammendment rights and it also increases crime.

[:I] Washington D.C. has a hand gun ban. Sooooo only the criminals have them. The honest law abiding citizen cant defend him(her) self. I go into DC about twice a year...... and yes I am illegal when I go!

Unless DC has changed the law in the last few years, even as a cop from out of town you still wouldn't be able to carry concealed there unless you were there on official business. And yes, other cops have been charged.......

Sad isn't it..
