Fill in the blank: If Hillary would ______________, I'd support her.

[tblue]

[NYCGirl]

1. win the primary NT

[PresidentObama]

7. Good attitude to have. Thank you!! n/t

[liberaldemocrat7]

71. If Hillary gets a real prescription drug benefit passed in Medicare Part B

I will support her enthusiastically in the primary.

But for now, I will vote for the following in this order:

Gore

Edwards

If Hillary wins the nomination I will vote for her for President.

[lojasmo]

61. Yes. I will vote for her if she wins the primary. eom

[SusanaMontana41]

70. Bingo

n/t

[Tom Joad]

2. Resign and become a dog-walker,

[Flabbergasted]

11. Ditto

[peace frog]

3. abandon triangulation

I might support her. It would be a good first step.

[eddy51]

4. Be VP.....NM

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Stay in the Senate.

[job777]

50. Yes

A nice comfortable place for her. She would do the least amount of damage staying where she is.

[Dr Fate]

6. Assure me that she has nothing to do with war supporting DLCers who trashed the anti-war movement.

And assure me she has no association with those in the DLC trying to squeeze out Howard Dean.

[David Dunham]

8. She's going to winning anyway regardless of what people here do

Get used to it.

[Dr Fate]

10. Great analysis. n/t

n/t

[FiveGoodMen]

20. .

:spray:

[Laurab]

21. Really? Should we just skip the primaries

the debates, and everything from now until election day, when she'll be coronated? Is it "stolen election" time again? I don't think she's going to win, but maybe you know something I don't?

[Carolina]

36. I wouldn't count my chickens

Where I live, the mere mention of her name has otherwise genteel people swearing. She evokes pure visceral hatred ...

Geffen is right; she's too polarizing.

[knight_of_the_star]

41. Stuff it

Unless you like the idea of dictatorships instead of democracy. We still get to choose who is the nom by voting, it's not like we're in a monarchy.

[Arugula Latte]

65. Okay, everyone. Just give up! David Dunham has spoken.

Oh well ... It's inevitable now, I guess.

[stellanoir]

9. stop acting like a hawkish male and have a different last name. . .

I'd then alter the "'d" contraction to "might."

No offense to the big dog. We just can't have the same two families running our land of diversity for so many decades is all.

[Speck Tater]

12. Run for county dog catcher. (nt)

[Jack Rabbit]

13. ignore focus groups and just speak her mind

I might support her.

I'm sure there a human being beyond that shirkwrap with which her handles have coated her.

[tblue]

43. Bingo! That's how I see it, too.

If I had a sense of what she really feels and thinks, I think I'd be more inclined to understand and therefore support her, even if I didn't agree with everything she says. She leaves me with so many open questions. I'd like to assume she is more liberal than she feels at liberty to appear, but I'm not even sure on what I'd base that assumption. I liked her health care initiative way back when, and I do think she is a brilliant woman who could make a capable president, so I am keeping an open mind about her. I wish I could have 10 minutes with her, or a crystal ball view into her head.

[cyberpj]

14. Denounce DLC corporate funding and go all out for Unions and American workers AT ALL TIMES. nt

[mtnsnake]

15. put her hair in dreads and marry me

Oops, I forgot, I'm already taken. Sorry, Hill.

[peace13]

16. Stop yelling!

Have you noticed how everywhere that she goes she yells?

[peacetalksforall]

17. She would have to take my hand, look me in the eye, and swear

that she is leaving the DLC, that she is extremely sorry for voting for Iraq War II, that she will do everything in her power to prevent Iran War I, that she will disavow AIPAC, AEI, and all similar organizations, that she will work to uphold of-by-for the people, not the corporations, that she will never push state religion down my throat, that she won't lie, that she will personally work smart to win justice for Palestinians and the innocents of Israel. that she will prove that she is not a war monger.

[Crunchy Frog]

18. I can't support her for the Democratic nomination.

It wouldn't matter if she were completely aligned with me on every single issue. I'm absolutely convinced that we will get our asses handed to us in '08 if she is our candidate. My bottom line is that I don't want yet another Repuke in the WH.

[SaveElmer]

19. Run for President...

Oops, she is already doing that...

[Peace Patriot]

22. If Hilllary would call for hand-counted paper ballots, and the dumping of rightwing

Bushite electronic voting corporations and their 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code from our election system, and I thought she was sincere, I would support her. She would have the jump on every other Democratic leader in the country, NONE OF WHOM have called for true transparent vote counting--vote counting that every voter can see and understand.

Interestingly, Hillary was one of ONLY TWO Democratic Senators in the Anthrax Congress who voted against the "Help America Vote for Bush Act" (Tom Delay/Bob Ney-engineered electronic voting scam that spread Bushite-controlled, hackable e-voting machines, like a virulent cancer, over the whole country, with $3.9 billion in boondoggle funding). The other was Charles Schumer. I don't think they voted against it because they have any particular devotion to democracy--more likely because of New Yorkers' attachment to their old, reliable and virtually unriggable, mechanical voting machines. Even so, it's an interesting fact. It's about the only thing I like Hillary for.

[tblue]

44. That would have a huge impact on me, too. She could turn the tables on that BS, and

doesn't she know she can't win unless that's addressed???

[rocktivity]

23. STOP TRIANGULATING! STOP TRIANGULATING! STOP TRIANGULATING!

And sound a little less robotic--she reminds me a little of Laura!

x(
rocknation

[MrMickeysMom]

35. Then, strap a lie detector on after de-triagulating n/t

[BlueStateModerate]

24. Take a stance

Stop pandering. And no, 'having a conversation' is not a stance.

[MsUnderstood]

25. finally come out of the closet. . .I keed I keed

Once again I stand by the assertion that if a dog was running for democractic President I'd vote for it over any republican nomination.

The republicans have proven they only know how to really screw things up. Democrats have proven then only slightly screw it up and do it with good intentions.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

26. Drop Out

[brokensymmetry]

27. run

Let's be blunt...who are our choices?

R: Guliani, McCain, Gingrich. (Yecch!)

D: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards. All
fine candidates. In my opinion, Hillary Clinton has
the best chance of winning. Is she perfect? No.
Is any candidate? Again, no.

But say what you will, I believe her heart is in
the right place. I think she will fight for the
working men and women of America. I think she
will be a breath of fresh air after the last 7 years.
(Has it only been 7? It seems like forever).

So if she runs, she has my vote.

[kestrel91316]

28. ....win the nomination...........

[Hollow Shells]

29. Abolish prisons n/t

[pbca]

30. Retire?

[Catchawave]

31. ...would accept a position in the Edwards cabinet....

I would support her

:toast:

[JohnLocke]

32. Me too. :)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

33. give her 40 million dollar plus war chest to Dar fur victims, or NOLA

rebuilding projects or Global warming initiatives, and just run on her own merits...

[LEW]

34. Say her war vote was wrong and take a stance

I can believe how underwelmed I have been with her campaign thus far.

[Colobo]

37. support Obama for the presidency

[Ouabache]

38. pick up an olive from the floor with her ass crack...

old fraternity rite, sorry I couldn't resist.

[Shrek]

39. Seek the Democratic nomination n/t

[jaysunb]

40. win the nomination.

n/t

[WonderGrunion]

42. Become a leader

My only real beef with Hillary is that she tends to wait too long to take a stand on issues and then figures which position is most politically safe before supporting or opposing an idea. I'd really just once like to hear her step up front first on any issue and be a leader. Ultimately that is what a president does . . . lead.

[Clarkie1]

45. Finish out her term as Senator of NY. nt

[Check12]

46. Give me a million dollars

[Bonobo]

47. Speak from the heart.

[PhilipShore]

48. Stop lying

[ellisonz]

49. Smoke grass on live television.

:D

[MrSlayer]

51. Be the insulting clown in the dunk tank at Ozzfest.

That could be fun.

[Vinca]

52. Institute universal health care (not universal insurance) starting

her first day in office. I will freely admit to being a universal health care whore. I'll switch my vote based on that one issue.

[draft_mario_cuomo]

53. Adopt a principle or two other than self-interest

[Stoic]

54. Magically transform into Al Gore

http://www.draftgore.com/">DraftGore.com

[Blue-Jay]

55. fart rainbows

[bearfan454]

56. If she stopped being an elitist for the rich nt

[Q]

57. Hillary would have to...

...break all ties to the DLC and 'new' Democrats before I will support her.

Otherwise...she's just the same old pill in a brand new bottle.

[Geek_Girl]

58. Call for the immediate withdraw of the troops and support legislation to stop funding of the war

and make that the primary focus of her campaign.

[Faryn Balyncd]

59. Renounce . . . . . . . . Permanent . . . . . . . . Bases . . . . . . . . .in . . . . . . . . Iraq

Unfortunately, she now can't even envision American troops really leaving Iraq during a Clinton presidency.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/14/washington/14cnd-clinton.html?ex=1331524800&en=205ac04e1a67b900&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

[WyLoochka]

64. Seconded - No Permanent Bases

She won't commit to this, of course, because she is FOR permanent bases.

Even if she had a sea change in her currently repugnant stand on permanent bases, I would still have a really tough time supporting her as I am fundamentally opposed to governance by a few powerful families.

A functioning representative democracy elects new people not the same old same old "power sharing" elites.

Flip side, imo, a dysfunctional representative democracy keeps looking to and electing retreads.

Sequel Governance has been shown to be similar to the movies - very rarely is a sequel as good as the original.

[HappyWeasel]

60. smoke pot and listen to the grateful dead

or just take a stand on Iraq.

[Cobalt Violet]

62. Take the same view on the issues as Dennis Kucinich....

Of course she won't even say what her view is on the issue because she doesn't what to offend her right-wing base.

[bamacrat]

63. Put down the script.

Everything she says is so planned and predetermined. If she would say what she thinks she might get more support, but on the other hand, what she really thinks may hurt her.

[Arugula Latte]

66. ... peel off her face to reveal the robot beneath ...

Well, I still wouldn't support her for president, but that would be cool ...

[windbreeze]

67. quit running...? I'd really support that move...

Bush/Clinton Bush/Clinton?...naw...
wb

[ButterflyBlood]

68. quit being a female Lieberman and start being electable

And since there's no way she can do the second, I'm not supporting here. There's simply way too many Hillary haters for her to be able to win.

[Apollo11]

69. endorse Al Gore as our nominee in 2008

Let's all find ways to show our support for Al Gore! :patriot:

[hippiechick]

72. drop out of the race

... otherwise, she'd have to actually be running for the right reasons. To serve the people of this country. Poor people. Uneducated people. Disenfranchised people. People stepped on by NAFTA and Welfare-to-Work and "Informed Consent" and "Don't Ask Don't Tell". Not the people at the think tanks and the $10,000 a plate dinners. Not the friends from the Big Dawg Administration. Not her own ego & ambition.


But most of us know that's not going to happen, so basically ... I guess there's nothing she can do to get me to support her.

[casus belli]

74. Ditto.

I'm not sure there's enough substance there to warrant the (D) after her name some days. It's getting harder and harder to distinguish her from her counterparts on the right.

[TankLV]

73. Did Hillary commission this so she can further "tailor her message" - yet again?

God, and I thought only repukes pandered to the latest polls and triangulations...
