President Hillary Rodham Clinton

[DemocratSinceBirth]

She's about my third or fourth choice but she's a lot more appealing than Guliani, Romney, or Thompson...

I don't think I can take four more years of GOPU misrule...

[whistle]

1. "President Hillary Rodham Clinton" has a nice ring to it

[jgraz]

2. Correction: We can't take four more years of conservative rule

We need someone who's willing to make some tough decisions that may piss off the corporate overlords. I don't think that's Hillary.

3. Have We Ever Had A President That Wasn't Somewhat Beholden To Monied Interests?

And please don't say FDR...

Like Keynes he wanted to temper, corral, and control capitalism he didn't want to destroy it...

Plus, by most indices working folks did better in the 90's than they are doing now...

[jgraz]

4. I'm not talking about destroying capitalism

I'm talking about the concerted effort since 1980 (and perhaps 1968) to destroy the middle class and concentrate corporate wealth and power. Clinton was a better President than the Rethugs, but he did his part to keep the process going.

If we don't have a president who can lead from the left, the experience of growing up American is going to change dramatically over the next decade.

5. Working Wages Peaked In The Early 1970s

And have been heading downward pretty steadily since.

18. Jimmy Carter.

Which, uh... is why he lost to Ray-Gun.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. Well

Jimmy Carter is the only sitting president to face a strong primary challenge in our lifetime...

And rightly or wrongly, Ted Kennedy challenged him at the behest of the liberal wing of the Democratic party because they felt Carter betrayed them...

6. So you'll vote for Giuliani's Supreme Court choices?

Or Thompson's? Or Romney's? Yeah, that'll get rid of conservative government.

Vote your choice in the primary. In the general, you're a Democrat or you're not.

8. The Supreme Court Is "Ruined" For A While To Come

Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, Kennedy and Ailito are there for decades to come... The best the Dems can do is stem the damage by replacing the older more liberal justices with younger ones...

[jgraz]

19. False choice

How does advocating for a progressive nominee translate to voting for Giuliani? Of course Hillary will be a better president than any Rethug, but she'd also be worse than just about any other Dem running.

[Xenotime]

7. Can we just go ahead and start calling her that?

Just to feel better.

10. I'm A Pragmatist

I would be shocked if "our" candidate wasn't Obama, Clinton, or Edwards... If someone feels differently I respect their right to differ but I would ask that they bookmark this post rather than engage me in some infernal argument about the future...

That being said, those three are light years better than anything the GOPU has to offer...

[DinahMoeHum]

9. She's not my favorite, but AFAIC, she's still a thousand times better

than any Repig POTUS candidate.

:kick:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I Like Obama And Edwards Better But I Am Warming To Her Candidacy...

I think the right wing spin was coloring my negative view of her...

They say there's nothing like an impending execution to focus one's mind , well there's nothing like a GOPU presidential victory to focus one's mind...

[liberalnurse]

11. My only choice!

O8)

[cutlassmama]

14. mine too n/t

[terrya]

13. If she is the nominee, I will support her 100%

I will not, ever, ever, ever do anything that will bring about a Guiliani, McCain, Romney or, God help us, a Fred Dalton Thompson administration. None of those choices is acceptable. Christ, this should be a no-brainer.

Hillary Rodham Clinton isn't perfect. But I will do all I can to elect her if she's the nominee.

[Forkboy]

15. I agree she's far better than any of them.

I do,however,worry that we're setting the bar awfully low.If all it takes is to be better than this gang than 99% of DU would make a good President. :)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. Ha

If all it takes is to be better than this gang than anybody in the first ten pages of the phone book would make a good president...

[Forkboy]

17. I don't know whether to laugh or cry over that statement.

;)

[liberalnurse]

23. You haven't been to any of the candidates

Rally's have you? I have seen Kucinich, Biden, Clinton, Obama and Edwards......I have made an informed decision. Kucinich,Clinton, Edwards several times.....

Hillary has the POWER.....power of the Democratic Leaders within the essential states......all the candidates know this and realize she is the one...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. Blame Forkboy P- I Was Merely Amplifying What He Said...

But yeah, I think our candidates are basically decent people who would take this nation in a more humane direction and try to heal the rifts in society intentionally created by the Republicans...

Bush* is a divider not a uniter...

[liberalnurse]

25. Forkboy has been

a stalker to me....I have him on Ignore. I see he still stalking me. I'll let the Mods know, thank you.

[MODemocrat]

21. Looks good, and suits me just fine

She's my favorite of all the candidates. Go Hillary :thumbsup: :dem:

[LSK]

22. Im still holding out hope for President Al Gore or President John Edwards
