Feminist Says Hillary Clinton Plays the Victim

[Guest LadyC]

nice to see we're on the same page again

We always were. You know, the biggest threat to a Hillary Clinton Presidency is the Conservative Christians that dominate our society. If we would unite on rational principles, the division that has so greatly wounded our country will heal and we can elect strong, moral, ethical people again.

Like I said, we are voting on principles right now, not a candidate. I heard a saying once. Don't let your principles dictate who you are. So, when someone asks you. . .are you a liberal or conservative, they are defining you by your principles. My answer, next time, will be, I am an American Christian.

Let those 2 things unite us, the principles can then sort themselves out.

In fact there is a lot of evidence that Lincoln had a gay one.

Could you provide a link to a scholarly work that proves that?

Actually, competence and the ability to form a complete sentence when unscripted makes Americans more willing to ignore indiscretion.

You answer that with a jab at Presidents verbal skills? That doesn't change the fact that when the money is rolling in, the general public is more tolerant of immorality.

had the Bush Administration not been completely asleep at the wheel their first 8 months in office, it may well have never happened.

Hmmmmm, 8 months compared to 8 years of Clinton incompetence and ineffectualness in the face of terrorism.

[Guest LadyC]

clinton's eight year reign of so-called peace led to bin laden being around to carry out his terrorist attack on 9/11/01.

and let's review his years of "peace"...

first WTC bombing

USS cole

american embassy bombings in africa

yeah, peace... his brand of peace was quite costly to america.

[Guest LadyC]

yes, because unlike clinton, bush is trying to put a stop to it. he is trying to protect his nation.

9/11 happened BECAUSE CLINTON did not take action when he had the opportunity, even though he KNEW that bin laden had been behind terrorist actions against the US.

so in short, i blame clinton for 9/11.

but since you seem so intent on bringing up the war against terror, which i fully support by the way, let me remind you of clinton's feeble attempt to look tough on terrorism by launching missile strikes in iraq... and we could talk about the gulf and bosnian wars. and yet when push came to shove, he proved his previous actions were just for show when he refused to actually take action against a terrorist who was handed to him on a silver platter.

get your head out of the sand.

my "beloved" president? i respect the man, and support him on many things, but there are probably more things i don't support him on than do. so quit making assumptions, you're sounding like the kind of person whose only method of defense when all else fails is to make up things about other people.

history is one economic prosperity/economic recession roller coaster. clinton doesn't get the credit for the prosperity, because the economy was on the rebound when he took office. fortunately for him, people mistakenly GAVE him credit for the dot com bubble, which subsequently BURST near the end of his administration. bush inherited a declining economy which slid quickly into the toilet after 9/11 occurred, which again is directly linked to the incompetence of the previous administration. our economy is still trying to rebound from that. and in fact, our economy made a whole lot quicker start on recovery than was expected or was historically typical.

do i think bush has done all he could to get us out of recession? not necessarily. i think he has made some very wise moves, but i think he's also made some very unwise ones. just like every president we've ever had, including clinton.

[Guest LadyC]

oh, and clinton never earned my respect. but i really don't care if you think it's disrespectful to blame clinton or not. the FACTS ARE that bin laden could have been stopped, and it was well within clinton's power to do so, and he CHOSE to do nothing. i think it's disingenuous for people to try and deflect all that.

sorry to run off and leave you with nobody to argue with, but hubby is home and wants the computer.

While Clinton was in office, our economy boomed, more people were spending money, gas prices were at their lowest.

Clinton inherited a good economy from Reagan, but Clinton gets the credit. Bush inherited a bad economy from Clinton, and Bush gets the blame.

Hillary is going to do whatever she has to do to get control of this country. Last night I heard Slick Willey warning anyone who may want to attack her during this campaing. Hey if she can't take the abuse she had better get out of the race. Personally I have a sinking feeling that she is going to win. If she does we had better batton down the hatches, because we are in for a real mess.

I would so much rather have 8 years of Clinton peace time than the last 8 years of Bush Idiocracy

I would rather have 80 years of fighting those bent on our destruction, than 8 years of terrorist encouraging appeasement.
